Caught On Camera 4

No one said live TV was easy, but that doesn't stop us enjoying a chuckle
when it all goes wrong. This week in Caught On Camera we take a look at three on-
air gaffes.

Oh Boy...

Tony Greig's analysis stretches beyond on-field events
during this Test between Australia and South Africa in Sydney as the camera picks
out a lady that takes his fancy in the crowd.


Nass Attack

David Gower is enjoying England's serene progress during the Brisbane Test during
the last Ashes Nasser Hussain makes a painful intervention.


Size Does Matter

And finally, our weekly offering from our friends at WorldSportBloopers.com as
Channel Ten News anchor Belinda Heggen cuts Mark Aiston down to size with a low
blow. Ouch!

Caught On Camera 3

This week it's the fielding clangers edition of Caught On Camera, as we pick
out three moments that left the players in question hanging their head in shame.


Comedy Of Errors

This Keystone Cops display of fielding in the IPL from Chennai Super Kings goes
from bad to worse as they fail not once, not twice, but three times to complete the
run out, leaving skipper MS Dhoni fuming.


Born Slippy

It's never a nice experience slipping over in the outfield in front of a packed house
relishing the opportunity to revel in your embarrassment, and Pakistan's Rana
Naved-ul-Hasan had the misfortune of landing firmly on his posterior twice in quick
succession just yards from the England faithful.


Blinded By The Light

And finally this week, we've another offering from our friends at WorldSportBloopers.com. There are
few finer sights for an English cricket fan than an Aussie shelling a chance in the
field and the usually reliable Mike Hussey was made to look more than a little foolish
when he couldn't even lay a hand on this steepling catch against South Africa.

Caught On Camera 2

Members of the Bowlers' Union might want to look away now because this week on Caught on Camera we take a look at three video clips that left bowlers red-faced.

Taking Some Tap

Being carted to the boundary in Twenty20 cricket is par for the course these days, but Hobart Hurricanes batsman Travis Birt took things to a whole new level in this Big Bash League clash with Melbourne Stars. Spare a thought for seamer Clint McKay – an Aussie international, no less – who was clattered for 20 runs in one delivery (yes, one delivery!).


Too Good (Start The Dance)

There's nothing a quick bowler hates more than being hammered straight back over his head for a maximum by a tailender, but that's exactly what Indian tearaway Sreesanth did to Andre Nel. And he wasn't done there. Never the calmest chap at the best of times, the South Africa seamer had steam coming out his ears as Sreesanth delivered a celebratory dance that was as baffling as it was beautiful.


Filth From Hilf

And finally this week, here's one from our friends at WorldSportBloopers.com. With the Ashes already relinquished things were going from bad to worse for the Aussie bowlers in Sydney when Ben Hilfenhaus delivered this stinker of a delivery that posed more threat to himself than the batsman at the other end.

Caught On Camera 1

World Sport Bloopers are delighted to announce a partnership with All Out Cricket. Every week we will be bringing you their 'Caught On Camera' post which will focus on funny moments in cricket. Enjoy!

Love it or loathe it, Australia's Channel 9 commentary is a break from the norm when it comes to cricket coverage. In this week's Caught On Camera we take a look at three of the Aussie network's more memorable moments.

Tony's Technophobia
Technology knows no bounds these days, with all manner of devices available to enhance our viewing experience. Some of the pundits catch on quicker than others though, and poor old Tony Greig tied himself in knots as he tried to simulate his desired slip field during the last Ashes.





Lights, Camera, Loss Of Traction...

Here's one from our friends at WorldSportBloopers.com. Channel 9 always like to be as close to the action as possible but this cameraman got a little more than he bargained for as he took a sweeping shot of Australia's slip cordon...




Time To Get Serious
But it's not all fun and games at Channel 9, and back in 1981 Richie Benaud left viewers in little doubt as to what he thought of the infamous underarm incident after Greg Chappell instructed his younger brother Trevor to roll the ball along the ground to prevent New Zealand hitting the six they needed off the final ball to tie the match. Strong words, Richie...

Cameraman Crashes Segway

AUSTRALIA

During a Test match between Australia and India at the MCG a cameraman crashed a Segway when he failed to notice Brad Haddin's helmet on the field. Joe Previtera was filming the players but as he made his way off the field, he circled behind the Australian slips and tumbled straight over the helmet. Classic blooper!!

Mike Hussey Misses Catch

AUSTRALIA

The normally ever reliable Australian cricketer Mike Hussey loses sight of the ball in the sun and gets nowhere near it!

South Africa Cricket Team Destroy Aussies

SOUTH AFRICA


In what must be one of the strangest test matches in recent history, South Africa sensationally beat Australia in a remarkable comeback in the first test at Newlands in Cape Town.

The visiting team opened the match scoring 284 runs, all out in the 1st innings and looked to have dashed SA's hopes of winning the 1st of the 2 test series by dismissing the hosts for just 96 runs. Just when the Aussies had it in the bag, the match was turned on its head once again, this time, Australia were bowled out for 47 runs, at 1 point being 21 for 9 facing the lowest test score in history but thanks to a last wicket partnership the Aussies avoided some unwanted records.

South Africa returned to the crease and ended the day in control with Hashim Amla and Graeme Smith between the wickets and went on to beat the tourists by 8 wickets on the 3rd day of the test.

In a day where records tumbled, 23 wickets fell and both teams were dismissed for under 100 runs, this was just the second day in test history that all four innings flowed onto the same day.

About World Sport Bloopers

World Sport Bloopers was created following the frustration of using video sites. Many offered videos that were filed under 'funny' or 'humor' but were not specific to sport. It required a lot of searching to find what we wanted. Even when you found the video, it was often edited poorly or inserted in a news segment so it had less impact.

World Sport Bloopers is inspired by UK shows like Fantasy Football (hosted by comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner), the eccentric Frenchman Remi Gaillard and US shows like Jackass. We aim to bring you the best bloopers, fails and WTF moments. We hope you enjoy the site!!
