222 Genius

10 minutes of pure cricket gold

Those shotgun cracks off the bat all innings are just beautiful.

Brian Lara 153* against Oz, second best batting performance in the history of cricket.

Not denying this Astle classic, but that 136 was special for the context, pitch, bowling attack

That was a joy to watch. You can have your reverse sweeps and ramps, but charging a fast bowler and absolutely smashing him into the stands is my favourite cricket.

And still the fastest test 200 some 21 years on…outstanding.

Just the sound of the bat damn like bullets fired 🧨🧨🧨

Nathan Astle was a genius! What an incredible knock! Thanks @robelinda2

How elegant, and how brute at the same time!!! Now wonder he was my favorite in his days... His game was always a pleasure to watch!!!
