    Great fun, 2007-12-12 Whilst watching this I began to wonder why there haven't been more of these DVDs. Every year the usual footie howler DVDs arrive, with varying degress of quality, but rarely a cricket DVD. This is a great example of how to put together an entertaining countdown of cricket's most unusual moments. OK Monty is unlikely to have an acting career after his rather strained performance in front of the camera, but the clips are excellent, the pacing is swift and the commentary from the likes of Phil Tufnell and David Lawrence is really enjoyable. There's even a few interesting facts thrown in between the clips. If you enjoyed the pace and style of last year's 'Ian Wright It Shouldn't Happen To A Footballer' you'll like this, though you may need to be a cricket fan to get the most out of it.
    Great fun!, 2007-12-28 Monty's presenting abilities are, well, they're not, the moment's on the DVD are fantastic, Monty's presentation, cringeworthy. Still, very enjoyable. We need more of these DVD's, I really enjoy watching it. Definately worth your money.
    Loved it!, 2007-12-09 Bought Monty's DVD for my Dad;s birthday and he and I both loved it. There's loads of great contributions from cricket stars like Blowers, Gus Fraser, Yosser Hughes and many more that are really funny. Monty of course is the star but it is actually just great all round cricket entertainment. Can't wait for volume 2. Perfect for any Barmy Army types.
    Better than average, 2008-08-31 Unlike many standard sporting gaffs DVDs, this cricket compilation is more than just a montage of dropped catches and daft run outs. It's a "top 30" of recent moments as selected by England's Barmy Army that range from the funny (Inzamam collapsing onto his stumps) to more serious, like the Alan Donald vs Michael Atherton duel from Trent Bridge in 1998.
Monty's links to camera show his TV presenting skills are less in line with his bowling ability and more like his fielding, but they aren't too bad. More importantly the talking heads used more frequently are the likes of Simon Hughes, Phil Tuffnel, Derek Pringle and Blowers from TMS who all deliver interesting and witty insights into the clips shown.
Overall: unexpectedly recommended.
