Phil Tufnell - Tuffers' Duffers

Customer Reviews:

Glad I didn't pay full price.......2006-07-04

I was impressed by Tuffers previous DVD as I found it very entertaining, so was expecting another similar DVD - unfortunately too much gabbing and not enough clips. I agree with the previous reviewer - good for one viewing only.

Disappointing delivery from the Cat.......2006-02-11

Although I've been a fan of Tuffers for many years, I found this collection of outtake cricket moments disappointing - too much filling and not enough genuinely humourous cricket. It's OK for a single viewing but there's little to encourage a second look.

A comedy masterpiece.......2005-11-18

Full of hilarious cricket howlers, this DVD had me laughing out loud. You know what to expect from Tufnell, a man who delighted his followers more often with his failings than he did with his occasional triumphs. And you sense Tuffers probably saw it like that too. This is him not so much getting his own back as a celebration of the fact that others could be just as bad - and just as funny.
The DVD is packed with the all the best mess-ups - dropped catches, missed run-outs, collisions, the lot. Some of the sequences are quite incredible - the Keystone Cops-like efforts of South Africa's fielders to dismiss Steve Harmison and Simon Jones last winter had me in stitches. The astonishing running of Inzamam Ul Haq is brilliant comedy too.
It's not all about messing up though. There's a collection of stunning catches and Tuffers throws in his humiliators, Flintoff, Lara, Richards etc - batsmen who cast fear into bowlers the world over - and it's particularly enjoyable to see that big moustache called Merv Hughes being deposited all round Brisbane by Ian Botham.
And of course there's plenty of Tufnell's own 'clangers' - none better than his unbelievable failed run-out of Steve Waugh in Australia - but there are moments of brilliance too and even the odd blinding catch from The Cat.
Overall a superbly crafted and very amusing compilation.

Top work from Tuffers!!.......2005-11-17

Brilliant stuff from Tuffers.......2005-11-17

The producers of this DVD didn't need to think very long about who'd be the presenter. Cricket plus hilarious mishaps? Equals Phil Tufnell.

Tuffers comes across as the same cheeky lad with a nose for mischief that he did when playing for England or sneaking fags from camera crew in the jungle. And with this material, he's like a kid in a playground.

Its always good to catch the greats of the game in a relaxed mood, speaking about strange decisions. And Ian Botham, Brian Lara and others obviously enjoy the chat. The unexpected star of the show? Inzamam-ul-Haq. Notorious for his running between the wickets, Inzy provides some incredible examples of immobility and, on one occasion, an innovative eye for the preservation of his wicket.

Cricket fans or not, have a look at this one. Just a good old laugh.
