Can Butcher sing Surrey through to Twenty20 video glory

Published 7 June 2007

The concluding part of the Ramprakash/Butcher singing and dancing partnership has now been released and is available on Surrey TV.

Surrey County Cricket Club’s stars, Butcher and Ramprakash added to their singing and dancing repertoire with a short video sequence filmed on the Club’s home turf at the Brit Oval on 24 April.

The Club’s idea was to produce a viral video, which would appeal to as many people as possible and entice them to come down to watch their heroes in action. These people would either be loyal fans who are a regular spectators, cricket buffs who follow from afar or those who just recognise the pair for the respective reality TV programmes.

In an attempt to reach as many people as possible to help promote the massive Twenty20 campaign, Surrey have made the video available on not only Surrey TV but as many other online avenues as possible.

The first video featured Ramprakash, batting through a tense situation with runs desperately required for Surrey to have a chance in the match. His stunning performance – hitting a six – got his side into a match winning position, but with a single off the following delivery the onus was suddenly placed on his captain, Butcher.
Part two of this story can now be seen on Surrey TV. So if you want to see whether this incredible duo can take their side to victory, click here.
