AMERICAN REACT TO UNPLAYABLE DELIVERIES IN TEST CRICKET | SWING, SPIN, AND SEAM || REAL FANS SPORTS

[@tonyneal4716]

For the two of you who haven't grown up with cricket, you're very insightful.

[@manny1402]

For the glove thing the glove that is touching the bat is considered to be the extension of the bat so if it hits the gloves and its caught its out if it hits the forearm that's not out and if the glove is not in contact with the bat its not out.

[@RealFansSports]

Okay, we got you thank you for that. Hope you enjoy the video and Zach is live now watching some Big Bash League too. kzbin.infosnQ8z7tCZ1c?feature=share

[@nathankawonza3529]

On the last delivery by Shane Warne in the video, the pitch also plays a role in the ball changing direction once it hits the pitch. In a test match on days 4-5 the pitch starts to have cracks from the sun & being run on so spin bowlers come to the fore. What Warne did with that delivery was to pitch it into those cracks & depending on how the ball hits those cracks it’s likely to create uncertainty to the batter. So in a nutshell that delivery was a combination of Warne’s bowling skill & the pitch.

I don't know if you've seen Lillee and Thomson, but they were an insane one-two punch Australia had in the 70s and early 80s. They were so good that someone in England coined the phrase, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust... if Thommo don't get you, then Lillee must". That's how devastating they were against England in the day. And this was when batting helmets weren't in Test Cricket for the first half of their careers.

[@siryogiwan]

pretty sure they did watch something on Jeff Thompson

[@rohanmarkjay]

When you think about it its a miracle that nobody got killed or seriosly injured facing Lillee and Thompson. I think you have to give those 1970s English batsman and indeed opposition batsman from other countries great credit for facing Lillee and Thompson. That its a testament to their bravery, great skill in batting to avoid getting hit on the body bad. They either ducked and weaved skillfully like a Fencer or used the bat the hook and pull especially to combat Lillee and Thompson without getting hit and ending up in hospital ER department. Its miracle really you need genuine bravery to face Lillee Thompson or West Indies pace quartet. 1970s if you were an international batsman would wish you skipped that decade and chose another safer sport LOL then face those guys.

Excellent stuff! And yes, it'll be the same Rabada. BTW, if you want to see a fast bowler with an odd action that almost looks like a throw, check out Lasith Malinga!

Curtly Ambrose was a 6'7'' West Indian who took 405 test wickets. He was known for making the ball bounce much higher than normal due to the enormous height he released it from.

Please read about reverse swing. Some of this were using this method. The ball swings towards the shinier side. The entire team has to take care of the ball and use natural lubrication like sweat and spit to shine one side. Works more and rough pitches where one side gets roughed up sooner. It’s an aerodynamic phenomenon

[@adamparker9765]

Or cough lollies like England used or sand paper like Australia used . The thing is England got away with it for years . Reverse swing my ass.

[@میردانش-ش1ط]

That Simon Jones delivery is what is called "reverse swing" in cricket terminology. Basically the ball is bowled the same way as an outswing delivery, in this case, would have been bowled but instead of going out the ball swings in. This is due to the ball being rough on one half and shiny on the other, done deliberately, to achieve reverse swing.

For the glove question. 1. It has to it the hand that is touching the bat handle. In th video, if the ball touched the gloves that were not holding onto the bat, then that's not out. 2. The gloves plus the strap on the gloves. So, each glove has a wrist band attached to them. If it hits the wrist component of the glove, then it's out

[@thisnametaken3735]

The pitch that looked wet was one that was so heavily rolled, and with zero grass left on it that it was reflective. Kind of like a patch of polished concrete can look like it's wet. Prepared that way to give the fast bowlers the best advantage possible. A first day cricket pitch will usually have a faint green tinge to it so that it will last better and not turn dangerous.

The only time they take a break for rain is when it gets too dangerous for the bowlers on there run up or it gets too dark with the storm and they stop it due to bad light

For the "ball of the century", the movement that Zach observed through the air is what is known as drift when spinners are bowling. And as for noise, I can tell you from playing cricket for many years myself that when someone is bowling at either high pace or putting a lot of revs on the ball when spinning it, you hear a fizzing or fluttering noise as the seam of the ball cuts the air.

you were spot on with Clarke dismissal where he tried to leave the ball,, when you look closer the shining side was towards the batsmen and it jagged back in , it was a reverse swing ,,

[@DavidUKesb]

Good knowledge fellas.....coming along nicely.

[@turboprickle]

The Simon Jones wicket was a good example of reverse swing when the ball gets older. The shiny side of the ball is facing the batsman and the seam is facing away. Everything about that delivery tells the batsman that the ball is going to swing away from him. But a quirk of reverse swing as the ball gets older is that when the bowler grips the ball as if he's bowling an out-swinger the ball "reverses" and swings into the batsman. This only happens when the cricket ball gets a bit older. That's why the batsman was deceived.

[@newremote]

In earlier days the players did go off the field for rain. The difference is that the pitches weren’t covered as they are now, so they got sticky and took longer to dry out. Anyway, the pitch you thought was wet, was actually heavily rolled to the point of having a sheen in parts.

[@myke49]

Great to see you gents watching cricket. In time gone by, every summer we would sit glued to the black and white TV every summer.

[@MrDredd1966]

Mitchell Johnson at his best was almost unplayable and dangerous!!

[@mattybob12310]

"Seamers" make the ball move erratically when it bounces by the Seam of the ball digging in to the pitch, or not. "Swing Bowlers" make the ball move in the air by vigorously shining one side of the ball on their Trousers/shirt, this makes one side of the ball more aerodynamic so it curves (swings) through the air. As an Englishman, I spent many Mornings of my life watching Jimmy "The King of Swing" Anderson (Swing Bowler) and Stuart "Broady" Broad (Seamer) absolutely dismantling teams together, steaming in from opposite ends. If you reeeeally want to see how much passion this sport can evoke, I'd highly recommend watching the next Ashes Series (next one starts November in Australia), one of the oldest sporting rivalries in the world!

[@aronora4636]

2:42 is one of the greatest setting up of the batsman for a wicket. You guys should checkout 'Psychology of Cricket Flintoff vs Kallis' to understand how this bowled was orchestrated.

[@Faranzo14]

That delivery by Simon Jones that was left by Michael Clarke had elements of reverse swing to it. Clarke is was looking for away swing because he saw the shiny side of the ball positioned closer to him. With normal swing the ball moves away from the shiny side. But once the ball starts to reverse swing it moves towards the shiny side and away from the rough side. Which is how the ball moved towards the stumps and bowled him. And why he left the ball and didn’t offer a shot.

16:20 That's Waqar Younis... The Ground was not slippery, the batsmen were always afraid that he was going to crush their toes. Waqar is also known as the one and only "Toe-Crusher"...

[@rocketrabble6737]

The law was modified some years ago that a batsman can be caught off the glove. Previously, we had to try to distinguish if it was hand or wrist? Gloves started to get longer wristbands to confuse the issue, so the wording was charged from "hand" to "glove."

[@GeshmanXD]

17:40 lemme break this Warne delivery down. Warne puts revs on the ball towards the off side. The plane that is the seam of the ball is in is tilted slightly forwards and slightly towards the right - in relation to a horizontal plane parallel to the ground. Because of this release and the sheer amount of revs Warne has put on the ball, the ball 'drifts' towards the leg side much like how a football (soccer) player applying curve to a shot or free kick. Once the ball pitches on the ground the seam grips the surface of the pitch and all that rotational energy redirects the ball back to the offside.

[@BobWobbles]

You've picked up some of the terminology, 'chin music', well done. The characteristic sound that is made when the ball hits the stumps is called the "death rattle".

[@mikeniemand9368]

Guys at 4.04. It's swinging in. Look at the ball, they shine one side of it and leave the other side scuffed. This causes the air to move past it at slightly different rates causing it to swing inwards. Reverse which side the smooth face is and it will swing outwards.

[@jsegal8385]

If you check out Curtly Ambrose you also have to check out Viv Richards as well. The time between Richards debut and Curtly bowing out was the West Indies team at their best.

[@stue2298]

With spin bowlers deliveries moving in the air is not breaking physics but a great example of physics. The same phenomenon is the same physical princple that makes a curve ball in baseball, how that moves sideways in the air. But when the spinning ball hits the ground that same sideways spin propels the ball in the opposite direction to the movement in air. The Cricketing terminology for this sideways movement spinners get in the air is called 'Drift'.

[@christopherstanley9997]

in regard to your comment about the hand, the hand/glove is only considered part of the bat if the hand is in contact with the bat at the time the ball is striking the hand, and the hand is classed as any part of the glove up to the top of the strap so if the ball makes contact with any part of the glove that is in contact with the bat, it is considered a hit on the bat.

[@babarali4158]

They used to take breaks back in the day. But that bowler is waqar younas. He was known for his yorkers. Also known as the toe crusher

[@hs32245]

Waqar Younis… this was the 90s. They took breaks for rain most def. He fell over not because he slipped, but because of the toe crusher by waqar.

[@PBMS123]

LBW requires certain things to be adjudged, first if the ball bounces it has to be pitched (bounce) in line with the wicket (draw an imaginary box the width of the wickets, all the way down the pitch) OR outside off stump (the bat side, not the leg side) then the impact with the leg or body has to be in line with the wicket, thats why a batter will stick their leg out outside off i.e. to the side as it cant be lbw if it hit there.

[@Shad0w5carab]

The irony about you guys saying Krejza’s ball following Warne’s made it not as impressive is that when Warne retired Australia spent the next 4-5 years desperately trying to find someone to replace him in the test team. We debuted spinner after spinner trying to fill the massive void Warne left and while some initially did well it wasn’t until we found Nathan Lyon that we settled on a new spinner. Krejza was one of the first that was brought in to try to replace Warne and he only lasted 2 test matches.

[@Rassskle]

Players slip because they wear spikes for grip, but sometimes the prepared wicket, mud, is so hard the spikes don't penetrate the surface. Many players now wear flatter screw in stops, especially for batting, because the spikes can get you out , stumped. No worse feeling for a batsman than being out of your ground but you cant slide a foot back in because a spike is stuck in the dried mud. lol

[@WaDarkPhoenix]

"You're putting your leg forward, so you're gonne get LBW'd anyway" - Actually, less accurate than you'd think, especially with these big strides forward, batsman get more of a benefit of the doubt because if it's anywhere but at the bottom of the pads, the umpire will be thinking it's going over. Also the ball needs to tick certain boxes - legal ball, no bat involved, pitching outside off (or in line), striking in line with the wickets (or outside the line of off stump if no stroke is offered), and would go on to hit the wickets. There's actually strategies against certain bowlers (especially spinners) to "pad away" balls rather than swinging and risking an edge.

[@Mrpradeepnain]

I would also like to appreciate the camera work in cricket now a days, in my openion, no other sports require this many different angles on each delivery. No balls and run outs, stumping, boundaries, edges, sound tracker, speedo meter, LBWs, ball tracking etc. We also had heat sensing tech to check on edges back in days but stopped because of 'vesaline scandle'. Specially the first camera that follows the bowler till it lands i keeper's hands. This game never stops amazing you!

[@handsolo1209]

They have always taken breaks for rain. I think what you are confusing it with is that for the last 40 years or so, they put covers on the pitch when the game is not being played to protect it, but in Bradman's era, the pitches were never covered, so they could baked by the sun, rained on, etc. The old pitches were much more difficult to bat on.

[@vamsiprashanth3829]

16:15 - No, they always took breaks during rain. What you're thinking pf is uncovered pitches.

The wicket of Simon Jones, if he doesn't play a shot and the ball hits his pad outside off, he can be given out if it is determined the ball was going to hit but if he does offer a shot and the ball hits him outside off he can't be given out, so yeah either way he was doomed for not playing a shot.

[@amitpatilamit]

3:32 No, batsman is keeping his leg just "outside off" to the line, so in case if ball comes in, it hits outside the line and he won't be given out. However, a little miscalculation of expected swing causes loss of wicket. Which is why batsman should try this only when he has got hold of how the ball and pitch is behaving.

[@vincentnoutso4473]

Outside-off won’t save you if you don’t offer a shot though (shouldering arms as the batsman does here).

[@saitejan]

at 4:10 its called reverse swing, when the ball is new, it moves along the rough side of the ball(conventional swing) but it when the ball is old,it moves along the shiny side of the ball(reverse swing).this ball is having its rough side facing outside,so the ball would normally leave the batsman,thtas why the batsamn thoight it would leave him and therefore shouldered arms.But the ball reverse swung and darted in along the shiny side and bowled him....reverse swing is usually achieved only be masters of swing bowling..eg Dale steyn ,bumrah,mitchell starc etc ..here you see simon jones doing it..but the best exponents of reverse swing(and conventional swing) were wasim akram and waqar younis from pakistan.

[@kimn9802]

Not in black and white and definitely no water on the pitch. It wasn't that long ago. The video is just low resolution and degraded VCR tape, probably taped off the tv. They didn't play in the rain in Bradman's day, they just didn't cover the pitch or the infield to stop them getting wet. It made pitches really difficult to play on. The extra moisture would help the ball to move around/bounce unpredictably, sometimes dangerously, would soften/rough up the pitch when bowlers ran on it, thus helping spin bowlers to get more grip and turn. It also made it harder for bowlers to have a safe run up because wear/footmark holes would be created and players could twist ankles/fall over when bowling.

They did stop for rain. What you may be thinking about is they did not cover the pitches when it rained.

It will not be lbw at 3:33 since the batter steps wide of the wicket. So when the ball hits the pads the impact will be outside the line of the wicket and hence not lbw.

Manny already answered what I was going to say. I just want to add one more thing to that. Conversely, any part of the body can be included in an lbw decision except the gloved part of the hand

4:00 - Simon Jones bowled reverse swing here. The seam is pointing away and the smooth side is towards the batsman. The ball swings (moves in the air) into the batsman as it slows to the optimal pace for swing. When ball wears excessively it starts to do this, and can go from no swing to swing in just a few deliveries as the point at which the wear is just right occurs. Normal swing with the position of the seam, would have the ball moving away from the batsman. I didn't see any movement off the pitch in this delivery - it looks like just reverse swing to me. If you want I can give a full explanation and commentary to all of the deliveries - the physics, the psychology, the rules, etc. Then again naivety makes for better videos.

Drift in the air and spin of the pitch 😮 shane warne cricket world miss you 😢

[@carloslovell1470]

Nice video guys. I’m sure you have been told that the greatest and most fearsome fast bowling quartet in the history of the game were from the West Indies. Any takers?

[@orwellboy1958]

As others have said, I'm impressed with your knowledge of the game.

The "ball of the century" bowl, was bowled in the 20th century. The other bowls were bowled in the 21st century, and as we are only in the first quarter of this century, it is way to early to start dubbing anything as "the ball of this century". That is really the only peculiarity of Shane's first ball in England. It was bowled at a time when a whole centuries worth of cricket was able to be judged against it.

The clip that you thought was black and white was just a really poor quality video from the 1990s. The bowler was Waqar Younis.

As was the previous ball... in colour!
