American REACTS to "Cricket Explained for Baseball Fans"

[@martinbynion1589]

You do NOT "THROW" the ball in cricket, you "bowl" it, where the bowling arm must be straight, which is why fast bowlers have such long runups to gain speed of delivery. If you throw the ball (while bowling) as in baseball, you will be no-balled and if you persist you will be ejected from the match and, soon, the whole sport.

To clarify, fielders can throw the ball. Bowlers must bowl only.

No, both batsmen can score. If they run one run (or three runs), the player who was not facing the bowling will now be facing the bowling. At the end of the over (series of six legal deliveries), a different bowler will start the bowling from the opposite end of the pitch, so if on the last ball of the preceding over, a dot ball (no run), 2, 4 ,6 or wicket occurred, the other batsman will be facing the bowling at the start of the next over. Yes, you are still out if only one bail is dislodged. Here are some direct hit run outs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ7Mh4qFbMaVbpo When watching these, remember that some part of the batsman (including the bat) must be grounded beyond (i.e. on the wicket side of) the crease (the transverse white line in front of the wicket) when the ball causes the bail to be dislodged if the batsman is to be given not out ("safe" in baseball parlance). First class cricket is not restricted to first class people. Some of the biggest bogans (rednecks) play and watch cricket. At a test match, you will have captains of industry in the members stand and blokes with no shirt and hollowed out watermelons on their heads in the general admission area. No 0 for 24 is not bad bowling. The best bowlers in the world have an average (runs/wickets) in the 20s . How far back can you start when you bowl? As far as you like, within the field of play. Most fast bowlers will have a run up of 20-30 m but a spin (slow) bowler will only take a few steps. The run up gives velocity to the ball that adds to the speed imparted by the bowling action.

As a cricket fan, I'm enjoying your attempts to understand the game. And as an Aussie, this game is a big part of our culture - we grow up playing as kids in the schoolyard, on a beach, in the backyard, in a quiet suburban street etc. The most important series for us is The Ashes, which has been played against England since 1882. It's a fun story of how the series got the name 'The Ashes'. (I don't know if there's a good vid explaining it.) Also, I'd encourage you to look up Australian Rules Football, if you're interested in reacting to and learning about another non-US sport. It is NOT rugby, a very common American misconception, but a completely different, homegrown game played on cricket grounds during the winter, and technically the most popular sport in Australia. A good place to start would be a couple of the official 'What is AFL?' vids (AFL stands for Australian Football League). Cheers!

Thoroughly agree about AFL. Back in the 80s, Channel 4 TV in the UK used to show weekly highlights. It was a Sunday ritual to see who Hawthorn had given a kicking to that week. Other sports worth a look (and you might have done so already) Rugby, Hurling, Pelota.

The most glaring difference between Cricket and Baseball is that in Cricket the ball being used is only ever changed under very specific conditions and it is not uncommon for the same ball to be used throughout a team's innings (or at least up to 80 overs into that innings). The point being that the wear and tear on the ball along with the wear and tear on the pitch is an integral part of the game with different styles of bowling suiting different stages of wear on the ball. Baseballs of course are changed frequently for new ones. As part of this when the cricket ball is hit into the crowd they will always throw it back to be continued to be used rather than keeping it. Just as an aside if a Cricket ball is replaced at any time (other than after 80 overs) it is not replaced with a new ball, it is replaced with a ball of similar wear from a stock kept at every ground of worn balls.

To be bowled out, just one bail needs to be off. And it does happen. It also happens that the stumps are hit and it doesnt come off, then its not out.

@@Chaddington98 There are grooves on top of each stump for them to sit in. The bails sometimes blow off if its really windy, but they has no consequence to the batter, the umpire just places them back in top.

@@stuarthancock571An interesting side note here: if the bails have been dislodged accidentally (wind blown or otherwise knocked off) or if the umpires consider that it’s too windy for the bails to stay on (has happened), then if while the bails are off the fielding side wants to take a wicket (get a batter out) then they must properly “break the wicket” by knocking over at least one of the stumps, this being done in the usual way directly with the ball or with a hand carrying the ball. Just touching a stump with the ball (or hand holding the ball) is insufficient.

[@Duhallower]

​@@DeepThought9999 And if both bails came off say by an attempted run out, there's overthrows so the batters head off for a further run, and the fielding team get a second chance at a run out (but bails are still scattered about on the ground - you can technically replace the bails while the ball is still in play, but time is obviously a factor!) they have to remove a stump from the ground (using the same hand holding the ball) to get the batter out.

[@Me-bq4pd]

To answer your question about 0 - 24 Broad. This does not state how many "overs" Broad has already bowled. Usually the basis for determining whether or not a bowler has been miserly (hard to score off) or expensive, would be - divide the number of runs by the number of overs. The lower the number the better the bowler has been, it is even better if the bowler has taken wickets. In this case you would divide the number of runs by the number of wickets to get the "average". EG: Joe Bloggs has taken 6 wickets but has had 87 runs taken off his bowling this translates to an average of a wicket every 14.5 runs. This would be considered a great average.

[@studley2436]

They didn't mention that at the end of the over the new bowler bowls from the other end. Sometimes one end can be better than the other for either side and this evens that out. The whole point of having two batsmen is that whichever end the bowling is from there will be a batsman there to face the bowling.

[@afs5609]

Something that was missed, at the completion of an over, the new bowler, bowls from the opposite end of the pitch, & note the batsmen do not change ends when this occurs, meaning each batsman takes a turn facing a bowler, for example if in the previous over the batsman on strike fails to get a run, he remains in that position & the other batsman is now on strike.

[@haseenah2923]

This is such a key piece of information omitted in the video.

[@katea6885]

Throws it mid-dive from side on, which makes the wicket target so narrow that he really only has an inch-wide target. At the end of a day's bowling in an Australian summer with only one stump visible... Just pure gold. Such is the brilliance of Australian Captain Pat Cummins.

[@agoulding1966]

The length of the bowler’s run-up varies by individual and by type of bowler. Fast bowlers have longer run-ups and theoretically there is no limit, but there is a thing called over rates and longer run-ups will mean a slower over rate and the bowling side can be penalised for that. Slow/spin bowlers generally only take a few paces before they bowl, on the other hand.

[@stanroach2842]

Actually, there is a limit......it's the boundary. Can't start their run up from outside the boundary.

[@leehallam9365]

The batsmen change ends if they run an odd number of runs, and that swaps which one is facing. But also every six balls, the bowler changes and a new bowler bowls from the other end, to whichever batsmen is at the other end. So who is batting keeps changing. The two batsmen are said to have a partnership and big partnerships are very important in building a score.

[@johnthring3437]

Run up is chosen by any bowler .Fast bowlers go further back while spin bowlers stand closer

[@jennifercampbell7698]

The bowler can start their run up from as far as the boundary if they wish.

[@sharonmartin4036]

@@jennifercampbell7698 What usually curbs the length of a run up is the time factor. Teams can be penalised for time-wasting if they do not bowl a certain number of overs per hour. I think the minimum in test cricket is 15 overs per hour. Many teams will make use of more than one 'spinner' in order to make up for time because their bowling frequency is higher than seam bowlers. Broad 0-24 simply means that the bowler has had 24 runs scored against him without taking a wicket. He could have done this is in 6 balls or 27 balls or 100 balls bowled.

15:00 the bowler in that clip is Stuart Broad, he was one of the best pace bowlers of his generation. In his career he gave up 16,719 runs and took 604 wickets for an average of 27.68 runs per wicket so 0-24 is right on track for him. He is also bowling to one of the greatest batsman of his generation Virat Kohli. Kohli would go on to score 149 in the first innings and Broad wouldn't collect any wickets while surrendering 40 runs. England won the match by 31 runs

[@mwwoggy]

Good to see another potential fan in the making. A few points and answers to your questions: I don't know of any particular videos, but for the "throws" you're looking for check out videos of "Run Outs", that's what they're called. Each over is bowled from a particular end of the pitch and then the following over is bowled from the opposite end by a different bowler (in 50 over games, a max of 10 overs per bowler). Whichever batsman is at the end being bowled to is on strike for that ball, meaning that both batsmen are able to score, however, it's only the batsman on strike that gets the score attributed to him (ie: if they run 2 runs, both runs will be given to the batsman that hit the ball). A Bowler can make his runup as long as he likes. General rule of thumb is that fast bowlers take a longer runup than bowlers who impart spin on the ball and can make it turn when it hits the ground (see Shane Warne videos for that kinda magic). It's not "easy" to take a wicket. So 0-24 can be the norm, it also depends on how the pitch is behaving, sometimes you get what's called a Batsman's wicket where the fielding team may as well be bowling a beach ball because the surface of the pitch may slow the ball down or make it "pop up" so that it is easier to hit. The opposite is also true: you can also have a pitch that caters to the bowling attack with maybe a little less grass on it to make balls zip by like bullets. Also a side-note: if a bowler bowls someone out, or if the batsman is caught out, or if LBW is given the bowler gets the credit for the wicket. If a batsman is run out, the credit goes to the fielder, and if stumped, the credit goes to the Wicket Keeper. Hope to see more reactions to cricket from you.

[@Chaddington98]

Thank you so much!

[@distortedsoul27]

With LBW, basically, for it to be considered to be hitting the stumps, the ball has to hit the batter 'in line' with the stumps. Since there's a set of stumps at either end of the pitch, imagine the 'in line' area to be from one set of stumps to the other, with the boundary of it being on the outside stumps at either end. However, if a batter chooses not to play a shot and it hits them, then the 'hitting in line' law is not necessary. The umpire then simply deems if the ball was going to hit the stumps or not.

[@jayk3156]

There is no limit to how long the run up the bowlers can take. They can start as far back as they want as long as they are inside the ground. But running long means you're spending more energy

[@guyfaux3978]

So, you need a minimum of two bowlers since a bowler can't bowl consecutive overs, but often enough you have six players of the eleven on the field who will bowl. Usually four are specialists who suck at batting, and two are "all-rounders," who are either half-assed bowlers who can hit fairly well, or half-assed batsman who can bowl fairly well.

[@DeepThought9999]

Or there are some who are equally brilliant at both batting and bowling. Sobers? Botham? Just two off the top of my head that I have seen.

[@brianwilson49]

important info in relation to overs missed by this presentation is that when an over is finished, the fiedling team will swap ends to deliver the next over i.e. the wicket keeper will take up postion at the other end of the pitch, the new bowler will deliver the over from the other end, the fielders need to swap ends too etc etc. however, the batters will remain where they are. This means that batter A will face the final ball of the current over and if they do not run, he will then be at the bowlers end for the next over and batter B will be facing the new bowler. it's simpler than it sounds lol

[@andrewhazlewood4569]

Also there are two umpires. One stands by the stumps where the bowler is bowling from. The other stands at square leg (behind the back of the batsman as he faces up side on to the bowler - about 20 to 30 metres back). So one umpire has a front on view of play and the other has a side on view. Because the fielding team bowls each over from alternating ends it means one umpire is the main umpire from one end of the pitch and the other umpire is the main umpire on the alternating overs from the other end of the pitch.

[@gnomevoyeur]

If you think the two batters running back and forth are wild, you should see it on the somewhat rare occasions when there is a "runner". If a batter suffers an injury during his innings, they will sometimes call in the equivalent of a baseball pinch runner, but the original batter keeps doing the hitting. The runner typically stands out near the umpire at square leg because running is between two lines that extend out infinitely rather than specific bases. The umpires have to follow all three and it could be a lot. If the injured batter forgets what is happening and hobbles off towards the other end, he can be run out, even if his runner is safely within the crease.

[@sharonmartin4036]

The laws of cricket changed a number of years ago, and a "runner" is no longer allowed. If a batsman is injured he has to either bat on regardless of his injury if he can, or he must leave the field as "retired/injured". If he is unable to recover and return to bat later on in the innings it is just his team's bad luck.

[@DeepThought9999]

@@sharonmartin4036Nowhere near as much fun to watch as when runners were involved!

[@colinmorrison5119]

Runners usually caused chaos, but the rule change was most likely because of the risk of collisions. It has been known for batsmen to run into each other, usually because they're avoiding a fielder or the ball and not watching where they're going.

[@Obi-J]

Regarding the 2 batters, if the batsman at the "crease" scores a "single" or odd/uneven number of runs, then the other batsman will then be facing the bowlers next ball, unless it's the final ball of the over. In which case the batsman who scored the runs will now be facing a different bowler who is now bowling from the opposite end(direction) from the previous over.

[@tonym7012]

The bails are analogous to the net in basketball. Without the net you may not know whether the ball has passed through the hoop. The bails coming off proves that the wicket has been hit. One bail coming of is sufficient and does happen occasionally. Also on occasion, although rarely, the bowler bowls a ball that hits the wicket but does not dislodge the bails. In that case the batter is not out because the proof is not present.

[@BoldRam]

Run ups can be as long as the bowler wants. Fast bowlers usually have a longer run-up to get speed and rhythm whereas a 'spin' bowler will only take a couple of steps. One thing to understand is that teams have to bowl an average of about 15 overs per hour over so if they have all fast bowlers with long run-ups then they will take longer to complete an over so may risk getting the team fined or deducted overs available to them to bat when it's their turn. It is a gray area as the unpires decide if other things have slowed play down before applying fines/deductions etc.

[@mithrasrevisited4873]

Remember the catches are bare handed. Also no balls means the other team get a run but the bowler has to bowl that ball again. You need to watch a match now to get the idea and how batsmen change positions as they run and the change of over to bowl from the other end of the pitch. One bail removed is an out as well, both do not have to be removed. If a bail is hit but stays in place up is lifted then falls back it is not out.

[@nairarabila720]

No gloves except for the wicket keeper who stands behind the stumps!

Cricket is like playing Chess … and beginning your journey in Cricket by watching Test Cricket it is no wonder you were initially confused by everyone being in white. Test Cricket (5 day event) everyone wears white with every player except the two batsmen being on the fielding side. When a batsman goes OUT, then a new batsman for the batting side comes onto the ground . When 10 of the 11 batsmen are deemed OUT, OR the Captain of the batting side decides they have a large enough score that he can call his team off the field, the other side goes in to bat for their innings. I will not even go into what happens if play is interrupted and time is lost by rain during a game and the Duckworth Lewis Stern formula for calculation of runs required by a chasing team … if you watch a game and that comes into play, just accept that the experts have done their calculations and roll with it. Each bowler for the fielding team has an OVER of 6 balls before the bowler changes. Bowlers bowl alternately from both ends of the pitch, so a batsman can be facing a different bowler every six balls (Over) and conversely, if a batsman only makes one run, the bowler can face a different batsman during an Over, The Captain of the fielding team usually confers with the bowler to decide where to place the fielders depending on: 1) the type of ball the bowler is going to bowl (spin, fast, Googly, Yorker, wide etc), 2) whether the batsman is a right handed or left handed batsman 3) their style of batting and 4) the state of the pitch which does deteriorate over the 5 days from the ball strikes, batters grounding their bats and general use by the batsmen. Also, the teams are very aware of the style of each batsman and they play to their weaknesses for certain shots. Example, a particular batsman steps forward out of their crease to attack the ball and is prone to be stumped by the Keeper if the ball gets through his defence. It is a very, very, strategic game and every player is selected for a team because of their expertise in batting, bowling and fielding. You will think a bowler is pitching up easy balls to a batsman who will make a grand sweeping stroke at the ball and then you will see that the fielding team have placed a man in the outfield expecting just that batting stroke in that area … caught OUT.

@ and that is only scratching the surface, there are so many other facets and rules to the game but the one beginners need to understand is the “bowler’s arm action” with the angle of the arm when delivering the ball. If the arm bends past 15 degrees when bowling the ball it is a NO BALL and there are bowlers who have had to leave the Sport because they are seen as “throwing” the ball. Also, attention is paid by the umpires to the bowlers having one foot behind the crease line when the ball leaves the bowlers hand and the line of the ball as it reaches the batsman because of the LBW rules which can confuse beginners.

On key point omitted: After every six balls that make an over, the bowling switches to the other end of the pitch, say from the south to the north, and a new person on the fielding side must bowl. The batsman who is at the southern end of the pitch has to face the new bowler. Likewise, if a run is scored in the middle of an over, the batsman who has crossed over will have to face the bowling.

[@largechips]

Just a "few" things. From an Australian Cricket Fan. It doesn't matter how many stumps the ball hits, if the stumps are broken, or the bails are sent flying, it's out. Even if the ball misses and you accidentally swing so hard that you go full 360 and destroy the stumps with your bat, it's out. You can also get out for obstructing the field, hitting the ball twice then running, handling the ball with your hands when the ball is in play, completely forgetting to turn up to the crease within 90 seconds of the last wicket (this happened in the 2023 ODI World cup), getting injured technically could be seen as a wicket, but it doesn't count on the scoreboard, it just means your team is one batter short. Every team gets Three reviews in test cricket, if you get out, you can challenge the call, if you win your review you keep it, if you lose your review, do not. There are 11 Batters on each team, but once you get 10 out, that ends the inning, since you need at least two batters on the pitch. In Test Cricket, if your team feels they have enough runs to win, they can voluntarily end their innings early to save time for bowling the others out, this is called a Declaration. You can also lose a test by failing to set a target for the fourth inning (Basically lets say you in the first inning you score 100, they score 300, meaning you need to score at least 200 to force a fourth inning, if you get bowled out for say 199 in your next inning, you lose by an innings and 1 run. It's basically cricket's mercy rule.) Also if a game is delayed by rain, they don't continue where they left off, instead a complex mathematical formula is used to decide the winner if enough of the game has already been played, or revise the target depending on how many overs have been lost to the rain. In Test cricket there are three sessions in a day. The first session ends with a 30 minute lunch break, the second session ends with a 30 minute tea break, the final session ends with "stumps" which basically means "go to bed, see you tomorrow" There are five days in a test match, but matches usually don't make it through all five days. There are three world cups. One for each format. The ODI Cricket World Cup is the most important world cup, that's the one everyone wants to win, even though ODI's are like the middle child of cricket, Their world cup is still the most important trophy in cricket because of history. The T20 World Cup is the lesser world cup. Ironically it does a better job of being a "WORLD" cup than the Actual world cup because more teams are involved, but T20's are the least important format, yet they are the most popular format. The World Test Championship is an ongoing League that decides the champion of Test Cricket. It's the newest ICC Event, but it's already surpassed the T20 World Cup in terms of Importance, since Test Cricket is the most Important format. It's more of a League than a World Cup but it's still crowns a world champion for test cricket. Basically a just a single match that decides the world test champion, sort of like the college football national championship before the playoff. Also here's how many trophies each team has: Australia (6 World Cups, 1 T20 World Cup {We inexplicably suck at T20 because nobody here cares about it, and yet we somehow won one and still nobody cared.}, 1 WTC Title) India (2 World Cups, 2 T20 World Cups, 0 WTC Titles despite making the final twice) England (1 World Cup, 2 T20 World Cups) West Indies (Basically the Caribbean) (2 World Cups, 2 T20 World Cups) Sri Lanka (1 World Cup, 1 T20 World Cup) Pakistan (1 World Cup, 1 T20 World Cup) New Zealand (1 WTC somehow.) South Africa, Zimbabwe, Ireland and Afghanistan are yet to win a trophy that matters. No, I am not counting the Champions Trophy/Knockout Trophy or the Asia Cup. Welcome to Cricket! Enjoy being completely overwhelmed by a bizarre mix of tradition, chaos and political incompetence that give FIFA a run for it's money!

[@NonsenseSmiter]

Hey man. Thanks for checking out this game. It’s my favourite (I grew up with it) and I think the thing that sets it aside from other sports is that it can be highly strategic. All sports are tactical do varying degrees but cricket allows tactics to become part of a bigger strategy within the game. Certainly with the format of first class and test cricket. It’s probably going to be tough for someone new to sit through 5 days of one game though as a lot of it can be attritional. My German partner certainly seems to think so😅. The direct hit runouts you’re interested in from deep in the field are pretty rare. These are usually gathered by smoke standing at the stumps and they take the bails off. If you look at “Derect Hit! Some of the best run-outs in recent years” you see a couple. Some of the best highlight packages involve catching and bowling out batters. Look at Shane Warne highlights for the best spin bowling. Yes, there’s different types of bowling as well 😅

[@DG-pk4hj]

When the batsmen complete a run by switching sides, the other batter now takes "strike" and will be hitting the next ball that gets bowled. This keeps happening until one of them get out and then a new batter will arrive to carry the innings forward. Also, here's a clear and great video of those direct hits you wanted - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ7Mh4qFbMaVbpo

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

5:00 The two batters: if they run one run, they'll have swapped ends, so the other batter faces the next delivery. Also, consecutive overs are bowled from opposite ends of the pitch, so theoretically the two batters will each be bowled to about the same amount. 7:45, yes it still counts as out if only one bail is knocked off. 11:10, there are videos of best run-outs on KZbin :)

[@YobboBear]

"Direct Hit! Some of the best run-outs in recent years" is the video of run-out highlights that you wanted to see.

[@gvigary1]

The run-up isn't limited in length, but obviously running further will wear you out more quickly, and a fast bowler with a long run-up will typically rest for an hour or two after a spell of 5 or 6 overs (30-36 balls). The run-up helps the bowler to get some pace up, but the other major difference is that the ball must be bowled with a straight arm, not thrown with a bent one. These pretty much offset one another, and the fastest bowlers (90+ miles an hour) send the ball down around the speed of a typical MLB fast ball. The bouncing of the ball is a huge difference between the two sports in a number of ways, and means that cricket is probably behind only golf in the importance of ground conditions to the challenge offered. A skillful bowler will vary their pace, line, and release point, use "swing" (movement in flight) somewhat like a curve ball, but also they will use the raised seam round the equator of the ball to make a ball divert off the pitch, or impart sidespin or topspin for even greater variation (though generally at a slower pace). This then interacts with the preparation of the pitch, on which the grass is cut extremely short before play starts, so it's basically mud held together by grass roots. If there is still live grass, or in damp conditions, the pitch will look green, and the ball is likely to move off the seam early on in the game. Conversely, a brown surface in which the grass roots are all dead will break up more and more as the game progresses, which favours spin. If the sun really beats down on a pitch it may even develop cracks which can produce much bigger variation than usual if the bowler is accurate enough to hit them. This development over 5 days is what makes test cricket the pinnacle of the sport - typically, batting tends to be rather tricky on the first morning, the second and third days are best to bat on, then on days 4 and 5 it gets trickier again as the surface crumbles, though changing weather conditions can also have an effect. This makes winning the toss to decide who bats first very important.

[@facexgaming3065]

15:19 it's not 24 times , it's the number of runs he has given to other team

[@sicko_the_ew]

For throwing highlights search for "run outs", and I think you'll get all your heart desires. One point that might not be absolutely clear about the overs: The bowlers (and umpires) change ends for each over. This results in different pitch conditions in alternating overs (where there might be more wear on the pitch on one side or the other). The variation in grounds involves more than just size and shape. At least one international ground in England has a huge oak tree "in one quadrant" - about half way to the boundary. And I think there's a special rule just for that ground that if you hit a ball up into the tree, it counts as a six. The bowler with the long run-up is a fast bowler (up to nearly 100mph occasionally with the very fastest of them - which I think is slow in baseball terms?). There are specialist medium pace bowlers with different tricks (high accuracy being the most important, but they can also swing the ball in the air, due to aerodynamic effects). And then there are spin bowlers (the ones with the very short run-ups, who lob the ball up slowly, with spin, so that when it hits the ground - especially in a rough patch - it can break left, right, or go straight on). The faster the bowler, the easier it is to hit a boundary (normally a four, since going for a six entails a risk of being caught out), so slow and medium paced bowlers can often restrict the batsmens' ability to score runs. In 50 over matches, that can put enough pressure on them to force an error. (But the pressure can also force them to come up with clever ways of grabbing extra runs during the run chase.)

[@toakreon]

Two batters at opposite end of the pitch. The bowler bowls from one end. If the batters run an odd number of runs, the batters have swapped possitions, so the batter who was not facing the bowler is now the one facing the bowler. Also each over is bowled from the opposite end to the previous one. Put these two together, and the batters end up sharing the 'receiving role' between them.

[@lyndsaypacker83]

I love your comment about the umpire having a "good predictive judgment" for LBW - wait til you learn about the ball pitching outside leg stump or hitting outside the line of off stump while playing a shot

[@BradleyTemperley]

Groucho Marx was invited to the Lord’s cricket ground. After an hour of play, a member asked Groucho how he liked the game. “It’s great. When does it start?” :)

[@fuzail760]

1. Bowlers are of different types. FAST - can bowl at >130KPH at the time of release of the bowl. Requires long run up to build momentum. Medium- 115-130kph. Relatively shorter run-ups. Spin- can stand and bowl or just walk a few steps and bowl. Speed ~80-90kph. Revs the ball at time of release so as to allow for it to spin in a particular direction upon impact with the ground. 2. Medium/Fast bowlers can 'swing' the bowl based wrist position at the time of release and/or use the shiny half of the ball to utilize aerodynamics of a shinier smoother side vs the rough side. A new ball is equally shiny but loses shine as it is used more due to rolls on ground, hits on bat and the pitch/ground. So to keep side shinier, they must keep it moist and keep rubbing it with a cloth. 3. The batters/batsmen who are on the pitch, take turns to bat. If they run 1, they cross. If batsman A hit and ran across, next delivery is faced by batsman B who now is standing at the position of A who had just hit the ball and ran to the other side. 4. Also, after a bowler finishes 1 over(6 legal deliveries excluding no-balls or wides), the next bowler begins the over from the other side of pitch. So both bowlers bowl their overs from opposite sides. Which means, if the batsmen stay where they were after the conclusion of the last ball. And the opposite batsman now faces the new bowler.

[@peterlinsley4287]

When an over is finished, the fielding team change ends, and the batsmen stay in place. So the batter who was at the bowlers end (the batter at the bowlers end is called the runner and the batter facing the ball being bowled is the on strike batter) is now on strike, so getting bowled at and the other batter is now the runner. So if one batsman has his eye faster than the other, he will try and get a single run on the last ball to get the strike back.

[@thetek2006]

The best way to learn it is to watch some matches with someone who knows the rules so they can explain what is happening, you'll find it is really quite simple in most ways. A good cricket match is a wonderful spectacle of skill and is a battle of tactics and mentality in batting, bowling and fielding; knowing the weaknesses of your opposition and finding ways to exploit them. For example it may be the case that in bowling deliveries aimed at knocking over a batsman's wicket the batsman can score more easily but if you bowl balls aimed at not allowing the batsman to score runs then he may get frustrated and make a poor shot choice. Equally if a bowler comes on and gets smashed around the ground he may become too cautious in his choices of delivery.

[@nicksykes4575]

There are actually two umpires on the pitch, one is stood behind the wicket at the bowlers end, the other is stood in line with the batsmans wicket, on the off side, when the over finishes and the bowlers change ends, the umpires will swap positions rather than ends.

[@TheKira699]

[@rmsteutonic3686]

When determining if someone’s out by leg before wicket, there is a review system in place should either of the teams captains decide to challenge the umpires decision, called DRS. Regarding your question regarding the run up for bowlers, it depends on the type. Fast bowlers aim to bowl as fast as possible, in excess of 130 kilometres an hour, and they take a big run up. Spinners on the other hand aim to curl the ball around the batter and into the wicket. These guys take less of a run up and bowl often around 80-90km an hour. If you’re interested in spinners, Shane Warne highlights are a good place to start.

[@mort8143]

Thanks mate. Cricket is a fantastic game. Australia has just won the five Test match series against India, which included the Boxing day Test, which is an institution here in our Summer. Some exclaim "five days'? Golf tournaments go for four days, the Tour de France goes for three weeks. A five day Test match isn't extraordinary. There's much strategizing during each days play, as the dynamics of the game change. It's compelling viewing, either on TV, or at whichever ground the match is being played at. Limited overs cricket is faster paced, and can be a One day match of 50 overs each, which is played Internationally, or domestically. We have the BBL, Big Bash League, mid season here at present. Twenty overs each. The batsmen are expected to make as many runs as quickly as they can. It's risky, and they often go out. The games last about 3 hours and are on at night. You know it's Summer in Australia when the cricket's on. Love it. Thanks for the video and your reaction. 🙃🇦🇺👍

First Class is not based on status (money) it is the traditional format. Whereas limited over formats were introduced to address the concerns that test cricket was losing support due to the length play. In saying that Test cricket (white uniforms) is far from dead. In fact, the recently concluded 5 Test series between Australia and India drew a world record for attendances.

[@PFNel]

it's actually disarmingly simple, once you look at it the right way. There are two batters because the bowler is going to attack the same wicket (three sticks) six balls in a row. If the batter scores a run, he runs to the wicket on the opposite end of the pitch and his teammate will also cross over and end up where the run scorer was. So there will always be someone to face the next ball.

Cricket simplified! Batters try to score by hitting the ball into the field away from the fielders. The bowlers are trying to "dismiss" the batters by bowling them out, having them caught, having them LBW (leg before wicket) or stumped (wicket keeper catches them out of the batsman's crease). The bowler and Captain place the fielders in positions that, based on the bowler's deliveries, would restrict the batter from scoring, if not in a catching position. If you check out the different styles of bowling, which there are a few, watch a Shane Warne (leg spinner). This will assist you understand some of the things that bowlers try to do to dismiss batters. Shane was exceptional at aiming for the footmarks of the other bowlers, as the footmarks roughed up the surface which provided "grip" and allowed the ball to spin greatly.

In test cricket, the ball is bowled for 80 overs unless it loses it's shape or becomes too dirty and difficult for the batsmen to see it. The latter is rare but it has happened. If a ball is replaced before the 80 overs the umpires are tasked with choosing a used ball that has been bowled for the same or similar number of overs. This is why cricket balls are kept by the club management and not up for grabs as souvenirs, and why the crowd always throws the ball back onto the field if it is hit into the crowd.

[@philiparonson8315]

Yeah, ball management is a whole nuanced area of the game. A new ball or a worn, dirty ball can be a big deal. In higher level US baseball the ball must be pristine. One can do stuff to a cricket ball that would be against the rules in baseball.

One thing I don't think was covered is that overs are bowled from alternate ends.

First class cricket is not solely for the rich. Anyone can attend a match, from royalty to Joe Bloggs up the street.

[@michaelwebster8389]

Slightly wrong about the target - if the target is 222, then it means the opposing team scored 221. The target is what's required to win, which is at least one run more than t he opposition. As to the batsmen - they swap to face the bowling when they score a run, and each consecutive bowler bowls from the opposite end of the field, so if the batsmen haven't changed ends during the over, the 2nd batsman will face the first ball of the next over.

[@letshaveit2670]

It was a human error only. Target has to be one more than the other team. If you reach the target, you win.

[@CAbbott71]

So ... about the 2 batters. One is "facing" the bowler, and they are the one to hit the ball and try to score runs (points). If they run, and run an odd number of times (up is 1, up and back is 2 ... ) they will be at the opposite end of the wicket. This means that their partner is now facing and gets a chance to score. At the end of an over, the new bowler comes in, but the bowler and wicket keeper swap ends. Because of the end swap for odd runs, or the change of over, both batters will take turns facing and have a chance to score. During a game, you will often see both their individual scores on the board as well as the "partnership" which is how many runs they have scored together. (this is not the sum of their scores, but the number of runs scored with both these players in as a pair). If one of them gets out, a new player comes in to play, at the same end as the player who got out. Since you need a pair of batters at all times, and there are 11 players on a team, after 10 outs, the last player cannot stand alone, and its "all out" (side away for baseball fans). Usually, your strongest and most skillful batters start, with the "tail enders" being specialist bowlers, who are not on the team for their batting prowess. After a series of outs, its common to have one strong batter and one weak batter in play. When this happens you will often see batters to only run an even number of runs, or run just the 1 towards the end of an over (before the change of ends) which keeps the stronger batter "on strike". One last rare occurrence is having 3 batters. Not seen this in a long while, but sometimes a batter will retire hurt during a match. They are not out, but due to an injury, they will leave the field for medical attention, with the next batter coming in. Later in the match, they may choose to return, and if the injury prevents them from running, but not from batting, they may have another batter join them as their "runner". The batter hits the ball, the runner runs them. Technically you could have 2 batters and 2 runners , so 4 players, but I have never seen that.

[@toby9999]

For the highlights you were after (the fielders throwing the ball and hitting the wicket to ‘run out’ the batter, that’s called a ‘direct hit’ and there are a lot of good compilations on KZbin, and I agree that it’s one of the best parts of cricket. The bowler taking 0 wickets and conceding 24 runs is not good, because he hasn’t gotten anyone out, but it’s not at all unusual. The best bowlers take a wicket for every 20-25 runs they concede on average. For interest, the best batters score around 50 runs for every time they get out on average. There’s no real limit to the run-up a bowler can take. The fastest bowlers can bowl over 140 kilometres per hour.

@@Chaddington98yes, best direct hits or run outs you’d be after. Maybe not yet but another thing to put on your list is Shane Warne’s leg spin tutorial. A lot of American reactors gain a huge new appreciation and respect for the nuances of the game after seeing how incredibly complex the art of bowling is. I remember you mentioning in the first video the idea of the ball hitting a little stone on the ground and bouncing in a different direction- after watching Shane Warne’s video, you’ll never use the stone as an example ever again 😂😂

[@amanofiron8252]

One thing that video got wrong is that when the target says 222, that means the first team scored 221. The target for the second team is to beat the first team's score by 1 run. Also, I don't know if there's a KZbin copyright issue or anything, but I don't see a lot of reactors doing reactions to highlights. I would recommend trying to find any recent T20 or ODI highlights that you can, preferably ones that are at least >10 minutes long. I like watching ones that are at least 15-20 minutes long. The main reason is that I'm a lifelong cricket fan and even I find those Australian highlights you watched the other day to be rather terrible - they're edited too fast and they keep showing slow-mo replays randomly etc., it's very confusing. I don't like those at all. Also, as someone else here mentioned, the bowlers alternate which end of the pitch they're bowling from, so one bowler bowls from one end, then the next bowler bowls from the opposite end. So once an over ends, the fielders all have to change positions. The batsmen remain where they are. Finally, just in case it wasn't clear, overs are counted like this: At the beginning, it goes 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1. Then 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 2. And so on.

[@sharonmartin4036]

Cricket highlights are usually 30 minutes or so long, and KZbinrs tend to prefer reacting to subjects/items that are around 20 minutes long, so that with their commentary/reaction, they take up around 30 minutes in total.

Sort of Base-6 numeration as there are 6 legal balls per over. No more, no less. Extra balls (called, wait for it… Extras) can be bowled if a delivery was ruled by an umpire to be a No-Ball, a Wide, a Bye or Leg-Bye as none of these are legal balls.A penalty Run is awarded each time a No-Ball or Wide occurs. Also, sometimes a delivery is ruled to be a Dead Ball and can be treated as if it never happened but this ruling can get complicated, like many others in cricket. See the Laws of Cricket.

[@chrisharris1522]

Another important thing not mentioned is that conditions change over the course of the game, so this plays an important role in tactics. For example the start of the first day of a match the conditions are very much in favor of the bowlers, so the first batters job is mostly to survive and not get out rather than on scoring runs, later in the day when the pitch (the playing surface} has dried out a little and the ball is older, it becomes a lot easier to score runs, conversely on the final day of the match the pitch (playing surface) can have deteriorated so much that it becomes very difficult again for the batters to score and not get out. The best way to learn about cricket is to watch a full match or part of a match (even hardcore fans find it difficult to watch the full 5 days) as the commentators will explain exactly what is going on and what both teams are trying to do tactically, simply watching highlights is not a good way to learn as the non highlight parts of the game are just as important to understand what is happening, for example a bowler might spend several overs trying to lure a particularly stubborn batter into a trap to get him out, this is the most fascinating part of the game to me, sometimes when it seems the least is happening that is when the most is happening if you get what I mean.

Also, when bowlers change after an 'over', they will bowl from the opposite end of the pitch than the previous bowler. An 'over' is the delivery of six legally bowled balls. A bowler cannot bowl two consecutive overs, but can bowl again after another bowler has bowled. In a game of Cricket, a team can use as many bowlers as they need during an innings; an inninings occurs when the batting has lost ten batsmen or if the captain declares the innings. In Limited Overs cricket, the inning is completed when the required number of Overs have been bowled, or the batting team has lost ten batsmen. Hope that clears up some of your questions.

In all probability baseball is based on the children's game of rounders. It is why baseball is such a simple game.

In cricket you need more stamina especially only one chance for batter

Cmon man , I'm an Aussie and I played Top grade cricket, and baseball , and both are hard games , baseball has double plays , sneak bases load them , walk the no 1 batter , cricket , discipline, concentration , know where your off stump is , use your feet watch the ball , it's like hard to hit a golf ball , coz your not got your body behind it's lie , same baseball ,hard to hit a wide full toss that you can't see the amount of swing and cricket ball shyness , but both have great challenges.

@@Ducatirati baseball is a very simple game. I also played top grade baseball and cricket (state rep in both), and baseball is childishly simple

[@Ducatirati]

[@Ducatirati]

@郑颍 Childishly easy , simple , but you state rep , state of wishful thinking , honestestly , I'd love to bowl to you , go at your motor boat , and then york you to first plate , . Ric

Yes, the two batsmen do take turns hitting the ball. They switch every over. And there is no limit to how far back the bowler can run.

Enjoyed watching you learn cricket. I learned by watching my son play when he was in school and watching cricket matches on TV when Australia dominated the sport in the 1990's.

17:54 as far back as you want, although presumably you still have to be on the field lol

[@franciskentish9123]

It should be mentioned that the "NO" can be in different situations. However, the most basic or popular situation is the bowler overstepping the popping crease.

17:02 I like that comparison because like F1, in which country the track is determine team and drive strategy location of the ground in cricket has a big effect on the playing style.

[@sushantbajpai4842]

For watching those highlights... Where guy knocking the wickets other guy trying to reach (RIP English).. search best run outs in Cricket on youtube...

[@KevinPugh-hq8rc]

After 6 balls, an over, another bowler starts the next 'over' from the other end of the wicket. That is, they don't bowl from the same 'end'. Whoever is facing the bowler, that batsman or woman defends their wicket. By the way, the stump to stump distance is 'one chain'.

Both batters potentially could be on the receiving end of being bowled at. If, for example, one run takes place and the batters have exchanged ends, the batter who had been previously standing next to the bowler is now going to be one being bowled at. If you have wondered what the rest of the batting team is doing during all this, they are sitting on the edge of the field watching the game until it's their turn to bat.
