American Reacts to Cricket Moments that Shocked Everyone

[@Dr_KAP]

Shane Warne is a man to check out. One of the best bowlers of all time, Shane was an Aussie test cricketer and quite the celebrity- he was friends with the likes of Elton John, Michael Jordan .. Sadly we lost Shane at the age of 52 just a couple of years ago. RIP.

Cricket came about in the mid-late 1400s, Base-ball a bit after that in the 1600s, both originating in England.

[@johnavery3941]

You are right when throwing from the deep the fielder will normally throw it to the wicketkeeper who should be up at the stumps by then but if the fielder sees a batsman not making a effort to make his ground they will have a pop at the stumps as there is usually another fielder backing up to stop over throw runs.

Joel, there are 3 forms of cricket (Test: 5 days, One Day: 50 overs each side, and T20: a 20 over slog fest) and the rules ( Laws) are slightly different for each and also, the strategy and the psychology of the game is different for each. For me, nothing beats Test cricket.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

I always look at it that a test is like a classical symphony - if you're an aficionado, it's the highest form of the game, full of nuances but boring for the newcomer. An ODI is like a jazz gig, lots going on, still plenty of room to display your chops. A T20 match is like a pop song - fine for a quick thrill but ultimately likely to be forgotten quickly.

[@edwardwoodstock]

[@terrytt5067]

You mean using that BIG SOFT BALL, that Rounders in the USA is called "Softball" As a English kid in Minnesota in the early 1960 I played all the American sports, except Ice hockey and Basketball. We were in both Baseball and American Football Leagues! Had a great time... until we had to go back to reality 3 years later in England. My cultural shock was learning to be English again! I had my American accent for YEARS after and whenever I worked with or am in the company of any Americans, my accent returns. Still, great country, nice people (mainly) good sport. Had a great time, just a shame they CANNOT pronounce, punctuate, spell of speak ENGLISH !! Get your own language, call it "Yankee"

I played cricket a long time ago at school. Still love to watch it either on the telly or on the village green... And of course, the only player with gloves on is the wicketkeeper. You should check out test cricket, limited-overs (an over is 6 balls bowled) cricket (usually 50 overs) and Twenty20 cricket. 3 slight variations of the same game.

[@limpetcarre1139]

In 1611 a cricket match was recorded at Chevening in Kent between teams representing the Downs and the Weald. The earliest known reference to the sport was in 1598 and it was called creckett.

[@anglosaxon5874]

5:37 I think the batsman [next to where the bowler ended up] was given out as he interfered with the ball ['Obstructing the field'] as the bowler could have run the other batsman out as he was so far down the pitch.

[@krisjonesuk]

Cricket is reckoned to be the second-most popular sport in the world (after what you call soccer), mainly because of its huge popularity on the Indian subcontinent. If India and Pakistan are drawn to play against each other then both nations more or less come to a standstill. Cricket’s history in England dates back about 500 years. It’s mainly played in countries that were previous British colonies. I imagine that it would have become popular in the US if it hadn’t been for the American war of Independence. There is some cricket in the US. I did read in the New York Times a few years back that the NYPD had formed a team, mainly as a way of getting to know the American-Asian community. I believe you also have a national team.

[@terrytt5067]

It's good to hear that games from both sides of the "Pond" are slowly filtering into our respective countries. Cricket in the U.S.A. and American football in the U.K. I expect in time both will have substantial leagues in both countries

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

It's very very rare to have cricketers fighting on the pitch. With the umpire blunder at 2:00, cricket now uses a video umpire for poor decisions - each team can ask for review a set number of times during an innings. Baseball was developed from a sport called rounders, which is related to cricket and is usually played in schools in the UK. The US improved on it to make it the sport it is today. BTW, if you want to see some incredible boundary catches and saves, hunt for a video on Trent Boult. Good bowler and exceptional outfielder.

[@alphacrusis2632]

You are right. Long throws from the boundary are usually thrown to either the wicketkeeper at one end or the bowler at the other end but having a shy at the stumps from anywhere on the ground is not uncommon.

[@solreaver83]

To clarify a bowler unlike a pitcher doesn't throw a ball. The laws of cricket dictate a blowers arm must remain straight. Any bend or flex becomes a no ball for throwing.

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

That opening clash would result in serious disciplinary action. Rarely see that. In the long throws batsmen can get lazy when running sometimes. Have a look at Atherton v. Donald Edgbaston 1998 for a box office duel between one of the stubborn, gritty hard-nosed batsmen and one of the greatest fast bowlers.

[@aplund]

Highlights can be a little confusing to understand the flow of the game. I'm not sure if there's any videos out there of a couple of complete overs, but that would be useful to see how the game flows, the interchanging of batter on strike, change of ends, and more importantly, how difficult it is to get a batter out. (Outs are rare, runs are common, opposite to baseball).

Cricket is a lot older than baseball. The earliest 'record' of an organised match is in 1697, but clearly it was already established at that point. There is another very old English game called Rounders, which is still played, that is surely the game from which baseball is derived. It has all the basic features of baseball and it would have been known by many early English settlers in America. It was also included in an 18th century book of games and pastimes that was available there.

[@veilbreak5867]

My dad came away with a broken arm after a game of cricket with the pub team. He wasn't even playing... He was umpire...the ball hit him.

[@aaronmicalowe]

That long throw to hit the wicket was superhuman, because if he missed and it continued on to the boundary, it would have scored 4 runs against his team.

[@julianstephens5361]

You are absolutely correct. Normally the person in the outfield will return the ball to a teammate close to the wicket (wicket is stumps. Stumps are the three sticks in the ground). Also the greatest Shane Warne wickets of all time are astounding. He was a genius recognised around the world as one of the greatest.

[@pprey6599]

First clip, the bowler(aggressive one without the hat), pushed and shoved the batsman he had just dismissed - not on the same team.

@@andrewdavie386 Disgusting that is all he got! Preferential treatment if you ask me. Yes Warner was the instigator, but Smith had the ability to stop it before it started and did nothing. He is just as guilty as the other two and should have had the same punishment.

[@andrewdavie386]

@@sharonmartin4036 although I admire Smith's ability as one of the greatest cricketers ever to play the game, I also feel he was a part of the destruction of the reputation of our country as above cheating. So yes, I would have applied a lifetime ban to them all. However, having said that, you need to put things in context here; just about every country cheated by modifying the condition of the ball. Look at the poms putting saliva from lollies on it, or scuffing it up with dirt in their pockets. Or the pakistan team literally chewing with their teeth, or yet another instance gouging the seam with their fingernails (I forget which country this was). Sandpaper was the height of idiocy, but it was indicative of pressures in cricket to win at all costs and to suggest that Australia alone, or the individuals involved were isolated... is naive. Essentially those other people who were caught were faced with minimal, farcical penalties; in one case I think it was a two match suspension. The aussies faced year-long bans, at least 50x harsher penalty than applied in other countries. So, there's that. Yes, I'm disappointed in Smith, Warner, et. al. But that's the climate they lived in back when that sort of stuff was happing TO them at the hands of other countries. Win at all costs. Well, the cost was high - very high - and they are all tainted for the rest of their lives. Though I may agree with you in that I would have applied a harsher penalty, I would argue against the view they received "preferential treatment". In context, their treatment was EXTREMELY harsh.

[@sharonmartin4036]

@@andrewdavie386 I meant that Steve got preferential treatment in comparison to the other two. I don't think what he did was less than Warner, for example. They decided together to do what they did. Otherwise I agree with what you say. In South Africa, Hansie Cronje was banned for life, and it was because he did it for financial gain. As someone who has watched all forms of cricket for over 65 years I have seen it all.

[@pieman2656]

If you can hit the wicket throwing it back in go for it, players will position themselves near the stumps so they can let it go if it looks direct or give it a bit of guidance using momentum, you will also see players back up the stumps to stop runs from an over throw.

Throwing the ball at the wicket to get a batsman out is more common than you might think….. they practice hitting one stump, not three….. mind you the example here is great from such a long distance. The bowler will generally go to the wicket from the end he bowled to help, and the wicket keeper (with the glove) goes to the other. Sometimes if it is going to miss they will catch and then break the wicket. Sometimes there is no time for them to get there….. if it misses and the ball goes to the boundary it’s 4 runs… 3:45 Brett Lee was an Australian Cricket Player, but this is. BBL cricket (States playing each other). I’m in WA and the team in Orange is from my State]. Brett was a great Aussie Bowler and he also has commentated and been in some movies I think.

In baseball if you catch ball & go out of field of play you are still out (you also can't be caught out if bowler bowls a no ball, unlike being out on a foul ball). In cricket if you catch ball (EG Smith) over the boundary before touching the ground then the player is not out & it counts as 6 runs. By throwing the ball back into play, before touching ground, it prevents a 6 & players only get what they have run between wickets. If you are back in UK again over July/August you should try to catch a T20 match for sure

Shane Warne would have to be the ultimate player. What he did with a cricket ball almost defied physics. Throwing from the boundary and hitting the stumps is more common than you think and more common than shown in this video. The first clip doesn't happen often, but it does happen. I can't remember the players names but the batsman was an Aussie and the bowler was either Pakistan or India. The bowler was head hunting. Even after the bowler had been warned he still kept it up. The batsman got super pissed off and started walking down the pitch towards the bowler. The batsman was a giant and used a tree trunk for a bat. The umpires and players realised what was going to happen and prevented the batsman from scoring 6 runs using that bowlers head as the ball. The bowler was claiming he wasn't doing it deliberately, but it was obvious he was. The batsman was around 6 foot 7 or 8. At that batsman's height they were deliberate.

If the players are dressed in white, they a playing a Test Match between 2 countries. This is the 5 day game form and the traditional game. Coloured clothes is either a one day game of 50 overs (6 balls bowled in an over) or a T20 game. There are 11 players to a side. The fielding side have to get out 10 batsmen of the batting side. Then they swap roles with the batters going out to field and the fielding side going in to bat. In test matches, the teams each bat and field twice. Whoever has the most runs having got the other side out twice wins. In one day games and T20, each side bats and bowls (or fields) once. Whoever has the most runs after either 50 or 20 overs wins. The aim of the bowler is to hit the 3 stumps and get the batter out. The aim of the batter is to get runs. The batter defends the stumps. He can get out by the ball hitting the stumps and the little things across the top of the stumps (bails) flying off. LBW is out when the umpire thinks the ball would hit the stumps but the batter was in the way. They practice throwing the ball back to the stumps from the outfield so they can be quite accurate. The size of each field varies so it can be a long way!! Eg at Melbourne. The fielders who were flicking the ball back in before it hit the ground had to be in the air to do so or the ball would have been counted as 4 runs. If the ball flies over the fence without hitting the ground it is counted as 6 runs. Some batters can hit the ball high into the stands!

Hey JPS what happened to your Aussie videos.😊

[@cherryblossom3046]

Joel, a lot of Aussie cricketers play in Indian clubs for huge salaries. In India and Pakistan cricket is a Huge National fever pitch obsession!! India and Pakistan are so anti each other militarily since the beginning of the 20th century and this spills into sport, including and especially cricket! When they place each other, usually in a neutral country, it's War on the cricket ground, or nearly war anyway, and they forget it's only sport😂

Nice video and reaction. Highlights might be a good idea as a full match can take days, literally.

ummm that's a big call saying Dhoni is the best cricketer of all time....definitely gonna get some comments. According to a BBC poll the top 10 cricketers of all time are: 1. Sir Don Bradman (Australia) 2. Sachin Tendulkar (India) 3. Sir Garfield Sobers (West Indies) 4. Imran Khan (Pakistan) 5. Sir Ian Botham (England) 6. Shane Warne (Australia) 7. Sir Viv Richards (West Indies) 8. Brian Lara (West Indies) 9. Jaques Kallis (South Africa) 10. MS Dhoni (India) If you want to have a look at one of the best batting performances recently have a look at this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jILThYmMqLN7h9Usi=hxCFBvsGfwUa5EKf. Glenn Maxwell in the ODI world cup is largely regarded as one of the best batting performances.

Jps said "He is ONE of the best cricket players of all time". Your list simply conforms that he is correct.

Dhoni is good. But NOT the best cricketer of all time. Bradman, Sobers, Richards, Kallis, Lara, Tendulkar, Warne, Imran would all be before him in most peoples lists. Indeed I'd doubt Dhoni would feature in the top 20 or 30 for most people. Joel, you ought to have a look at some of those named here. For batting: Richards, Lara, Sobers, Bradman. For bowling: Sobers, Lillee, Hadlee, Warne, Bedi. For wicket keeping; Gilchrist, Knott, Marsh...... they'd all be guys I'd point out as being at the top of their game.

No listen carefully JPS, Brett Lee had already retired from International game and this was his last CLUB game! Got it!

[@alicewaria6215]

Cricketer Brett Lee was scouted by Baseball when he played. The calls where they get excited on where the ball hits the leg is called a LBW (leg before wicket) it’s still classed out of it hits the leg but looks like it could hit wickets. The catch or throwing the ball at the wickets are out. Points outside out near fence or passed the fence are 6 runs. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2awdWifa7ujj7M or kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpyVkIODrKyhi6sfeature=shared (I know second one is for kids lol). If you get out on the first bowl it’s called a duck.

I must not be a real Australian. I would rather watch paint dry than watch a game of cricket. I just had a look and we do have a baseball competition here in Newcastle, New South Wales. I am not and never have been a sportsperson. I don't know where I was when co-ordination was being handed out but they must have been out of stock by the time I arrived at the counter. I am hopeless. Love your work Joel.

Wasn’t two team mates fighting it was the bowler getting in the face of the batsman he’d just bowled out mate
