Bouncers are a part of the game - a legitimate tactic. Helmets are a relatively recent addition to the game - just over the last 30 or so years - perhaps a little longer. People used to get hit without a helmet, but people say it was less often before the helmets were introduced. Intimidation and fear are what fast bowlers are trying to do, and recognised batsmen expect it and are supposed to be able to deal with them.

Cricket pitch is 19.3 yards from bowlers "popping crease" to the batting crease (about 58 feet). Similar distance to baseball. Some argue that helmets have take some of the skill in avoiding short balls out of the game. Keep your eye on the ball and stay inside the line of it, was the old method. You'll see most batters getting hit when they turn their head away and take their eyes off the ball.

[@kingspeechless1607]

[@cricketexplained8526]

Bowlers have a strictly-monitored and rationed right to bounce the ball (not on the full) over a batter's shoulder level. It can cause a mis-timed/uncontrolled shot that goes up for a catch; or unsettle them so that they become tentative about their footwork for the balls that are coming next (perhaps baseball is the same on that second use?). A batter might never totally eliminate the chance of being hit on the head, but there are ways of reducing how many times it happens.

[@RealFansSports]

Okay that's interesting, thank you for checking out the page appreciate your response as well.

[@mariuscheek]

I may be totally wrong, but I believe umpires have discretion based on how able the batsman is (or should be) to defend themselves, so more short balls can be bowled at an opening batsman than a tail ender. So while a top order batsman might face an entire over of bouncers, a spin bowler coming in at no 9 might only get one or two before the umpire has a word with the bowler.

[@savageduck4487]

earlier years the Gentleman's game was a fast bowler did not bounce a fast bowler due to knowing he would get the favor in return. Introduction of rules to favor bat over ball and helmets have taken away that part of the 'honor' of the game. One could argue that the professional aspect of winning in the game has also taken that away@@mariuscheek

[@aanilarnob458]

The rule here is one bouncer per batter per over. So if one batter faces all six deliveries in an over, the bowler can ball only one bouncer directed to his head@@mariuscheek

[@UmpireStrikesBack]

Prior to helmets we were taught to move back and across to play the bouncer. If you missed the ball it would pass behind your head. Now, with the helmet batters are facing directly at the ball therefore when they miss the ball hits your head. The helmet has significantly changed batting technique and we are seeing more people hit in the head in the last 20-30 years.

[@RealFansSports]

Wow that’s brutal. I still wouldn’t want to take one of those to the head of I could avoid it lol

[@rangaweerakkody165]

@@RealFansSports The reason for doing it is, it takes fraction of a time longer to move back and across. You could play it earlier when played in front of the face. The angle makes sure you could place the ball in a segment of the field much larger, by just delaying the shot by milliseconds. Down side is if it misses, it would take the face. The two attacking shots played against a bouncer in the line of the body are named hook and the pull. Hook is when the ball is fetched above the shoulder height, and pull is when it is below the shoulder (in relation to point of contact). Pull is the stroke where most of these injuries happen. Sometimes it can come of the top edge of the bat too. Then it would be disastrous as it would have gained the velocity of the swing in addition.

Love the reaction guys. Cricket can be a brutal sport at times. The batsmen has to be ready for a ball that can be pitched anywhere - short or on their toes, offside or legside, etc. Makes for a much more dynamic battle between bat and ball.

Bowling at a batsman’s head is fair game, he can either try to get out of the way, or stand tall and try to hit the ball away for runs. It’s an important part of the game because it ensures that batting is a test of not just skill but also courage. Until the 1980’s batters didn’t even have helmets. That was genuinely dangerous, but batters were more adept at ducking and weaving to get out of the way and didn’t try to swing at many balls above shoulder height. Now that they have protection most batters will try to stand tall and score off the short ball. It’s more exciting to watch but they get hit more often.

[@Shivian124]

The most important thing is it is illegal to try this against poor opponents as it is considered a deliberate attempt to hurt them when they are nowhere near the quality of your bowling. You instead are expected to just get them out (e.g. bowl at the stumps). Someone like Courtney Walsh - he was comically bad.

[@whattiler5102]

A cricket ball is a similar construction to the traditional baseball but it has to last a lot longer; they are not changed over and over as in a baseball game. It has a cork core, tightly wrapped with twine and then a stitched leather cover. Unlike baseball it has a raised equatorial seam with several rows of stitching which is an important element in how it is used. It is slightly smaller than a baseball but heavier.

Helmet's came into the game in the late 1970's with a breakaway Cricket Competition called World Series Cricket. Before that, it was duck, hit or cop a smack in the head. 3 of the bowlers in this video were clocked at over 100 Miles per hour. That gives the batsman less that a .001 of a second to decide what to do. Another Australian Bowler from the past, Jeff Thompson was clocked at more than 110 Miles per hour. Batsmen didn't wear helmets back when he played. His famous quote was "If I don't know where the ball is going, what chance have those poor bastards got." Haha

[@patheddles4004]

Other commenters have already covered a lot of ground, but also: - The fastest bowlers bowl up very close to 100mph. Very few bowlers are quite that quick, but two of them (Shaoib Akhtar and Brett Lee) are included in this video. And yeah that's terrifying speed with a small heavy hard ball and with the batter standing in the middle of the strike zone (see below) - Batters doing silly things in the face of scary deliveries is completely understandable. I've never faced anything close to international pace, but I've faced plenty of terrifying fast bowling at a club level (and in practice with my older brothers as a kid). - I was a fast bowler myself, and I did once hit a batter directly in the middle of his face guard. Not fast enough to injure him, but it did freak him out. - Cricket does have an equivalent to the strike zone, when the ball reaches the batter. The zone goes from just behind the batter's back to a few feet in front of them, and from ground level either to waist level (if the ball hasn't bounced) or to the top of the batter's head (if the ball has bounced). If the ball is too far left or right then it's a wide: the batting team gets a point and the bowler has to re-do that delivery. If it's too high (or if the bowler oversteps) then it's a no-ball: batting team gets a point, bowler has to re-do, and these days the batter also gets a "free hit" where they mostly can't be out off that re-do delivery. The batter can stand wherever they like, but good technique usually means standing inside the strike zone - your body absolutely is in the line of fire, that's normal, and yeah it can be terrifying. Oh and bean-balls happen occasionally - that's head-high full toss deliveries at full speed - but I've never see anyone do it deliberately. It's just what happens if you're trying to bowl a really quick bouncer and the ball slips out of your hand a bit early. - If the ball hits the batter's body and that stops it from hitting the stumps/wickets, then that's generally out LBW (Leg Before Wicket). Usually that's shins (which are heavily padded), but it can be any body part except the hands/gloves (which are treated as part of the bat). In practice I've never seen someone actually get given out for just flinching and getting hit like this though, LBW is really more about using your body to defend your stumps. If the ball hits any part of the batter's body and/or the bat and then hits the stumps, then that's out "bowled" just like if the batter hadn't touched it. If the batter hits the stumps either directly or with their bat, then that's out "hit wicket" - that's why you see those guys in massive shock and pain still very carefully staying away from the stumps (mostly). If a batter is injured and not out, then they can retire hurt and the next batter will come out. That doesn't count as an out, but in a single inning we have every batter come in only once - if the injured batter isn't able to come back on before the team runs out of other batters, then the inning is over with only 9 outs instead of the usual 10. Though if the batter can bat but can't run, then they are allowed to have someone else come out and do the running-between-wickets for them. Oh that was the other thing: bowler's control of where the ball goes. Deflection off the pitch is a big deal with seam position and pitch variation and all, but still a good enough bowler can be very accurate. If you want to see that, look up videos of Glenn McGrath - he was incredibly accurate and consistent. Dude could reliably hit a coin on the pitch. Whereas Brett Lee, who he often bowled with, was much much faster but also way less accurate. They were known as "the meteor and the metronome", and they worked very well together.

[@steddie4514]

There are multiple ways the ball can be delivered not all of which rely on speed and brute force. For example "spin bowling" as exemplified by the late Shane Warne from Australia. There are many videos on YT that show what a master of his craft he was. Be prepared to be stunned by his out of this world skill with the ball and enjoy 🙂

[@Dr_KAP]

I really hope they check out Shane Warne soon!! RIP Warnie

[@alanmorris9425]

In first class 3 or 5 day matches, each innings typically starts with a new ball. The captain of the fielding side may demand a new ball when the number of overs, excluding any part overs, is at least 80 overs. When the new ball is taken, the umpire at the bowling end informs the other umpire, the batters, and the scorers. If, the ball cannot be found, happens sometimes when a 'six' is scored, or recovered or the umpires agree that the original ball has become unfit for play through normal use, the umpires are allowed to offer a replacement ball which is already worn in a way comparable with the lost or damaged ball. A box of substitute ball is kept for this eventuality.

[@alanjack7524]

Helmets were first used in the 70s in the face of the quartet of West Indian fast bowlers. By the early 80s all Test sides batsmen were using helmets to counter intimidating fast bowlers. There was at least one exception - the great West Indian batsman, Sir Viv Richards who batted from the early 70s to the early 90s without wearing a helmet. He was simply the best batsman I had the good fortune to see in test matches in England.

[@RealFansSports]

Thanks for sharing the history of the sport with us! It helps us understand so much more

[@HaveMonkeyWillDance]

Nice reaction, chaps. I think what I love most about cricket is the physical courage necessary to be really good at it. In any top flight innings in any format, you are almost certainly going to get hit by a fast bowler. It's a deliberate tactic to make a batter defend their body rather than the wicket and kind of defines cricket to me. The really good batters are able to overcome the obvious pain and fear and deal with another fast ball just seconds later...when I played cricket and took a 'nasty blow' to the ribs, nuts, elbow etc I wanted to dig a trench inside the popping crease and hide, which might explain why I became an artist instead. Keep up the good work.

[@KeefsCattys]

In the mid 80's, Mike Gatting got hit so hard from the ball that his nose was smashed to pieces. that was pre helmet days . cricket balls are SO hard

[@whattiler5102]

'Short stuff' (i.e) "bouncers" is all part of a fast bowler's repertoire. Batsmen (especially in test cricket) are tested for 'bottle' as well as skill by fast guys. If you are seen to show weakness or lack of skill against this sort of attack; backing off, turning the head away and so on, you can guarantee you will get even more everywhere you play. Helmets give a good amount of protection but they are a compromise; visibility, comfort, weight are vital factors as well, particularly where the batter may be batting for hours in hot conditions. The essential thing, as always was before helmets came into general use, is 'keep your eye on the ball at all times'. If you do that your natural instincts will keep you out of trouble the vast majority of times so you can move the head out of the way, late in flight. Batsmen are more likely to get hit on pitches with bounce that is less reliable, as it becomes harder to assess where a ball is going to be when playing a shot at it, or ducking too soon and finding it doesn't bounce as much as you thought it would. Quite often there will be conditions where the ball will swing in the air with the seam acting like a rudder in flight and on those occasions the captain will not want to see his bowlers banging it in halfway down the pitch. A skilled fast swing bowler will pitch the ball much further up to get batters on the front foot playing forwards to balls that are deviating enough to get edges for catches to the wicket-keepers and slip fielders. These days Jimmy Anderson, of England, is one of the acknowledged masters of that style of bowling.

[@vinays77777]

bouncers balls are part of the game, blowers are allowed 1 or 2 bouncers in an over. Its is very effective weapon in bowlers arsenal. But there are batsmen out there who play bouncers very easily. Usually batsman utilize 2 types of shots to score runs on a bouncers, the shots are called 'pull shot' and 'hook shot'. If batsman either pulls or hooks and has good contact with the ball, it usually ends up a six or four.

[@velmurugan3139]

These bouncers are legal "pitches" (using baseball terminology; in cricket "pitches" are called "deliveries" or "balls"). The term "pitch" in cricket refers to the (22-yard) strip of non-turf land between the batsman and the bowler. The cricket ball is pretty hard (feels like a rock). I am not used to the ball used in Baseball - but the Internet says that the cricket ball is harder and heavier.

[@rabiyaashraf950]

It is, I watched a video of two professional baseball players trying out cricket for fun, and when they held the ball, they commented how it was so heavy and hard compared to baseball, though much smaller in comparison

Essentially, if you are worried about your safety, you are less worried about your wicket . Or a bowler might want to keep the batsman on his back foot for tactical reasons

[@willrichardson1809]

Helmet only started to keep into the game in the 70's and took many years for every batter to take them up. It's worth checking out anything you can find on the Bodyline series 1932-1933 between Australia and England, leg theory was used by England to combat Don Bradman, as the led side was seen as his only weak point (still stronger than anyone elses), the series was brutal and caused a political stire and it brought about the banning of Leg theory. The bouncer is a deliberate ball aimed at un-nerving the batsman, it is a skill when used correctly, the West Indies were masters of it from the mid 70's to early 90's, Michael Holding was nicked named Whispering Death and he was not even the most deadly of them. There was one in the 80's where Malcolm Marshall (IMO the best quick bowler of all time) hit Mike Gatting on the nose, when he picked the ball up there was bone lodged in it.

[@Shivian124]

13:15 Getting hit doesn't usually mean anything specific. They might have to do a concussion test and the batter has to go off the field "retired hurt" which is technically not out. They can come back if they are cleared by medical team. There's a famous incident a long time ago where a batter got a broken jaw from a bouncer and came back out bandaged up. "Kim Hughes" was the batter. The safety standards are a lot higher nowadays! Nonpfixion yes you are correct... the ball going on to hit the stumps is bowled so that is indeed a situation where they are out.

[@craighenry1734]

The ball gets replaced at intervals, when depends on the format of cricket played.They don't get replaced often tho.Certain bowlers prefer bowling with an older ball such as spinners or swing bowlers.If a ball is lost, they bring out a case of balls that has various "mileage" on it and try to find one that was as close as possible to the one lost. Bouncers are usually aimed at a batsman's head, the idea is to rattle the batsman.This works often,many batsman have been hit by a fast bowler and play a bad shit getting out a few balls later, bcos they worried about getting hit again. It's the batsman's job to play bouncers well, which will make the bowler give up on the bouncer, which is a taxing delivery

[@chrisbrace3989]

batsmen also prefer an older ball, flat out fast bowling is most effective when the ball is at its hardest so after the express bowlers have worn themselves down with the first few overs you tend to get the slower bowlers

2nd comment the reason why in cricket is that players run over if batsman gets hit is cause they all know each other by playing county cricket here in england and other counties

[@riaantitus4875]

In cricket the fast bowlers use the bouncer as a weapon. But it all depends on how the pitch is playing. In Australia and South Africa you get bouncy wickets and fast bowlers love it. If a fast bowler knows how to bowl a good bouncer he hit the batsman on the body. A good batsman always keeps his eyes on the ball to avoid getting hit. This is where the competition between bat and ball is so great to watch. If you can try to watch a test match pitch report before the match start. It will tell you a lot about how the match will go.

[@scottosborne2915]

bouncers are apart of the game and the best way not to be hit is dont be there duck or hit it with the bat only reason they get hit is cause its a ball that there not expecting oh yes someone died by being hit just behind the ear at the base of skull he was an aussie and well liked all over the world his name was Phillip Hughes

[@geoffstokes]

If the ball hits the wickets and dislodges the bails (pieces of wood sitting loose on top of the wickets) it's out. Otherwise, the batsman is still in. They do have to get concussion checks now so they may have to go off anyway, or, if they are too injured they can retire hurt. If that happens, they can bat again later if they are up to it. Batsmen can also be out caught if the ball comes of the bat of gloves, and also out leg before wicket if their head is in line with the wickets when the ball hits them.

One thing I'd flag up is that bowlers have enough control to pitch/bounce the ball wherever they choose. Different bowlers use different styles - some use pure pace (especially in countries where the pitches and climate favour it - Australia and the West Indies). Some spin the ball from the pitch (India especially) and some swing the ball so it arcs through the air before it bounces (England) - all to deceive the batter. If you get hit, you just play on. If you're too injured to carry on you can "retire hurt" - unless the bails are dislodged in which case you're out. Great game. Complex but brilliant once you understand it.

[@MrPaulMorris]

Until relatively recently batsmen wore no protection. Even when helmets were introduced after a couple of serious injuries and a death, many batsmen still resisted the use of helmets arguing they impaired vision and spatial awareness. The bowlers are supposed to bowl on the wicket but a bit of intimidation is all part of the game, aimed at unsettling the batsman.

[@kingcurry6594]

Until the late 70s/early 80s, few batsman wore a helmet. But now it's more or less universal. Phil Hughes (Australian opening batsman) was tragically killed when a bouncer his his neck and split an artery.

[@abrahamdennis6253]

A bouncer is supposed to make you nervous! haha. Check out different styles of bowling, swing bowling and then spin bowling.

[@PeterKelley]

Back in the day the West Indies team used to have 4 really fast bowlers that worked batsmen over with short pitched deliveries. Bowlers like Michael Holding, Joel Garner, Courtney Walsh and Malcolm Marshall used to strike fear into the hearts of opponents.

[@Lungdog]

The most eye opening thing about bouncers, is that the lower order batsman usually numbers 9, 10 and 11. Are such specialist bowlers that they are absolutely useless at batting. They have to face bouncers from the fastest and best bowlers in the world. There used to be a unwritten rule that bowlers would not bounce bowlers from the other team, but that faded out of the game and now anyone seems to be fair game.

[@simonsaunders8147]

A cricket ball is quite hard and does hurt especially at 80+ mph from 22 yards away. A funnier way of being hit is taking a blow to the "box" which protects the family jewels. That can bloody hurt.

[@1chish]

This is very much part of the game of cricket just like spin or seam. In the lower batting order the number of bouncers a bowler can deliver per over are reduced as they are not recognised batters. The pitch is 22 yards between the stumps but the balls are coming down at 90 to 95MPH and yes the balls are REALLY hard. The balls are changed after a fixed number of overs and the bowling side can decide to take the new ball or not. If there is exceptional damage or it loses shape the umpires can bring in similarly used balls as a replacements. A batter can retire hurt and the next batter comes in but the injured batter can return later provided his side are still batting!

[@AbleLawrence]

Bouncers are not only legal, aiming for the head is the way to do it. Good batsmen will hit it out of the park. Key is to keep eye on the ball, decide to hit it or move out of the way while keeping eye on the ball. Accidents happen when batsmen take their eyes off the ball or fail to hit. It is one ball you don’t pay a defensive shot as the chance of a catch is high. If you want to know more about this, watch the “Bodyline” series where England comes up with a strategy to bowl exclusively bouncers to contain Sir Don Bradman. In modern cricket, the number of bouncers are limited to two an over and the number of fielders in catching positions on the leg side (behind the batsman) are limited as well.

[@wolfmad_naal]

11:21 In cricket also they change ball after specific overs (only 1 time) depends on captain if he want to use it or not. Sometime if ball is so damaged then umpire himself will change it.

[@mradriankool]

Bit of “chin music” get them ducking around, or “badging” when you get the team logo. All part of the game. Remember the batsman is there in a defensive roll to the stumps, scoring runs in the process. the fielding side is trying to break the wicket.

[@thaveennishendrauyangoda7016]

Bowling bouncers is a part of the game. Bowlers do it to get a wicket or distract the batsman. I have played both baseball and cricket; the distance between the pitcher and the batsman is 60’6” in baseball, but in cricket, the distance between the two creases is 58’. A cricket ball is made out of pure leather, so it can be used for more than 50 overs. Usually, in test matches, we use a red ball, and they use the ball for 80 overs. But in white-ball cricket, they use it only for 25 overs. Both games have similarities, but from experience, I say they require two different skill sets. A good batsman in cricket can be worse in baseball, and a good batter in baseball can be worse in cricket.

[@Dev-iu2gs]

Unlike Baseball, in cricket, ball bounces on the pitch. So hardness/dampness/wetness of the pitch plays a crucial part in deciding the overall trajectory/swing of the ball. The pitches in ANZ and South Africa are hard and have more grass on it, hence the ball bounces and swings much more as compared to most of the Asian sub-continent pitches.

[@melon_zit]

To avoid it : 1. Duck 2. Let it go to the keeper 3. If you have good timing, whack it over to the leg side 4. If the batsman can predict that a bouncer is coming, some would dance down the wicket and attack the ball

[@gartgreenside3657]

[@damodeste]

Bouncers are completely intentional by the bowlers. It is used to intimidate the batter, Its not a wild a "pitch" . The rule has change so Bouncers not as common. But back in the day this was Bowlers main weapon. If you get hit dust yourself off bat again unless the ball hit the wicket or it hits your bat or gloves and somone catches the ball. Legendary Viv Richards always said "You have a bat defend yourself" The rule change to one Bouncer per batsman per over due injuries and deaths. You react to Killer Bouncers in Cricket

[@hind8273]

Actually a 3rd person or viewer won't be able to tell if it's deliberate bowling with the purpose to hurt. The reason is that bouncers are bowled with force to pitch higher than expected so that the batsman can be caught out. But then bodyline bowling is when the bowlers are actually wanting to hurt the batsmen. It's physial sledging. sledging is when the opposing team taunts the batsman to piss him off and loose his calm and concentration. We can really hear the wicket keepers fucking up the batsman's mentally to ruffle his feathers on the wicket microphone.

[@stephenrentzsch832]

It's legal to bowl at the body. There was a death a few years ago (one of the Aussie top players) that resulted in redesign of the helmet. There is a limit on hour many bouncers you are allowed to bowl in an over (6 balls / pitches).

[@demeraragirl]

Bowling at the body is deliberate on the bowlers part and also allowed. It's the batters job to either defend or get out of the way. You can see in see in some of them the batsman was actually trying to duck out of the way but he misjudged the trajectory of the ball. It's used as a form of intimidation,so the batsman might become skittish and divert from his natural game. In team research the captain would know which batsman is not a good player of the bouncer and so he gets peppered with bouncers the minute he comes in.

[@martinwhite2369]

In a long game (played over 5 days) the ball is changed every 480 “pitches” (6 balls per over, changed at 80 overs) unless it goes out of shape during that time. Also, whereas a baseball has a similar seam line to a tennis ball, a cricket ball has one seam around the “equator”. You can curve in the air (swing) a cricket ball in two main ways. One is by spin, like a pitcher. The other is to keep one side of the ball polished and shiny ( which is why players rub the ball on their trousers) and let the other side rough up naturally. It’s against the laws of the game to artificially rough up the ball. The different surface characteristics of the ball on each half means that airflow is disrupted over each half, cause it to move sideways as it travels down the pitch. By the way, the pitch is 22 yards between the wickets (stumps) but the batter is usually about 3ft in front of the stumps at their end, and the bowlers front foot is about three feet in front of the stumps at their end when the ball is released.

[@mostlymotiongraphics2134]

It's completely fine to intimidate batsman this way. Fast bowlers often "soften up" batsman to set them up for dismissals. The shorter the format, the more the bowler is limited in how often they're allowed to do it. In Test cricket (5 days) you can work away at the batsman throughout a day. Only "beamers" are completely prohibited (balls that don't bounce and reach the batsman above hip height). It's called "Test Cricket" for a reason :)

[@sahilmondol4916]

@5:46 ... Yes my friend. It is indeed a good sportsmanship. That's why cricket is widely considered as a 'Gentleman's Game'..

[@greygolem]

Regarding hits: hitting the batsman is incidental, as in, if it hits the bat before it hits the batsman, bounces up, it can be caught by a fielder to get the batsman out. If it hits the wicket after, that's out. Hitting the batsman is neither a foul or issue of any kind that I know of, except if it hits the batsman when it was bowled in such a way it was going to hit the wicket (which is LBW or leg before wicket, and the batsman is out. You see that in the Shane Warne leg spin tutorial video you did.)

In the past, up to the 1970/80 batsmen didn't play wearing helmets, they had not been thought of as a piece of cricket kit.

[@phillipdyson2689]

helmets are a recent addition for safety. Steve Smith got hit in the neck and he is one of the best, because bounce, length and speed are the variables it is almost impossible to judge which action to take to avoid being hit in the head. People get hit more often now they have protection. Australia has been the best team for many years. West Indies had some of the best ballers ever and were unplayable as over 150km/h and the guys were almost 7' tall. the angle the ball pitched off the wicket

[@PrasunRoyPlus]

Bouncers are part of the game and batsman have to prepare for it. In 1984 the number of bouncers were restricted to 1 or 2 per over of 6 deliveries. But in the golden days there was no such limit and in the infamous bodyline series the English devised a negative strategy of aiming at the body of Australian batsmen on every ball of the entire 5 match series.

[@legendofnothing1]

Until 80s there were no helmets and pitches suited bowlers even more. Batters in those times were warriors. The Aussies and Westindians and some Pakistanis bowlers were really quick. Facing those without helmet was no joke, Sir Viv Rickards refused to wear a helmet even when they became available in 80s, such was his ego. Watch "Fire in Babylon" a great documentary on the great West Indian team of 70s. They went from a weak team to the strongest team ever. Its quite a story.

[@stephenhodgson3506]

In the history of the game helmets are a relatively new thing, but the ball is still the same and bowlers still bowl with the same pace. Older retired players say that the introduction of the helmet has decreased the skill of the batsman in avoiding the bouncer as in the past if you got it wrong it was going to hit your head. Until the advent of the helmet there was an unwritten rule that fast bowlers didn't bowl bouncers to lower order batsmen who are also bowlers as they don't have the skill to get out of the way and possibly if you do you may get the same treatment when it's your turn to bat.

[@kushal6970]

its also part of the game but it is also a method used by bowlers to make a batsman show there place

[@ianchurms4891]

Yes the batsman is out when the ball hits the wicket as it is still live. If a part of the barsmens equipment including the helmet dislodged the bails which have to fall off for him to be dismissed. If the bails stay on even if the wicket is touched he isn't out. Has been known for bails to lift up and come back down so the batsmen is not out. If you leave the field after an injury as a couple did you can return later if well enough. If you don't then you retired injured.

[@RolandjHearn]

The difference between baseball and cricket at this point is that the rules demand the batter not get hit in baseball. So when someone does it seems deliberate or at least careless and the reaction is an expression of how unfair the batting team feels the pitch was. In cricket not only is it permitted it is expected. So there is concern if someone gets hurt but no concern about getting hit. To avoid it typically a batsmen will simply duck under it. A bouncer is pitched a lot shorter (closer to the bowler) than a regular delivery and a lot of pace comes off so a batsmen typically has time to choose to get under it. An aggressive response, however, is to hit it. This will tell the bowler not to bowl that ball. If a batsmen gets on to a bouncer it is almost always a four or a six. So the batsmen takes a risk and tries to hit it. When they miss, this is what happens.

[@CarlWheatley-wi2cl]

That ball is no joke. I've seen a soft underarm throw from 20 feet hit a guy on the cheek who didn't know it was coming. It raised a lump that looked like a plum on the side of his face and drew blood that trickled down his neck. When it's coming at you at 90 miles an hour with serious intent that ball can kill without protection.

[@GeshmanXD]

4:25 it's a part of the game... You duck, or otherwise just move yourself out of the way. It takes very skilled batters to read and expect the ball and also be able to play a shot off it

[@RichardGadsden]

Cricket balls and baseballs are basically the same structure - cork covered in leather stitched tightly around. A cricket ball is very slightly heavier (5.5-5.75 oz compared to 5.00-5.25oz for baseball) and very slightly smaller (8.81-9.00 inches around compared to 9.00-9.25 inches around), which means there is a little bit more material crammed into a little bit less space - which means they are a bit harder than a baseball. A new ball is noticeably harder. Because cricket balls are used for 80 overs (480 balls/pitches), they soften quite a lot over that use, so an old ball is usually softer than a baseball (baseballs have not been allowed to get old and wear since 1920). What the bowlers are trying to do with these bouncers is two things: scare the batsman and get him nervous, making him more likely to make a mistake and get out, and also hopefully get them to waft the bat at the ball to protect themselves and hopefully hit it up in the air so it can be caught. A very good batsman can play a "hook" shot, which will hit a bouncer a long way (to the leg side, generally behind square). If the bowler can unsettle the batsman, they'll then move to bowling a ball that doesn't bounce so high and they'll try to generate some "movement" to defeat the bat. There are three ways that a cricket ball "moves" (ie moves laterally to defeat the batsman): Seam: a cricket ball has a large raised seam that runs all the way around the ball; if you hold the seam vertically and make the ball spin, then it will bounce on the seam; you can make it bounce on the seam at an angle and it will move laterally when it bounces. This is the main way that really fast bowlers get movement Swing: by angling the seam in the air, or by having a shiny side and a rough side of the ball, you can induce the ball to move sideways. If you bowl particularly quickly, the movement is in the opposite direction ("reverse swing") from what it would normally be; some bowlers can adjust their speed and action (mechanics) so they can pick between orthodox and reverse swing on a ball by ball basis, which, obviously, is really hard to hit, as you have to spot the subtle changes to see which way the ball is going to move. Most swing bowlers are a bit slower than seamers. A "trick" ball - this is not one that many bowlers can hit consistently - is to have it swing in one direction in the air, and then seam the other way on the bounce - usually they swing it away from the batsman and then seam it back in, so it looks like it is safe to leave, and then nips back in to take the stumps. Note that if it doesn't seam, this is still an effective away swinger, trying to take the edge and get caught. Both seam and swing can happen - sometimes by accident - on a bouncer, which will make the location harder for the batsman to predict, and make the bouncer more dangerous. Bowlers generally don't try to put movement on the bouncer because it's dangerous and it doesn't help to get wickets. However, they don't have perfect control and sometimes the ball will move in the air or off the ground even if they didn't intend it to. Quite a lot of the ones you just watched were balls that moved off the seam, probably unintentionally, which is why the batsman looked like he had no idea where the ball was going (because he didn't). Spin: The technique needed for spin means you can't bowl fast enough to create an effective bouncer. This involves intentionally spinning the ball (ie sidespin) so that it will generate lateral movement when it bounces. There are two basic techniques, finger spin and wrist spin, but the balls aren't hitting the deck hard enough to bounce higher than waist-high or so. You can get the ball to go a bit higher by putting on backspin (a "flipper"), but even that isn't going to be high enough or fast enough to pose any physical threat to the batsman. Which is fine, because a good spinner is entirely capable of terrifying batsmen by moving the ball in at least four directions and making them absolutely uncertain where it is going, resulting in them wafting the bat in the general direction of the ball and generally getting caught or out LBW in short order (I write as a former club-level spin bowler: those are the good days; there are plenty of bad ones where it won't move at all and the batsmen just carve it to the boundary with ease).

[@truedardii]

A bowler that popped up a couple of times in the video, the guy who bowled into the players elbow is Brett Lee who is capable of bowling at speeds up to 160km/100mph at his fastest but still average at a speed of 140km/87mph

[@dansegelov305]

It's 100% a tactic that is entirely intentional and part of the game. Good bowlers are very capable of targeting the batsman's head whenever they choose. Most of the time the batsman ducks it, hits it or defends it. But sometimes they aren't ready for it and they can't get out of the way. The bowler uses it to unsettle and 'soften up' the batsman, and also to encourage a hook hit for a catch, deep behind the batsman. The trouble is, if you're trying to hit a bouncer, you're not ducking it! So by standing up and keeping your eye on the ball, you almost guarantee a head hit if you miss it. One of the major problems for batsmen is that if you reduce the gap between the face guard and helmet to prevent the ball getting through, it also narrows and obstructs your vision, making all shots harder. When a ball is coming at your head at 85-90mph and you only have 0.33s to make a decision, you need clear vision! ps. The cricket pitch is 22 yards (66 ft) long. The angle of the TV cameras significantly foreshortens it.

[@spookdoggtv6917]

its a bowlers problem, but its not really a problem its just the bowler bowling a short delivery so it bounces up higher at the batsman, its called a bouncer or a short delivery and the purpose of it is to shake up the batsman or another word would be to intimidate the batsman, kinda like the fake throw at the face in basketball its to make the opponent shit their pants a little.

[@brucelamberton8819]

Steve Smith getting hit at 2:14 clearly shows a serious issue that ecists in modern cricket. The problem is that the current generation of cricketeters have been brought up always playing in helmets, instilling them with a false sense of security and made worse by not being properly coached in how to correctly play bouncers. The problem is they do not keep their eye on the ball and even worse, turn their backs and dangerously expose the base of their skull / back of the neck. This is the WORST PLACE TO BE hit and can be deadly, which sadly, is what happened to Australian batsman Philllip Hughes a few years ago. Unfortunately, the problem is an on-going one; the other night (7 Sept 2023) in the first ODI Australia vs South Africa, Aussie batsman Cameron Green did exactly the same thing and was lucky he only had to leave the field with a concussion. This urgently needed to be addressed through coaching, beginning in junior cricket.

[@chrisjones2224]

Just to add to the degree of difficulty as far as the batsman is concerned, the ball can pitch up/bounce at different heights/speeds at sny time, even in consecutive balls, even if the bowler is putting the same effort/power into his delivery, it can suddenly rear up or keep very low

Intimidating bowling is part of the game to test the batsman's courage and to stop him coming towards the bowler to hit the ball.

[@deanb61]

In cricket it is perfectly legal, and also common to bowl directly AT the batter. A bouncer is a specific type of ball that rises around head high, usually it's easy to spot as it bounces around midway down the wicket. Some bowlers can make a ball rise unexpected high without bowling particularly short; these are often the dangerous ones as the batter isn't expecting it. There's a bat stroke called a hook, which you see here been used (or attempted) to hit a bouncer. There are no real rules, but in general bowlers only bowl bouncers at recognised batsmen, i.e. at the tai end you get the bowlers come in to bat, it's considered bad form to bowl bouncers at these guys as they really don't have the skill to deal with it.

[@davidclarke2513]

You keep your eye on the ball and move your head away or duck down, a famous West Indian batsman called Vivien Richards never wore a helmet in his whole career and he faced the fastest bowlers in the world

[@martinwhite2369]

It’s an out if the ball hits the stumps whether it hits the batter or not, or if the batter falls onto the stumps, or even if the helmet falls onto the stumps after being hit. If it’s not an out, but the batter can’t continue it’s called “retired hurt” which isn’t an out. If they feel up to it they can come back in that same innings. The short pitched ball is also a good scoring opportunity if you’re a good batter. Bowling a bouncer at a batsman is like saying “hit this if you think you’re hard enough and good enough, but if you miss it it’s gonna hurt. “ some batters just duck but if it bounces higher or lower than you expect it’s difficult to get out of the way. Look up a guy called Botham hitting a bouncer from one of the worlds fastest bowlers of all time, Jeff Thomson.

[@googleforcedmetocreateacha6273]

Pro way to bat is get your head in the line of the ball since your head is the heaviest part of the body and it has to be stable and in line before you swing. So bowlers bowl the bouncers to target your head 2. Which means a pro batter usually tries to get in line and then if their is a slight misjudgment which happens at the faster speeds. You are likely to get hit. The way to avoid this is to be conscious that it is coming and duck or get out of the way. The bowlers use this as a tactic to unsettle the batsman.

[@RG-un2vl]

That’s because all baseball throws are ‘full tosses’..They never touch the ground.The condition of the ball is important in cricket, because a new ball versus an old ball behaves differently when bouncing off the pitch ( ground) in front of the batsmen.

[@2good4name]

Perfectly legal. I would bounce batsmen if I thought it could get them to either raise their bat trying to defend, or they'd try to hit it and it'd bounce off the top edge of their bat and pop up for a catch. A common 1-2 punch is to bounce them and then the next ball to bowl a yorker (low ball aimed at their feet). Also to note, back in the day they didnt wear helmets, and it was still legal. Lots of guys got hit straight on in the head and kept playing. No rule against it, but its generally considered poor form to bounce any batsman who isn't good enough to defend their stumps (usually bowlers coming out to bat). If you can't get them out, then its game on for bouncers. Easiest way to avoid it is to duck under it, usually going towards the ball. In cricket the more you avoid a ball the more it seems to follow you. Pro cricketers can read balls going 140KPH+, but amateur cricketers aren't as good and maybe a 110kph bouncer is enough to be scary. Really depends on your level how capable you are of avoiding bouncers. But sometimes you just misread it, and you duck a ball that isnt that low, or you get hit cos you read it too late. There is an infamous dismissal where a guy tries to duck a ball and gets given out LBW.

[@pranaykishnaney797]

This is called a Bouncer, a legal part of cricket. One ball per over is allowed in white ball cricket and 2 balls per over in red ball. You have to react quick on these, good players of these balls have capability of hitting 6s as well One important thing, bowlers have to precise as if ball goes over head it give run to batting team as well as you can no longer ball bouncer in same over again plus batsman gets a free hit next ball - which means he cannot get out.

[@davidminz9509]

Bouncers are legitimate. It is part of the game. A bowler can bowl two bouncers in an over. If the batsman can see it early, they can duck down and avoid the bouncer, but usually the ball coming at the batsman is too fast for the batsman to react.
