Red ball is for test cricket, white for limited overs. Not the other way round 👍

[@SurajYadav-dm2cm]

I think confusion was with jersey, white color dress is for test, limited overs like t20 are colorful

[@solreaver83]

Yeah, white is so the ball is easier to see at night under lights. Test cricket is played during sunlight hours so uses a red ball. Also test cricket the players wear traditional white while short form one day and t20 use coloured uniforms. Don't watch t20 so not sure if there is an easy way to I.d. between the 2 short games.

[@robinford4037]

Don't they have a specific PINK BALL for the when the match starts in the evening (sunset around 6pm) with the floodlights already on ?

[@solreaver83]

@robinford4037 they did a pink ball for a while but I think they stopped. Might be wrong

[@robinford4037]

@@solreaver83 Just checked and Dukes, Kookaburra and SG make some of there models in red, white and pink. The pink ball is still under review in NIGHT TEST CRICKET and is used because the white ball deteriorates very quickly, well before the mandatory 80 overs

[@Lnch4ALion]

The female wicket keeper read the play because the batter set up to "reverse sweep" which is essentially like switching from a lefty to a righty, mid delivery. The keeper saw her switching so had time to read and move. This is only really something that happens if the batter significantly shifts their stance, mid delivery

[@Lnch4ALion]

Righty to lefty I should say

[@RealFansSports]

Oh okay that makes sense and thank you for explaining that for us.

[@YobboBear]

Other close in fielders may react to the length the ball is pitched before the batter plays a shot. Players fielding right under the nose of the batter may take evasive action if the ball is short and likely to be smashed directly at them.

[@thechocolatemonster3392]

But worth mentioning that, it’s very rare for a wicketkeeper to predict and move that fast, so it was special what she did

[@Lnch4ALion]

@@thechocolatemonster3392 entirely true.

[@jayluke2451]

In cricket you can have an idea of what line and length the ball will be bowled by the field placement. You’re allowed to adjust the position of your fielders before each bowled ball. This is done by either the captain or bowler. This can also be used as a decoy to surprise the batsman with a ball he wasn’t expecting

[@martinshillitoe4735]

Considering a cricket ball is heavier, harder and smaller than a baseball and everything is done bare handed, it’s add a new level of appreciation of the skills required in cricket

[@lonewolfe2502]

It's good that you guys are reading the comments and trying to learn the game. Give it some time & this sport will grow on you. Also Red Ball cricket means Test cricket(5 days) & white ball cricket means one day(50 over) & T20 (20 over) cricket. Other way to remember that is white jersey means test cricket & colourful jersey means T20 or one day Cricket. One more thing about this video & why those catches are special is because those balls are really tough and heavy. Upon that it moves in the air due to the wind & you have to position your body, keep the eyes on the ball & then catch the ball. Infact those ball are so tough that they can really injure anyone if they get hit by one of those on their head or any part of their body. It also hurt when you catch them with your bare hand & in some cases if your technique is not proper then it can also fracture your fingers. But cricketers are so used to catching the ball that they became kind of immune to pain or more likely they anticipate the pain beforehand.

[@RealFansSports]

Thanks for breaking that down for us! And yeah I got balls mixed up lol. I read the comment that morning and then got them flipped when we recorded that evening. Our next step is to have someone join us in a reaction or possibly a actual game and can answer questions for us as we see them!

Also every cricket playing nation has a color coded uniform when international cricket is played.. cyan blue india.. Yellow Australia.

I played cricket to a semi professional level here in Australia. I played for 20 years, I have broken everyone of my fingers multiple times from fielding in close, being hit on the gloves batting and having the ball hit back at me whilst bowling. None of them are straight now lol.

[@sudhirpadmanabhan6798]

lot of helpful comments here to teach you guys the game but I must say that your level of cricket knowledge is already quite impressive. Good stuff, Fellas!

[@RealFansSports]

Thanks this is one of our earlier cricket reaction videos and all of the help from the comments has been amazing! We are excited to continue learning about this amazing game

[@MikeP2055]

This is fantastic! Well done, gents. Another sports channel on KZbin recently got me into cricket and now I'm OBSESSED. If you can find a good compilation of run outs, they're amazing to watch. Some of the running, twisting, and blind wickets the fielders pull off are unbelievable. To snag a ball, whip around in mid-air, and chuck it at the stumps from 20+ yards away is such a satisfying and beautiful example of athleticism. (A bunch of people have probably already made this comment, but the "home run" line is just called the boundry, as far as I know.)

[@Shivian124]

20:28 The Strauss catch moment was from the 2005 Ashes. Gilchrist was an extremely dangerous matchwinning batsman. The series was extremely tight so getting him out is a huge moment in any innings let alone in such an edge of seat series. Honestly I've never experienced such tension for weeks like that series. It was a heart stopper. The Ben Stokes catch you saw before that Australia were basically routed. They were getting annihilated and so that wicket was of low consequence. Basically just rubbed salt into the wound.

[@geoffreywoodfield8932]

Check out Shane Warne bowling

[@yashpatankar221]

If u really want to learn the game start streaming it.. The 2nd match of the ashes (England vs Australia) is starting today. The ashes are a series of 5 Test matches (Red ball cricket) that happen every 2 years.. Stream one session of 30 overs usually lasts for 2hours.. There are 3 sessions in a day for a test match..so stream whichever one is convenient for you..

[@RealFansSports]

Understandable it's not always that easy to just stream games from out of the country with the time difference. We have to schedule things ahead of time especially with our personal lives as well. But we would definitely like to in the future hopefully sooner then later.

[@silverrahul]

@@RealFansSports Yes, ashes is big deal in test format.

[@shmick6079]

One thing to note is that these were only matches that occurred in England and Wales, and only since 2000 it would seem. Just the tip of the iceberg! But it’s also worth noting that this means the video quality is decent.

[@rocketrabble6737]

The catch by Sarah Taylor (regarded as one the great wicket-keepers in women's or men's cricket) was about reading the footwork and set up of the batter. The 'funky' reverse sweeps and 'ramp' type shots generally require a hint of premeditation by the batter. Initially Sarah is reacting to the line of the ball but then she picks up on the batter's intentions and reacts with incredible speed. Having been a keeper for 25 years I know that is an amazing catch.

​@@bichlaa4595bro, I understand you are an msd fan (me too) but you don't need to bring him up on any topic. There are other legendary wicket keepers in the game around the world.

[@joycie014]

The Ashes matches between Australia and England are always emotionally charged. They are always test matches, so are scheduled to last 5 days. In this modern era, they tend to finish earlier as the games are played more skilfully and are played to win rather than to a draw. In the past there were many more drawn games. The Aussies are leading England in series wins at the moment, 34-32. The current series is being played in England as we speak, with Australia having won the first game.

[@endlessthespokesperson6876]

🇿🇦 As a South African Cricket (Proteas our national team) supporter I appreciate the fact that you genuinely learning the gentlemen's game When you talking about catching it all boils down to the captain's and bowler's field setting

[@arikiwilliams]

If you notice, the Bowlers run in at different speeds...that's an indicator of what type of bowl the bowler is going to throw...it the bowler is sprinting in from deep, they are Seam Bowlers(fast ball) .. if they just running middle speed, they are Swing Bowlers(Curve Ball) and the bowlers that look like the just walking up are your Spin Bowlers(that put so much spin on the ball, as it hits the pitch, it bounces back up in a totally different direction) .. so although the wicket keeper (the guy behind the stumps with the gloves) doesn't know exactly what type of delivery will be coming, he will have an idea of the speed and bounce depending on the type of bowler who's bowling..

[@surojitchowdhuri3337]

Hi guys! Firstly thank you for taking interest in cricket that itself is great to see.. it may seem alien at first but with time you guys will be pros at it.. my two cents for your better understanding is that in International Cricket we have majorly two major formats namely, red ball cricket & white ball cricket.. So Test matches are red ball cricket which are played in white clothing & can last for five whole days & is the oldest & longest form of the game while white ball cricket is played in coloured clothing & has limited overs of balls to play.. white ball cricket on the other hand is further divided into two formats of One Day Internationals or ODI's which have a total of fifty overs for each side & is played within a day's time & the second white ball format is called the T20I's or T20 Internationals which have a total of 20 overs for each side & the game can last for 3 to 4 Hrs making it the shortest format of the game.. and yes you are right that because of the length of the game Test Cricket or Red Ball Cricket is a test of patience, endurance & technique while the shorter formats of white ball cricket is about maximising the scoring within the limited time frame thus, more unorthodox & relentless hitting is preferred.. hope that helps a little.. Cheers!

[@ashishkrishnapandey]

Both of you guys have great energy. Love levelsstream's observations and nonpfixion's analysis/reasoning.

[@dmwallacenz]

This is actually a really good reaction video. I've watched quite a few videos of Americans (particularly those who know baseball well) reacting to cricket, and you two seem to have a really good understanding of what might be involved in the game. Sure, you messed up some little details, like the whole red vs white thing; but questions like whether the wicketkeeper and the bowler are communicating about where the ball will go are actually really insightful. The thing that you don't pick up from highlight videos or "best of" compilations is that cricket has a kind of rhythm to it. The bowler bowls the ball six times, and then there's a bit of a break while the fielders move around, and then a new bowler bowls the next set of six deliveries, from the opposite end of the park. Each set of six deliveries is called an over. But in that break between the overs, the captain and the next bowler will discuss what bowling variations to use, and how to position the fielders. If the bowler is going to do anything innovative, the wicketkeeper will be made aware too. So it's very much a game of team strategy and communication, a lot of which happens between the overs.

[@alec2726]

Don't forget, a cricket ball is nor a baseball as it doesn't have a cover. It's as hard as a rock!

[@vikramkrishnan6414]

Anticipation comes from 1. Studying the posture of the bastman, typically through tape 2. During team practices, the bowler will discuss plays and the corresponding fielding position he wants 3. On field play by play adjustments by the captain based on how the bastman is batting.

[@alec2726]

[@SOHRABSWING]

a correction. It is not the color of the ball by which you can tell the format of Cricket but the color of the uniforms. However, Test Cricket is red ball Cricket and limited over Cricket (T-20, etc) is generally white ball Cricket. Regarding the question on whether the catcher has anything to do with what type of delivery a bowler would bowl, generally no but it does happen now and then that the catcher would signal. The dimensions of the pitch is always same but the perimeter (boundary) can be any shape or size (I guess there is a min though).

[@ryansidley1833]

It is the colour of the ball that technically determines the different in professional cricket. First class and test matches are called "red ball" and limited overs are called "white ball" cricket. Also, fielding positions do determine the delivery the bowler bowls. Bowlers do bowl to their field. If a captain stacks the leg side and has a deep fine, deep square and deep mid wicket, the bowler will bowl short. The catchers don't "call", but fielders are placed in certain positions to take a catch, so the bowler will bowl a certain way to try and make that happen

[@abbasiabbasi7518]

Cricket grounds are of different sizes but the pitch (the area on which the batsman and the bowler are playing) doesn't change it's 22 yards fixed

[@RianMeier]

Ok so a few things. Yes different fields have different boundry sizes. This can even differ between games at the same field. If you look at the videos you will see large rectangle around the pitch where they are playing. The pitch for the next match can be prepared anywhere on this area and is usually determined by the grounds keeper with the home team. Someone else already mentioned the ball coulours you had mixed up. Also if the players are wearing coloured clothing then its not a test match (5 day). Red ball means it's played only during the day only. White ball usually means they play during the day and at night. I have seen day games with white ball but it is rare and it would be a safe assumption some portion of the game is at night. So white ball is One Day (50 overs) or T20 (20 overs). If there is daylight its probably not a T20, because those games are short and is usually played at night only (there might be exceptions but it would be a safe assumption again). For red ball games it is either a One Day 50 overs) or Test Match (5 day). Test matches the players will always be in white. One days are played in either white or colored clothes. Test matches are very traditional/formal in rules and attire so if they are all dressed in white so one way to be fairly certain it's a test match is if the players (except the bowler) are wearing knittet jerseys/vests.

[@mitch01463]

I played cricket from a young age. In my mid 30s i filled in the outfield for a country league baseball game. I got yelled at by the coach twice. Once for a hook shot down past the third base, and once for throwing the glove off to catch the ball in the outfield.

[@DoctorWossname]

Cricket grounds come in different shapes and sizes. Its not unusual for the boundary to be closer to the batsmen on one side of the ground than the other. There is even a professional ground in England where there is a large tree growing in one corner of the playing area!

[@mudassirsalman7013]

Red Ball cricket is Test cricket (as long as 10 players get out), White ball Cricket is One Day International (50 overs each team) or T20 (20 overs each team) depends upon number of overs

[@amandstunts]

Best three catchers/fielders ever where Chris Harris (NZ) Jonty Rhodes (SA) and Ricky Ponting (AUS)

[@abbasiabbasi7518]

How do they move even before the ball being bowled? The answer is mainly because of the field set-up. The batsman assesses the field and then he can guess where the bowler will "most likely" bowl. And if you are good enough you can manipulate and use it to your advantage.

[@vaudevillian7]

Great stuff. Cricket Explained for Baseball Fans by Sports Explained (and his follow up video) is probably the best explanation out there. Even though you’ve probably got a better idea of things by now I’d still recommend watching it. He also has a really good video on Rugby Explained…

[@jdbm1978]

Hey guys. You have picked up so many technicalities of the game. There is no official size of ground but the pitch remains standard. There are grounds where trees are live, others where trees are not. I've been very lucky to have played on the oldest pitch in England, Hambledon Hampshire. Shocking pitch. I played keeper and I've never been hit so much. Really nice for you Yanks to start to understand the game. Hats off to you!

[@rocketrabble6737]

'Slip' catching behind the wicket is so difficult; the reaction time is so small and the angle of vision difficult. Most people just cannot do it, when you pick a pro team you have to ensure you have quality slip catchers or you will struggle to win games. One aspect can be that a fielder there may have to wait hours for an edge to come and then he/she has to catch it.

[@sayanmandal1289]

Can we get a 'Kabadi' reaction another popular game in South and Southeast Asia. And big giants are India, Iran , Korea Bangladesh, Pakistan, Thailand. We have this game in Asian games and world Cup , championship also a league in India. Can we ???

[@bando7567]

Something to take into consideration for baseball fans who don't know cricket, the ball is both heavier and harder than a baseball, and the stitching that holds the ball together is raised, so it will rip your skin apart if you're not careful. Also, when the ball goes into the crowd, the crowd gives it back, since the condition of the ball is an important factor of the game; as play progresses, the ball softens, and one side of the ball becomes rough and the other side keeps being polished, allowing the bowler to swing and curve through the air.

[@chetanhs5080]

for the question on the how the keeper predicts which direction to jump , has to do with the style of the bowler . For eg - leg spin , offspin , swings , reverse swings etc .

[@Shivian124]

8:30 Re anticipation, yes it's an experience thing. The fielder sees the batter setup for the shot and is moving to cover the likely hit direction.

[@Rassskle]

If the keeper has an idea or sees a weakness in the batsman he can signal the bowler with his gloves etc or where he stands or tap his shoulder for a bouncer...... but doesn’t happen often and many bowlers would ignore it anyway. Sometimes the team or captain devise a plan before the game starts....... it is a team sport so there are always tactics and discussions.

[@joneff9713]

Thanks guys, for taking the time to learn and understand the sport of Cricket. There are a lot of similarities between baseball and cricket and it's great that you're comparing bowling/pitching , fielding and batting in an intelligent way. Please find a catching highlights package from Straya, other than the Pommie Propaganda being shown here. I promise you there will even be MORE 'corkers'!😉

[@jimmystewart1974]

Red ball with only white jerseys=Test cricket White ball with colored jerseys=Limited over cricket(ODIs,T20)

[@ankitpant1982]

They wear all whites in test cricket too, as far as the anticipation you were wondering they look at the seam (stitching) of the ball and anticipate where its gonna go, or through the bowling action which, by the way, bowlers try to disguise the most.

[@Infinitboundaries]

8:45 it because, keeper knows the batsman and bowller very well. Keeper says boller to do a particular delivery and for that ball, he knew that how the batsman takes that ball and which direction the ball moves. Its keeper skill to understand both players.

[@abbasiabbasi7518]

Those cushions are called boundaries

[@4x4andfishing]

As far as moving as the ball is bowled is due to picking where the ball is pitched (where it will bounce) and depending on ball movement you get into angoid position as both batter and wicket keeper

[@kk-mt5ee]

Anticipation by feilder and acting before the batsman plays comes from the years of practice and experience. Many interviewers have asked cricketers they said it's the years of Hard work experience and gutt feeling is so strong

[@scyber_avatar]

Red Ball + White Jersey ---- Test Cricket White Ball + Colour Jersey --- ODI or T20 T20 did not exist before the early 2000s .. so if you see any older video of white ball + color jersey .. then its probably of ODI (i.e. One Day International)

[@nikhileshsurve7428]

5:53 Red Ball Cricket is basically First Class Cricket & Test Cricket is it's International format (They'll wear colourful All White like in Wimbledon). White Ball Cricket is basically Limited Overs Cricket which includes the 2 official international formats ODI: One Day International & T20I: Twenty 20 International (They'll wear colourful team uniforms). 9:23 No, the Fielders don't make the call over which Delivery should be Bowled but they're aware that the Ball is likely to head their way as their Field Positions were decided by the Bowler for a reason. It's the Bowler who decides which Delivery to Bowl basically predicting how the Batsman will react to it, in other words he's trying to force the Batsman to hit the Ball in the direction he has placed a Fielder to Catch the Ball. 10:36 But it's a bit different with the Wicket Keeper who's standing close to the Batsman/Batswoman studying their footwork & often can be seen advising the Bowler regarding which Delivery may be troubling the Batsman/Batswom. Same goes for other Fielders standing right next to the Wicket Keeper or the Batsman/Batswom, they too can co-ordinate with the Bowler sometimes. 15:02 In Cricket, the Pitch has a standard dimension so its size can't change. But the Outfield doesn't which is unfortunate coz this allows countries to bring the Boundary Lines in to get more 6s. This results in smaller Outfields on the same Cricket Ground than earlier days.

[@prashastbhatnagar8995]

size of the cricket grounds do vary, only the pitch area is fixed to be 22 yards. Boundaries of the grounds can vary from 50 to 80 meters from the batsman's position and the ground is not necessarily a circle with perfect radius all along, more often than not one side will be bigger than the other, granting both teams to play on the probabilities on when to go for a six and when to not , and same goes for the bowlin team, when to prompt for a six or not.

[@skibboshadow2670]

Taking catches is about reflexes, instinct, and experience: not about second-guessing and picking a direction to jump into. It could never work like that. Please watch more, my dear friends!

[@user-kt4zo1dw3l]

Andrew Strauss , as a slip catcher who are very close , had less than 1/2 of a second to see the ball, then go for it

[@marktvcturner2448]

They don't call shots as per baseball. But there is a lot of research and planning ahead of time from watching a lot of video. Batter 'x' reacts to a certain type of delivery in a certain way a lot of the time so they plan the field placements and strategies to best increase their chances of getting a favourable outcome. Cheers for the video!

[@martinconnors5195]

I used to play cricket for my school team. I was primarily a bowler and also a wicketkeeper

[@RichardGadsden]

As a wicket keeper (with gloves on) or a slip (standing next to the keeper, bare hands), you have a defined territory to cover. I've never kept wicket, so I can't really say for them, but as first (closest to the keeper) slip, you watch the outside edge of the bat (the edge away from the player). You're always expecting the ball to catch the edge and your job it to grab it, so you're anticipating that. If it hits the other edge (the inside edge), it's the keeper's ball anyway. Second slip watches the ball; they are supposed to judge height much more than a first slip (it's hard to judge height if you don't watch the bounce - but as first slip, the bat is physically in the way of your line of sight to the bounce). The thicker the edge, the wider it goes away from the line, and that also takes more speed off the ball, so there's more reaction time. So a first slip shouldn't be able to catch one above their head as there isn't time - you should be going down because the hardest catches are the low ones, where you have the least time, but prepared to bring your hands up to the chest. A second slip has a fraction of a second longer, giving them a chance to reach up for a catch. The wider you get, the further apart the slips should stand (they have more time, they can cover more ground) and the more you can expect in terms of acrobatic catches. Some of these are from like fifth slip or gulley (slips face forward; gulleys stand past the end of the slip line and turn to face the bat, ie standing more sideways) and those are positions where you expect that sort of thing. I'm not saying they're not great catches - but if you see a first slip grab one just above his head, that's as hard or harder than some of these where the fourth or fifth slip gets to show off their vertical. As you can probably tell, I was always first or second slip, and will very much stand up for the guys fielding there: you have to concentrate on every ball, you have to have reactions, and you don't get to pull off a dramatic catch that hits a highlight reel very often.

[@shailendramalik]

Couple of points If you know motor racing a test match is like Le Mans. It will test your technical ability, your patience, your judgement to pick the right ball to attack or leave or defend, selection of your shots and also your endurance. Regarding reacting to catches and anticipation you asked, for spinners for whom the wicket keeper is standing closer to the stumps, it has two primary factors, first is seeing this bowler in practice nets to know subtle changes in bowling styles, hand grips and sometimes the way they approach the crease before releasing the ball, and then second factor is to notice closely how the ball left the hand because that will determine if the bowler threw a ball that will behave differently with a normal grip and release to fool the batsman. These things help to anticipate sometimes.

[@benosborne2711]

Red Ball Test Cricket which you’re right goes for 5 days, White Ball is for limited overs which is 50 overs per side and t20 cricket 20 overs per side. Best catch I’ve seen was by former Australian Captain Mark Taylor. He falls on his back, kicks the ball up in the air and catches it while laying down. The ropes off area is called the boundary, if the ball goes over on the full the batter and team get 6 runs, but if the ball hits the ground before going over the rope the batter and team only get 4 runs

[@paulrichardson5892]

when a team does its homework they know the batters preferred shots, so they field accordingly. . sometimes the keeper gets a signal from the bowler.

[@tonyhyde2644]

i'd love to see a pro baseball game where no mitts are used

[@RealFansSports]

It would be interesting for sure. Their have been some bare handed catches, but nothing like these. I think most of the outfielders could probably adjsut, but infielders trying to field line drives coming off the bat at 100+mph would not be pretty. Amazing the strength adn guts that these guys have

[@justusbeets5130]

Its very very rare for someone to signal what they'll bowl. But good wicketkeepers get to keep to so many different batters that they read their movements well.

The fieldsman & bowler work on shining one side of the ball which & this makes the ball either swing in or out depending which way the shiny side is facing. The top class batsman watch the bowler to try & pick his grip as he is running in to bowl.

[@user-kt4zo1dw3l]

Captains and bowlers will place fielders in specific positions, then very often bowl in a way to force the batsmen to play shots that are forced or reckless or not comfortable for that batsman. Sometimes they will keep frustrating the batter until he just cracks and does something daft. - especially in one day cricket , when they could be chasing a high score and have to start taking risks

[@dansegelov305]

It's hard for the keeper to lead the bowler in cricket because there is a second batsman on the pitch facing him seeing any signals too. Generally, the fielding team's captain sets the field for particular types of bowling for particular batsmen and particular stages of the game. eg, bowling at the wickets encourages 'leg-side' shots, bowling wide of the wickets encourages 'off-side' hits. Ps you got the ball colour wrong. Red ball/all white clothing - Test match. White ball/coloured clothing limited overs.

[@bushie12]

The two players that will largely know how the ball is bowled is the batsman and the wicket keeper... Usually there is no signal between bowler and wicket keeper but the wicket keeper has a clear view of the ball movement plus he or she has a good view of the batsmen movement as well which a good wicket keeper will anticipate before hand and start moving into the direction of the shot

[@ayushbose599]

10:05 the bowler sets the fielders and bowls accordingly so the batter has to find gaps or hit over the fielders for a six and often when they are can't do it, the ball lands to the fielder, thus the reaction time.

[@thileepkumars]

I don’t know how you don’t see any sir Jadeja catches His catches are all in this compilation itself

[@kailashbisht3328]

Red Ball Cricket - Test, White Ball Cricket - ODI/50 Overs(300 Balls), T20 - T20/20 Overs - 120 Balls. Further classification of Ball in Cricket is there on youtube.. FYI

[@jasonjones3638]

Guys, I've got to say this is NOT the top 20 catches of all time. You HAVE to look up 'JONTY RHODES'. He wasn't a bowler, not the best batsman, but realistically, the first-ever player to be in a national team for intimidation in the field. He took better catches than all these top 20. He re-defined fielding as a weapon in cricket. Look up 'Jonty Rhodes impossible catches' - these catches are off the back of him in the 90s, making cricket coaches and sports science advance to make fielding better - he was 2 decades ahead of everyone.

[@danhumble9199]

Good reaction video thank you! Dan from England.

[@Narcospabloses]

Is cricket popular in England

[@reincarnated3d]

19:00 Its called the boundary, if the ball goes directly over it, its 6 runs but if it slides through, its 4 runs.

[@LugNut-wc9sf]

Yes, our hands are like leather. We do close practice drills with a batsmen hit a ball at us from weird angles one meter away.

[@pruthvimeka3259]

those catches at behind the wicket are called keeper (with gloves) catches or slip catches ( regular fielders). sometimes you can have 1 slip or you can have 6 slips. and those catches don't have a lot of time to react unlike catches off of a good stroke, because the ball is speeding away pretty fast.

[@Praveencapri]

They see the batsman's bat movement and get ready to take an optimal position to catch the ball

[@amandeepsinghmusic]

White ball cricket is short format cricket, which is T20 and One Day. Red ball cricket is test cricket which can last up to 5 days for a single match. When the players are wearing colorful jerseys it is white ball cricket and when the players are wearing white clothes, it is test cricket. Thank you 🙏❤

[@MichaelSorensen-bl3ec]

Fielding in close to the bat is actually very dangerous. When I was younger I suffered a fracture from being struck by that rock hard ball. Nowadays I wonder what could have been the result if it had hit my head instead of my arm.

[@theworldsgonecrazy234]

As a wicket keeper (catcher) myself you get used to the nuances of each of your bowlers and the lines and lengths they bowl along with the dynamics of the movement of their bowling, that after a short time you get in sync and anticipate which way to move ... if you don't know the bowler as well then you default to experience and instinct or a "generic" form of wicket keeping till you get used to them... it becomes second nature

[@ratulahmed2823]

After every over (6balls) either team captain or the bowler himself set the fielders at different positions according to the plan where he is going to deliver his ball or what kind of line or variation the bowler wants to . Its part of strategy, thats how keeper and other fielders can anticipate where the ball gonna be.

[@thileepkumars]

Tracking it reverse to catch is even tougher than running forward to catch a ball

[@nayeemswonder7349]

The bowler of the Catch number 9 was ICC cricket world cup champion for England now play for USA Cricket team.

[@mohitsingh8893]

The "Home run" thing you mentioned about is called "Boundary". I also observed that most catches were from Aus- England matches. They were really good ones but I think there are few other better and extraordinary catches from series' from other countries or leagues. Also World T20 is gonna be hosted in United States and West Indies, so you can watch them live this year.

[@colinstevens2691]

The pitches vary in size and shape, some are oval some are circular and others somewhere inbetween. Also ground usually have a number of wickets they play on (ie the bit between the 2 sets of stumps). Depending on which one they are using the boundary on one side of the wicket will often be nearer than the other side

[@jvvoid]

Another way is white clothes = test cricket, coloured clothing is limited overs. Unlike baseball it's a very rare occasion where a bowler or wicketkeeper will call where they want the next delivery. All cricket fields are a different size and sometimes shape. Great channel guys, keep up the good work. 👍

[@kramdoogs]

The reason a lot of the catchers throw the ball in the air is to show that they have control of the ball.

[@michaelayliffe7238]

Catch 7, first slip can see the ball in the bollers hand, the three straight, fourths one pushed to make the batter drive, yea the wickies clapped, straightened her hat etc

[@wizardplays8060]

In test cricket, the dress is white but the color of ball is red and in limited over format it's white ball

[@spider7665]

The Home Run line is called the Boundary. And if the ball goes over the boundary without bouncing, it's a Six. If the ball bounces before going over the boundary it's a four.

[@darylwallace9643]

The easiest way to distinguish Test cricket from One day and T20 is in Test cricket all the players wear white. In T20 and One day cricket they wear coloured clothing.

[@RealFansSports]

Thank you. I missed read the comment that explained that to us. so thats my bad. appreciate you watching the video and being kind in the comments about informing us on the correct distinciton

[@paulwhite3237]

All the ball has to do is contact the boundary or beyond without first touching the ground first. If it touches the ground on the way to the boundary it scores four runs. If it reaches the boundary or beyond without touching the ground it’s a six. If you touch the ground beyond the boundary with the ball in your hand the ball is deemed to have touched the ground, even if you are holding it at arms length above your head. That’s why the fielders try to throw the ball back into play before they hit the ground.

[@Shivian124]

18:57 the out of bounds area ... I think just boundary or boundary rope is common

[@rocketrabble6737]

White ball (with coloured clothing) is limited overs cricket: 50 overs, 40 overs and T20 Red Ball (with white/cream clothing) is traditional cricket: Test, first class and the majority of recreational cricket around the world.

[@pruthvimeka3259]

the hardest part of a bare handed catch is when you land and your elbow knocks on the ground by reflex you let go of the ball. and if the ball is wet it is hard to trap the ball. so it is much harder to catch it than with gloved in base ball where the ball is automatically trapped in the glove. sometimes it gets stuck in the glove. so yea bare handed catches keeps the viewers in suspense all the way to the end.

[@helenmckeetaylor9409]

The "outer edge" around the ground is called the "Boundary" 👍🏻 Good vid guys👌🏼

[@zenokada2278]

All cricket grounds have different dimensions Some with slopes as well Also the geography and climate around the pitch massively impact the conditions and nature of the pitch which is a huge change to the game Winning in a different area or country is really hard

[@Indiefilmclub394]

The best catch in the world is Keron Pollard boundry line catch playing for Mumbai Indians. It was the biggest jump near the rope, throwed it in and then ran atleast 7-8 big steps and another incredible impossible dive to seal the deal. No other catches compare to it because only the guy of his size could have pulled that off. No Jadeja, No Monty, Mc Cullam or anyone else simply wouldnt have reached that height.

[@hpremjit]

Anticipation of direction of a hit ball, it all depends on the baller, how a baller is going to ball. The field (location of fielders) setting is also according to the baller.

[@robertlancaster5447]

There is iften an agreed upon plan as to where bowlers will bowl to specific batsmen but tgete is bit usially any signallong. Between overs or between balls the caotoan or the wicketkeeper can chat to the bowler. 😊

[@feldegast]

Small correction, red ball cricket can be ODI 50 overs, T20 or Super8 matches, Super8 was before T20 and has disappeared leaving T20 and 50 over matches in the current game on TV...

[@michaelturner623]

Red Ball is for test cricket where they wear white uniforms. white ball is for 1 dayers and t20 where they wear coloured uniforms ( limited overs).

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

The funniest part of this video is watching yanks trying to figure out what English lingo means. A "corker".. just means a good shot.
