Ex-Professional Baseball Player Reacts To The Top Run Outs In Cricket! ft. Alex King

We are back!
I react to some of the Top Run Outs in Cricket and was amazed as to some of the similarities between baseball and cricket! I am loving reacting to Cricket highlights! Let me know what you want me to react to next!
As mentioned in the beginning of the video, I have decided to retire from baseball following my release from the Arizona Diamondbacks. I'm very excited for the future and can't wait to publish more content for you!

"I don't like how they go to the box every other play to make sure it's out." *two seconds later* "That looks safe. Oops."

[@nnnnnn496]

You always gotta be sure in 🏏.

[@SandeepSingh-je5mj]

@RexyBing Hey if u are reacting to run outs and calling out cricket on getting box reviews everytime (according to u). U should have probably watch one or two matches and see for yourself how frequent it is reviewed. All these are just replays for TV audience and not reviews.You should put some efforts in research before calling out ( calling out once would have been forgiven but kept repeating it)

[@jeremykothe2847]

With the geometry of the bat itself and various angles, it's nearly impossible for a human eye to catch and judge the exact moment of crossing the line vs the stumps breaking. Before instant replay (which cricket pioneered), the batsman always got the 'benefit of the doubt'. The main reason they introduced it was frankly because tv was showing up the umpires.

[@m4lev0lentdem0nknightamv5]

@@nnnnnn496 In base ball the ball and the player both are directed to the same point sothere is no problem for the umpire to judge it but in cricket There are two different things separated by a distance , the batsman does not have to reach the point where the stumps are and the ball needs to go further away from the boundary line , There are two things to concentrate on rather than one like in baseball so humans are not capable to watch both accurately . Secondly a team gets only 1 review per innings and is mostly decided by the captain , one should be careful with asking for the review . What you saw is the use of technology in cricket , there are devices that trace the trajectory of the ball , there are cameras everywhere inside the field , this is a replay just like replays in WWE , its purpose is to relay every small detail in the sequence up close .

[@callumtaylor_bmt]

In my opinion Baseball has 27 ‘wickets’ which could be close. With cricket being just the 10 to take in a game, it’s more important the decision is right

1. The glowing ball is used in the new format of Test cricket, day-night cricket. The red ball is too hard to see at night, so the pink ball was brought in as it lasts longer than the white ball. 2. Whilst you may choose to go to the wickets closer to you often, when fielding square of the wicket, you are taught to go to the furthest wickets as you will have three stumps to aim at, not just one. Ponting was the best at this, never missed the non-strikers end from point/cover 3. You bounce it for a few reasons, firstly it is easier to gather for the keeper if they need to remove the bails, and secondly it eliminates more the chance of error (like in Baseball when someone throws an easy ground out into the stands). Aim to bounce it and that won't happen! 4. Cricket is slower than baseball, so it doesn't effect play too much when a review is called. Also they are quick, unlike in the MLB when they take forever when Angel ***** up a call at first. I'm a paid umpire at semi-pro level and the rule of thumb is: direct hits ar eout unless they are clearly safe, lmao. Umpires and players both agree - it avoids arguments for the most part. 5. Communication is key, just like in Baseball where they will be telling short or second base where to throw, the whole team will be communicating and telling the fielders where to throw - usually by saying, "Keeper," or, "Bowler" 6. The last run-out is so impressive, it's a bowler who has bowled all day in 100f heat. Be like a pitchers throwing a complete game, and his last out in the 9th was that play (plus Bowling is more taxing than pitching, imo) If you love these there is a LONG video on youtube of every Ricky Ponting dismissal. Arguably there have been better fielders, but Ponting had the best arm I have ever seen. He never missed over 30 yards. You have to enjoy fielding if you want to play cricket, as the majority of your career is spent in the field, some of my best memories are run-outs. Hope everything goes well for you, man. And stay safe

[@waynec3563]

"4. Cricket is slower than baseball" I went to a couple of MLB games on trips to the US and would say that the time it takes to have 6 pitches in baseball is about the same amount of time for an over to be bowled by a fast bowler. It could be faster, but it isn't.

[@waynec3563]

"2. Whilst you may choose to go to the wickets closer to you often, when fielding square of the wicket, you are taught to go to the furthest wickets as you will have three stumps to aim at, not just one. Ponting was the best at this, never missed the non-strikers end from point/cover" I think the decision, for better fielders, is usually based on which end is more likely to produce a run-out. Then it might be which batsman do they want out. Then go for the easier option. Lesser skilled or experienced fielders may choose the easier option because they may not have as good awareness of what the batsmen are doing. Watching square of the wicket fielders, particularly point fielders, the angle they approach the wicket is often from behind square, angled more to the bowler's end, making the bowler's end the easier option. I think Ponting had about 80 run-outs with 60 direct hits in his career. For several years the Australian team had as an assistant coach Mike Young, who had coached the Australian baseball team.

Best format but not for beginners to check out

[@markwestaway7207]

Originally countries had their own umpires. Complaints came about 'home town decisions' (and yes, some of them were shockers). The International Cricket Council introduced neutral umpires. The third party reviews came about because some of the decisions were close and a wrong decision can have big impacts. The umpires are scared of getting the decision wrong, so are happy to send it upstairs. There is also a review process the captains can use if they aren't happy with the decision.

[@hayvebromier2158]

You made some great observations in this video. One thing to ruminate on: many people get this wrong, but one of the keys to understanding the difference between cricket and baseball is that bowling is an inherently "worse" way to deliver the ball than pitching *in the same way* that a baseball bat is an inherently "worse" tool for hitting the ball than a cricket bat. When I say "worse," I mean "with more physical limitations." This one fact allows you to derive reasons for almost every other aspect about the game; why cricket is a batter's game while baseball is the pitcher's/fielder's game, why the field and the equipment are designed and balanced in the way they are, etc. If you understand this, you break free of the constant need to compare with respect to better/worse (you're certainly not doing this, but many do) and can really appreciate the fine points of both games with depth, precision, and clarity.

[@NewFalconerRecords]

Bloody well said!

[@vaudevillian7]

[@dhrumil2090]

They review because run outs are so rare in cricket, they maybe only happen once a match! May as well get the call correct when its not going to make the game longer! The clips just make it seem like its a very common occurrence like it is in baseball!

[@jeremyharris4021]

When an umpire stuffs up and they could have hast reviewed it it's embarrassing, so they just review every time.

[@nnnnnn496]

It's the epitome of Fielding in cricket. Getting run outs in a match is the hardest part of good Fielding.

[@AntV21]

Agree that most of them are tight, but I've definitely seen a few run-outs where they're out by a metre and they'll still go upstairs. Wouldn't be surprised if the umpires have been told they have to review it just in case unless they're halfway down the pitch!

[@Cream147player]

Yeah, in baseball you're making these sorts of calls possibly tens of times per game. In cricket, it might be once or twice. Best to just get it right, especially as the impact of a wrong decision is also larger than in baseball (10 outs vs 27 per side in a game)

[@coast2coast00]

During the playoffs in the NHL every goal is reviewed by the league in Toronto. Sometimes they even reset the game if they see a goal was missed and play has continued. Canadian football also does this I believe, now days it only takes 20 seconds most times to have a separate team of video judges check to make sure(the play is stopped naturally for this long anyway). The fans like it because it doesn't slow down the game as it's a separate team of people looking at replays and the right call is always made.

[@salmann75]

Reason the umpire always goes for the “box review” (aka Third Umpire) in these examples is bcos these close calls happen so irregularly in cricket, so they want to make sure they get the decision correct. Unlike baseball where every time they run to first they need to make a snap decision or it would take way too long.

[@bhavyakabade]

also the fact that 3rd umpire decisions today with the technology implemented take about only 30 seconds of game time, and even if EACH AND EVERY wicket (20 in a game) were reviewed in a T20 match, that would only mean about 10 minutes longer to a game which is already around 3 hours long

[@greyman3515]

My favourite of your cricket based videos. I agree that the umpires go to the review on calls that they should be able to make. They get so much criticism if they get it wrong though it is better to be sure, even if you have the slightest doubt. There is no way you can tell from a players reaction on a close call.

[@Dpm_2005]

Yes, they get to keep the one run as long as they have taken it fair and square. It doesn't matter if the players then get out while running the second run.

[@waylander_90]

Much love from an Australian cricket fan, glad to hear you're healing up, and wishing good luck for the future man! I'll be sure to swing by the twitch soon

[@chriswatson7965]

If you are run out on the 2nd run, the first still counts. The issue with the umpires using a video replay to determine a run out arose from TV replays highlighting clear mistakes being made by umpires. When an umpire made a string of mistakes it lead to complaints of the match being "ruined" and general disatisfaction of all involved. Once the umpires had the ability to use the video replay it became overused and now on field decisions are rarely made.

[@bamboodread4243]

[@Driskyle]

Great review! Looking forward to the next one

[@gregm6940]

The box review, is known as the third umpire. As someone who has umpired in a local cricket league. I can tell you, without a doubt, that making those calls in real time is often impossible! The rule of thumb is ‘if in doubt, not out’.. however, this has led to many thousands of incorrect decisions. Hence the 3rd umpire is entirely necessary in professional matches. And it’s use to be encouraged in all close calls. I do agree, that sometimes umpires do use it when it’s a obvious call, but that happens less often than you think. Also, the use of the 3rd umpire is limited to certain calls. For example, they are only allowed to make decisions regarding ‘fall of wickets’ (out calls) for run outs, lbws and catches. They can also aid in decisions regarding the ball crossing the boundary. They are not allowed to make any other calls for any reason. Field umpires are solely responsible for this. In the 2019 World Cup final, New Zealand sadly lost (in the best game of cricket in history) by a extra run incorrectly awarded to England by the field umpires. Had of nz been allowed to review that decision, they would have won. It was a incredible game, guttered by the result😭

[@mathewdeering]

Yep. Kiwis were fucking robbed.

[@jandrewhill63]

You are right. Outs (wickets) in Cricket are much rarer and far more valuable. A typical score in long form, traditional (proper???) cricket is 300-9 in one innings which means 300 runs scored for the loss of 9 wickets. So, for top batsmen, there is a stamina question as well, as they could start batting at 11am and still be batting at 6.30pm, with only a 40 minute break for lunch and 20 minute break for tea and three 5 minutes drink breaks on the pitch. It takes enormous concentration. They maybe face 250 balls in that time.

[@jasonbourne7164]

[@PBMS123]

[@dawnrazornephilim]

I'm an Aussie, quite a few cricketers played baseball in the offseason during the 80's, 90's and 2000's, mostly the batsmen. A lot of the processes are similar, especially fielding. If I remember correctly during the early 90's, we had a baseball coach from the states as our fielding coach for the national team for a number of years.

[@flamingfrancis]

If you are ever in the Long Room at the MCG make sure you see the photograph of Bradman's Invincibles from 1948. They are all in baseball uniforms having played against a Melbourne selection of grade baseball players. Neil Harvey, who was the baby of Bradman's team, was a Victorian State baseball player as was at least one of his brothers...read the story of the Harvey brothers. Ian Chappell was a SA State baseball player and his brothers were grade players. Allan Border and brother played grade baseball with Mosman. Finally the great Victor Trumper used to play top level baseball in Sydney pre WW1 years. Very few baseballers played at the level of earlier players in cricket after the Australian Baeball League was first introduced in 1989. Elite players often played the local season then moved to Major or Minor or college Leagues in the USA. The coach you mention was named Mike Young. Mike came to Oz to coach Perth in the ABL mentioned. He also coached the Australian olympic team in 1996 and then went into Cricket Australia. More recently he has coached in the IPL.

[@davehocking4091]

Nice video bro, enjoyed it. A few things - The balls often bounce into the stumps because you're always taught to aim at the base of the stumps. This is designed to stop your throw going over the top of the stumps. Like you said too its often easier for the wicket keeper or whoever is at the stumps to take the ball cleanly. - If they batsman is run out attempting the second run, yes they do get to keep the first. - They often go for the 'other end' because the fielders yell out which end to throw to (bowler or keeper). The other fielders all have a good view of the runners so can communicate, i guess similar to baseball. - They do go to the box (3rd umpire) too often but sometimes it can be deceiving and the umpire has to watch the stumps and crease at the same time. These plays dont happen very often like a baseball runner either so people dont usually mind waiting. The runners arent forced to run at all so often there are no runouts at all in a game.

Commenting after just watching the intro. 1. Wish you a full recovery. 2. Wishing you the best luck for your next endeavor. I can only imagine how tough it is for an athlete to retire. Hope you find something that you love to do. 3. Congrats of getting hitched! Edit after watching. The point about outs being more common in baseball is what helped me appreciate the sport when I started watching it. I also heard that those who know cricket and soccer should treat baseball scores like a high scoring soccer game rather than a cricket game. Before I heard these analogies, baseball seemed so boring. But I had started to enjoy watching the game. Still confused by all the leagues. We rarely get baseball coverage in India any more since ESPN started to cater to "local-only" content. There is still some coverage at odd hours, I hear. But don't have cable any more. I watched a few El Mago clips, and wow - some were just incredible. TY for the info.

Top video as always bloke, best of luck with your new career and hope you're back at full fitness asap

[@Tomhockman]

the reason they go to review for alot of run outs is because most run outs happen at the non-strikers/bowlers end and because the umpire is standing behind the stumps they have to quickly move side on so alot of the time they aren't in position to make a call confidently and the reason they sometimes go for the further away is because the non striker typically gets a head start so you have a better chance of the getting the batsman who faced the ball out at the bowlers end

[@fouried96]

"The line is the fielder's" because a batsman is out of his ground if he isn't touching the ground inside the line. The crease is the inside edge of the line, so just touching the line is not enough.

[@duke_hugo]

The other thing that makes runouts in cricket rare is that the batsman doesn’t have to run if they don’t want to. So any runout must in some way involve a mistake from the batsman.

[@redbalmy2865]

Yeah, sometimes a batsman usually panic too when a ball is nearby on fielder's hand but the other batsman is running so you just go with it...

Hey, interesting reactions as always. Have you considered doing more of a Q&A video with someone who knows more about cricket? Especially if they didn't know much about baseball, so it can go in both directions and discuss the different feels of what are two quite similar games. Both are bat and ball, are sometimes derided as "boring" and "slow" by fans of territory based ball games, and both have a ton of subtlety in strategy and technique that it takes loads of experience as a fan (or player) to learn to see. PS I would do that but I'm no pro cricketer! 😂

[@silverrahul]

1. It is not a glowing ball. It is a pink ball which is used precisely for the reason that it has better contrast and almost appears to glow in the evening floodlights. Test matches are played during the day and generally use the dark red maroon balls. But when they started to propose day night test matches, they realised the dark red does not have good visibility during evening or under floodlights, so they proposed the bright pink ball. But there have been lots of objections saying it moves different and has different mechanics so has not yet been adopted completely. 2. The clip where you said, why the fielder went for a throw to the farther end than to the nearer end . The 2 obvious things i could see were firstly that his momentum was carrying him in the direction of the farther end and he was also facing that way, so it would have been more time consuming to turn around toward nearer end. Secondly, he was square on to the nearer end , so from his angle the cross section of the wickets would have been reduced to just one stump whereas the farther end was straight ahead so the cross section of the wickets gave him 3 stumps to aim at, hence the target was almost 5 times bigger. A less obvious factor could have been that the batsman running to the farther end might have been a stronger or more established batsman , while the other guy might have been a tailender, so he would go for the more prized dismissal of the stronger batsman. 3. About bouncing the ball rather than throwing it without hitting the ground. They do not do it for the keeper as do it even when there is no keeper. I don't know how to explain this but it is actually easier to bounce it. Just try throwing balls at something like wickets, You will see it is the case. The main reason is if you think of the cross sectional area that you can throw at to hit the wicket , you want to throw at center of that area. imagine if the 3 wickets were hanging in the air or you are not allowed to bounce , then that area will be the exact area of the 3 wickets, so you would throw straight to center of wickets through the air. But, since , the wickets are on the ground, this cross sectional " target area" is stretched much more from the foot of the wicket toward the thrower since any throws in this area will also bounce up and hit the wickets , so the center of this area will be somewhere on the ground near the foot of the wickets. That is why fielders aim for that area on the ground in front of the wickets. Again i do not think all of them understand why they do it but they instinctively know this is more effective from their years of playing cricket throughout their life. 4. The referees going for 3rd umpires is a pet peeve of mine as well. I remember when i was a kid, they only used to refer to 3rd umpire when it was really close. This was because the technology was not good then and frame rates were very low, so it would take the 3rd umpires a long time to decide as they kept moving the frames forward and backward. But now with advent of modern technology, it has become quicker for 3rd umpire to make decisions which has led to them being referred to even in the most obvious run outs. 5. When they get run out on 2nd run, they get to keep the 1st run. 6. Runs are not very rare because one innings can have 250-350 runs. But there are only 10 outs in one innings. So yes, an out is much more decisive and game changing than few runs. Hence, out is celebrated wildly. You said you were baseball player. Were you more of a pitcher or hitter ? If you pitched , watch this , it shows bowling grip and technique of one of the greatest leg spinners in cricket kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6qriWp9qNeAotE Btw, i wanted to ask what is the role of catcher in baseball pitches where ball does not hit bat? Does he have to catch it ? What happens if he fumbles it or drops it ?

[@silverrahul]

@Popcorn Warrio 1 . Pink balls are used in some places for better contrast. 2. Fielders sometimes go for the farther wickets because either they have better angle of throw towards it or the stronger batsman is running toward it. 3. Fielders bounce the ball before the wicket , because it helps accuracy. 4. Nowadays , referees use video replays even for obvious decisions. 5. When they get run out on 2nd run, they get to keep the 1st run. 6. Outs are much more rare than runs, hence celebrated wildly

[@alistermelville9742]

The reason for the reviews in cricket is because they happen once or twice per match and the umpire has to move from their original position to see from the correct angle while a baseball umpire is always there watching only one base. You can see in most of the clips that the run out has already happened and the umpire has barely been able to move

[@tacit-bq3ms]

Run outs don’t really occur too much in professional cricket, maybe one per match potentially two in a t20 game, where the objective is to score runs really quickly. Box reviews tend to be used because of the speed at which the game is played. If you go and watch a professional cricket match in real life, the ball travels so quickly that it’s hard to see (especially in test cricket, where the ball is red) Therefore umpires want to make sure that the decisions they make are correct.

There is a combo of things to look for when deciding which set of stumps to throw at: a) the distance of the runners from there crease (the line), & since the non striker starts talking a few steps in anticipation of running as the bowler is about to release the ball, & the striker has to play the shot, you know who's probably closer, plus if you know some runners are quicker/slower, but the main thing is the angle of picking up the ball, possibly having to turn (wasting time as the distance between the creases isn't that far), then if you're throwing side on you've only got 1 stump to aim at vs 3 if you can throw at the front/back, & if there's a teammate to knock the ball onto the battle if you miss is a minor thing! Yes you do keep the runs you have completed if before being run out (but not for catches), also it determines who faces the next ball (the non outed batsmen or the new one! The pink ball is halfway between the white & red, it's a recent addition for day-night games. They do use the the 3rd umpire a lot for run outs, but it's to be 100℅sure, also the bat does have to be over the line, but also must be touching the ground (like rugby if you want to watch any of that), there are a few incidents where that occurs (bat over line but above ground), & you can guess what the batsmen feels like.

Dude! The celebration is twofold. Firstly it’s very difficult to get a player out at all in cricket. So any out is celebrated wildly. But then a run out off a direct hit where the fielder often can only see 1 stump - well it’s pretty amazing. Can’t compare to baseball because baseball fielders don’t have to hit a target which is only an inch wide!

[@TehStormOG]

to me its similar to someone throwing someone out from the outfield in baseball, the target is bigger but the distances are greater too

[@bharathram]

When you say that it is interesting that fielders go for the farther end, one of the main reasons they do so is because of the following reason: The angle of the throw which means, one angle gives you only one stump to aim at , the other end might give you three stumps to aim at .3 stumps are much easier to hit than 1

[@vishrutpoddar4446]

Glowing ball is the new Pink Ball used for day night test matches. The reason being the extra shine makes it more visible. With run outs every completed run will count regardless. So at the point mentioned, the team and player will get one run added to their score even though the player was run out while going for the second run.

When throwing at the stumps players get taught to aim at the bottom on the stumps so if the throw is low it will bounce and hit the stumps and if the throw is high it will hit the stumps on the full and not go over

[@Hitesh001100]

These 3rd umpire calls/Box reviews have been recently used more often. Back in the early days, the umpire used to make the decision then and there itself. I think coz over the years these umpires have lost their credibility with the new high speed cameras and new rules like 'reviews' used in the field. Adding up all these maybe umpires have self doubt making such decisions.

You are correct about the method of aiming to bounce the ball before the stumps. If you miss it gives the team mates backing up the chance to gather it.

The orange ball is recently introduced to cricket as it is used for playing for day & night 5 day test match, earlier test match is only play in day light. Yes you keep that one run if you run out on second run.

[@oddsquadbaker4497]

I love your cricket reactions

[@GuitaristOnWheels]

I play cricket for a disabled team and we are taught to bounce it in as the target is the base of the stumps, so that’s why so many bounce in, if you aim for the base then it can only bounce onto the stumps. Also the aiming for the opposite end is also the 3 stump vs 1 stump target. If you’re looking at the other end and are face onto the stumps you have a wider target to hit than end on with one stump.

[@tcroft2165]

One reason its often easier to throw to the non striking batsmans end is that the non striking batsman backs up as the bowler delivers so is already moving well down the pitch toward the facing batsman. The facing batsman has to start moving from stationary so is a little slower to reach the non striking batsman's end.

Any completed runs count toward the score. Besides, to make your ground as a batsman, you have to fully cross the line with any part of body/bat

[@ryanburr8419]

I have nothing but respect for fielding in baseball. In the last 20 years or so fielding in cricket has improve immeasurably and I believe a lot of the better throwing mechanics are due to getting baseball coaches to improve technique. One thing which makes a run out more difficult in cricket is that you have to hit the stumps to get the out and it's even more difficult when you're square of the wicket as you only have one stump to hit vs three when you're behind the wicket. In baseball you have a person on the base who can stretch in case your throw isn't perfect. I'm not saying cricket is more difficult than baseball at all, just that run outs are difficult to execute and rarer than this video might lead you to believe.

[@deanwinchester5982]

As an Englishman who loves cricket ( all 3 formats) have to say your videos are far better than any other of our American cousins videos on cricket, well played sir 😎 happy to help you with any nuance about cricket if required just message me

[@panda2349]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but one reason why the fielders bounce it into the stumps is because the main surface they play on, referred to the square which is a harder surface than the outfield grass, makes the ball speed up when the ball is thrown into it. You are also taught to aim for the base of the stumps and as the ball skids off the surface it increases the chance of hitting that base. In other circumstances it can also make it easier for the wicket keeper to catch them, bouncing it a bit further away from them and skidding into them. (Y)

[@KAlpha09]

One of the reasons for fielders to strike at stumps further away is due to the presence of fielders behind the stumps who can save them from overthrows (if they miss)

[@michaelfountain2620]

Also it's a pink ball used in Day/night cricket. A pink ball with black seams. And the reasons behind bouncing the ball is throwing a cricket ball in the air has natural swing and bouncing a ball a few feet before the stumps eliminates the swing and you get more control with the ball.

[@returnofsg]

When u get out taking that second or third run, you do score the completed run i.e 1 run if u r out taking the 2nd etc...

[@Wookiee925]

They sometimes go for the far one rather for the close one because where the fielder is standing the far wicket you seeing front on so have 3 stumps to aim at while the closer one you next to so you seeing from the side so only have one stump to aim at.

[@jacobfenwick337]

The pink ball or (glowing) ball is a day night the test match ball... usually day night test matches will generate more swing when the ball is bowled a medium or fast bowler due to higher levels of humidity during the afternoon/dusk session.

[@davidclerk4132]

Another point to remember is that unlike the USA the rest of the world.plays cricket and rugby.etc so when you are umpiring international.games you better make sure the call is 100 per cent.

[@capitalb5889]

Cricket fielding has learnt a lot from baseball over the years - the techniques employed today are far more advanced than when I first watched cricket in the 1980s. It was probably the most neglected area of the game. Players now throw better and stop balls better. As you mentioned, a run or two is no big deal in cricket, and so the focus was on the bowling and preserving wickets.

[@voltaire1211]

On the matter of how they decide which end to throw at on the fly... You actually get a lot of communication from your teammates calling either 'bowler' or 'keeper' to help you react to which end to throw... So you have a lot of eyes on the play and generally the same call and consensus from your team...

[@flamingfrancis]

Rexy would know all about that. Little Leaguers are coached to learn which of the four bases they have to throw to. The situation changes with every pitch thrown so it is far more complex than cricket.

[@gamortie]

2:20 for normal daylight test matches, they use a red cricket ball; for short form, especially day/night matches, they use a white ball. For Adelaide tests, they run day/night - the only one in the world, currently - so they go half way between, with a pink ball

[@dantheman9228]

The reason you try to bounce the ball into the wicket is so that another player either the wicket keeper or the bowler depends on the end can back up your throw because if you miss and it goes to the boundary the batting team gets 4 plus the runs they scored before your throw,they can also run over throws if you miss and another player has to then chase after it.

[@siyabongamchunu4342]

Fielders also do their homework on which players run better between the wickets. That extends beyond just knowing the slower runner but also knowing which batsmen is a bit more indecisive when running and which batting partnerships come with tension in the relationship. For example, some batsmen are more willing to sacrifice their teammates than others while running. All of that plays into it.

[@sepuljason]

G'Day Rexy. The reason why they go to replays for just about every decision is you only bat once, Cricket is game geared toward attack (scoring) whereas Baseball is a game geared toward defence (fielding)

The non facing batsman usually starts running as the bowkeertis at the end of his action this giving him an extra headstart thats wgy the fiekder will tryu go for the runout where the batsmen who hit the ball is running tok because he's usualky on the backfoot off the shot

[@louislynge]

In baseball the ref can generally make a decision easier because everything is in one little area (tagging the plate / person before the base it touched).. Whereas in cricket, the ref needs to run to the side (about 10-15 yards away from the stumps) and the wickets are 1-2 yards away from the crease.. It is difficult to tell sometimes.

[@jafrost1328]

the replay is just for us to see the different angles as often as it is for review

[@robconnell68]

The orange ball is for day/night test matches and if they get run out going for a second run they still get the first completed run . It’s easier to judge a runout in baseball as the umpire looks at the base and listens for the sound of ball hitting glove , in cricket it’s harder to judge that’s why they go to the replay more often.

[@spdcrzy]

Yes - the last full run goes up on the board if one of the batsmen is run out in the process of trying to score a second or or third.

[@guhansg]

The reason we go for "Third Umpire review" is that most of the time the umpires are not in a favorable position to decide if it's out or not, in baseball you have umpires in position but in cricket, the "Front Umpire" who is standing in Straight to the batsmen has to watch No Ball (which is bowlers foot crossing the line), watch where the ball pitches and then see where the ball hits as it's required in the case of an LBW appeal, further he will have to move to the opposite side of the direction in which the ball was hit to have a clear view. These happen within seconds in some instances for which the Third Umpire is referred to. When we have the technology its good to put it to use. There are quite a few controversial calls even from a Third Umpire which is an added drama to the game.

[@davidpercy9926]

Hey there. You asked why they short hop the ball. We bounce it because it roughs up the leather. You try and polish one side of the ball with sweat and by rubbing it on your pants because that makes each half of the ball aerodynamically different. One side is smooth and aerodynamic , the other rough and draggy. This makes one side travel through the air faster and is how you get the ball to swing and curve when you bowl. If you look at the last run out in the video you can see an older ball that is very shined and smooth on one side, and rough on the other. So to assist the fast bowlers you bounce the ball when you can to help degrade the leather. If it bounces on the wrong side you shine the scuff out. Love your videos and have seen you ask about the curve they create when bowling, thats how they do it. And if you get it just perfect the ball will curve one way, and if you can get it to land on the sticking, it may deviate the other way when it bounces.When the ball states to curve a lot you give it to your fastest bowler and put half the fielders behind the batter, hopefully he just clips it and the ball flys backwards.

[@TheAcdcninja]

2:30 he probably goes for the stumps that are further partly because his momentum is carrying him that way (any time saved by throwing to the nearer stumps is probably negated by having to twist and lose some of that momentum) but the main reason is because by throwing to the far ones he’s got the full face of the stumps to hit. If he were to flick it sideways at the nearest stumps, he’s pretty much side on and would effectively only have a single stump width target, but his target is the full three stumps wide if he just carries on forward

[@JusCals]

Before replay revision the batsman always got the "benifit of the doubt". Now its a bit more exciting with batsman under more pressure and fielders more likely to go for the wickets more often where before they may have held back in fear of overthrows if it was going to be super close.

[@elpacko7687]

They throw to what you describe as the opposite end, known as the non-strikers end because the person who strikes the ball initiates the running which means they are much further down the track than the non-striker

[@shadowmonk796]

Really sorry to hear about your accident and retire. I hope you get back on your feet

[@jonathanevans5115]

Throwing in on the bounce has 2 main benefits: as you guessed it's easier for the keeper to gather, but it also scuffs up the ball, which can help bowlers get lateral movement later in the innings. If the batsman's safe and the ball hits the stumps and ricochets to the boundary, that's 4 free runs (added to what has already been run) - the same is true for a wild throw that misses everyone, so the bounce throw helps mitigate that risk by bringing the keeper (and, more so, the player without gloves backing up at the holder's end) into play. Yes, any completed runs still count when there's a run out (notably in last year's world cup, both normal time and the 'overtime' super over came down to 2 to win off the last ball, with two run outs causing the tie that was controversially broken by boundary countback). For the decision on which end to throw to, keepers is the default (gloves), but the fielder will be listening for a call from a teammate with a better view to throw bowlers end instead. Having the match awareness to know which batsman is slower, which of them has the job of calling for the run, whether the shot the batsman has played leaves him in a position to set off quickly, etc. all help though.
