[@thejesusaurus6573]

​@@HairySack98 Jomboy has lots of videos out there explaining cricket in baseball terms, and he still uses terms to some degree that are intended for a north American audience, but he cant break down every rule in every video it would be obnoxious and destroy the flow of the narrative. If you are that interested you have the tools to find htis information yourself. The point here is hes selling us the narrative of the match, and thats something sportsfans of any stripe can understand even if you don't know the rules of the sport. A dot ball is a delivery from a bowler (pitcher) which scores 0 runs. Marked on a scoresheet as a dot. This is a good delivery for the bowler. A wide is a delivery that is considered too far from the stumps to be playable by the battsman, it awards the batting team 1 run and the bowler must deliver the ball again, it doesnt count toward the alotted 6 delivers for the over. A run is what points are called in cricket. A run is awarded when the ball is hit into play and the 2 batsmen are able to run between the wickets and change positions, this is one run. However runs can be scored as above if a wide is delivered (or no ball, an illegal delivery). They can also be scored if the batsman hits the ball to the boundary (4 automatic runs) or over the boundary (6 authomatic runs) without needing to phsically run for those points

[@HalfNoodley]

Umpire's call means less than half the ball disagrees with the Umpires decision. It must be over 50% of the ball hitting the wickets to overturn. The reason the first LBW was umpires call was because the ball must hit his leg in line with the wickets to be able to call it LBW. So the fact it was going on to hit the wickets was irrelevant. Jomboy's overlay at the end was a bit confusing because the first LBW was not called on the ball hitting the wickets at all.

[@psymar]

Thank you, I didn't know that bit of the rule, I thought the "umpire's call" was in whether the ball maybe grazed the bat.

[@mission101]

and for those wondering, the reason for the 50% rule is because of margin of error with the technology. The points of impact have to be decided manually by the review system crew which is complex as the ball is usually hitting the pads or another curved/non-flat surface and the impact can occur between frames on the camera replay. There are also unknowns about the projected trajectory due to other environmental variables, so >50% has been decided as the acceptable minimum

Just an FYI if the ball hits the pad outside the line of off stump it’s not out. Which is what happened in this case. Also if the ball hits the bat before pad or hits the pitch outside leg stump it’s not out. Very hard to get LBW from this angle. The ball can hit the pitch outside off.

[@joshbaker8970]

You can be out LBW if you're hit outside the line of off stump, but only if you don't play a shot at the ball. As Labuschagne was playing a shot the line was relevant.

[@braydenyee9388]

its worth mentioning that this is only when a shot is offered. If a batter does not offer a shot, it doesn't matter if the impact is on the offside, though this is not common

[@shostrock]

The umpire's call at 2:15 is because part of the ball has to be hitting the batter within the line of the stumps to be given out. A tiny fraction of the ball is hitting the batter within the line of the stumps, so that's an umpires call (if more than half of the ball is in line, then the review would have given it out). An exception is if the batter is playing no shot, then they can be out if the ball hits them outside the off stump. Outside of the leg stump is never out

[@AndyGraceMedia]

Yeah but the tiny little detail missing with the first LBW decision is the ball struck Marnus fractionally OUTSIDE THE LINE of off stump. It was actually a really good call from the ump, even if the ball was going on to hit the stumps, there was definitely doubt about whether the ball struck his pad whilst in line with off-stump and whenever there's doubt ... the rule is it's not out. Second LBW was marginal but close enough to be confirmed by the replay system. A fantastic breakdown Jimmy of a really excellent battle between the guile of the left arm "Chinaman" leg-spin/wrist spin bowler Shamsi and the Aussie boys. (PS. I know it can be confusing :) even for many cricket fans!)

[@mithrasrevisited4873]

It's umpires call if the ball is close but the technology is not perfect and it can have errors.

[@vikramvega]

In general there are two ways to spin the ball as a spin-bowler, which are finger-spin and wrist-spin. In finger-spin the ball is released from the front of the hand and the spin on the ball is generated by flicking the fingers across the ball. In wrist-spin the ball is released from the back of the hand and the spin is generated by rolling the wrist. So considering there are left-hand and right-hand bowlers, we now have these 4 possible combinations. 1) Right arm finger spin: This is called "off-spin". The ball turns in to a right-hand batter, and turns away from a left-hand batter. 2) Right arm wrist spin: This is called "leg-spin". The ball turns away from a right-hand batter, and turns in to a left-hand batter. 3) Left arm finger spin: This is called "left-arm orthodox". The ball turns away from a right-hand batter, and turns in to a left-hand batter. 4) Left arm wrist spin: This is called "left-arm chinaman". (Yes, I understand that's a racist term in most places, but still used in cricket. It has a rather interesting history in cricket which you should lookup). The ball turns in to a right-hand batter, and turns away from a left-hand batter. This is the type of spin Shamsi is bowling. This is also the rarest form of spin-bowling in cricket. Skilled bowlers are also capable of bowling a change-up by making the ball turn the other direction from their stock ball by changing their wrist and finger positions. For example, an off-spin bowler can bowl a change-up (called a "doosra") where the ball turns away from a right-hand batter or a leg-spin bowler can bowl a change-up (called a "googly") where the ball turns in to a right-hand batter.

[@seanprice8442]

The wrist position at the moment of delivery tells you if he's an off spinner or leg spinner. He's a leg spin bowler here and the wrist is almost parallel to the ground and the ball spinning from off to leg stump for a left hand bowler means he's a wrist or leg spin bowler. Thanks for awesome content!

[@vikramvega]

I agree with everything you have mentioned about his wrist action and the type of spin the ball takes. But the term "leg-spin bowler" is used exclusively for a right-arm wrist spinner. Shamsi's bowling style would be called "left-arm chinaman" or "left-arm unorthodox".

[@cg_2k72]

You would be correct but leg-side/off-side is determined by the batters' perspective, not the bowlers. The usual terminology for left-handed bowlers are orthodox and unorthodox.

[@jacqueshugo7973]

The type of spin off spin/leg spin is not dependent on the direction of the spin but the action of the bowler. If it comes over your index finger it's off spin and if it comes from the pinky finger side of you hand it's leg spin. Thus leg spin in this case

[@suleimanhaider5716]

It's more easily classifiable by using the method of spin. If a bowler is using his fingers to spin the bowl then he'll be called a left/right arm finger spinner. Similarly, the other case is left/right arm wrist spinner will one who uses his wrist for spinning. This particular bowler, however, is not a leg spinner, rather he is called "chinaman". Why it's called that 🤷‍♂️. Better to call him a left arm wrist spinner.

[@XaviRonaldo0]

​@@suleimanhaider5716yes but a finger spinner uses their index finger to impart spin and a wrist spinner uses their ring finger. They are both still using their finger but a wrist spinner uses a crooked wrist where a finger spinner uses a more conventional action. Even a traditional googly acts like a finger/off spin delivery but you still use your ring finger to impart the spin whilst having a crooked wrist. The wrist position is what determines the direction of spin here.

[@kombirat]

For left handed bowlers its generally orthodox or unorthodox. I believe in this case it is unorthodox as it turns across the body of the bowler (such does leg spin for a right handed bowler)

[@Stephens_Rocket]

He's a left arm leg spinner, which effectively acts as off spin to a right handed batter as it goes from left to right.

[@vikramvega]

@@Stephens_Rocket Shamsi's bowling style is called "left-arm chinaman" (also called "left-arm unorthodox" more recently because of the earlier term could be considered racist). I suppose the term leg-spin is used exclusively for right-arm wrist spinners.

Just for the record Shamsi is a Left Arm Leg Spinner so basically Left Arm version of Adam Zampa a more technical term for Shamsi's type of bowl is "Left Arm Unorthodox" Labuschange is also of South African heritage having moved to Australia when he was very young.

[@SeeASquaRE]

For anyone still confused like Jimmy on what off-spin/leg-spin/wrist spin is, general rule of thumb. If its an off-spinner most likely they will turn the ball into the batter playing with the same dominant hand (e.g right arm bowler to right arm batter), leg spin or wrist spin will do the opposite and go away from the batter. But there are variations that can do the opposite too like the googly. Wrist spinners use their wrist to impart revs like Shamsi, while finger spinners use their fingers to impart revs like Ashwin.

[@farhidahmed4473]

love your cricket breakdown

[@feelincrispy7053]

To a right handed batter - leg spin goes to the left/away from the batter and off spin goes to the right/ toward the batter

[@bringingtherukas7473]

A simple explanation for the type of spin bowling is if a bowlers normal delivery comes out the front of the hand its off spin ( or finger spin). If a bowlers normal delivery comes out the back of the hand its leg spin ( or wrist spin).

[@TheTrippleTKA]

2:20 that impact has to be in line with the stumps, it wasn't. Although it would've gone on to hit the stumps, the ball didn't make contact with the batter's legs in line with the stumps. those are the rules

[@newremote]

Nice post, Jomboy, but as a couple of comments have pointed out, your analysis of the two LBW reviews is not quite right. The "umpire's call" decisions in the two reviews related to two different things. It's hard to do in a couple of sentences so for anyone interested, I'll spell it out a little. The three "red lights" are for these three points. (1) Pitching: the ball must not pitch outside the leg stump. Otherwise the batter cannot be LBW. (2) Impact: this is the impact of the ball on the pad/leg/body (not on the wickets). It must happen in a line between the two sets of stumps, otherwise the batter cannot be LBW. The exception is if the batter plays no shot, then (2) becomes irrelevant. (3) Wickets: the ball must be going on to hit the wickets. In the earlier LBW decision at 2:22 the replay said the "Impact" was too close to call, and so went back to the umpire's decision which was not out. The fact that it would've hit the wickets is irrelevant. In the second LBW at 6:40, it was the "Wickets" that was too close to call, and went back to the umpire. In that case the umpire had called out, so it stood. So, at 7:25 the right-hand freeze-frame is the wrong frame. I hope that helps.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

It's generally considered accurate to within the same distance as the radius of the ball. I might be biased is correct - Hawkeye (which is used to tell whether the ball was in or out in tennis) is based on this system cricket has been using for nearly 20 years.

[@psymar]

the problem with baseball is they tried that and everyone hated it as a lot of pitches everyone, both pitcher and hitter, agreed on were contradicted by the robo umps, because the way that actual umps call pitches, for example, a nasty curveball that just nicks the bottom of the front of the strike zone en route to bouncing on the plate is absolutely never going to be called a strike. So the problem is the roboumps can only call according to the rules as written, and the rules as written don't reflect how people expect the game to be actually played; there's some work going on towards fixing the rules though.

[@JeremyDStrong]

[@JPH1138]

Yeah, the styles of spin are confusing. Effectively Shamsi IS an off-spinner because that's the direction the ball is going on - but leg-spinner and off-spinner are names that are only used for right handers, because left handers make the ball go in the opposite direction when they turn it. A left arm finger spinner is called the somewhat awkward Left Arm Orthodox because that's the more common style - it's easier to bowl and is seen as more effective, because it takes the ball away from a right hander which is seen as harder to play. A left arm wrist spinner, like Shamsi, who brings the ball back in is called.... a Left Arm Unorthodox. Although you'll probably see Left Arm Leg Spin or Left Arm Wrist used just as much, and other odd phrases. This is because, somehow, after an English player expressed his amazement at the ethnicity of a left arm bowler who got him out in the 30s, this style of bowling had been known as Left Arm Chinaman for nearly a century. The phrase has been quietly retired recently.

[@braydenyee9388]

To summarize what you said: the type of spin (off or leg) is determined by the way the ball comes in for a right handed batsman for right arm spinners: off break means that it comes from the off side TOWARDS the leg leg break means that is comes from the leg side TOWARDS the off side for left arm spinners: slow left arm orthodox is the equivalent of left arm off break, as in its the same movement. This means however that it is similar to a leg break delivery to a right handed batsman left arm unorthodox, or left arm wrist is the equivalent of left arm leg break, as its the same movement a right arm leg break bowler would use, just with the left hand. This means that the ball is similar to an off spin delivery to a right handed batsman

[@mrpopenfresh]

The best minds of Africa are all working on replay tech for Cricket.

[@worshaka]

The LBW law is rather technical. It isn't just if the ball hits the batsman and would have hit the stumps. There are 3 main criteria. 1. The ball can not pitch outside leg stump. 2. The ball must strike the batsman in line with the stumps (unless the batsman doesn't attempt to play a shot) 3. The ball would have hit the stumps if it didn't hit the batsman. In this example it wasn't clear if the ball hit the batsman in line of the stumps. There is an error margin applied with the ball tracking technology. When it's not definitive based on this error margin they side with the umpires original decision.

[@reyblais4858]

On the first Shamsi appeal, the ball has to hit in line with the wickets for the LBW to be valid.

[@TheTrippleTKA]

"Umpires call" is basically NFL's "call stands as called" - because they didn't have enough to overturn it, or in this case the ball not hitting the stumps enough to over turn the onfield call

[@bananabender9829]

Marnus was saved because he was playing a shot and the ball hit his pads outside of the line of the stumps ( draw a line from the wickets from both ends and if he plays a shot and the ball hits the pads outside the line he can't be given out. ) even if the ball would have gone through to hit the stumps he can't be given out. If he didn't play any shot then he can be given out if the ball hit his pad and would have gone through to hit the stumps.

[@instagraham8]

Don’t use the term “throw” when the bowler bowls the ball. If the bowler bowls a ball with a bent elbow as he delivers the ball, it is classified as a no ball (throwing) and has to be bowled again and one run to the batting side. If some was watching American football and called a touch down as “TRY”, American football fans would point out the incorrect term for a touch down. When the ball has been give some air when bowled, the term is “flight”.

Hey Jomboy I think you missed a piece here. the "impact" aspect of the call that is left to umpires decision here is asking the question "is the impact outside the line of the wickets". meaning the point at which the ball makes contact with his leg. As you can see it is a close call whether or not that is the case. If the ball impacts you outside the line of the stumps, you cannot be given out LBW. Basically the thinking is that its nearly impossible to make an accurate assessment in this scenario and its taken out of the hands of the umpiring team to make that decision.

Shamsi is what used to be called a "Chinaman" bowler - unorthodox spin. Because he's left-handed and basically bowling with the same action as a right-hand leg spinner bowls, he's bowling uncontrolled off spin - which means no one, batsman, bowler or keeper, know what's going to happen with the ball!

i have no idea whats going on, but i m liking the breakdown.

[@stalinmao14]

Shamsi bowled really well in this match, unlucky. Lost to the eventual winners though so can take some positives

When they review it like this and the umpire hasn't ruled out yet It doesn't only need to touch the stumps. Specifically the centre of the ball needs to be inside the centres of the outermost stumps. In the replay you that it may hit the stumps but the centre of the ball is outside the centre of the stump. The hawkeye isn't that precise so the review can't give a definitive ruling hence it gives back umpires call which was not out.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

Centre of the ball now has to be inside the outside edge of the outermost stumps. This was changed close to a decade ago.

Really glad to see you take on cricket commentary. Half my family are Aussies and I watch all I can, but the replay feeds we get here in the states and on KZbin really suck big time. TERRIBLE commentary and almost no replays at all.

Do travis heads catch which turned the match in the final. Total momentum shifter.
