On the last delivery by Shane Warne in the video, the pitch also plays a role in the ball changing direction once it hits the pitch. In a test match on days 4-5 the pitch starts to have cracks from the sun & being run on so spin bowlers come to the fore. What Warne did with that delivery was to pitch it into those cracks & depending on how the ball hits those cracks it’s likely to create uncertainty to the batter. So in a nutshell that delivery was a combination of Warne’s bowling skill & the pitch.

I love that you guys as newcomers to the game are interested in how bowlers set up batsmen. This is part of the psychology of the game that you only really get in test cricket. Which is why the true cricket lovers like tests the most.
Hope this doesn't sound patronising, but it's so good to hear two Americans who can actually analyse the game ("He was expecting a yorker ", "He delivered it so that it would bounce off the seam", "He's putting a lot of wrist spin into that!") Excellent stuff! And yes, it'll be the same Rabada. BTW, if you want to see a fast bowler with an odd action that almost looks like a throw, check out Lasith Malinga!
I don't know if you've seen Lillee and Thomson, but they were an insane one-two punch Australia had in the 70s and early 80s. They were so good that someone in England coined the phrase, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust... if Thommo don't get you, then Lillee must". That's how devastating they were against England in the day. And this was when batting helmets weren't in Test Cricket for the first half of their careers.
When you think about it its a miracle that nobody got killed or seriosly injured facing Lillee and Thompson. I think you have to give those 1970s English batsman and indeed opposition batsman from other countries great credit for facing Lillee and Thompson. That its a testament to their bravery, great skill in batting to avoid getting hit on the body bad. They either ducked and weaved skillfully like a Fencer or used the bat the hook and pull especially to combat Lillee and Thompson without getting hit and ending up in hospital ER department. Its miracle really you need genuine bravery to face Lillee Thompson or West Indies pace quartet. 1970s if you were an international batsman would wish you skipped that decade and chose another safer sport LOL then face those guys.
In cricket the ball can move after pitching on the turf generally after hitting the seam. It can also move in the air which is referred to something as reverse swing.

Please read about reverse swing. Some of this were using this method. The ball swings towards the shinier side. The entire team has to take care of the ball and use natural lubrication like sweat and spit to shine one side. Works more and rough pitches where one side gets roughed up sooner. It’s an aerodynamic phenomenon
@17:45 - 3 ways because of the drift. The drift is generally influenced by the weather, pace and amount of spin imparted before the ball was delivered. Big fan of your channel - since you both discuss about technique a lot.

Waqar Younis was not bowling back in the Bradman era. He was fast and swung it, especially as the ball got older. We loved him in England because he played for Surrey in the County Championship. He took many scalps, "Waqared" which was the big, painful, inswinger on the front foot, in line with the stumpsl
The pitch that looked wet was one that was so heavily rolled, and with zero grass left on it that it was reflective. Kind of like a patch of polished concrete can look like it's wet. Prepared that way to give the fast bowlers the best advantage possible. A first day cricket pitch will usually have a faint green tinge to it so that it will last better and not turn dangerous.
Cant believe you guys know players like Balaji by sight already. Your knowledge and appreciation of cricket is growing by leaps and bounds. Good stuff, guys!
16:20 That's Waqar Younis... The Ground was not slippery, the batsmen were always afraid that he was going to crush their toes. Waqar is also known as the one and only "Toe-Crusher"... The GOAT of Yorker bowlers. He's a legend, my favorite bowler of all time, and also Usain Bolt's favorite of all time.
I do appreciate that your uderstanding of the game has developed so well in a very short time! I guess it is a common skill among any sport. specially outdoor games. I love watching your reactions, and the fact that you both keep a check on current tournments and watch them live, amazes me! Thank you
Loving how much you guys are beginning to understand the subtilties of cricket. Once you get that you are on the path to being a cricket tragic. Welcome to the club.
I'm an Aussie but my favourite bowler is Curtly Ambrose from the West Indies. Pace, aggression, attitude and a massive mountain of skill. There's probably not much good quality footage of him but if you get hold of some it's well worth a look. He was scary.
you were spot on with Clarke dismissal where he tried to leave the ball,, when you look closer the shining side was towards the batsmen and it jagged back in , it was a reverse swing ,,
17:40 lemme break this Warne delivery down. Warne puts revs on the ball towards the off side. The plane that is the seam of the ball is in is tilted slightly forwards and slightly towards the right - in relation to a horizontal plane parallel to the ground. Because of this release and the sheer amount of revs Warne has put on the ball, the ball 'drifts' towards the leg side much like how a football (soccer) player applying curve to a shot or free kick. Once the ball pitches on the ground the seam grips the surface of the pitch and all that rotational energy redirects the ball back to the offside.
The law was modified some years ago that a batsman can be caught off the glove. Previously, we had to try to distinguish if it was hand or wrist? Gloves started to get longer wristbands to confuse the issue, so the wording was charged from "hand" to "glove."
Guys at 4.04. It's swinging in. Look at the ball, they shine one side of it and leave the other side scuffed. This causes the air to move past it at slightly different rates causing it to swing inwards. Reverse which side the smooth face is and it will swing outwards.
In earlier days the players did go off the field for rain. The difference is that the pitches weren’t covered as they are now, so they got sticky and took longer to dry out. Anyway, the pitch you thought was wet, was actually heavily rolled to the point of having a sheen in parts.
"Seamers" make the ball move erratically when it bounces by the Seam of the ball digging in to the pitch, or not. "Swing Bowlers" make the ball move in the air by vigorously shining one side of the ball on their Trousers/shirt, this makes one side of the ball more aerodynamic so it curves (swings) through the air. As an Englishman, I spent many Mornings of my life watching Jimmy "The King of Swing" Anderson (Swing Bowler) and Stuart "Broady" Broad (Seamer) absolutely dismantling teams together, steaming in from opposite ends. If you reeeeally want to see how much passion this sport can evoke, I'd highly recommend watching the next Ashes Series (next one starts November in Australia), one of the oldest sporting rivalries in the world!
My all time favourite bowler was the late great West Indian Malcolm Marshall. Could bowl from a long or short run-up and had great control of swing with pace . Held his own in a great West Indian line-up.
You've picked up some of the terminology, 'chin music', well done. The characteristic sound that is made when the ball hits the stumps is called the "death rattle".
at 4:10 its called reverse swing, when the ball is new, it moves along the rough side of the ball(conventional swing) but it when the ball is old,it moves along the shiny side of the ball(reverse swing).this ball is having its rough side facing outside,so the ball would normally leave the batsman,thtas why the batsamn thoight it would leave him and therefore shouldered arms.But the ball reverse swung and darted in along the shiny side and bowled him....reverse swing is usually achieved only be masters of swing bowling..eg Dale steyn ,bumrah,mitchell starc etc ..here you see simon jones doing it..but the best exponents of reverse swing(and conventional swing) were wasim akram and waqar younis from pakistan.
Players slip because they wear spikes for grip, but sometimes the prepared wicket, mud, is so hard the spikes don't penetrate the surface. Many players now wear flatter screw in stops, especially for batting, because the spikes can get you out , stumped. No worse feeling for a batsman than being out of your ground but you cant slide a foot back in because a spike is stuck in the dried mud. lol
LBW requires certain things to be adjudged, first if the ball bounces it has to be pitched (bounce) in line with the wicket (draw an imaginary box the width of the wickets, all the way down the pitch) OR outside off stump (the bat side, not the leg side) then the impact with the leg or body has to be in line with the wicket, thats why a batter will stick their leg out outside off i.e. to the side as it cant be lbw if it hit there.
It will not be lbw at 3:33 since the batter steps wide of the wicket. So when the ball hits the pads the impact will be outside the line of the wicket and hence not lbw.
3:32 No, batsman is keeping his leg just "outside off" to the line, so in case if ball comes in, it hits outside the line and he won't be given out. However, a little miscalculation of expected swing causes loss of wicket. Which is why batsman should try this only when he has got hold of how the ball and pitch is behaving.
4:00 - Simon Jones bowled reverse swing here. The seam is pointing away and the smooth side is towards the batsman. The ball swings (moves in the air) into the batsman as it slows to the optimal pace for swing. When ball wears excessively it starts to do this, and can go from no swing to swing in just a few deliveries as the point at which the wear is just right occurs. Normal swing with the position of the seam, would have the ball moving away from the batsman. I didn't see any movement off the pitch in this delivery - it looks like just reverse swing to me. If you want I can give a full explanation and commentary to all of the deliveries - the physics, the psychology, the rules, etc. Then again naivety makes for better videos.
They have always taken breaks for rain. I think what you are confusing it with is that for the last 40 years or so, they put covers on the pitch when the game is not being played to protect it, but in Bradman's era, the pitches were never covered, so they could baked by the sun, rained on, etc. The old pitches were much more difficult to bat on.
The wicket of Simon Jones, if he doesn't play a shot and the ball hits his pad outside off, he can be given out if it is determined the ball was going to hit but if he does offer a shot and the ball hits him outside off he can't be given out, so yeah either way he was doomed for not playing a shot.
in regard to your comment about the hand, the hand/glove is only considered part of the bat if the hand is in contact with the bat at the time the ball is striking the hand, and the hand is classed as any part of the glove up to the top of the strap so if the ball makes contact with any part of the glove that is in contact with the bat, it is considered a hit on the bat.
I would also like to appreciate the camera work in cricket now a days, in my openion, no other sports require this many different angles on each delivery. No balls and run outs, stumping, boundaries, edges, sound tracker, speedo meter, LBWs, ball tracking etc. We also had heat sensing tech to check on edges back in days but stopped because of 'vesaline scandle'. Specially the first camera that follows the bowler till it lands i keeper's hands. This game never stops amazing you!
Fun fact: Mitchell Starc’s brother is an Olympic high jumper. Curtly Ambrose was one of many absolutely fearsome fast bowlers the West Indirs produced in the 80s. See if you can find him taking apart Geoff Lawson’s jaw in Perth in 88. Oof. Just oof. Recommended: Day 3 of the Sydney test match. Any year recently. Some things are more important. You’ll see what I mean.
I'd love to see you check Darren Gough - when I was growing up in the 90s he was England's bowler of inswinging yorkers, in the same era as Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram. There is a 5 minute video of his in swing yorkers on here.
Not in black and white and definitely no water on the pitch. It wasn't that long ago. The video is just low resolution and degraded VCR tape, probably taped off the tv. They didn't play in the rain in Bradman's day, they just didn't cover the pitch or the infield to stop them getting wet. It made pitches really difficult to play on. The extra moisture would help the ball to move around/bounce unpredictably, sometimes dangerously, would soften/rough up the pitch when bowlers ran on it, thus helping spin bowlers to get more grip and turn. It also made it harder for bowlers to have a safe run up because wear/footmark holes would be created and players could twist ankles/fall over when bowling.
What Simon Jones Does is called Reverse swing...batsman Should not Leave that ball because the Shiny Side of the ball is towards Batsman it means it will swing back to the batsman like Inswing... Best way to tackle reverse swing is look at the shiny side... The Ball will move in that direction
in australia england newzwland u will see swing in air thats why ball starts swinging in air ,but because of the seam position it also starts swing after hitting the pitch thats quality of bowlers to do both
One clip for play by play is debutant Bhuvneshwar against naser jamshed , he set up naser with 4 outswing and then 1 inswing to get him out. Fact it was his debut makes it interesting , but not sure if its on yt.
The "ball of the century" bowl, was bowled in the 20th century. The other bowls were bowled in the 21st century, and as we are only in the first quarter of this century, it is way to early to start dubbing anything as "the ball of this century". That is really the only peculiarity of Shane's first ball in England. It was bowled at a time when a whole centuries worth of cricket was able to be judged against it.
Manny already answered what I was going to say. I just want to add one more thing to that. Conversely, any part of the body can be included in an lbw decision except the gloved part of the hand
"You're putting your leg forward, so you're gonne get LBW'd anyway" - Actually, less accurate than you'd think, especially with these big strides forward, batsman get more of a benefit of the doubt because if it's anywhere but at the bottom of the pads, the umpire will be thinking it's going over. Also the ball needs to tick certain boxes - legal ball, no bat involved, pitching outside off (or in line), striking in line with the wickets (or outside the line of off stump if no stroke is offered), and would go on to hit the wickets. There's actually strategies against certain bowlers (especially spinners) to "pad away" balls rather than swinging and risking an edge.
I been watching cricket a long time and all of these are incredible deliveries - but the Ryan Harris one is the best ball I ever saw by a pace bowler, completely unplayable. Cook was a bit unlucky to get it very first ball, but I don't think it would have mattered if it was ball 1 or ball 101, that was one that was a wicket no matter who was at the other end. No shame in going out to that one. Thanks for this fellas
Nice video guys. I’m sure you have been told that the greatest and most fearsome fast bowling quartet in the history of the game were from the West Indies. Any takers?
G'day Guys! Mitch Starc may be getting on but he is still the go to strike bowler for Australia (Took 6 wickets in the first innings in Adelaide including a wicket with his very first delivery!) Starc is also a master of the Yorker as well as swing bowling check out his best wickets as of a year ago in this clip:- ua-cam.com/video/3G0EB9LYC7Y/v-deo.html
I think Mike Gatting's thought process was, "What the hell just hit the stumps? It can't be the ball. That was going at least a yard down leg-side. It must have been an attempted stumping by the wicketkeeper and I was in my ground. I'll wait for the umpire's call". Unplayable is right.
Here's a breakdown of Starc bowling Vince at Perth. ua-cam.com/video/SmJm8v34s7o/v-deo.htmlsi=C9TGOXSjELqPUefl It has ball tracking to show how much the ball deviated, having hit the crack. Also at Perth, another unplayable delivery when Curtley Ambrose hit a crack ua-cam.com/video/Ztunux9TDiA/v-deo.htmlsi=abNWTJSRNqH_Fq5K
Yeah calling some of the deliveries in this compilation "unplayable" is a stretch but the Starc delivery is the genuine article. Nobody is hitting that at 90mph. The thing that people might miss on first glance is the massive angle across Starc has bowling around the wicket to the right hander. It's not just straightened up. It's gone a mile.
If you want to look at how to set a player up ect. Its all controlled theough the captain. Look up videos on good cpatains and you eill learn the dynamic. And also somewhat the bowler is involved as he often has control over how he bowls but is typically guided by the captains plans. The captain sets the field. Picks who is going to bowl at which batsmen ect. They typicall come up with a plan in the lead up of how to bowl to each guy Basically its like horseracing. You have to know each player. Their strength and weaknesses ect. What shots they are conlmfortable playing ect. This is why the saying "Shit gets wickets" is a thing. Because typically if yoyr plan isnt working. Putting someone less predictable on to bowl can disturb a team. Because they got used to your gameplan ect. So bowling something in their good area can catch them off guard ect
I've a recommendation, comrades. It’s always a good thing (could be bad somedays, nevermind) to taste new things, I guess. There is a cricketer (pacer mainly) named Mustafizur Rahman. He has the ability to bowl cutter delivery and yorker. I don't think you ever react a pacer who does tricks except the swing and movement. I mean, he has the ability obviously the swing the ball in two directions. But he maestro for cutter and yorker. You can check him up if you're trying to react new thing, I assume. It's a short video. If you comrades want more of him, I will manage and share you the better link. Peace out! ua-cam.com/video/mUQIfjF9-VI/v-deo.htmlsi=gJX_tsb0yqQg4U59
Wait until you see Konstas innings against India today. He just turned 19, made his teat debut for Australia, and made Bumrah look like an idiot. Bumrah hadn't been hit for a single six over the past 25 tests / 4 years. Konstas turns up, plays the most insane shots and hits him for 2 sixes in less than an hour. Shit it was funny to watch. Dude's a loose canon but fuck is he good at being a loose canon. 😂😂
I rate Ambrose above McGrath, because McGrath didn't have to bowl at the Australian batsmen! Frighteningly quick when worked up, and even in his latter years, metronomically accurate. Michael Atherton (I don't think he was in the video) had the misfortune of being an opening batsman in the eras of Ambrose and Walsh, Donald and Pollock, Wasim and Waqar, and McGrath and Warne (with Gillespie and Lee too). I'm not sure any other batsman has faced so much deadly bowling with the new ball.
Gday fellas- the best example I have ever seen of a bowler setting up a batsman was Glenn McGrath against Inzaman Ul-Haq - two of all time greats played against each other many times for over a decade. McGrath was said to remember every wicket he took. McGrath bowls short, wide (and slow if 130kms is slow?) - gift cut shot four runs (my first thought was - WTF that's the ball of the part time bowler who gets an over or two) next ball - online normal McGrath speed - Standard Block. Third Ball - a little faster- slight outside between navel and chest hight - Edge and caught. Walking off Ul-Haq air swinging Cut, block , high block *f#$_" (or Pakistan equivalent) shaking his head. Then repeat on way out - totally fell for the trap, as he had done before. (Wouldn't know where to look for video- but it was the last series they played together (Aus V Pak) in Australia.
If batsmans don't play any shot and hit his pads even outside the stump line and ball directing towards stumps it's Out . And if batsmans play and ball hit outside stump line it's not out LBW new change in law
For the glove thing the glove that is touching the bat is considered to be the extension of the bat so if it hits the gloves and its caught its out if it hits the forearm that's not out and if the glove is not in contact with the bat its not out.

I love watching your reactions, and the fact that you both keep a check on current tournments and watch them live, amazes me! Thank you
Its like 15 years later and Gatting still doesnt know what happened. 🤣😂🤣

Loving how much you guys are beginning to understand the subtilties of cricket. Once you get that you are on the path to being a cricket tragic. Welcome to the club.
Mitchell Johnson at his best was almost unplayable and dangerous!!
Good knowledge fellas.....coming along nicely.
I'm an Aussie but my favourite bowler is Curtly Ambrose from the West Indies. Pace, aggression, attitude and a massive mountain of skill. There's probably not much good quality footage of him but if you get hold of some it's well worth a look. He was scary.
you were spot on with Clarke dismissal where he tried to leave the ball,, when you look closer the shining side was towards the batsmen and it jagged back in , it was a reverse swing ,,
17:40 lemme break this Warne delivery down. Warne puts revs on the ball towards the off side. The plane that is the seam of the ball is in is tilted slightly forwards and slightly towards the right - in relation to a horizontal plane parallel to the ground. Because of this release and the sheer amount of revs Warne has put on the ball, the ball 'drifts' towards the leg side much like how a football (soccer) player applying curve to a shot or free kick. Once the ball pitches on the ground the seam grips the surface of the pitch and all that rotational energy redirects the ball back to the offside.
Happy to hear you have some cricket balls on the way, you guys have done enough to deserve them. You may be surprised at how hard they are.
The law was modified some years ago that a batsman can be caught off the glove. Previously, we had to try to distinguish if it was hand or wrist? Gloves started to get longer wristbands to confuse the issue, so the wording was charged from "hand" to "glove."
Guys at 4.04. It's swinging in. Look at the ball, they shine one side of it and leave the other side scuffed. This causes the air to move past it at slightly different rates causing it to swing inwards. Reverse which side the smooth face is and it will swing outwards.
In earlier days the players did go off the field for rain. The difference is that the pitches weren’t covered as they are now, so they got sticky and took longer to dry out. Anyway, the pitch you thought was wet, was actually heavily rolled to the point of having a sheen in parts.
3:01 please see movie 83. You will see who is curtly Ambrose ☠️☠️
"Seamers" make the ball move erratically when it bounces by the Seam of the ball digging in to the pitch, or not. "Swing Bowlers" make the ball move in the air by vigorously shining one side of the ball on their Trousers/shirt, this makes one side of the ball more aerodynamic so it curves (swings) through the air.
As an Englishman, I spent many Mornings of my life watching Jimmy "The King of Swing" Anderson (Swing Bowler) and Stuart "Broady" Broad (Seamer) absolutely dismantling teams together, steaming in from opposite ends.
If you reeeeally want to see how much passion this sport can evoke, I'd highly recommend watching the next Ashes Series (next one starts November in Australia), one of the oldest sporting rivalries in the world!
My all time favourite bowler was the late great West Indian Malcolm Marshall. Could bowl from a long or short run-up and had great control of swing with pace . Held his own in a great West Indian line-up.
Yeah certainly one of the greats.
You've picked up some of the terminology, 'chin music', well done. The characteristic sound that is made when the ball hits the stumps is called the "death rattle".
at 4:10 its called reverse swing, when the ball is new, it moves along the rough side of the ball(conventional swing) but it when the ball is old,it moves along the shiny side of the ball(reverse swing).this ball is having its rough side facing outside,so the ball would normally leave the batsman,thtas why the batsamn thoight it would leave him and therefore shouldered arms.But the ball reverse swung and darted in along the shiny side and bowled him....reverse swing is usually achieved only be masters of swing bowling..eg Dale steyn ,bumrah,mitchell starc etc ..here you see simon jones doing it..but the best exponents of reverse swing(and conventional swing) were wasim akram and waqar younis from pakistan.
5:25 another example of reverse swing..by irfan pathan(india)
@RealFansSports, @ 11:29, it is out 'coz the ball hit the glove (which is an extension of the bat, not the entire hand)
Players slip because they wear spikes for grip, but sometimes the prepared wicket, mud, is so hard the spikes don't penetrate the surface.
Many players now wear flatter screw in stops, especially for batting, because the spikes can get you out , stumped.
No worse feeling for a batsman than being out of your ground but you cant slide a foot back in because a spike is stuck in the dried mud. lol
The reverse swing in the Simon Jones one was perfect
LBW requires certain things to be adjudged, first if the ball bounces it has to be pitched (bounce) in line with the wicket (draw an imaginary box the width of the wickets, all the way down the pitch) OR outside off stump (the bat side, not the leg side) then the impact with the leg or body has to be in line with the wicket, thats why a batter will stick their leg out outside off i.e. to the side as it cant be lbw if it hit there.
It will not be lbw at 3:33 since the batter steps wide of the wicket. So when the ball hits the pads the impact will be outside the line of the wicket and hence not lbw.
3:32 No, batsman is keeping his leg just "outside off" to the line, so in case if ball comes in, it hits outside the line and he won't be given out. However, a little miscalculation of expected swing causes loss of wicket. Which is why batsman should try this only when he has got hold of how the ball and pitch is behaving.
Outside-off won’t save you if you don’t offer a shot though (shouldering arms as the batsman does here).
4:00 - Simon Jones bowled reverse swing here. The seam is pointing away and the smooth side is towards the batsman. The ball swings (moves in the air) into the batsman as it slows to the optimal pace for swing. When ball wears excessively it starts to do this, and can go from no swing to swing in just a few deliveries as the point at which the wear is just right occurs. Normal swing with the position of the seam, would have the ball moving away from the batsman. I didn't see any movement off the pitch in this delivery - it looks like just reverse swing to me.
If you want I can give a full explanation and commentary to all of the deliveries - the physics, the psychology, the rules, etc. Then again naivety makes for better videos.
They have always taken breaks for rain. I think what you are confusing it with is that for the last 40 years or so, they put covers on the pitch when the game is not being played to protect it, but in Bradman's era, the pitches were never covered, so they could baked by the sun, rained on, etc. The old pitches were much more difficult to bat on.
The wicket of Simon Jones, if he doesn't play a shot and the ball hits his pad outside off, he can be given out if it is determined the ball was going to hit but if he does offer a shot and the ball hits him outside off he can't be given out, so yeah either way he was doomed for not playing a shot.
in regard to your comment about the hand, the hand/glove is only considered part of the bat if the hand is in contact with the bat at the time the ball is striking the hand, and the hand is classed as any part of the glove up to the top of the strap so if the ball makes contact with any part of the glove that is in contact with the bat, it is considered a hit on the bat.
Waqar Younis… this was the 90s. They took breaks for rain most def. He fell over not because he slipped, but because of the toe crusher by waqar.
I would also like to appreciate the camera work in cricket now a days, in my openion, no other sports require this many different angles on each delivery. No balls and run outs, stumping, boundaries, edges, sound tracker, speedo meter, LBWs, ball tracking etc. We also had heat sensing tech to check on edges back in days but stopped because of 'vesaline scandle'. Specially the first camera that follows the bowler till it lands i keeper's hands. This game never stops amazing you!
Fun fact: Mitchell Starc’s brother is an Olympic high jumper.
Curtly Ambrose was one of many absolutely fearsome fast bowlers the West Indirs produced in the 80s. See if you can find him taking apart Geoff Lawson’s jaw in Perth in 88. Oof. Just oof.
Recommended: Day 3 of the Sydney test match. Any year recently. Some things are more important. You’ll see what I mean.
Great reaction - proper sports fans
I'd love to see you check Darren Gough - when I was growing up in the 90s he was England's bowler of inswinging yorkers, in the same era as Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram. There is a 5 minute video of his in swing yorkers on here.
Not in black and white and definitely no water on the pitch. It wasn't that long ago. The video is just low resolution and degraded VCR tape, probably taped off the tv.
They didn't play in the rain in Bradman's day, they just didn't cover the pitch or the infield to stop them getting wet. It made pitches really difficult to play on. The extra moisture would help the ball to move around/bounce unpredictably, sometimes dangerously, would soften/rough up the pitch when bowlers ran on it, thus helping spin bowlers to get more grip and turn. It also made it harder for bowlers to have a safe run up because wear/footmark holes would be created and players could twist ankles/fall over when bowling.
What Simon Jones Does is called Reverse swing...batsman Should not Leave that ball because the Shiny Side of the ball is towards Batsman it means it will swing back to the batsman like Inswing... Best way to tackle reverse swing is look at the shiny side... The Ball will move in that direction
@9:09 you gotta do something about those discord notifications, I've checked my discord so many times😂
They did stop for rain. What you may be thinking about is they did not cover the pitches when it rained.
Mike Gatting thought he was called out stumped protested, didn't realise he was bowled.
As others have said, I'm impressed with your knowledge of the game.
in australia england newzwland u will see swing in air thats why ball starts swinging in air ,but because of the seam position it also starts swing after hitting the pitch thats quality of bowlers to do both
One clip for play by play is debutant Bhuvneshwar against naser jamshed , he set up naser with 4 outswing and then 1 inswing to get him out. Fact it was his debut makes it interesting , but not sure if its on yt.
The "ball of the century" bowl, was bowled in the 20th century. The other bowls were bowled in the 21st century, and as we are only in the first quarter of this century, it is way to early to start dubbing anything as "the ball of this century". That is really the only peculiarity of Shane's first ball in England. It was bowled at a time when a whole centuries worth of cricket was able to be judged against it.
Ahoy you two excellent reaction there, 'Shane Warne's best 50 wicket's on home soiil', for the next installment three cheers to you thanks
Manny already answered what I was going to say. I just want to add one more thing to that. Conversely, any part of the body can be included in an lbw decision except the gloved part of the hand
15:45 that's brain Lara an amazing batsman eats bowlers in breakfast he hit Waqar younus for consecutive fours so he just went all in to surprise him
"You're putting your leg forward, so you're gonne get LBW'd anyway" - Actually, less accurate than you'd think, especially with these big strides forward, batsman get more of a benefit of the doubt because if it's anywhere but at the bottom of the pads, the umpire will be thinking it's going over. Also the ball needs to tick certain boxes - legal ball, no bat involved, pitching outside off (or in line), striking in line with the wickets (or outside the line of off stump if no stroke is offered), and would go on to hit the wickets.
There's actually strategies against certain bowlers (especially spinners) to "pad away" balls rather than swinging and risking an edge.
I been watching cricket a long time and all of these are incredible deliveries - but the Ryan Harris one is the best ball I ever saw by a pace bowler, completely unplayable. Cook was a bit unlucky to get it very first ball, but I don't think it would have mattered if it was ball 1 or ball 101, that was one that was a wicket no matter who was at the other end. No shame in going out to that one. Thanks for this fellas
As long as the batsman has a hand on the bat, it is considered caught behind. If they release the bat prior, then they are not out.
Nice video guys. I’m sure you have been told that the greatest and most fearsome fast bowling quartet in the history of the game were from the West Indies. Any takers?
The clip that you thought was black and white was just a really poor quality video from the 1990s. The bowler was Waqar Younis.
As was the previous ball... in colour!
G'day Guys! Mitch Starc may be getting on but he is still the go to strike bowler for Australia (Took 6 wickets in the first innings in Adelaide including a wicket with his very first delivery!) Starc is also a master of the Yorker as well as swing bowling check out his best wickets as of a year ago in this clip:- ua-cam.com/video/3G0EB9LYC7Y/v-deo.html
great video .
please do a live coverage for the 3rd Ind vs AUS test match.
it'll be fun
10:24 thats not out from shoaib
1:56 Sohaib is Indian 🧐Malinga 😂😂
I think Mike Gatting's thought process was, "What the hell just hit the stumps? It can't be the ball. That was going at least a yard down leg-side. It must have been an attempted stumping by the wicketkeeper and I was in my ground. I'll wait for the umpire's call".
Unplayable is right.
we got kane wiliamson reacting to cricket before gta 6
Here's a breakdown of Starc bowling Vince at Perth. ua-cam.com/video/SmJm8v34s7o/v-deo.htmlsi=C9TGOXSjELqPUefl
It has ball tracking to show how much the ball deviated, having hit the crack.
Also at Perth, another unplayable delivery when Curtley Ambrose hit a crack ua-cam.com/video/Ztunux9TDiA/v-deo.htmlsi=abNWTJSRNqH_Fq5K
Yeah calling some of the deliveries in this compilation "unplayable" is a stretch but the Starc delivery is the genuine article. Nobody is hitting that at 90mph.
The thing that people might miss on first glance is the massive angle across Starc has bowling around the wicket to the right hander. It's not just straightened up. It's gone a mile.
Batsman is out only if the ball touches the glove of the hand holding the bat,if bowl touches the other hand that is free from bat then it is not out
If you want to look at how to set a player up ect. Its all controlled theough the captain. Look up videos on good cpatains and you eill learn the dynamic. And also somewhat the bowler is involved as he often has control over how he bowls but is typically guided by the captains plans.
The captain sets the field. Picks who is going to bowl at which batsmen ect.
They typicall come up with a plan in the lead up of how to bowl to each guy
Basically its like horseracing. You have to know each player. Their strength and weaknesses ect. What shots they are conlmfortable playing ect.
This is why the saying "Shit gets wickets" is a thing. Because typically if yoyr plan isnt working. Putting someone less predictable on to bowl can disturb a team. Because they got used to your gameplan ect. So bowling something in their good area can catch them off guard ect
16:07 they don’t play in rain; the video was recorded on a potato with high contrast values….
I miss spoke. Yeah they don’t play in rain but they used to not cover the pitches
I've a recommendation, comrades. It’s always a good thing (could be bad somedays, nevermind) to taste new things, I guess. There is a cricketer (pacer mainly) named Mustafizur Rahman. He has the ability to bowl cutter delivery and yorker. I don't think you ever react a pacer who does tricks except the swing and movement. I mean, he has the ability obviously the swing the ball in two directions. But he maestro for cutter and yorker. You can check him up if you're trying to react new thing, I assume. It's a short video. If you comrades want more of him, I will manage and share you the better link. Peace out!

@@rezaulkarim-py2gn Fizz is good, yes.
11:55 it's gloves if it hit the gloves of batsman and someone catch it it's out
Wait until you see Konstas innings against India today. He just turned 19, made his teat debut for Australia, and made Bumrah look like an idiot. Bumrah hadn't been hit for a single six over the past 25 tests / 4 years. Konstas turns up, plays the most insane shots and hits him for 2 sixes in less than an hour.
Shit it was funny to watch. Dude's a loose canon but fuck is he good at being a loose canon. 😂😂
Please react on Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He is known as "king of swing" in India.❤
8:37 Legendary Muthiya Murlidharan ❤❤❤
Have a look at some of the Sky masterclasses, that will give you good idea of bowlers setting up batters.
Curtley Ambrose, must watch him get Healey out with a slower ball, and the reactions of both players
3.39 - would not have been LBW as his leg would have been outside the line of the stumps at the point of connection with the ball.
Guys react to dale steyn, he was the number 1 bowler in the world for 6 years straight and still holds the record
Curtley was one of the greatest fast bowlers of the modern era, unplayable at times, West Indies had some bowlers in the day
I rate Ambrose above McGrath, because McGrath didn't have to bowl at the Australian batsmen! Frighteningly quick when worked up, and even in his latter years, metronomically accurate.
Michael Atherton (I don't think he was in the video) had the misfortune of being an opening batsman in the eras of Ambrose and Walsh, Donald and Pollock, Wasim and Waqar, and McGrath and Warne (with Gillespie and Lee too). I'm not sure any other batsman has faced so much deadly bowling with the new ball.
The slips, gully and keeper are there for the best batsman, they are the only one's that get an edge to good balls, lesser batters miss completely
Gday fellas- the best example I have ever seen of a bowler setting up a batsman was Glenn McGrath against Inzaman Ul-Haq - two of all time greats played against each other many times for over a decade. McGrath was said to remember every wicket he took. McGrath bowls short, wide (and slow if 130kms is slow?) - gift cut shot four runs (my first thought was - WTF that's the ball of the part time bowler who gets an over or two) next ball - online normal McGrath speed - Standard Block. Third Ball - a little faster- slight outside between navel and chest hight - Edge and caught. Walking off Ul-Haq air swinging Cut, block , high block *f#$_" (or Pakistan equivalent) shaking his head. Then repeat on way out - totally fell for the trap, as he had done before. (Wouldn't know where to look for video- but it was the last series they played together (Aus V Pak) in Australia.
Can I say, listening to Americans analysing cricket, shows that it is ashame that the US hasn't taken to Test cricket as I feel that it would take off
If batsmans don't play any shot and hit his pads even outside the stump line and ball directing towards stumps it's Out .
And if batsmans play and ball hit outside stump line it's not out
LBW new change in law
