1. A jaffa is a delivery that is impossible to keep out. Might be related somehow to the orange sweet called a jaffa ball. 2. The bails can come off by themselves in windy conditions. The umpires might put in "heavy bails" that can't be blown off. 3. My craziest cricket moment was a game in the early 90s between West Indies and England. A West Indian bowler pulled his hamstring as he was running in. But he still ran a mile to the other end of the pitch, caught the ball and got the wicket, before collapsing in a heap. He was done and had to be stretchered off. The batsman out was Ian Botham.
I assume the Jaffer comes originally from the piece of popular orange flavoured coated confectionery that young people used to roll down the steps at Cinemas in the 50''s and 60's when the lights were out. It later somehow got linked to an almost unplayable ball bowled in cricket and has been around for years even though I am not even sure you are still able to buy the confectionery.
@@farukhsheikh5790 You'll hear things like 'a great cherry' or 'great pill'. The opposite is a 'nude ball' or 'nude nut'... because the ball has nothing on it. 🙂
Jaffa - a great ball, unplayable. Also, Jaffa is a chocolate ball coated in an orange coloured candy shell. The bowler's end run out was not out - the third umpire hit the wrong button.=, and had to correct it.
I'd love to see your comments on the controversial dismassal of Bairstow in the second test! This is another matter where even the Prime Ministers got involved!
FYI - There is more cricket nations other than India, England & Australia More FYI - If you wanna get more subs try to focus South Asian Cricket countires. Cricket is dead in England & Australia 😅🤚🏾
I just witnessed another crazy cricket moment. A CFA reaction video starting in under 3 minutes🤯
"Why do you hate Bairstow so much?"
Oh I can't wait for the stumping video
5:00 Natalie Sciver has been doing that for about 5 years now.
That lbw was given because if the batter offers no shot then, impact in line will not matter, only ball tracking matters
Nick, you might want to watch the Scotland vs West Indies World Cup qualifier when Gabe gets too much!
Bairstow arrogantly strutting around as if he owns the playing field. Didn't respect his wicket enough to be more vigilant.!

Who was the bowler?

Jaffa is cricket slang for an unplayable ball.
Love that you're becoming passionate about cricket.
Great channel guys. 👏🏻
3:15 I seem to recall England put in 8 slips when playing West Indies in a Test back in the 2004, when Harmison took 7-12
Jaffa (in cricket lingo) = great, unplayable delivery (see 'corker', especially corker yorker).
Is it an English or Aussie slang?
@@Xinnie_The_Flu Both. We share a lot of similar slang, but the brits probably use if more often.
@@johnwhear9600 as an Indian I'm glad to be able to speak just some basic English. 🤣
I hear something like "peach of a ball" as well, sometimes.

You must be loving having Chris Woakes back in the England cricket team Nick!

U guys missed the golden era of cricket
Did you watch the USA's world cup qualification matches?
Gabe When you're going to upload a vedio about WI not being able to qualified for the World Cup 🙄
6:10 the batsman wasn't playing a shot, so the pitch of the ball is irrelevant
And the crazy moments in the 2nd Test...Starc non catch...Bairstow stumping?
Allan Border reveals Parkinson’s diagnosis.
You guys going to watch mlc?
I'd love to see your comments on the controversial dismassal of Bairstow in the second test! This is another matter where even the Prime Ministers got involved!

Cricket hardly dead between England and Australia. Has never been more entertaining and fiery between the two nations.
