Bouncer is kinda ball that bounces almost half way and by the time it reaches the batsmen, it will be around his head. Very scary to face, usually done to rattle the batsmen in professional cricket. U can search for bouncers on youtube. But these players are amateurs and play for fun, so they are not that dangerous.

Also i have one more thought about baseball (if u want to hit a ball as how u want then why dont u take a perfect bat?? Baseball bat is so tiny, it has only 2 option, either ball will going for home run or it will goes in higher in air) lol 🤷♂️🤦♂️ but in cricket batsman can play lots of nice tricky shoot without giving strong physical effort.. Thats the one of the nice thing..
With T20 being more about power hitting than classic batting I could see a US team entering the game and being competitive in 10 years.

basically every pitch is bumpy. The degree of roughness of a pitch determines whether it's more suitable for fast or spin bowlers. In hot, dry regions, the pitch tends to crack and becomes perfect for spin bowlers. In more temperate regions, the pitch is better for pace.
@@my2l well in cricket too the pitch is too much different and tough than baseball pitch. (Firstly the day's conditions will decide how the play will be (temperature to wind speed to timing of the match (example if happens during night then moisture comes to play as it makes the ground wet and this makes the ball wet and then all movements of the balls gets restricted to the minimum and ball goes the boundary easily if hit along the ground while such advantages may not be there to the team which might have played before and the pitch was slow (may be good at beginning of match but as game progresses and ball and pitch gets too much used it starts to show movements and to find the rhythm to hit the ball is tough. Moreover the varities of players in both batting and bowling with their positions and unique skills is very challenging (also keeping in mind whether the team is batting first or chasing the runs)batters and bowlers can be left handed and right handed (bowlers can do varity of bowling movements with their fingers and also the run up with they use can be of any type (there are various technicalities here some bowlers are shoulder based bowlers and some are jump and run up etc.) Remember the ball pitches and comes and is hard to predict and the speed is too much than baseball (i know I know you will say the speed in base ball is more but actually the reality is it is always in air and the batter focuses on the ball the eye gets fixed on the ball from the release till it reaches the batter and is predictable as it always comes towards him in that limited area (box) in the air where the batter stands.)(in cricket for batters the eye contact with ball is next to impossible as the release points(of the ball)are different with different actions of the bowlers with different match situations (is the runs required too high and pitch slow or fast and fielding positions and then what is the bowlers trying to bowl or is the batter having enough hitting ability to hit the ball anywhere or hit it at a place on any bowl or both and then bowler pitches the ball and sometimes won't and during that time your eyeball tracks it towards the pitch and then when ball pitches moves and then comes towards you (eyeball focus and tracking changes)so the time to respond at that time when it pitches and comes is too less)ground dimensions decide the play too if it's small or big and type of batters and bowlers are also changes in team accordingly. Here too left handed batters and right handed are there with different roles and some who can bat any position. Openers and middle order and lower order (typically openers are the batters who can handle the ball and have highest chance to score huge runs) middle order batters are the ones who can handle ball and score runs when it's tough to bat with above average good strike rate and lower end are the ones who can score more runs in less balls (inherently they take huge risk and get better rewards) and have responsibility to take the match towards their side by scoring the target. (But it's better that openers and middle order do their work so that this situations never arises but because lower end is strong (if) then batters above them play their natural play (players can be defensive or offensive or mixed too)
As a Opening Fast bowler, we have 30 types of bowling delivery and actions. We don't use them in a single match as we are constantly assessing the batsman. Spin and swing are limited to "Lenght" and grip of the ground that we tear up for them. Such a beautiful game.
I’ve played a lot of pace bowlers and there are an infinite amount of actions, but to have so many variations and have control over them, the key word being control, is quite impossible, and if you were able to do such a thing, you would be in your international side
I've been watching and playing cricket all my life but i never enjoyed so much than watching this baseball players... They added a new dimension to playing cricket.. Different school of play
Jonny cracks me up man. Doesn't look like an athlete, acts like a jabroni, rolls up without the right gear and without warming up, and just hits tanks haha.
This was a nice introduction to the sport of cricket in the USA. This sport really needs all the love it can get. The sportsmanship within this game is very missed within other sports there.
What do you mean? American sports have just as much sportsmanship as any other sport…. Americans are just competitive, so you see a lot of things that you don’t see in other sports (bat flips, celebrations, etc), but it’s not personal, it’s just part of being competitive.
That'd be hard for anyone to bat on, that material on a slightly uneven turf. In proper cricket, they roll hard pitches or lower grades/children tend to play on synthetic grass over cement pitches. On the rolled pitches, you can still get softness and uneven bounce for various reasons, but this was a little exaggerated to what you'd normally get. This was so much fun to watch.
Fun video! I’m looking forward to the next video showing these guys playing in an actual match. Baseball is great, but it’s good seeing something different.
We call the tarp thing on the pitch matting in Sri Lanka. That’s usually what’s used for our U13 school players so that they get used to the bounce. Then they later upgrade to the normal pitch. This was a Fun video man!
Unfortunately, you skipped one of the main differences. Fielding without a glove. Close in catches hit very hard. Slips catches. These would probably be very difficult for someone not used to catching with both hands
Just to clear up a few things, firstly spinners move when the ball hits the ground, not in the air. There are also 'cutters', which is basically a spinner but bowled fast. Also, in Australia, batters are still called batters, not strikers but it's probably different in other countries. The range which a ball can be bowled without it being a wide (like a ball in baseball) is around a meter and a half (5 feet) wide and tall, and it can be bowled straight at you, behind you, in front of you and at various heights so there are around 15 main types of shots a batter can play.
Awesome content. Great job spreading sporting awareness. You have to get those fellas to the gym and have them bat in the cage, show them some baseball.
I would expect that a baseball player would do well with a cricket fastball, as they are used to faster than in cricket, but spin or seam bowling moves the ball than in baseball, as it uses the bounce from the ground, so that might be more of a struggle
His stance is so funny🤣. Here in India, we play cricket the most.. India is one of the powerhouses of international cricket and talented people from all over the world come here if they get a chance in Indian Premiere League, one of the most famous domestic leagues in the world😁😁
Famous T20 League you mean...just like the T20 Leagues played in at least eight other nations.. But it's really nice of you to be so patriotic. These Leagues are known for corruption especially on the sub continent. Many cases exposed since inception. His stance BTW is the one used most of the time in baseball batting.
Fun fact we plaid something 90% similar to this in Dominican Republic. “LA LATICA” also VITILLA “BETEYAH”. I think we play everything related to Baseball in DR 😅
i dont get why cricket fans have so much hate on baseball. they always try compare that its better. but both are unique sports and are vastly different. cant compare. best enjoy both
People living in USA probably do that. In the countries where Cricket is popular, it’s a rarity to even find a person who knows anything about baseball.
@@anish8202This comment is dumb and let me explain why. 1. Baseball and Cricket essentially come from the same beginning. However, historical records lean towards that Baseball (early versions of it) came first. Actually, early Baseball games are documented as having stumps and wickets as part of game play. So Cricket is a sub-topic of Baseball if you wanted to be technical…. 2. Cricket fans are really eager to point out that Cricket is more popular, but is it? Strictly speaking on playing/spectating at professional level, it’s a lot closer than you think. Although Cricket is overwhelming played by more countries overall, Baseball is played in countries that have large populations. United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Dominican Republic, Venezuela (but pretty much a majority of the Caribbean and Central America). It adds up to about 2.1 Billion people. Cricket does have India and Pakistan who make up about 95% of the favoring population, but if you took all the other countries outside of those two that have a professional cricket team, their population wouldn’t even add up to just the United States alone. Prudence before justice my friend……..
2:01 Slight misnomer here. The cricket equivalent of a batter is the batsman, and they can either be the striking or non-striking batsman, depending on which end of the pitch they're currently at. 2:48 An over is just a set of six balls. Another name for getting someone out is a "wicket" - that is, the batsman who goes out is said to have lost their wicket and the team who gets them out is said to have taken the wicket. A T20 ("twenty-twenty") match is 20 overs per side (120 balls), for a maximum of 40.
Actually the term 'batsman' has been replaced by 'batter' because of making the sport gender-neutral. Nowadays you won't hear commentators saying batsman.
In cricket its all full toss, and its a fun ball.. Coz batsman cam easily hit the ball out of the ground.... But if i take full toss from basball perspective 👉👉 even if u through it directly theres only one thing can happen (air in swing or air out swing/ari down swing or up 🙃). What is actually a normal option for a bowler in cricket. is there any other else bowler can do in baseball?? I dont know actually baseball too much.. Also i have one more thought about baseball (if u want to hit a ball as how u want then why dont u take a perfect bat?? Baseball bat is so tiny, it has only 2 option, either ball will going for home run or it will goes in higher in air) lol 🤷♂️🤦♂️ but in cricket batsman can play lots of nice tricky shoot without giving strong physical effort.. Thats the one of the nice thing..
In baseball, the pitcher (bowler) can make the ball change directions in the air by putting different spins on it or throwing them at different speeds! There are many different types of pitches, some straight and very fast like the 4-seam fastball, and some that are slower but curve on the way, like the curveball and the slider. There are more seams on the ball, and the pitchers are allowed to bend their elbow when they pitch (throw) the ball. And the batts are round because the rules say they have to be :-) In baseball, if the pitcher throws it outside of the "strike zone" 4 times to one batter, the batter gets to move forward to first base for free (a "walk"). The strike zone is about the same size as the wicket I think. Is there a penalty for the bowler in cricket if they miss the wicket too many times?
If you are interested, this a good video explaining many of the types of pitches in baseball ua-cam.com/video/1FTFWzcgjHE/v-deo.html Can you recommend a good video showing different types of cricket bowlers?
Yep, the action was a little off but he seemed to get a reasonable result. Might have edited out a lot though, but it could be pitching and bowling have some skills in common, as well as batting.
@@rabiyaashraf950 Which is why I said that pitching in baseball is akin to throwing in cricket. Therefore, bowling in cricket is NOT AKIN to pitching in baseball. You've misread what I had typed.
@@deepakpandey8240 equivalent to bringing some people who were new to baseball and having them face Jacob Degrom, Shohei Ohtani and Sandy Alcantara, not fair 😂
Also, do you have to bounce the ball as a pitcher? Can you just throw it straight down the middle? Seems very hard to bounce the ball and hit the sticks.
You can do both way.But if you try to do it without bouncing,then its become easy for batsman to hit the ball.But if ball bounces,then batsman gets trouble in hitting.
Yes. You can do that it's called a full toss. But it's easier to strike a full toss for a six(home run ) since the bat has more width than a baseball bat. Also a full toss above the waist is illegal and gets the opponents runs
@@elonmusket1820 Not on the full. You can bowl a bouncer which can be as high as the batter's head for 1 delivery an over. The rest have to be below the shoulders in the short forms of the game.
Or, the sticks are getting hit every time by the batter. That makes a difference. If the Batter can run forward and not hit the sticks, he can miss a swing every time. He can keep missing until he hits one. Pretty cool rules, imo
The fact that the ball bounces (and different amounts) is why baseball batting style does not work in cricket. Batting technique in cricket enables you to cover the bounce and lateral movement.
Baseball is way harder to bat consistent than it is to bat in cricket. Ball been thrown in baseball on the full from closer distance. bowled in cricket delivered on the bounce making the technical aspects required totally different but if these guys had grown up with cricket they would find it easier than baseball. I grew up with both and this is just my opinion.
@@stevemerry9657 20.1m cricket 16.8m baseball. 100+ regularly in baseball 100 is just about the best ever in cricket. IV played both and batting harder in baseball if pitcher good
@@n.w.owhoknowstheshadowknow58 in cricket bowling also depends on pitch+ if you are having seam and swing and the bowler is 140+kph then a international batsman wouldn't survive much time. Let alone club and street cricketers
@@qaziumer8994 oh I'm sorry I thought it was obvious 100+ mph. Baseball moves far more than a cricket ball through the air and is far harder to hit consistent with a round bat than anything you will encounter on the cricket field. Cricket today has nothing but flat tracks and if there is a bit of seam around the players of today can't handle it.
It's not about which is harder to hit, I've played both too. Cricket is more mentally challenging, you only get 1 (or 2 for a test match) chances to score runs, once you're out you're finished.. Facing a massive variety of bowling is much more difficult to concentrate on then fast pitches and some movement on the full (I'm not down playing baseball batters they are incredible at what they do) but ad spin bowling, cracks in the pitch, swing, speed changes and completely different bowlers every 6 bowls....... Both games need incredible players to be competitive, but different types of players are needed.
From the text in-video - "Two main ways the fielding team can obtain an out (or an "over") - an over and getting out are very different things! An over is a set of 6 deliveries, getting out is...getting out.
I would love to see a team of pro baseballers take cricket seriously for a season. So many of the skills crossover they would get very good very quick.

u would expect the same from a cricket player as well, its easy to read that's why baseball bats are smaller cause they only bowl full pitch
@@ONeA2122 except the full pitch are designed to dart 6 different directions at very high speeds
@@my2l well in cricket too the pitch is too much different and tough than baseball pitch. (Firstly the day's conditions will decide how the play will be (temperature to wind speed to timing of the match (example if happens during night then moisture comes to play as it makes the ground wet and this makes the ball wet and then all movements of the balls gets restricted to the minimum and ball goes the boundary easily if hit along the ground while such advantages may not be there to the team which might have played before and the pitch was slow (may be good at beginning of match but as game progresses and ball and pitch gets too much used it starts to show movements and to find the rhythm to hit the ball is tough. Moreover the varities of players in both batting and bowling with their positions and unique skills is very challenging (also keeping in mind whether the team is batting first or chasing the runs)batters and bowlers can be left handed and right handed (bowlers can do varity of bowling movements with their fingers and also the run up with they use can be of any type (there are various technicalities here some bowlers are shoulder based bowlers and some are jump and run up etc.) Remember the ball pitches and comes and is hard to predict and the speed is too much than baseball (i know I know you will say the speed in base ball is more but actually the reality is it is always in air and the batter focuses on the ball the eye gets fixed on the ball from the release till it reaches the batter and is predictable as it always comes towards him in that limited area (box) in the air where the batter stands.)(in cricket for batters the eye contact with ball is next to impossible as the release points(of the ball)are different with different actions of the bowlers with different match situations (is the runs required too high and pitch slow or fast and fielding positions and then what is the bowlers trying to bowl or is the batter having enough hitting ability to hit the ball anywhere or hit it at a place on any bowl or both and then bowler pitches the ball and sometimes won't and during that time your eyeball tracks it towards the pitch and then when ball pitches moves and then comes towards you (eyeball focus and tracking changes)so the time to respond at that time when it pitches and comes is too less)ground dimensions decide the play too if it's small or big and type of batters and bowlers are also changes in team accordingly. Here too left handed batters and right handed are there with different roles and some who can bat any position. Openers and middle order and lower order (typically openers are the batters who can handle the ball and have highest chance to score huge runs) middle order batters are the ones who can handle ball and score runs when it's tough to bat with above average good strike rate and lower end are the ones who can score more runs in less balls (inherently they take huge risk and get better rewards) and have responsibility to take the match towards their side by scoring the target. (But it's better that openers and middle order do their work so that this situations never arises but because lower end is strong (if) then batters above them play their natural play (players can be defensive or offensive or mixed too)
@@human6729 I'm not reading all that broken english. baseball is harder.
@@my2l baseball harder?? 😂😂 Its jusy another cheap knock off of cricket just like American football another cheap knock off of rugby..you girls 😂
As a Opening Fast bowler, we have 30 types of bowling delivery and actions. We don't use them in a single match as we are constantly assessing the batsman. Spin and swing are limited to "Lenght" and grip of the ground that we tear up for them. Such a beautiful game.
Biggest cap ever, there are nit even 30 types of deliveries in cricket,at least tell the truth man
@@kaushalraman82 Hell yes there is. What game are you playing?
@@waystadtymphyndir7079 I’m a lefty opening bat
I’ve played a lot of pace bowlers and there are an infinite amount of actions, but to have so many variations and have control over them, the key word being control, is quite impossible, and if you were able to do such a thing, you would be in your international side
@@kaushalraman82 You have not faced me Mr Batsmen.
I've been watching and playing cricket all my life but i never enjoyed so much than watching this baseball players... They added a new dimension to playing cricket.. Different school of play
Jonny cracks me up man. Doesn't look like an athlete, acts like a jabroni, rolls up without the right gear and without warming up, and just hits tanks haha.
This was a nice introduction to the sport of cricket in the USA. This sport really needs all the love it can get. The sportsmanship within this game is very missed within other sports there.
What do you mean? American sports have just as much sportsmanship as any other sport….
Americans are just competitive, so you see a lot of things that you don’t see in other sports (bat flips, celebrations, etc), but it’s not personal, it’s just part of being competitive.
"Welcome to the Arizona municipal recreation pitch, Eric Sim is on stirke, and has taken.... an unusual batting stance."
That'd be hard for anyone to bat on, that material on a slightly uneven turf. In proper cricket, they roll hard pitches or lower grades/children tend to play on synthetic grass over cement pitches. On the rolled pitches, you can still get softness and uneven bounce for various reasons, but this was a little exaggerated to what you'd normally get.
This was so much fun to watch.
Yep in India we use trampoline turf for only junior matches
I’m super happy JG got his ring even if it was with Boston. He was one of the big reasons he got the Rays to start winning in 08
8:12 Bro dropped the bat 😂as he thought it was home run very nice 👌
wow i finally understand cricket!!!!!! thanks boyos
Fun video! I’m looking forward to the next video showing these guys playing in an actual match. Baseball is great, but it’s good seeing something different.
Thank you for the fun!! I smiled all the way through this vid. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
I love it how they appreciate the sport for what it is
Great video you guys!
Need more of this!
Love to see you playing with some pro cricketers.
We call the tarp thing on the pitch matting in Sri Lanka. That’s usually what’s used for our U13 school players so that they get used to the bounce. Then they later upgrade to the normal pitch. This was a Fun video man!
I was wondering about that! I've not seen that here in australia
@@isthatrubble We used to use it over a concrete pitch when I first played U12s here in Aus.
@@dethak the concret pitches around where I live have plastic grass over them
Sim bowling correctly is awesome
Fresh content. Let's gooooooo!
Can't believe nobody tried to get Jonny to play a Sunday league (what you'd beer league) game when he was over here in London
Unfortunately, you skipped one of the main differences. Fielding without a glove. Close in catches hit very hard. Slips catches. These would probably be very difficult for someone not used to catching with both hands
Explaining why it's called "silly point".... Because you got to be stupid as hell to stand there
lmao fielding is the easiest transition, not hard at all.
caught and bowled is straight up insane if hit hard,but slips are the elites of fielding.
Catching with a glove is actually harder to do than with your two hands.
@@ihatejpmorgan I don't think catching it is a problem but holding a catch in a glove is hell
Love to see Jonny he did good for us in Boston
Just to clear up a few things, firstly spinners move when the ball hits the ground, not in the air. There are also 'cutters', which is basically a spinner but bowled fast. Also, in Australia, batters are still called batters, not strikers but it's probably different in other countries. The range which a ball can be bowled without it being a wide (like a ball in baseball) is around a meter and a half (5 feet) wide and tall, and it can be bowled straight at you, behind you, in front of you and at various heights so there are around 15 main types of shots a batter can play.
From the West Indies. Great video. Always wanted to see how baseball matches up against cricket. Lol. Good sports.
Kudos to them for the effort and Willingness to Try Cricket 👏🥳
Awesome content. Great job spreading sporting awareness.
You have to get those fellas to the gym and have them bat in the cage, show them some baseball.
I would expect that a baseball player would do well with a cricket fastball, as they are used to faster than in cricket, but spin or seam bowling moves the ball than in baseball, as it uses the bounce from the ground, so that might be more of a struggle
His stance is so funny🤣. Here in India, we play cricket the most.. India is one of the powerhouses of international cricket and talented people from all over the world come here if they get a chance in Indian Premiere League, one of the most famous domestic leagues in the world😁😁
who won the test championship buddy?
@@gaudydiagram2415 it was new-zealand who won it.. a single bowler, Kyle Jamieson dominated almost whole of indian lineup for 2 innings
@@ayansayan8229 damn right he did #steadytheship
@@gaudydiagram2415 yup.. we will get revenge for sure
Famous T20 League you mean...just like the T20 Leagues played in at least eight other nations.. But it's really nice of you to be so patriotic.
These Leagues are known for corruption especially on the sub continent. Many cases exposed since inception.
His stance BTW is the one used most of the time in baseball batting.
They forgot to mention that the batsman doesn't HAVE to smash the delivery to the boundaries. He can DEFLECT the ball to score toio.
jonny was my favorite player on the 2013 squad
This is my favourite video ever. Great guys doing great things 😃
Fun fact we plaid something 90% similar to this in Dominican Republic. “LA LATICA” also VITILLA “BETEYAH”. I think we play everything related to Baseball in DR 😅
Thanks to this video, I think I might give cricket a try.
"I'll go easy" - proceeds to try to take his head off 3 times! 😂
Test match is complicated,,,,Vikram should have just explained T20 and Odis
i dont get why cricket fans have so much hate on baseball. they always try compare that its better. but both are unique sports and are vastly different. cant compare. best enjoy both
People living in USA probably do that. In the countries where Cricket is popular, it’s a rarity to even find a person who knows anything about baseball.
Baseball is a like a subtopic of cricket
@@anish8202This comment is dumb and let me explain why.
1. Baseball and Cricket essentially come from the same beginning. However, historical records lean towards that Baseball (early versions of it) came first. Actually, early Baseball games are documented as having stumps and wickets as part of game play. So Cricket is a sub-topic of Baseball if you wanted to be technical….
2. Cricket fans are really eager to point out that Cricket is more popular, but is it? Strictly speaking on playing/spectating at professional level, it’s a lot closer than you think. Although Cricket is overwhelming played by more countries overall, Baseball is played in countries that have large populations. United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Dominican Republic, Venezuela (but pretty much a majority of the Caribbean and Central America). It adds up to about 2.1 Billion people. Cricket does have India and Pakistan who make up about 95% of the favoring population, but if you took all the other countries outside of those two that have a professional cricket team, their population wouldn’t even add up to just the United States alone. Prudence before justice my friend……..
@@Jay_Force_One2.5
2:01 Slight misnomer here. The cricket equivalent of a batter is the batsman, and they can either be the striking or non-striking batsman, depending on which end of the pitch they're currently at.
2:48 An over is just a set of six balls. Another name for getting someone out is a "wicket" - that is, the batsman who goes out is said to have lost their wicket and the team who gets them out is said to have taken the wicket. A T20 ("twenty-twenty") match is 20 overs per side (120 balls), for a maximum of 40.
Actually the term 'batsman' has been replaced by 'batter' because of making the sport gender-neutral. Nowadays you won't hear commentators saying batsman.
Yeah.... ya don't wanna give a baseballer a full toss. ;)
You guys look like a fun bunch. I really enjoyed the video
The Enya edit was top tier lmao
In cricket its all full toss, and its a fun ball.. Coz batsman cam easily hit the ball out of the ground....
But if i take full toss from basball perspective 👉👉 even if u through it directly theres only one thing can happen (air in swing or air out swing/ari down swing or up 🙃). What is actually a normal option for a bowler in cricket. is there any other else bowler can do in baseball?? I dont know actually baseball too much..
Also i have one more thought about baseball (if u want to hit a ball as how u want then why dont u take a perfect bat?? Baseball bat is so tiny, it has only 2 option, either ball will going for home run or it will goes in higher in air) lol 🤷♂️🤦♂️ but in cricket batsman can play lots of nice tricky shoot without giving strong physical effort.. Thats the one of the nice thing..
ichiro suzuki bunting compilation.
In baseball, the pitcher (bowler) can make the ball change directions in the air by putting different spins on it or throwing them at different speeds! There are many different types of pitches, some straight and very fast like the 4-seam fastball, and some that are slower but curve on the way, like the curveball and the slider.
There are more seams on the ball, and the pitchers are allowed to bend their elbow when they pitch (throw) the ball.
And the batts are round because the rules say they have to be :-)
In baseball, if the pitcher throws it outside of the "strike zone" 4 times to one batter, the batter gets to move forward to first base for free (a "walk"). The strike zone is about the same size as the wicket I think.
Is there a penalty for the bowler in cricket if they miss the wicket too many times?
If you are interested, this a good video explaining many of the types of pitches in baseball ua-cam.com/video/1FTFWzcgjHE/v-deo.html
Can you recommend a good video showing different types of cricket bowlers?
Bloody hell! Look that arm of the blue guy...he is unbelievable for a beginner... 👏
Guy in the blue shirt's actually a really promising bowler! Especially for a novice. Nice action.
This is how laughably easy it would be for baseball players to dominate cricket
Juco was really good for a first timer bowling.
Dude!! give the guys some more protection they playing for the first time...
12:36 only men can feel that pain aaah
This is cool af..... Baseballers tryna learn cricket
I'm very impressed with his bowling considering that it is his first time.
Yep, the action was a little off but he seemed to get a reasonable result. Might have edited out a lot though, but it could be pitching and bowling have some skills in common, as well as batting.
@@psychologicalprojectionist Pitching is akin to throwing in cricket. His line was off, but his length was spot on!
@@englishforsrilanka2535 in cricket,we don't throw, but bowl, which is a biomechinacally a different motion than throwing.
@@rabiyaashraf950 Which is why I said that pitching in baseball is akin to throwing in cricket. Therefore, bowling in cricket is NOT AKIN to pitching in baseball.
You've misread what I had typed.
They should bring someone like Shane Warne,shohaib akter or breet Lee
Lol yeah bring Shane Warne
@@philmccracken179 Warne is no more rip
Why? Don’t you want them to enjoy cricket and develop a liking for it?😂
Those guys will absolutely destroy them. Physics defying bowlers.🤣🤣🤣
@@deepakpandey8240 equivalent to bringing some people who were new to baseball and having them face Jacob Degrom, Shohei Ohtani and Sandy Alcantara, not fair 😂
Also, do you have to bounce the ball as a pitcher? Can you just throw it straight down the middle? Seems very hard to bounce the ball and hit the sticks.
You can do both way.But if you try to do it without bouncing,then its become easy for batsman to hit the ball.But if ball bounces,then batsman gets trouble in hitting.
On the full above the waist is an illegal delivery too.
Yes. You can do that it's called a full toss. But it's easier to strike a full toss for a six(home run ) since the bat has more width than a baseball bat. Also a full toss above the waist is illegal and gets the opponents runs
@@simonbaigrie2485 dang so no high cheese 🧀
@@elonmusket1820 Not on the full. You can bowl a bouncer which can be as high as the batter's head for 1 delivery an over. The rest have to be below the shoulders in the short forms of the game.
holding the bat that high? perfect set up for yorkers haha
Or, the sticks are getting hit every time by the batter. That makes a difference. If the Batter can run forward and not hit the sticks, he can miss a swing every time. He can keep missing until he hits one. Pretty cool rules, imo
Son, You will learn what "stumping" means 🤣🤣
Jonny doing a bat flip in cricket -- I'm DYING here 😆GO SOX!
His best moment as a Ray was fighting the Sox. Go Rays
I love you Johnny !!!!!!!!!
Love how sim makes fun of Gomes for missing but sim hasn’t seen the bigs
The fact that the ball bounces (and different amounts) is why baseball batting style does not work in cricket. Batting technique in cricket enables you to cover the bounce and lateral movement.
Great video! Spinner didn’t technically spin a single ball though 😁
Next we want othani and mike
Man explained it so well
Came here for Red Sox legend and 2013 World Series champion Jonny Gomes 🤩
Awesome!
A fast bowler can boll u towards 150 to 160 KM/hr ...& Spinner can turn it 360 ...u can search for fastest bowl in cricket & best spins in cricket !
None of the balls were spinning. Those are all straight with some over/top spin.
I swear the Boller is not actually crickter 😂😂
With their strenth they will be unstoppable
What a cool idea for a video.
Baseball is way harder to bat consistent than it is to bat in cricket. Ball been thrown in baseball on the full from closer distance. bowled in cricket delivered on the bounce making the technical aspects required totally different but if these guys had grown up with cricket they would find it easier than baseball. I grew up with both and this is just my opinion.
I’m pretty sure the distances are the same
@@stevemerry9657 20.1m cricket 16.8m baseball. 100+ regularly in baseball 100 is just about the best ever in cricket. IV played both and batting harder in baseball if pitcher good
@@n.w.owhoknowstheshadowknow58 in cricket bowling also depends on pitch+ if you are having seam and swing and the bowler is 140+kph then a international batsman wouldn't survive much time. Let alone club and street cricketers
@@qaziumer8994 oh I'm sorry I thought it was obvious 100+ mph. Baseball moves far more than a cricket ball through the air and is far harder to hit consistent with a round bat than anything you will encounter on the cricket field. Cricket today has nothing but flat tracks and if there is a bit of seam around the players of today can't handle it.
It's not about which is harder to hit, I've played both too.
Cricket is more mentally challenging, you only get 1 (or 2 for a test match) chances to score runs, once you're out you're finished..
Facing a massive variety of bowling is much more difficult to concentrate on then fast pitches and some movement on the full (I'm not down playing baseball batters they are incredible at what they do) but ad spin bowling, cracks in the pitch, swing, speed changes and completely different bowlers every 6 bowls.......
Both games need incredible players to be competitive, but different types of players are needed.
From the text in-video - "Two main ways the fielding team can obtain an out (or an "over") - an over and getting out are very different things! An over is a set of 6 deliveries, getting out is...getting out.
Also in the same text, a T20 (or more formally"Twenty20") is 20 overs per team, not 10 each
Get Mitch stark in there. It'll be funny as fuck.
This was fresh AF
Ya'll picked that up so quick
Great content
I would love to see a team of pro baseballers take cricket seriously for a season. So many of the skills crossover they would get very good very quick.
Imagine Aaron Judge just hitting tanks 💣
There is a small college in Pennsylvania called Haverford where they play cricket pretty seriously
Ayyy, this was cool
Fuckkkinnnnnnnnn Sim absolutely Killin' it and on every channel baseball related with Johnny Gommmesss #CricketGuru #ProfessionalGrassHoppaLeague #HitBombsThrowGasLiftHeavyEatLikeASavage
At some point bowler was like "Let me slow down a little bit & throw some full toss, otherwise they will never play cricket again" 😂
I think USA could be HUGE in cricket, especially in T20! All the baseball talent in the USA would make a big difference.
