The Cricket ball is hard as rock. Finger breaks are common. As someone who fielded in the slips, I spent months of every season with bruises and breaks. Some of these catches are amazing.
Glad you admitted you were a shi t fielder!& As for "hard as rock"🤔hmmmm.a leather covering of cork is as hard as stone forged from the earth crust millions & millions of years ago🤔try a day old greggs scotch egg,then you'll no hard😘
I had a friend who played for Dorset and for NatWest Bank in the Middlesex league.
He was an off spin bowler and specialist slip fielder, and always had strange breaks/dislocations of his fingers. Used to get them all sorted at the end of a season (bless the NHS for that!)
@@markcutting6504try catching a cricket ball in full force….. we shall talk then …
I had one smashed in my face when i was at school, ball was slogged so hard it went through by hands and smashed me in the nose lol.
Not a cricket ball...but I once got smashed in the chest with a hockey ball ( field not ice)....yeah it cracked many things
Number 1 the replay is tricky but ANOTHER player caught him out, not the guy who went off the field. He threw it to a team mate who caught it. The commentary mentioned the other player was 30 metres away
I did not notice that myself at first and so deleted my original post below that was a stand-alone reply until I saw your post afterwards. Good spot if you did not see it live at the time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I personally do not think catch #1 should have been given as out, because I always assumed that you had to at some point have had the ball under control.
So for example if the catcher of #2 caught the ball initially, threw it up in the air so that he did not carry it over the boundary with him but then did not catch it again on the second attempt, I would be surprised if that would still be given as out.
And the fact that the catcher of #2 even tried to catch the ball a second time, tells you he felt that he never fully had it under control. Otherwise he could have just done the same as the catcher of #1 and caught it, have thrown the ball away and then crossed the boundary himself without the ball yet still have claimed the catch.
A cricket ball is 5mm bigger and 15g heavier than a baseball and a lot harder, it's like being hit by concrete if you get it wrong.
A cricket ball is smaller ... but heavier & harder than a baseball.
Softball?
Softball is bigger and softer than a baseball.
@@dukeemzworth3005 Ta.
The bowler (pitcher) must release the ball with, in layman's terms, a straight arm, hence the runup. There are rules on allowing 15 degrees of flex and straightening within the arm, but for all intents and purposes it's straight, unlike the pitcher in baseball
Unless your Malinga the slinger
@@simoncampbell3144 Still had a straight arm above parallel with the ground. Flex at the elbow was below 15 degrees. Unique action though, I remember me and my brother trying to bowl like him. Disastrous😂
@@simoncampbell3144chucker
Very well said. Just joining the dots for the baseball fans, the straight arm slows the ball being delivered, but the top fast bowlers can still reach around 100 mph.
@@tobylewis6442 don't forget Murali bowling with a cast on to prove his style was legal.
It's 6 runs to the batting team if the ball lands over the boundary, it would also be 6 runs if the fielder caught the ball while stepping outside the line and it would be NOT out.
Perfectly said.😊
Unless it has already bounced on the ground beforehand. Then it's a 4.
The fielder for number three was Jonty Rhodes. He revolutionised fielding. He was so good a fielder, he was largely picked for that over his batting.
My Dad has watched cricket for 60 years and he would still call Rhodes the best fielder he’s ever seen.
I remember that game. 99 World Cup. He took, IMO, a better catch. Diving goalkeeper style.
Yes he was a great fielder, his diving catch's were amazing. Ricky Ponting was another great fielder, not as acrobatic but absolutely deadly throwing at the stumps.
They’re called bowlers king ,also if the ball had gone over the rope the catch wouldn’t have counted and 6 runs would’ve been awarded to the batting team
Slight correction, in that the ball can go over the rope, but as long as the catching fielder doesn't ground his feet while the ball's in his hand, it's counted as a catch, even if he throws it back in and another catches it.
i.e. the ball is determined to be wherever the body of a player holding it is touching the ground.
I used to catch the ball at slip and then run all the way to the boundary because I liked to see batsmen hit sixes ... They never let me field again after that
It's amazing how people waste their precious time explaining stuff to these 'reactors'. They never read the comments because they're not the slightest bit interested in the topics they're pretending to be. And even if they were, this one literally tells everyone he forgets everything he learns within 24 hours. And they still try to explain stuff. 🤣
@@citizenpbdon't talk so daft.
@@dunckywakwak you'll learn. they're taking you all for mugs. this one even watched a video he'd already seen, that's how much attention he's paying. 🤣
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.
When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.
Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
When both sides have been in and all the men have got out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!
What is so goddamn complicated about that?
Was hoping someone would post this
This made me fkn die laughing reading it...i am definitely nowhere closer to understanding cricket but that was a hilarious description nonetheless, and that's something that I can appreciate, thank you sir.
A classic description.
@mitchelltyler5972
Me too. I'm glad I wasn't drinking my tea or it'd be all over the kids 😂😂😂
I was looking for this exact same thing - you can even get this on a tea-towel!
Now we’re talking! Hitting a spherical half brick with a plank and then trying to catch it with your ungloved hands whilst it’s moving at around 80 mph!
Or even higher as some deliveries have been near or just over 100mph.
The outfield catches look more spectacular because fielders have to make up ground and dive to catch the ball. Catches close to the batsman you have to have lightening reactions and the hard ball is traveling so fast bones can be broken .
I must pull you up on cricketer's wearing baseball caps. Cricket started at schools and universities about 300yrs ago. Every school and colleges had a school cap as part of the uniform. The cricket team representing the school all traditionally wore blazers and caps with the badge of the school. My school back in the 1950's was Baines grammar school with the logo nil sine labore, Latin for nothing without labour and the school was founded in 1717. The point I am making is that cricket caps have been around a lot longer than baseball.
It didn't start at schools and colleges in fact; they took it up later. It was established as very much a rural game around where I live; the South Downs, of southern England. The aristocracy got interested when they saw it as a further opportunity for gambling. When it became less disreputable it was taken up by the schools.
Definitely more cricket please! Best wickets would be good. Btw - some of the best catches are the ones made very close to the bat because there is virtually no time for the fielder to react. Not quite as showy as the ones here, but even more difficult. SO look out for more catching videos.
What I think you missed on that last one was that the guy who caught the ball first threw the ball back in to the other fielder who then caught it before it landed. To be fair the video didn’t really show that clearly.
There is no rule like for a wide receiver in American football… if you go over the line (called the boundary) with the ball not only is it not out but the batter gets 6 runs; it doesn’t matter how many steps you’ve taken. In cricket a catch is deemed complete when the fielder has both the ball and his/her own movement deemed to be under control… if you’re still running towards and then over the boundary line you aren’t deemed to be in control of your own movement so the catch isn’t complete. Hence why in this case the fielder threw the ball away so strongly; he wasn’t just getting rid of the ball, he was throwing it to a teammate to complete the catch.
That's quite an old video of cricket catches. Over the past 5 years there have been some incredible catches. You really need to see Englands Ben Stokes catch vs South Africa in The 2019 cricket world cup. It's unbelievable. At full speed there's just no way he can catch it but he does!
Absolutely, it is the best EVER
ua-cam.com/video/h7GqCq61Y_E/v-deo.htmlsi=wThsPdradjq0vpc6
I was lucky enough to be on the pavilion balcony that day pretty much inline with that catch. It was a special one, i was out of my seat in a shot.
The surprising thing is that the ball is harder than a baseball but they don't wear a glove. That's why with some catches it's the speed of the ball that made the catch amazing, the one where you thought the last one was better I think you watch that following catch again because it was the speed of the ball "right off the bat" as you would say.
These multi fielder catches on the boundary have become very common and they practice them in training now. One of the things that marks your reaction videos out from the rest is that you are always wanting to increase your own knowledge, whilst entertaining us.
In Cricket a "pitcher" is called the "bowler" and the balls they throw are called "deliveries". The fastest delivery every recorded was by Pakistan's Shoaib Akhtar at a speed of 100.2 mph
New subscriber from the Caribbean,here for more cricket.
Your next reaction should be Cricket Explained for baseball fans.
Some Cricket World Cup 2024 matches will be held in 3 US cities starting next month. Tickets are apparently already sold out, I think, but its available on tv
Oh no, don't want the yanks showing any interest in cricket
@@gazbradster Too late, The US already have a female and male National team , and hosted their first inaugural MLC, Major League Cricket tournament last year. You should check out some vids online.
Baseball is to cricket what checkers is to chess. 😅
I think the best catches are those where the fielders are closer to the batsmen - the ones running and leaping on the boundary can be great but I don't think this was an especially reliable list (as most of these sorts of things are it generally means "the greatest 10 catches that I can be bothered to hunt down clips for - I'll reserve my effort for writing an excessively sensation title").
The key point to be aware of with the boundary catches is that the fielder must be in control of the ball (and himself) within the boundary rope - hence when the fielder knows he can't stop himself crossing the rope, he throws the ball up in the air before his feet touch the ground on the far side of the rope and returns to the field while the ball is still in the air before making controlled catch. This sort of catch was never seen until a few years ago but is now seen more frequently (albeit still rarely).
The final catch involved a second fielder (who took the eventual catch) as the first catcher knew he would be still tumbling over the barriers when his throw up came back down.
One amazing thing about cricket is that in one form of the game - an international contest called a 'Test match' - the game can last 5 days ... and still potentially end up in a draw!
Just at the start of this video, yet to see the selection, but for my money, one that's GOTTA be in there is:
Glenn McGrath catch off Michael Vaughan Adelaide Oval 2002 (Ashes Series 2002/03).
One of the great all time outfield catches in my view. Let's see if it's in the mix!
Okay, here's the brief British game inventions:: cricket was formed from the old medieval game of croquet. Baseball came from the old game of Rounders; Golf is really an acronym = Gentlermen only, Ladies forbidden, and born in Scotland! Rugby was born in the town of Rugby as a variation of football (Soccer). Snooker was born from Billiards; Pool was based on a variation of Snooker. Table Tennis was born from Ping Pong, Tennis was again an old Medieval English game. Hockey was invented by British soldiers (I believe) during the early European wars.
I suppose cheating is in the eye of the beholder, I.got a mouthful after I bowed a lad out with a yorker in the late eighties in Germany, he walked (stormed) shouting, it's supposed to fucking bounce you dickhead 🙄, guess he didn't watch much cricket
Cricket balls are fricking hard as frick. I certainly wouldn't be diving in front of one of those moving at 80 mph.
When you mentioned heads clashing, it made me think, you must see the Iranian goalkeeper smashing FACE first into another player.
(England v Iran world cup)
The medical team was a disgrace for allowing him to carry on playing with a broken nose and dazed for another 10 minutes !
That ball is HEAVY too for context
7:37 That's called the bowler, just thought I'd let you know
Would love to see boomers reaction to 1980's windies tours of england,especially Malcolm marshall(he's the only 1 I remember.big joe somebody?6" 8?)yet Americans are in shock when rugby players have no helmets,padding.wait to see a leather ball fired at you 90+ mph😓
the technicality of catching the ball within the field of play refers to 'completing the catch' You need to be fully in control of both the ball, and yourself within the boundary, otherwise it is worth 6 runs for the batting side.
I was lucky enough to be at the game when catch no. 8 happened. I was about 40m to the side of it. An amazing grab as the ball was travelling at some speed. Will always remember the guy next to me saying ‘you have just seen one of the best catches you will ever see!’ Well he wasn’t wrong. Great reaction.
Cricket isn’t that complicated really; one side bats, one side bowls (pitches). The side batting sends two players onto the pitch, and the other side fields and bowls. When the batsman hits the ball, both him and the other batsman leg it between the stumps/wickets (the sticks at each end of the brown bit) and get a point/run each time they get to the other side. They keep doing that for as long as they can before the fielders get the ball back to the stumps. If the ball sails over the line around the play area without hitting the ground then it scores six and if it crosses the line but hits the ground then it scores 4 but either way the batsmen don’t need to run as much. If the ball hits the wicket when bowled then the batsman is out. If the ball is caught before bouncing the batsman is out, and if the ball hits a wicket while the batsmen are running then a batsman is out. There will be a limit on how many times the ball will be thrown: x balls per Over and a given number of Overs per side. If all a teams players are got out while batting before all balls are thrown then they lose the chance to score from those balls.
Oh, and the ball is probably going 90mph, and is hard as a rock 😄.
That video the one joel watched, its got him hooked to watch more cricket
those balls are rock hard btw, heavy, no give. absolutely lethal. I'm not even a cricket fan but you don't recover from being hit by one quickly trust.
Quick info to know..
the pitchers are called bowlers and there are more than one per team who can be fast bowlers, spin bowlers etc. they take turns called overs (amount of bowls per bowler)
If the ball goes past the boundary (white line) without bouncing it’s a 6 and a four if it touches the floor before passing the boundary. (Like a home run)
Runs are what the batters do in pairs they run back and forth between the wickets which would be your bases and have to avoid being struck out by hitting the wickets or caught by a catcher. There is also a thing where if you block or obstruct the wicket with your leg and ball touches you you can be out. LBW. Hope that helps a bit boomer
The one were they nearly collided is their positions are called Long On and Long Off, the ball went straight down the middle so they both went for it, the catcher would have shouted "mine" which is why the other fielder got out off the way at the last second even though he could have caught is well I think.
With #2, the rules are that the fielder's first contact with the ball must be inside the boundary (the rope running round the edge), and they can't be touching the ground and the ball at the same time when beyond the boundary.
It's led to some controversial moments, for example, there have been very rare occasions where a fielder has thrown the ball up in the air from inside the boundary, but it heads outside of it, so they jump in the air outside the boundary and throw it up a second time, then they make the final catch inside the boundary again. That's only allowed if neither of their feet are touching the ground at the same time as they touch/throw the ball when outside the boundary, so they have to do the throw in mid air.
He threw the ball to another fielder who caught it. If he had just thrown it back it would have just saved 6 runs, but because he threw it to another fielder who caught it, he got the out too.
Getting fond memories of playing Brian Lara Cricket on the Mega Drive/Genesis back in the day!
On the 19th December 2020 and Australian Cricket Bowler Mitchell Johnson bowed a ball 97.4 MPH, but in 2003 Pakistani Cricket Bowler Shoaib Akhtar bowled a ball 100.2 MPH. That record still stands to this day.
Yes but 100 mph on a flat pitch isn't as bad as 75 on a farmers field
@@simoncampbell3144 Just to add that in the 1970s, there was an Australian bowler called Jeff Thomson who is considered to be the fastest of all time. His speed was only recorded once, at 99.7mph, but this was after an injury has slowed him down a fair bit!
@@simonround2439 Yeah, i always felt it was a pity Thommo's bowls weren't ever properly weighted for the record books. He was _fast._
Jomboy media cricket breakdowns is a must watch for those not familiar with the game.
If you ran over the line after catching the ball, it's 6 runs for the opposite side. So the only way to get the wicket if you have to go out, is throw it up, and leap back off the ground outside the boundary and catch it again.
That last catch, he actually threw it back to another player who caught it. It's not clear at all from the video. Just throwing the ball back in would not be out - it's because he threw it to another player who caught it that it's out.
Bowling is harder than pitching you know that right
Rather than breaking your cricket cherry, you should've said your breaking your cricket duck, as the term for being dismissed without scoring is being "out for a duck."
Hmmmm duck with cherry & red wine jous.fuck the cricket😍
10:54 he had to purposely throw it amd re-catch it, otherwise he wouldve carried the ball over the boundary rope for a 6 to the batting team (or home run in baseball terms)
Baseball Pitcher Throws. Cricket Bowler Bowls. There is a VAST difference.
Backyard cricket was a rite of passage for Aussie kids.
I love listening to cricket on the radio. England were playing the West Indies and this gem popped out of the commentators mouth "The batsmans Holding the bowlers Willie" 🙂
What you might like to know if your American and watching cricket for the first time is that a cricket ball is rock hard and heavy,( it could kill you if it landed on your head),esp compared to a baseball, cricketers regularly brake their fingers and split the webbing between fingers ie it takes a level of bravery to make some of these long catches esp with one hand.
KB, the pitchers in baseball are THROWING! With a bent arm. Bowlers in cricket are BOWLING, with a straight arm (they will be no-balled if they throw, and very quickly ejected from the game and the sport if they continue to throw). Also, cricket bowlers pitch the ball onto the ground before it reaches the batsman (99% of the time). The two games are not comparable. BTW, countries with some 2 BILLION population play it as a major (or THE major) sport.
Love football, love ice hockey. But cricket is amazing. Sorry no substance. Just love it!

Heh nice one, quite the rabbit hole! Probably like baseball highlight reels, there's hundreds of great catches which are difficult to rate better than others..
That's right, any part of the body touching the boundary rope or the ground beyond and it's six runs, unless the ball bounces in play first, then it's four. I think you can tumble into the stand in baseball but if you catch the ball it's still an out, unless that's recently changed.
Cricket outs are like runs in baseball, they're rare, so possibly why they're celebrated more than spectacular catches in baseball. Using a glove is obviously easier, but that just raises expectations. Baseball players would be expected to catch balls which would be amazing catches in cricket, it's just a different approach.
The Pitcher (bowler) can't throw the ball in cricket, you're only allowed a tiny amount of bend in the arm as you bowl, and only a slightly bigger margin of angle in the arm to start with. Rough guess would be average "fast ball" in cricket is about 10 to 15 mph slower than in baseball. A far higher % of pitchers throw 90mph+ than do bowlers, largely because bending your elbow is better than a run up for sheer pace.
It was actually females that invented bowling as you see it now. It used to be under arm, but the fashion for wide skirts meant that it was impossible for ladies to bowl like that.
A good video to see how it was not so long ago would be Michael Holding bowling to Brian Close. No helmets. Hardcore.
If the ball lands over the boundary, it’s out of play. Similarly, if the fielder touches the ground over the boundary while in contact with the ball, it’s out of play. That’s why you’re seeing the weird stuff in 1 and 2
In my experience this is hardest thing for people unfamiliar with cricket to understand. If you can wrap your head around this you are halfway there to understanding the game.
There are two batters (batsman) and two home plates (wickets). The pitcher (bowler) pitches (bowls) from one of the home plates (wickets) to the other home plate (wicket) for six pitches (bowls) and then another player is chosen to be the pitcher (bowler) who then pitches (bowls) from the opposite home plate (wicket). The batters (batsmen) need to 'run' to their opposite home plates (wickets) at the same time. If they both make it without the fielding team returning the ball to either of the home plates (wickets) they score a 'run'.
If the fielding team get the ball to either of the home plates (wickets) before the batter (batsman) then that batter (batsman) is out.
1. Shoaib Akhtar (Pakistan)- 161.3 kph (100.2 mph)
Nicknamed as the Rawalpindi Express, Akhtar was the first bowler to break the 100 mph. His fastest delivery was against England in the 2003 ICC World Cup. He took 178 Test wickets and 247 ODI wickets in a career spanning from 1997-2011
Pitcher! honestly that for putting my Pimms No1 in, in the summer time. Its a bowler. Cricket is the second most followed sport in the world after football (soccer) with an estimate 2.5 billions followers.
The first one is in my city of Wellington, New Zealand. The iconic grandstand identifies the ground. Largest road roundabout in southern hemisphere apparently
As an Englishman who absolutely loves baseball, it always enjoy when a baseball player ‘barehands’ a ball and the commentators lose their minds.
I’m travelling to America this month and catching three games while over there. It’s been 17 years since my last game. Cant wait.
Dare i say as a side note, cricket in India alone is probably way more popular than American Football is in USA, its insanely huge there and is that (along with Pakistan) that makes the cricket world cup one of the most viewed sporting events in the world.
I’m sure someone will already have told you this anecdote, but there was some cricket commentary a few decades ago which still makes me giggle… there was a batsman, as they’re called, who’s surname was Holding. The bowler, or in your terms, pitcher, had the surname Willy. The commentator said, “The batsman’s Holding the bowler’s Willy.” 😢😊
18 hours and I'm the first to give it a thumbs up? There's no justice in the world! None!
There's a few "cricket explained for baseball fans" I think you'd like
Yes, N0.1 & N0.2 if he's holding the ball and a foot touches on the ground over the line then it's NOT OUT. So they throw the ball up
an honourable mention would be England vs Australia (i think) the batsman hit the ball at the 2nd batsman and he tried to get out of the way but it hit the 2nd batsman bat and went up in the air then got caught... 1 in a million chance of seeing that happen and i think that was in 2022 or maybe 2021
regarding the "bowlers" throwing it while running at full speed, the top fast bowlers bowl at over 150kph, which is approaching 100mph... and they are allowed to aim at the batter, and it bounces off the floor, so the batter has to judge what height it will be when it arrives... infinitely more difficult than baseball
Two cricketers I would suggest watching, Adam Gilchrist, a Wicket Keeper (equivalent to the catcher) who made some spectacular catches, and could (and often did) utterly destroy bowling attacks. The other is Glen Maxwell's 200 at the world cup (while severely cramping).
There have been horrific infield injuries on Cricket Fields , two fielders going for a catch.
A lot of the time the reaction time the players have can be down to mere tenths of a second to make the catch. Poetry in motion when witnessing live.
Pakistan's Shoaib Akhtar bowled the fastest delivery in cricket's history when he cloaked a delivery at 161.3 kmph against England in the year 2003
Kph? Not a clue, it's about 100 Mph in what most would recognise? UK and US.
100.2MPH.but even in the 70's & 80's guys were reaching 80+.the West Indies phew.England never knew what hit them in 1980's tours.marshall,garner hitting you at 90 & in those days protection was limited to what it is today
This No.4 Bowler who did Acrobatic catch, is Corey Andrreson & he will soon Now Represent USA in the upcoming Twenty20 Format Cricket Worldcup this June in USA & Carribiean
In baseball, the pitcher bends hi arm at the elbow on delivery. In cricket, the bowler's arm must be straight. This is why a long run up is required for a fast bowler.
This had better be good - I just interrupted watching the IPL to see this 😂
Is the IPL still popular in India. I got sick of it after a few seasons.
Some of the close field catches are breathtaking
I'm both a cricket and baseball fan but for me nothing will ever beat when they hit a line drive in baseball and the pitcher grabs it in milliseconds. The one Yamamoto did last week was awesome and the one i can't remember who caught it but it's going right to his face on the mound as he turns away he puts his hand in front of his face and catches at the last second. Also another thing when i was at school i played cricket and had a ball smashed right in my nose, it was bleeding for about 45 minutes 😂😂
The rules on a ball by ball basis are probably much simpler than baseball as more possibilities are allowed (e.g. no foul balls). The combination of strategies is the thing that's definitely more complex and I haven't seen a video explaining that yet. (It would probably be five or six hours long.)
I think the point about number one is that he threw the ball to a team-mate who caught it
The pitcher is called a bowler. The fastest bowlers do about 99 per hour. The fastest was Shoab Akhtar from Pakiston. Most bowlers don't bowl that fast. Most fast bowlers try to get the ball to deviate to the right or left. They do this by their grip and using the wear on the ball. There are also slow bowlers. They bowl more slowly but spin the bowl at the point of delivery. This means that when the ball hits the pitch it deviates. Shane Warne could make it almost go sideways. The bowlers try to confuse the batsmen as to the direction of the ball by using different grips.
The #1 catch wasn't anything like American football where you've to catch it in bounds. The guy who went off the field threw it to his mate 30 yards away who caught it inside the field of play.
The bowlers in cricket have to deliver the ball with a straight arm but still get over 90mph
The bowler's put that bowl around 145 kilometres speed on that 20 yards pitch 🎉😂
The line is called the Boundary and marks the edge of the playing field. If the ball strikes the earth or the line it counts as 4 safe runs. If the ball goes over the line without contact with the earth or the line, it counts as 6 safe runs. He caught the ball inside the line, lost balance and realised that the would cross the line allowing 6 runs, so he tossed the ball before that happened, stepped over the line, regained balance and crossed back into the field in time to catch the ball before it struck the ground. The last one was similar except he passed the ball infield to another fielder.
If you want to get into watching cricket the 20 / 20 (20 overs for each side) shorter form of the game would be best for you and with the 20/20 World Cup being held this June in the States it would be the perfect opportunity.
The "pitcher" equivalent is a "bowler", and the run-up is required for balance and rhythm as they are not allowed to throw. The arm is not allowed to straighten through delivery, which takes away the baseball pitch style as a viable option. Its really quite difficult to bowl from a standing start.
There isn't the same spring and recoil available as with a throw, so momentum is built through the run-up and delivered through the shoulder and upper arm. The very fastest bowlers at international and professional level mostly sit just under 160kph (100mph), a little slower than the fast ball of a pro-baseballer. A few bowlers have had the occasional delivery recorded at just over 100mph, and some earlier ones estimated or recorded with less reliable equipment.
Also what they didn’t explain is that there are different types of bowlers, like pitches in Baseball. There are fast, swing, medium pace or spin bowlers. The bowlers use the wicket or atmospheric conditions to move the ball sideways or high or low. The wicket can be green(helping fast and medium bowlers), hard helping fast bowlers to get more bounce or dry wickets to help spinners. Each country has different types of wickets. Sub continent countries like India/ Pakistan specialise in Spin, England in swing and Green wickets, Australia and South Africa in hard bouncy wickets. In a 5 day game the wicket can deteriorate over the days making it harder to bat on later in the match. The toss at the beginning of a match determines who bats first and the winning captain of the toss decides whether to bat or bowl first, after trying to determine how the wicket will play over the length of the match
You want to see powerful bowling ? Curtley Ambrose - a really tall, extremely gangly powerhouse of a Jamaican. Absolutely awesome and scary as they come
Catch 2: Yes, if he’d have made contact with the boundary line the batsman would not be out and would score six runs. . They are called “bowler” not “pitcher” in cricket, and the fastest delivery is about 100mph. If ever you find a compilation of Cameron Green catches you’ll be in for a treat …. He’s a young Aussie with remarkable skills.
You need to check out Shayne Warne's spin bowling
Yes to more cricket reactions, can't wait!
And Pitcher = Bowler in cricket
Cricket games can last for 5 days. It's also the only game that has afternoon tea in the rules. The game stops for afternoon tea!
there are rules on how much you are allowed to bend your arm while throwing the ball as a bowler(pitcher). and if you bend, you are not allowed to straighten the arm. if the umpire notices it will be called a "No Ball" and a run is awarded to he batting team.
there was like a big drama/scandal revolving a Bowler named "Muttiah Muralitharan" from Srilanka back in the day, who went on to win the world cup and retire later as one of the greatest bowlers in the world.
26:52 he was trying to reach crease before fielder hit the stumps with the ball..and if umpire think batter intentionally try to stop the ball with the bat or with his body it's out
The catcher 10 and 2 are the same guy: Trent Boult of New Zealand. His specialty? Bowling, which is what we call pitchers in cricket.
Their's a position in cricket called silly mid off because the fielder stands yards away from the batter and possibly right In the way of the ball, hence why it's called silly.
Not quite as silly now they wear a helmet. ;)
And a box.
Unlike American Football it’s not to do with 2 feet being grounded, but the fielder has to have the ball and their body under control. If you’re falling over the boundary with 2 feet on the floor then you’re still not necessarily in control of both of those. The last catch was so good because he managed to throw it 20m to another fielder who took the catch
The cricket they're playing is either the worl cup game and you have to keep the ball in the field before crossing the line.
You ought do the nastiest injuries in cricket.
I was a fast , spin bowler through my teenage years, but gave it up for art and grafitti.
Number 4 is one of the more niche ways of getting out called "caught and bowled" where the bowler does both.
What you have to also remember here is that our cricket fielders don't wear gloves or a glove. That being the case they are I think a little bit more able to make some of these catches, where fielders in baseball are all about the glove hand only. So the bowlers, as "pitchers" are known in cricket cannot use a bent arm to make the delivery, and that reduces the speed of their delivery, hence to send down a fast ball they have the run up. Using that, the fastest can regularly send down balls 85 mph and up. The distance from delivery to the bat is around 20 yards. The ball must ground over the line for 6 runs, so it can be taken in mid air over the line so long as there is no contact between the man and the ground whilst the man is touching the ball, but it still has to be caught cleanly inside the line by someone.
The wicket keeper wears gloves.
@@user-yn3iq2on4s Seriously..... hair splitting. Get a life!
you are right about speed. If a good Fast bowler is on the ball. He could be bowling the ball at over 100mph and the batman has about half a second to bat, defend or dodge.
Cricket has borrowed some terms from baseball. Slider and knuckleball are types of delivery in cricket too. Changeup is also used but not quite the same reason as in baseball. Cricket’s version of what changeup means in baseball terminology is just called a “slower ball”
Pinch hit was in common usage but less so these days. Switch hit cricket also lifted from baseball although the difference is that batsmen start batting from one side and switch hands whilst the bowler is about to deliver.
In Australia’s incredible side in the late 90s to mid 00s they had a fielding coach called Mike Young who had a spell managing an affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, called Bluefield Orioles. I think I recall you wearing an Orioles jersey before so I assume you’re a fan of them.
Thé close to catches are always going to be less spectacular but more difficult since the catcher has no time to judge where the ball is going. It’s pure instinct
I was having a drink with a couple from the USA whilst in Crete, cricket was on in the bar tv and the guy thought is was boring and slow, and here we are needing replays to slow the action down.
The fastest recorded ball being bowled in cricket was 100.2 miles per hour (161.3 kpm)
