Look Baseball fans - No glove

Look Cricket fans - baseball has no thick batters gloves, leg pads of a hockey goalie, face mask, chest guard, thigh pad, shin guards
Carl Saberhagen wow...u r genius
libertyordeaf But not the batsman
Because the pitcher is aiming for a two foot square strike zone an arm's length from the batter's body. If pitchers could aim at any part of the body (as in cricket) then batters would be dressed like a Sherman tank.
Jonty Rhodes: "Finally!, A worthy Opponent!!".
" Our battle will be legendary "
Their battle will be legendary!!

0:10 "he's got it you champion!" what a brilliant piece of commentary
Smithy is a fantastic commentator
@@alzym1803 sure is!
That's Ian Smith
that catch is really worth 5k great job m8
Why does het get the money? Is this a rule?
Arn Gyssels its jst an offer in some leagues to lure in crowds
shaun kilfoyle who gives 5k?
5000 Aussie dollars 4000 US dollars
5000 NZD not aussie dammit
That was a great catch.
I like how he pulled his hand back when he caught is so there was no pain.
Brian P. we're taught this thing in physics classes in middle School :p
cute
ok then thanks for that
He was not pulling back his hands. The ball was going in the opposite direction to the one he ended up sliding, so he had to let it stretch out to make sure it stayed in his grasp.
It usually happens in high catches. As the ball nears the ground there is a sudden away moment. Its because the ball is pressured into a certain drift because of the breeze above the stadium height. But once it comes below that level, that pressure is released and the ball suddenly pushes itself to its natural drift and as an out fielder, there is no way you can calculate that. That is what happened in this case and he could make that adjustment only because he had his eyes on the ball. You could have seen the ball's away drift more clearly had the camera captured it from straight ahead rather than from the side...
And thats why its a really great catch!!
Looked like he smacked it on the grass
but great catch
I like how he's so shy and hiding behind his girlfriend hahaha
yeah
He is not hiding. He just doesn't know where the camera is.
He seems to be looking at the big screen and knows he was being screened.
You clearly don't know much about the married life
God damn you got both top comments eh
By the way, who's here after the security guard 😂😂👍
Me😂😂😂. His calmness level 🔥
😅😅
How come u know
Meee
Finally met someone like me 😂
Sliding on his rear downhill barefoot... The stuff of legends !
I've seen a lot of great crowd catches over the years and there's a few that stand out for me in a league of their own. This one is top of that league! Not only did he take this one handed but he's got up and ran 15 or so meters down the slope, he's also barefooted on lush green grass in the evening so there would have been a decent dew present. He's also lost his footing and still managed to keep control of his arm to take the catch! This is an absolutely astonishing catch because of all these factors and the guy is an absolute champion! I honestly don't think I'll ever see a better one and is by far the best one I've ever seen!
This is the best catch I have ever seen even better than players
+ijlal ulhaq and that's because the ground is flat... so no sliding
Check out video titled Evan longoria saves reporter's life
Me too
Very hard to catch that because that is not a flat outfield.
than you should start watching IPL
Guy having a picnic, wet grass, bare feet, probably 5 beers, down a hill, spectator in vision, falls sliding down incline backwards, throws out 1 hand, catches cleanly inches off ground. As good a catch I've seen in 40 plus years of watching sport, beyond belief!!
Ian Smith is an Electric Commentator. 🔥
Absolutly 🎉
If this catch was caught in india then the winner would lose half his money on taxes.😂😂😂
only-30%
but friends would really ask for beeer that day.
@Captain World Tax is very high in India bruh. For example, a mustang costs $100k+ in India while in the US it costs around $26k
33% only

Nice One !
He caught it like a Pro Cricketer !
That ain't skill, that's pure feeling, he felt it, he went for it, don't care what anyone says, Great catch
Fucken hell, you'd think they'd double it or something. That was outstanding!
I remember watching this live, this guy was humble as could be, an absolute champion.
Legend has it, when he threw that cricket ball up in the air it landed on someone's head. He had to compensate $5000 to the person he injured.
Excellent ..fair play to the guy ...Great catch..
gf: what do you do ?
Some dude: I catch balls .
Underrated comment 😂
least he doesn't 'cup' balls
Gay
i thought it said i scratch balls
This story will be passed in his generations . Truly heroic
Want to know something even more interesting about this catch? It's his wifes brother in law who hit the six he caught!
Yeah absolutely true because Internet says so.
@Project Diversion not necessarily - batsman's wife is the catcher's wife's sister.
@@ConradMcBad why did he win 4000 dollars?
@Project Diversion not unless the batter married her sisters. But the batter would then be just as much his brother in law as his wifes brother in law.
@Project Diversion well him can be the boyfriend of the sister of the girl. :v
the most beautiful catch taking ever i have seen is this..
you haven't seen professional cricket it seems
its not beautiful just luck
Yups pi chan
Uh! Please see the catches that happen at the big bash/ IPL, your mind will explode in astonishment.
Pi Chan you are illiterate.
That catch is worth more than 5000 dollars
Then pay him more...
is a cricket ball like hard to catch or something i dont see the big deal pls explain
Leighton Morrissey Similar size and weight as a baseball. One handed diving catch like that is incredibly difficult.
Michael Scott it weighs quite a bit more than baseball i believe
Dan Man dumbfuck
You know it’s a good catch when a guy you’re with loses out on $5000 but just stands and points in amazement
That really was a hell of a barehand snatch. Barefoot and sliding. No warm up. Probably a couple beers in him. Love it. XD
I love how everyone is admiring the catch and no one is talking about the fact that, that was actually a really good shot!
commentator did acknowledge that
When I was a child I always used to think I will go to a cricket match and catch a ball one handed and the whole world is than talking about me and I get popular and earn shut loads of money.
Everyone has a that kind a fantasy
I've seen it once, recently. The guy didn't even spill his beer. Everyone was cheering him every time he left his seat
I have to admit, I didn't think it was going to be anywhere NEAR that good. What a grab!
He even recovered from a failed fist bump with style, he high five the guy and went for the bump, saw the guy getting away so he switched to a finger swing in the air to play it off,
a real champion indeed.
And the next he receives a letter from New Zealand Cricket Association to become their fielding coach......
Jonty Rhodes will be very impressed
00:40 "he married a muffin"
Had it happened inside the ropes, it would surely would have featured in the top 20 or 30 of all time best catches list! Remember, thats not a close-in field catch! Great reflexes!!!!
His catch was better than whole Pakistani team fielding skills summed up.
Americans sat there confused that people can catch a hard ball without a glove
"YOU ABSOLUTE CHAMPION!" .... best part
Some basball fans commenting there are lot of protection in cricket for batters. Yes its true since there is no restriction on bowlers to taget any patt of a batters body. Players have died by getting hit on head 😔 Its not easy when u hit on head at 90 miles per hour even with an helmet. 😢
“He’s got it! He’s got it!” I thought it was the World Cup final
*Spirit animal of DJ Bravo* 👍
It's like Golf, 90% luck and 10% effort. 👍👊
Well ur half correct..as there is also a spin category where bowler bowls slow ball but it turns too much so technique and skill is required as on dry pitches ball comes after a slight stop at pitch while in grassy pitch ball gets too much swing
How can 975 people dislike this vid, it's fun and positive.
I didn't "dislike" the video. I won't down vote it either. But...WE DON'T UNDERSTAND...and no explanation is OFFERED. WTF would an idiot in the "crowd" get 5000k NZ or $4000 dollars USD for catching a dumb cricket ball hit? (and I am NOT a baseball fan either - talk about a BORING game)
@@edgewood99
Dunno mate, I can only guess that it's some pre arranged thing that if a chosen batsman hits a six and a spectator catches it with one hand you win a prize.
This video deserves every thumb down it gets.
The best catch I've seen in my whole life.
I'll never forget this
I love it when the commentators scream "ohh!"
Amazing, the guy next to him was so happy for him. In many countries the other guy would have either pushed him away or stepped on him and neither would have caught the ball. Rare to see such human beings, when as much as 5k money is involved.
His partner supporting him is the best thing ever
Legend has it his girl took the money and ran😂
and he couldn't catch her...
@@spinningnumbers lmao
The best outfielders in baseball need a glove to pull this off! kudos to this man, hats off
I gave up trying to understand crickets rules but I can tell this is beautiful. Well done mate!
This was satisfying to watch. What an insane catch! And I love how the commentators went wild. 😂🔥
RUclips recommended it to me after 9 years, what a beautiful catch man😂
they made it 4000 bc they knew the wife would get a new pair of shoes and a handbag...
Well, the description explains why but no one ever looks at those...
So they made it less cause he would have to spend more? Joke doesn't make sense
Love how he unzipped his jacket in celebration 😂
The comentator said $5000 catch and the title says $4000
5000 NZ$ are around 4000USD. It's in the description. Have a nice day :)
where does he get the money from?? and why?? if you catch a cricket ball you get money??
Caza_films The uploader was talking about himself making 4k from the catch.
Please do consider reading the description of the video.
Taxes ?
The way he did that slide, I thought that guy was Neymar, as in disguise.
😂😂😉
And, he is here with his sister to celebrate her birthday 🤣🤣🤣
@@abhisheknegi57 ahahaha😂😂
That's 5k catch indeed
oh man ! changed his life maybe 4k $ !
Plot twist : He was Jonty Rhodes's fielding coach
Plot twist: he is your actual dad
0:13 So, no covid at that time. What a wonderful time we had then.
Yes 😌😌
The commentary box seemed more impressed with the catch on the replay, you can hear everyone in the background clapping and slapping their knees with astonishment.
His girlfriend :- ok good job , let's go for shopping
He :- 🥺🥺😩😩😣😣😖
That's a story...especially when you think it's cricket these people were watching.. xD
1000 dislikes by Americans trying to catch with a giant glove on.
Great balance mate, very nice catch!
Some ppl will called he took that catch by fluke but still that catch was unbelievable while he was sliding down
that catch deserves a million dollars. some fans make catching so easy and some players make it look so hard
If a member of the public catches a ball then the player should still be OUT!
i love cricket
SelfieTamilan we all do does
who pays him that money and why are they giving it to him??
Sponsorship pays a certain amount for a clean one handed catch at most NZ games. It very rarely happens as even taking a two handed catch is difficult for fans at the cricket.
SelfieTamilan You probably like to watch paint dry aswell.
MLG_420 QUICKSCOPE why are you here then?
ACTULLY HE IS NOT HAVING THAT BATSMAN IN HIS DREAM 11 TEAM AND WANTED TO OUT HIM
*BUT UNFORTUNATELY NO ONE TOOK IS CATCH*
That’s a 10,000 dollar catch to be honest👌🏻
'Out,'
'What, its outside the boundary.?
'Don't care you are out.'
*jonty rodhes greatest fielder ever i seen and after this* 😊😊
How is there no comment explaining why this man was paid money for catching that ball.. why aren’t there more people there if that’s a possibility?
What this guy said
Yeah, I've scrolled so far down and still don't see why.
Same!! Why are people getting money for catching?
Yeah, do you win thousands every time you catch a ball at the cricket?
Damn that’s madd
Now he'll be bought for 2000 Rupees and play in PSL. 😂
His hand was killing him! He wasn’t embarrassed, he went to go cry!
His medical bill was 10k dollars for his hip replacement surgery.
Every successful man there is a woman behind...
Praveen Phillip And behind her is his wife :-D
Sajjad Mehal savage😂😂😂
Yeah he definitely wouldn't have caught that without her tremendous effort.
You mean women are always behind men in everything? lol
...and every successful woman there's a man checking out her behind
Father:- Son, you don't know how much of hard work you need to do to put every penny on the table.
Son:-
Saved that guy’s life in the process. Ledge.
I thought ian Smith is gonna say 'he's got the hat-trick at lords'

He didn't catch the ball ....No, the ball caught him
Ohh what a catch
No time to think about it, great catch. Pure skill.

How many times did they say $5K in the video yet they still couldn't get it right in the headline?.
He had the presence of mind to catch the ball and win 5000$ very smart guy.....
wherever cricket is played, you'll see at least one INDIAN name!

NZ 5k ! us 4k
And tennis fans call a catch when girls & boys grabs the ball.
I like it how the other guy wants to celebrate with him and he's not interested
Legit the best catch I have ever seen
