The fielder has the option of throwing the ball at either end, and makes the decision based on the relative likelihood of success, depending on which batsman/batter is farther away from safety.
@@alanmorris9425 It's not miss field if anything it's miscommunication between batsmen. In case of a miss field fielders make the error like not stopping a run or more, dropping a catch like that.
And a note to Americans, there’s an added embarrassment for a batsman being run out: you don’t have to run. You can decide not to, so you’ve decided on what turned out to be an unnecessary risk.
In T20 though if you don't run on such shots specifically in late stages with a significant target to chase it's more humiliating. I think you are obliged to run even if it's not mandatory in those scenarios.
11:11 coincidentally, his name is also Pattrick. Thats Patrick (Pat) Cummins, one of the great fast bowlers in the world and the Australian Captain right now.
Cricket Wickets have a stump height of 28” (71.12 cm) and width of 9” (22.86 cm). The three stumps of the wicket have diameters between 1.375”-1.5” (34.9-38.1 mm). The pair of bails set on top of the stumps have lengths of 4.375” (111.13 mm) with a maximum height above the stump of . 5” (12.7 mm).
You can runout either batsman. Usually it's easier to run out the hitter (aka "striker" in cricket) because the non-striker has a head start running as they don't need to worry about playing the shot. They can creep like a metre or so just while the ball is delivered so they have a huge advantage running (plus their momentum is already going). The batsman who gets out is the one who is closest to that end you hit the stumps at. So if both batsmen are caught in the middle of the wicket, whoever has their legs or whatever closer to the struck end is gone.
Jonny Rhodes (South Africa) will remain the most famous and best run out in cricket... The run out that made Jonty Rhodes famous and South Africa a recognized force in cricket
Man I keep watching and your observations are so damn accurate and exhaustive! You don't miss a thing, man! Gotta be an amazing talent! Super impressed! You are already above the level of 90% fans who have been watching for years!
A lot of cricket teams have have in recent years employed former baseballers to improve their ground fielding and get more run-outs, particularly in the limited over formats (coloured clothing games) Cricketers have always been brilliant catchers, but run outs have been greatly improved in the last 30 years.
Three rules of taking quick singles; 1) if you set out do not hesitate. 2) If it is a run only if the fielder misses, then do not go, unless the match situation gives you no choice! 3) you need to know whether a fielder throws left or right-handed; it makes a big difference.
The last one at around the 11-minute mark, that's late in the day and it's Pat Cummins, one of Australia's leading bowlers. At this stage, he had been bowling for much of the day, so he would have every right to be tired, but he's still managed to hit the stumps from almost side-on and off balance. It would be a bit like a pitcher who's pitched 8 innings but instead of having a rest, he goes and plays shortstop in the 9th innings and pulls off a spectacular play to get the last out.
You are correct about the infield. The inner circle basically helps with the fielding restrictions to make the game more entertaining. The fielding side has to have so many people in the inner circle so they just can't sit everyone back and guard the boundary.
The circle is used in Limited overs Cricket, at the start of a game called the Power Play, a number of fielders have to be inside the line, this frees up the outfield and should in theory allow a team to score big early on, as there is more space to hit 4s and 6s. The circle can come into play at the end of a game, if the fielding side are slow to chalk off their overs and a time penalty is exceeded, then they have to bring players into the circle, this can be exciting in tight games when time pressure lies heavy on the fielders and and a small amount of runs are needed to win a game by the batters.
10:55 one thing that made that run out so special, was that guy was a fast bowler and it was right at the end of a long days play. So he had been putting in the work all day, and still summoned up enough for that. That is what the "test" in test cricket is all about
At 7:15 “what is the significance of throwing to the other wicket?” … the nonstriking batsmen is usually already moving and has already made more progress. The striking batsmen needs to get going and he’s usually a few paces behind so the other end is the greater odds of getting him out.
One thing for you guys to know also is that: ' the line belongs to the field'. That means the batsman has to have his bat or any part of his body grounded OVER the crease line, not on it.
You can run out either batsman ..... generally you throw at the one that you think you have the best chance of hitting. But if you have a great batsman at one end and a not very good one at the other end you might always try and get the greatbatsman out even if it's a harder throw !. By the way the bat has to be grounded behind the line for the batsman to be 'in'. On the line would count as 'out'
The bowler threw to the other end because the player running to the end he was nearest to had already made his ground. If you look on the extreme right edge of the screen you can just see the bat (the bat is considered to be part of the batter). Sometimes they will try to "run out" one batter instead of the other, for instance when they have been scoring all of the runs, but usually they'll just throw to the end that gives the best chance of a successful run-out.
Loved watching this guys. I love the short games like T20's etc (when they wear coloured outfits) when they're all in white they are playing Test Cricket for their country.
Don't forget that this is a compilation of successful throws! For every one like that, there are many that go wide of the target. However, the players do practice this a lot and demonstrate great skill levels - even when they just get it close, but not quite on target.
7:25 you can run out any batsman as long as they are outside the line. Most of the times you wanna get the one out who is scoring the most runs, other times you just get the one out who is farthest out from the line (crease).
7:40 it was because the batter running in the same direction was possibly in front of him so would easily make it in but also runner running opposite direction assumed andslowed down his run lol but surprise ball came his way
A Run-out has to be at the end the person who is caught short is running to. So you can't run out the batsman who is out of their crease with the wicket at the other end to where they are running. You have to break the stumps at the end to which they are running (the same as you can't run a batter out at second by throwing it to the third baseman). The umpire needs to be able to see the bat and the stumps at the same end in his field of view (and he will be concentrating on the stumps, not the whole pitch). The line around the field part way to the boundary is used in One Day Cricket as there are limits to how many fielders you can have in the in-field and out-field at various points of the innings. You can run someone out from a throw anwhere from the boundary rope to right next to the stumps. The fielding side player at the stumps can take a throw that isn't going to be a direct hit and grab it and break the stumps with the ball in his hand, as long as the bails on top of the wicket (aka stumps) come off before the batsman or the batsman's bat (assuming they have it in their hand) touches the crease at that end of the pitch. Also in a similar way, if the bowler bowls the ball, and the battsman misses it, and goes out of his crease, the wicket keeper can catch it and break the stumps. If the battsman does not have themselves or their bat in hand inside the crease, they are out. Usually that is only do-able with spin bowlers as the keeper is immediately behind the stumps. With fast bowlers the wicket keeper is 20 yards away behind the stumps as he needs the extra time and distance to see the ball to catch it.
Yes, for the purposes of running (between the Wickets) the Bat is considered as part of the body. Therefore the Runner only has to reach his Bat over the "Crease" line to be considered safe. Sometimes you'll see them diving in order to be safe before the fielders hit the Wicket. When the Batters are running, the fielders can choose to throw the ball at either end, whichever end seems the more likely for a Run-out. doesn't matter, any end will do.
Just to clarify, the bat must be in the hand to be considered part of the body. The same as the glove is part of the bat but only if that hand is on the bat.
Good comments on the similarities between cricket and baseball fielding techniques. Fun fact, an American (Mike Young) was the fielding coach for the Australian Cricket Team back in the 2000s. Probably responsible for the elevation of fielding in the last 20-odd years.
Ricky Ponting has the most run outs in international cricket, with around 80. Mostly they were with direct hits. Here is a compilation of many (all?) of them. ruclips.net/video/kZZLFMZ3Wyw/видео.html Another compilation with replays of the runouts ruclips.net/video/C6JZuJEqoww/видео.html
@@riefaatdaniels9635 Ponting was better than JR who fielded in 1 position only .Ponting was brilliant fielding anywhere. JR had to be a great fielder because he was a very very average batsman period!
To throw it at the opposite end may be an easier target to hit, but I also imagine that the batter at the bowlers end would already be running. More likely to be some hesitation from the batter facing because he's most likely on his back foot, and will have a slower reaction time.
You can throw the ball to either end when attempting a run out, full discretion to the fielding team. The players have to make a split-second decision based on which wicket is easiest to hit, which batsman is furthest out from their ground, is anyone else on the team backing up (ie: waiting behind) that wicket in case they miss. There's no rule stating that a player must try to run out a specific batsman from a specific end.
At 7:20 The nearside batsman [non batter] was nearly home whilst the batter set off late and so the bowler had more chance to get him out at the other end. Any batsmen can be out. If the batsmen cross then they have to continue. But if the don't cross, then they have to stay at their original ends. If both batsmen end up at the same end [and they have not crossed], and the fielding team knock the bails off the unoccupied wicket, then the batsman who was at that end is out.
You can throw at either set of stumps, it’s just a judgement call Also you’re taught as a batter (at least in England) that if the ball goes behind you as the batter who is facing that it’s your batting partners call (yes/no/wait) if it goes in front of the stumps it’s your call as the batter facing
7:17 - He could throw it to any side. In this case, the batsman running to the bowler's front side already made it. Or, the batsman running the other side wasn't expecting the bowler to throw it towards the side he was running, so he surprised him.
1 - the bat must cross the "crease" line ON THE GROUND. 2. Often the wicket keeper (catcher) stands next to the stumps and the fielder throws to him (like 1st base) and he then takes off the bails with the ball. If you watch losely you will see a lot of movement to back up in case he misses the throw 4. Either player can be run out... fielders choice as to which base to throw to. I cant remember the rule exactly, but only one player can be run out then the ball is dead - no double plays.
The rules of calling as a batsman are key. If you hit the ball in front of square leg, where the second umpire stands, it’s your decision to run, the other batsman need to go with your call. If the ball goes behind you, the other batsman calls for a run or not. Both need to work together on every run, every decision to run, governed by the ball going in front or behind you on strike
Yep so just on the "safe" area... the bat must be touching *past* the line. On the line is still out. They've still got an inch or so to go to be safe. Another thing is you must be touching the ground. If the bat bounces up in the air or is not slid along the ground, you're not safe yet!
@@alansizer2006True if you did achieve grounding you are fine. I was more thinking if you tried to slide your bat and the bat bounces up on you from the footmarks before safe you could be in trouble.
You can run either player out but the fielders have to make a split second decision on which side they want to aim at depending on which batter is hesitating, is the slower runner, does not have the momentum or started running later, which side is the fielder closest to or which side he feels he has cover so that if he misses the stumps there is a covering fielder who would catch the ball and prevent giving away extra runs..
There are a couple of reasons a fielder (in this case the bowler) would want to throw the ball at the opposite wicket:- 1, The out may be more sure since the batsman is further away from completing the run or 2. The fielding side may want to get the more "dangerous batsman" out. So a batsman with a higher average number of runs would be more dangerous to the fielding side, his wicket would be the more prized wicket to get.
Correct assessment. Its about which opportunity to take. He could throw at either end, but thought would be able to catch the other person outside the crease👍
7:22 The fielders can hit either stumps to take any batsmen out, but the one running opposite the bowler must have been a good batsman and taking him out would have been important. Its like if bowler is X, and there are two batsmen A (is a hitter) and B (actually a bowler or may be an all rounder) on the pitch, then it makes much more sense to take out A who is scoring run after run.
No. The fielder can choose which end they want to throw at. Sometimes, it's obvious that one runner has further to go and that end (wicket) is the better target. Sometimes, if both runners could potentially be thrown 'out' the fielder will go for the better batsman (for example, if a top-of-the-order batsman is partnering with a lower-order batsman). It happens so fast - the decision is pretty much on instinct.
Yes I was assuming that would be in there but these types of video of 'the greatest...whatever' are always from the last few years. I remember watching Harper's run out of Gooch live. Gooch looked bewildered. He thought he had just hit a 4! Harper was amazing in the field. Derek Randall was another top fielder from back in the day and obviously there's Jonty Rhodes, as has been mentioned by several others already. Harper on Gooch is still my favourite run-out though.
At 8:20 that's Ravi Jadeja...Best Fielder in Cricket..He has a rocket arm and this video only shows run outs in which Team Aus was in the match...You can probably found some other videos which will give u much better run outs than shown in the video..And Yes, Outfield runouts r rare because of 2 reasons first its really hard to aim from that far and second Mostly fielder throw balls in the hands of the keeper and Then keeper run outs the Batsman.
you can throw the ball to either side, there is no rule that prevents you from doing so. However, the consideration on choosing which side to throw on could depend on a few things such as: 1) a batsman hesitated and you can get that person out before they get to their crease (line). 2) you want to go after the better or more dangerous of the 2 batsman, typically a well set batsman who has been playing in an innings longer has their eye set better and can be more destructive as the game goes on so it is in the opposing teams interest to get them out as quick as they can. 3) depending on the order of the batsman that came in, higher order batsman are proper batsmen while lower order players are typically more skilled at bowling - so your odds of going through the lower order and getting them out is better than proper higher order designated batsmen and 4) one of the batsmen may just be a slower runner. There may be other reasons. But, you can take your pick and throw to either side
One other thing to note guys... a cricket ball is harder than a baseball but generally isn't hit as fast. Fielders don't have mitts so these guys really have to take the ball pretty cleanly to not get injured especially when the ball is new as it is much harder new. Has a coat of lacquer on it and that will wear off and the leather softens quite a bit over time. I'd say most cricketers have damaged digits on their fingers from where a ball was not taken cleanly.
I played village cricket for a time and once went to catch a ball on the boundary. It went through the gap between my ring and pinky fingers and the webbing between split like a torn rubber glove, ouch and then stitches.
The decision on who to run out could be because the runner could have taken off earlier (like stealing a base in baseball) and so there is more time to get the batter out. Also, it could be to get a batmans who is performing well out instead of the other batter. Or just personal...
You will see more runouts from the outfield, but they tend not to be direct hits like the ones in this video. Batters misjudge second or third runs a fair bit, but what'll happen more often in those cases is that the ball will be thrown to the wicket keeper or bowler and they'll break the stumps.That's a bit less dramatic so it's less highlight-reely - it generally feels more like an error on the batters' parts than a brilliant play by a single fielder.
When one batter runs, and the other doesn’t, it’s absolutely recognized as an error, whether he has to turn back halfway or if the other gets out because he starts late, but I don’t know if there is a specific term for it. There ought to be at least, there are terms for so many things.
And as a few others have said, the choice of which wicket to go for depends on several factors. The one about 7:50 in, where the fielder picked it up, span and released first time for the furthest wicket, seems likely that he was specifically trying to get that batter out as it was a much harder throw, so the batter was probably an actual batsman, rather than a bowler, so it’s worth the risk
If you are throwing from near to side on to the wicket you have a target that is less than 1.5 inches wide. If there is time you do have the option to throw to the wicket-keeper, bowler or another fielder up by the stumps, for them to complete the run out.
When deciding which end to throw the ball at the wicket, one of the decisions could be to try and get the better batsman out or the batsman with the most runs. There are specialist batsmen and specialist bowlers but few who are good at both. Therefore, if you have a chance of running a top batsman out you want to be aware of who is at the wicket so it’s easy to make that decision if the opportunity arises.
@@RealFansSports These players practice throwing at a stump from a distance all day long. It is years of practice that produces the accuracy. But it is incredibly important to be accurate. Not only do you get a player out, if you miss and the ball keeps going, the batsmen can easily score more runs. So accuracy is essential. This athleticism is why cricket has been popular for hundreds of years, and is played in so many countries. It was always funny to me that for most of my life Americans tended to say that cricket is boring. Only someone who has never watched much cricket could say that. The cricket audience and player base is 2.5 billion people, making it the second most popular sport in the world after soccer. It is popular because the skills of these players is simply amazing, and can be enthralling to watch. Then throw in the nationalism aspect from so much cricket being international competition, and it excites and thrills entire nations. Most sports are based on national competitions. Even soccer doesn't have the international character of cricket, where international games are the norm.
@@artistjoh well there’s also a lot of Americans that find baseball boring to lol. I think the reason for people not giving it a try is because of their dedication to something else and trying to downplay another sport. And yeah that style of practice is used in baseball too. You have to be extremely fast and accurate to throw people out just like in cricket. It’s amazing those that have mastered both of those fast and accurate
@@RealFansSports Did you discover the spin bowling wizardry of Shane Warne yet? I love the variety in the types of bowling in cricket, but the most difficult thing for the batsman is that due to spin and using the seam on the ball the batsperson has only the fraction of a second after the ball bounces to decide how to play the ball or even to work out where in heck it is. The unpredictability from a good bowler means that the batsperson so often has no idea what the ball is doing. There is also courage involved as it is legal to hit the batsman with the ball. The cricket ball is heavy and very hard, so I can confirm that it hurts like heck to get hit by that thing. There have been many deaths over the years from being struck by the ball, usually in the head or neck. Most recently was an Australian player who died in 2015 from being struck by the ball. OTOH, when a batsperson is in the groove, their ability to make lemonade from the lemon of that ball's behavior can be sheer magic. I once had the privilege of seeing Dean Jones knock a century before lunch, from the ladies pavilion at the Sydney Cricket Ground. It was a masterclass in finding the holes in the fielding, and making the bowlers look like amateurs. He mixed it up so much the other team were flummoxed in how to set the field to somehow reign him in. I remember standing to applaud him as he came in for lunch. I had one of my sons with me. He loves cricket, and it was a deeply meaningful father/son thing to share that moment together.
You can be run out at either end... the person closest to the end that broken (the ball hitting the wickets - not sticks!) is out... so both batsmen are in jeopardy when running.
In cricket there is no specific term for in the batters hesitate when running.. the commentators call is indecision, stutter, hesitation or misunderstanding depending on what happened but there is no specific term that is used as part of the sport
In ODI and T20 cricket there are set of rules for number of fielders within the 30 yard circle and outside and those rules depends on the powerplay during the game. PS: You can do a research on the Powerplay rules in ODI and T20. There are no powerplays in test cricket.
The fielder chooses which batsman he wants to run out. Generally he will try for the better batsman who is scoring freely. But in the case here, the batsman nearest him was definitely going to make the line before the fielder could hit the stumps. So the fielder span around and went for the other end of the pitch where the batsman had a few more steps to go.
oh you guys will go bonkers if you see videos of silly point fielding position in cricket. that is literally bat sh*t crazy position to field at. but players still do it.
Hi guys, you have picked on the mess that indecisiveness plays. Along with the pleasure of watching the athleticism. If your curious look up Viv Richards three runouts in the 1975 CWC. Your observation about similarities between baseball and cricket roles.
The batsman/runner DOES NOT have to cross the crease (or line as you mentioned) the tip of the bat has to cross it. That's why the runner is reaching out with his bat.
Whichever batsman is a threat to the team they try to remove him. No matter which end because once a batsman gets comfortable with bowlers spinners or fast bowlers and he makes good runs, they try getting him out so that the new batsman coming takes a few balls before trying big shots..
You can try to run any of the two batsman out. It doesn't have to be the one that was on strike. So you throw to the end where you think you have the best chance of running the batter out.
The significance of throwing the ball to the other wicket is to get the strong batter out. Since both of the batters are out for a run, u know who poses the threat if given a chance. PICK THAT GUY UP
The bat needs to pass the crease which marks where they are "in". The bat must be on the ground though, so diving with the bat in the air would not count. Also, the bails (little pieces of wood on top of the stumps) must lose contact for it to be out.
I would like to suggest that when you guys are reacting to cricket videos, have a third person who knows cricket so that your questions are instantly solved, that gives a better learning
That is actually a plan of ours. We just have to set it up. I think it would help us a lot and bring some interest content for y’all watching! Thanks for the suggestion

An underrated fine run-out specialist was England's Derek Randall. A fine player at either square leg or point.
Some of these run outs are the classic 'Yes, NOOOO....sorry' types!
A Run-out has to be at the end the person who is caught short is running to. So you can't run out the batsman who is out of their crease with the wicket at the other end to where they are running. You have to break the stumps at the end to which they are running (the same as you can't run a batter out at second by throwing it to the third baseman). The umpire needs to be able to see the bat and the stumps at the same end in his field of view (and he will be concentrating on the stumps, not the whole pitch).
The line around the field part way to the boundary is used in One Day Cricket as there are limits to how many fielders you can have in the in-field and out-field at various points of the innings. You can run someone out from a throw anwhere from the boundary rope to right next to the stumps. The fielding side player at the stumps can take a throw that isn't going to be a direct hit and grab it and break the stumps with the ball in his hand, as long as the bails on top of the wicket (aka stumps) come off before the batsman or the batsman's bat (assuming they have it in their hand) touches the crease at that end of the pitch.
Also in a similar way, if the bowler bowls the ball, and the battsman misses it, and goes out of his crease, the wicket keeper can catch it and break the stumps. If the battsman does not have themselves or their bat in hand inside the crease, they are out. Usually that is only do-able with spin bowlers as the keeper is immediately behind the stumps. With fast bowlers the wicket keeper is 20 yards away behind the stumps as he needs the extra time and distance to see the ball to catch it.
This video is not about world cricket its all about Australian cricket only😂😂
Should do stumpings...especially the Johnny Bairstowe one where Carey stumped him...that one really made the Poms have a sook!
😅😂
Yes, for the purposes of running (between the Wickets) the Bat is considered as part of the body. Therefore the Runner only has to reach his Bat over the "Crease" line to be considered safe. Sometimes you'll see them diving in order to be safe before the fielders hit the Wicket.
When the Batters are running, the fielders can choose to throw the ball at either end, whichever end seems the more likely for a Run-out. doesn't matter, any end will do.
Just to clarify, the bat must be in the hand to be considered part of the body. The same as the glove is part of the bat but only if that hand is on the bat.
@11:01 that's Mark Waugh, one of tghe best fielders the game has ever seem Great balance, beautiful hands, fantastic awareness.
@7:25, you can throw at any end, but it is better towards where the batter is little far off, so you get a better chance at run-out
Good comments on the similarities between cricket and baseball fielding techniques. Fun fact, an American (Mike Young) was the fielding coach for the Australian Cricket Team back in the 2000s. Probably responsible for the elevation of fielding in the last 20-odd years.
The two bits balancing on the wicket posts are the bales. The aim is too knock that off in play to a get a runout. If the batsman is off his crease.
If you liked that check out the run out highlights of Ricky Ponting - the greatest run out machine in cricketing history.

@@andrewburgess8529 hey you auusie Ricky is so fucking person and a cheater
@2:16 the stumps are 28" high, so just under two and a half feet.
Ricky Ponting has the most run outs in international cricket, with around 80. Mostly they were with direct hits.
Here is a compilation of many (all?) of them. ruclips.net/video/kZZLFMZ3Wyw/видео.html

But he still not better than Johnty Rhodes the greatest fielder period
@@riefaatdaniels9635 Ponting was better than JR who fielded in 1 position only .Ponting was brilliant fielding anywhere. JR had to be a great fielder because he was a very very average batsman period!
To throw it at the opposite end may be an easier target to hit, but I also imagine that the batter at the bowlers end would already be running. More likely to be some hesitation from the batter facing because he's most likely on his back foot, and will have a slower reaction time.
You can throw the ball to either end when attempting a run out, full discretion to the fielding team. The players have to make a split-second decision based on which wicket is easiest to hit, which batsman is furthest out from their ground, is anyone else on the team backing up (ie: waiting behind) that wicket in case they miss. There's no rule stating that a player must try to run out a specific batsman from a specific end.
At 7:20 The nearside batsman [non batter] was nearly home whilst the batter set off late and so the bowler had more chance to get him out at the other end.
Any batsmen can be out. If the batsmen cross then they have to continue. But if the don't cross, then they have to stay at their original ends. If both batsmen end up at the same end [and they have not crossed], and the fielding team knock the bails off the unoccupied wicket, then the batsman who was at that end is out.
8:09 legendary Jadeja throw 💥
You can throw at either set of stumps, it’s just a judgement call
Also you’re taught as a batter (at least in England) that if the ball goes behind you as the batter who is facing that it’s your batting partners call (yes/no/wait) if it goes in front of the stumps it’s your call as the batter facing
7:17 - He could throw it to any side. In this case, the batsman running to the bowler's front side already made it. Or, the batsman running the other side wasn't expecting the bowler to throw it towards the side he was running, so he surprised him.
1 - the bat must cross the "crease" line ON THE GROUND.
2. Often the wicket keeper (catcher) stands next to the stumps and the fielder throws to him (like 1st base) and he then takes off the bails with the ball. If you watch losely you will see a lot of movement to back up in case he misses the throw
4. Either player can be run out... fielders choice as to which base to throw to. I cant remember the rule exactly, but only one player can be run out then the ball is dead - no double plays.
The rules of calling as a batsman are key.
If you hit the ball in front of square leg, where the second umpire stands, it’s your decision to run, the other batsman need to go with your call.
If the ball goes behind you, the other batsman calls for a run or not.
Both need to work together on every run, every decision to run, governed by the ball going in front or behind you on strike
Yep so just on the "safe" area... the bat must be touching *past* the line. On the line is still out. They've still got an inch or so to go to be safe. Another thing is you must be touching the ground. If the bat bounces up in the air or is not slid along the ground, you're not safe yet!
Actually, these days, if the bat is grounded inside the crease, then bounces up, he's safe.
@@alansizer2006True if you did achieve grounding you are fine. I was more thinking if you tried to slide your bat and the bat bounces up on you from the footmarks before safe you could be in trouble.
@cricketexplained8526changed in the last year or so, I think
@cricketexplained8526 Yes they changed the law a few years ago. Bouncing up after being safe is now considered safe.
You can run either player out but the fielders have to make a split second decision on which side they want to aim at depending on which batter is hesitating, is the slower runner, does not have the momentum or started running later, which side is the fielder closest to or which side he feels he has cover so that if he misses the stumps there is a covering fielder who would catch the ball and prevent giving away extra runs..
There are a couple of reasons a fielder (in this case the bowler) would want to throw the ball at the opposite wicket:- 1, The out may be more sure since the batsman is further away from completing the run or 2. The fielding side may want to get the more "dangerous batsman" out. So a batsman with a higher average number of runs would be more dangerous to the fielding side, his wicket would be the more prized wicket to get.
Ricky Pointing was a legend at this .
11:10 his name is Patrick too😂😂. He is the captain of Australia, Patrick Cummins.
It doesn't matter which stumps you go for. It's really up to the guy throwing as to which is quicker or easier.
Correct assessment. Its about which opportunity to take. He could throw at either end, but thought would be able to catch the other person outside the crease👍
7:22 The fielders can hit either stumps to take any batsmen out, but the one running opposite the bowler must have been a good batsman and taking him out would have been important. Its like if bowler is X, and there are two batsmen A (is a hitter) and B (actually a bowler or may be an all rounder) on the pitch, then it makes much more sense to take out A who is scoring run after run.
I also remember Mark waugh running a west Indian player out from the boundary side on absolutely crazy
Cricket wickets are about the thickness of a standard wooden broom handle if that helps you visualise what they're aiming at.
No. The fielder can choose which end they want to throw at. Sometimes, it's obvious that one runner has further to go and that end (wicket) is the better target. Sometimes, if both runners could potentially be thrown 'out' the fielder will go for the better batsman (for example, if a top-of-the-order batsman is partnering with a lower-order batsman). It happens so fast - the decision is pretty much on instinct.
Favourite run out Roger Harper running out Graham Gooch 1987
Available on RUclips, absolutely amazing
One of the best ever fielders 😊😊😊😊😊
Yes I was assuming that would be in there but these types of video of 'the greatest...whatever' are always from the last few years. I remember watching Harper's run out of Gooch live. Gooch looked bewildered. He thought he had just hit a 4!
Harper was amazing in the field. Derek Randall was another top fielder from back in the day and obviously there's Jonty Rhodes, as has been mentioned by several others already. Harper on Gooch is still my favourite run-out though.
At 8:20 that's Ravi Jadeja...Best Fielder in Cricket..He has a rocket arm and this video only shows run outs in which Team Aus was in the match...You can probably found some other videos which will give u much better run outs than shown in the video..And Yes, Outfield runouts r rare because of 2 reasons first its really hard to aim from that far and second Mostly fielder throw balls in the hands of the keeper and Then keeper run outs the Batsman.
you can throw the ball to either side, there is no rule that prevents you from doing so. However, the consideration on choosing which side to throw on could depend on a few things such as: 1) a batsman hesitated and you can get that person out before they get to their crease (line). 2) you want to go after the better or more dangerous of the 2 batsman, typically a well set batsman who has been playing in an innings longer has their eye set better and can be more destructive as the game goes on so it is in the opposing teams interest to get them out as quick as they can. 3) depending on the order of the batsman that came in, higher order batsman are proper batsmen while lower order players are typically more skilled at bowling - so your odds of going through the lower order and getting them out is better than proper higher order designated batsmen and 4) one of the batsmen may just be a slower runner. There may be other reasons. But, you can take your pick and throw to either side
One other thing to note guys... a cricket ball is harder than a baseball but generally isn't hit as fast. Fielders don't have mitts so these guys really have to take the ball pretty cleanly to not get injured especially when the ball is new as it is much harder new. Has a coat of lacquer on it and that will wear off and the leather softens quite a bit over time.
I'd say most cricketers have damaged digits on their fingers from where a ball was not taken cleanly.
I played village cricket for a time and once went to catch a ball on the boundary. It went through the gap between my ring and pinky fingers and the webbing between split like a torn rubber glove, ouch and then stitches.
I cant wait for the cricket season to start
Sitting here watching Australia v South Africa in the World Cup, the Aussies could do with a couple of these run outs right now.
The decision on who to run out could be because the runner could have taken off earlier (like stealing a base in baseball) and so there is more time to get the batter out. Also, it could be to get a batmans who is performing well out instead of the other batter. Or just personal...
You will see more runouts from the outfield, but they tend not to be direct hits like the ones in this video. Batters misjudge second or third runs a fair bit, but what'll happen more often in those cases is that the ball will be thrown to the wicket keeper or bowler and they'll break the stumps.That's a bit less dramatic so it's less highlight-reely - it generally feels more like an error on the batters' parts than a brilliant play by a single fielder.
When one batter runs, and the other doesn’t, it’s absolutely recognized as an error, whether he has to turn back halfway or if the other gets out because he starts late, but I don’t know if there is a specific term for it.
There ought to be at least, there are terms for so many things.
And as a few others have said, the choice of which wicket to go for depends on several factors. The one about 7:50 in, where the fielder picked it up, span and released first time for the furthest wicket, seems likely that he was specifically trying to get that batter out as it was a much harder throw, so the batter was probably an actual batsman, rather than a bowler, so it’s worth the risk
If you are throwing from near to side on to the wicket you have a target that is less than 1.5 inches wide. If there is time you do have the option to throw to the wicket-keeper, bowler or another fielder up by the stumps, for them to complete the run out.
When deciding which end to throw the ball at the wicket, one of the decisions could be to try and get the better batsman out or the batsman with the most runs. There are specialist batsmen and specialist bowlers but few who are good at both. Therefore, if you have a chance of running a top batsman out you want to be aware of who is at the wicket so it’s easy to make that decision if the opportunity arises.
The going to the other end is purely the fast thinking of assessing which end is most vulnerable to being out.
Ahh ok yeah that makes sense! Wasn’t sure if you could only target one spot depending on hit or what
@@RealFansSports These players practice throwing at a stump from a distance all day long. It is years of practice that produces the accuracy. But it is incredibly important to be accurate. Not only do you get a player out, if you miss and the ball keeps going, the batsmen can easily score more runs. So accuracy is essential.
This athleticism is why cricket has been popular for hundreds of years, and is played in so many countries. It was always funny to me that for most of my life Americans tended to say that cricket is boring. Only someone who has never watched much cricket could say that. The cricket audience and player base is 2.5 billion people, making it the second most popular sport in the world after soccer. It is popular because the skills of these players is simply amazing, and can be enthralling to watch. Then throw in the nationalism aspect from so much cricket being international competition, and it excites and thrills entire nations. Most sports are based on national competitions. Even soccer doesn't have the international character of cricket, where international games are the norm.
@@artistjoh well there’s also a lot of Americans that find baseball boring to lol. I think the reason for people not giving it a try is because of their dedication to something else and trying to downplay another sport.
And yeah that style of practice is used in baseball too. You have to be extremely fast and accurate to throw people out just like in cricket. It’s amazing those that have mastered both of those fast and accurate
@@RealFansSports Did you discover the spin bowling wizardry of Shane Warne yet? I love the variety in the types of bowling in cricket, but the most difficult thing for the batsman is that due to spin and using the seam on the ball the batsperson has only the fraction of a second after the ball bounces to decide how to play the ball or even to work out where in heck it is. The unpredictability from a good bowler means that the batsperson so often has no idea what the ball is doing. There is also courage involved as it is legal to hit the batsman with the ball. The cricket ball is heavy and very hard, so I can confirm that it hurts like heck to get hit by that thing. There have been many deaths over the years from being struck by the ball, usually in the head or neck. Most recently was an Australian player who died in 2015 from being struck by the ball.
OTOH, when a batsperson is in the groove, their ability to make lemonade from the lemon of that ball's behavior can be sheer magic.
I once had the privilege of seeing Dean Jones knock a century before lunch, from the ladies pavilion at the Sydney Cricket Ground. It was a masterclass in finding the holes in the fielding, and making the bowlers look like amateurs. He mixed it up so much the other team were flummoxed in how to set the field to somehow reign him in. I remember standing to applaud him as he came in for lunch. I had one of my sons with me. He loves cricket, and it was a deeply meaningful father/son thing to share that moment together.
Lots of amazing runouts these days because players are taught to aim the base of wickets - a larger area is easier to aim.
As far as which end you target, it normally coincides with whichever end the slower guy's running towards.
You can be run out at either end... the person closest to the end that broken (the ball hitting the wickets - not sticks!) is out... so both batsmen are in jeopardy when running.
''Charged with an error'' is called getting ''Out''
7:31 the batsman already reached there behind the line...so the bowler turned around to the other guy side...all done within milli sec
In cricket there is no specific term for in the batters hesitate when running.. the commentators call is indecision, stutter, hesitation or misunderstanding depending on what happened but there is no specific term that is used as part of the sport
In ODI and T20 cricket there are set of rules for number of fielders within the 30 yard circle and outside and those rules depends on the powerplay during the game. PS: You can do a research on the Powerplay rules in ODI and T20. There are no powerplays in test cricket.
The fielder chooses which batsman he wants to run out. Generally he will try for the better batsman who is scoring freely. But in the case here, the batsman nearest him was definitely going to make the line before the fielder could hit the stumps. So the fielder span around and went for the other end of the pitch where the batsman had a few more steps to go.
7:21 he went to the other side because even though he was closer to the striker side, the runner would have made it.
Run outs are like fielder's choice, you can throw to either end
You can throw at either end, often other team mates will call bowler or keeper to let you know which end is a higher chance of a run out.
You question at 7.25....either batsman at either end out of their crease (where the batsman stands when facing the bowler).....
oh you guys will go bonkers if you see videos of silly point fielding position in cricket. that is literally bat sh*t crazy position to field at. but players still do it.
That's the 30 yard circle. For fielding restrictions
2024 t20 world cup is going to be hosted in USA and west indies.even recently india played 2 t20 matches in usa against west indies
the small circle is like the infield, and outside the small circle is the outfield.
The crease or line the bat must cross belongs to the fielding team. Meaning if the bat is on or short of that line the player is run out.
Hi guys, you have picked on the mess that indecisiveness plays. Along with the pleasure of watching the athleticism.
If your curious look up Viv Richards three runouts in the 1975 CWC.
Your observation about similarities between baseball and cricket roles.
Turn and throw to the other end is because the non striker aways backs up giving him half the wicket head start .
The batsman/runner DOES NOT have to cross the crease (or line as you mentioned) the tip of the bat has to cross it. That's why the runner is reaching out with his bat.
Whichever batsman is a threat to the team they try to remove him. No matter which end because once a batsman gets comfortable with bowlers spinners or fast bowlers and he makes good runs, they try getting him out so that the new batsman coming takes a few balls before trying big shots..
You can try to run any of the two batsman out. It doesn't have to be the one that was on strike. So you throw to the end where you think you have the best chance of running the batter out.
The significance of throwing the ball to the other wicket is to get the strong batter out.
Since both of the batters are out for a run, u know who poses the threat if given a chance. PICK THAT GUY UP
The bat needs to pass the crease which marks where they are "in". The bat must be on the ground though, so diving with the bat in the air would not count.
Also, the bails (little pieces of wood on top of the stumps) must lose contact for it to be out.
on a big ground like lords or the mcg, the best runouts are from the bounday, side on to the stumps, and on the full!
I would like to suggest that when you guys are reacting to cricket videos, have a third person who knows cricket so that your questions are instantly solved, that gives a better learning
That is actually a plan of ours. We just have to set it up. I think it would help us a lot and bring some interest content for y’all watching! Thanks for the suggestion
The sticks are called wickets or stumps. The top is fitted with bails. Your aim is to dislodge the bails from the wickets
