Yes, if the ball missed the stumps, and goes the other way, it's a overthrow, and counted as runs, if the ball goes to the boundary or if the batsman runs.
Exactly.... so if the batmen run 3 and the overthrow goes to the boundary, it is 3 + 4 runs = 7 runs to the batsman who hit it. But if they run 4 then run another 4 on overthrows then another 4 on a 2nd overthrow, that would be 12 runs to the batsman, and probably a record. lol
Funnily enough, if the ball crosses the boundary even after hitting the runner if it was unintentional - it still counts as a +4! A world cup final has had this decisive moment btw!
Cricketers are taught from a very young age to “back up” run-out attempts - a fielder will always position themselves to intercept an errant throw in order to stop overthrows. Overthrows can happen when a throw misses and goes to the boundary (+4 extra runs), or when the fielders have to chase the ball again and the batters are able to take another run or two themselves, kinda like stealing base.
When you were talking about the width of the wicket being 2 to 3 feet, you were a little off. The wicket size is 9 inches wide and 28 inches tall. That is looking front on. From the side, this reduces to 1.5 inches wide. A very small target. The stumps are 1.5 inches in diameter and are spaced so that the 2.8 inch wide ball cannot pass between them.
I was Way off lol! if you couldnt tell as soon as i said it I was like yeah i dont think thats right but too late to go back now lol. Thanks for the clarification!
The play continues as long as the ball is in play, which means there can be multiple overthrows until the ball is deemed out of play and runs can be scored till then. So, yes, when the fielder throws a ball towards wicket, it is in play, and if it crosses the boundary as a result of overthrow, that is still considered part of play, and 4 runs are awarded.
@RealFansSports One thing I missed there. Batter gets credited for runs that are direct result of batter hitting the ball with his bat. So all other runs (wide, no ball, bye, leg bye, AND overthrow) that are scored will be counted as extras while adding to Team score. So, the number of extras is a kind of measurement of sloppiness of the fielding team. 🙂
Absolutely. Plus what made Ponting so good - especially when around extra cover - was he preempted where the ball would go by watching the batsman, giving him that extra split-second advantage over the batsmen.
Yeah we were surprised about that when we first heard but once we had watched more their was definitely some things that stood out! They do say some of the best athletes are those that take aspects of different sports to perfect their game.
@@RealFansSports A cricket wicket, (set of stumps is actually much smaller than you think it is, 28 inches high, so 2 ft 4, and just 9 inches wide, so its a very small target, especially when you are off on a side angle. some of these throws are incredibly accurate
Once a fielder has taken control of the ball and throws it at the stumps, misses and the ball makes it to the boundary, it is 4 overthrows plus what runs the batsmen had already completed. It evens things up a bit when the fielder has to make the decision whether to make the throw when there is no one in the field in the direction of the throw on the other side of the stumps.
usually fielders don't look for run outs outside the circle because of potential risk of injury or overthrows which can be costly so the smart thing is to throw it at the keepers end
It is known as overthrow there are many videos on that, and it has happened a lot under pressure situation. Usually, a fielder is backing up to cover the throw, but it can happen your throw misses the wickets and wicket keeper it can easily run towards the boundary and 4 boundary runs are awarded along with run ran by the batter.
The overall width of each wicket is 9 inches (22.9 cm). Each stump is 28 inches (71.1 cm) tall with maximum and minimum diameters of 11⁄2 inches (3.81 cm) and 13⁄8 inches (3.49 cm).
10:30 yes if a fielder throws the ball and it hits the boundary it is automatically 4 runs regardless of whatever runs the batsmen did. It's in the Laws of Cricket regarding Boundaries where it states: "Four runs are scored as overthrows if a fielder gathers the ball and then throws it so that no other fielder can gather it before it reaches the boundary."
The rarest single ball regular score is 5 runs. While it has happened on very rare occasions and at a big ground like the MCG that the batsmen just run 5 it is usually as the result of a missed throw for the run out and it going over the boundary, so one run and a boundary 4, you can also get 2 runs and 3 over throws. Always a thrill when it happens.
9:00 - what you're talking about are called "overthrows" - runs scored from a missed throw heading back to the stumps. And yes, if it's thrown wildly and rolls over the boundary it counts as four for the boundary and one for every run that had been completed by the batters - so five, six, or even seven runs can happen that way.
Anyone who can hit direct hits are invaluable to the fielding team its like having another strike bowler. Because 99 percent of the time a fielders direct hit means the runner is out. A good exponent of this was Australian Captain Allan Border in the 1980s and early 1990s. He would be fielding inside the 15 metre circle and if he got the ball and batsman run he would almost always throw the stumps down another great exponent was Jonty Rhodes of South Africa in the early to mid 1990s. Like Baseballers you got to have good arms and accuracy to effect direct hits. Allan Border probably got it from being a Baseballer in Australia before he became a cricketer full time.
Considering a lot of these are from side on and only looking at 1 stump that a inch ,these guys could throw the baseball down the short stops throat ,they are very accurate
They are extremely accurate! There are similar situation in baseball where that level of accuracy is definitely needed in order to get a result. Especially when it comes to a situation when a runner is going from one base to another and has to be tagged out. most of the time the ball has to be thrown in an exact spot in order to get the player out or they will be safe. Biggest difference is the pressure because in baseball if they miss their mark the person catching the ball can move his arm and grab it. The stumps are not going anywhere so its either you hit it or possibly risk an overthrow
There is a weird story of a 276 of 1 ball, that involves a gun and someone shot the ball. but more plausible is a 100 run when the ball got lost in long grass and the fielders took 30 minutes to find it. I think if a fielder touches the ball over that rope that would be a six instead of a four.
If the teams are in colourful shirts and trousers, they are chasing every run due to limited overs or pitches (T20, 120 balls or ODI, 300 balls). If the teams are in white shirt and trousers, they are trying to score runs, obviously, but have unlimited overs/pitches (test cricket) an endurance and tactical game. they are really trying to stay in bat as long as possible, to prevent the other team scoring. Which means the batting team has 2 men at bat and 9 men relaxing. The fielding team is getting tired and stressed, standing in the sun and heat, from 10am until the evening bad light stops play (with a couple of breaks). Fielding twice and batting twice during the test, over 5 days.
While it's true that striking batsman gives a call for a run but it's almost a reflex action of his/her , so they take a few steps after hitting the ball every time and that is why non-striker needs to be aware too
Bear in mind that the fielder has to make a choice of which end to throw to. Barring a really wild throw, the wicket keeper's end is safer (specially if the keeper is standing up to the wicket) in terms of possible over throws, but the non-striking batter has had chance to start his run a tiny bit earlier than the striker because the striker has to play the shot and then start running. However, it is up to the outfielders to move behind the stumps to hopefully prevent overthrows should the need arise. And yes, as others have said, an overthrow that crosses the boundary is 4 on top of any runs already completed. As you guys are finding out, cricket is a game of great depth. The more you learn about it, the more you enjoy it.
You have to be very careful in doing run outs, In the 2019 World Cup Final New Zealand attempted a run out in the final over when Ben Stokes of England whilst attempting to make his ground deflected the ball accidently and the ball ran to the boundary, the batsman were running 2 which they got added to the 4 for the boundary they actually scored 6. The game was tied and England went on to win the World Cup .
Usually there is a player, and because of overthrow (not catching the ball) in case of the ball doesn't hit the wickets, the batsmen have taken 1-2 additional runs, and there have been cases of ball going to the boundary line and then the batting team gets 4 runs in addition to the runs taken prior to the overthrow. Normally, if there is no player, it is better to let them score 1 run than risk giving them additional 4. india gains crucial 5 runs through overthrow by pak,t20,24/10/2021 This is one small video of that incident. But it has happened other times too.
There are compilations of overthrow runs as well. Check them out. It does happen and can award batting team bonus runs. There are rare instances where 2 overthrows happened in single play. 😀
Batsmen can also get overthrows if the ball hits their body and runs away. However, the convention is to not run in such situations, but if the ball reaches the boundary it will count as 4 overthrows. Such a situation occurred in the 2019 World Cup final between England and New Zealand. Ben Stokes hit the ball in the outfield and set off to take 2 runs. The throw from the outfield came in and hit his bat, IIRC, the ball deflecting down to the boundary. England was awarded 6 runs (2 run by the batters and 4 overthrows), which helped them tie the match and go into the super-over, which was also a tie. So England won the World Cup because they had the most boundaries in the match. After the match it was realised that, technically, Stokes should have only been awarded 5 runs, which would have given New Zealand the World Cup.
The wicket/stumps is 9” wide and 28” tall. Each stump is 1.5” diameter. So, the teams train with a single stump and throwing from all directions, as well as running, flying sideways or from on the ground. That could make an interesting video - where you try hitting the stumps.

The best in my opinion are when the bowler catches the batsman out then spins around and direct hits the other batsman out who has snuck out of his crease.

What are you referring to? We know they are older, but there has been things from baseball training that has been implemented into cricket. And i am sure it is vice versa as well. no matter how young or old the sport is you can always gain knowledge through a different sport outside of your own to take aspects from it and add to your game. We have seen that all throughout sports history
@@RealFansSports Baseball fielding coaches have definitely been used in cricket. Specifically, Mike Young was a minor league player and coach who transitioned into Cricket fielding coaching around 2000, and has worked in both Australia and India. Also, fun trivia fact - at least 4, possibly 5, of the starting 9 for the first ever professional base ball team, The Cincinnati Reds, were professional American cricket players prior to being ‘hired’
@@RealFansSports you need to look up the history of Baseball, not from an American prospective, Yes I agree that you can take skills from one sport to another, but we are talking about basics of the game, think about the terminology in baseball? runs? bat? ball? mitt? just Americans couldn't play cricket after the Independance war, so just changed the rule of cricket a bit, to make a game they could play with the cricket bats and balls they already had.
@@runnynose8341 Sorry, but that is simply wrong. 1) Cricket and Baseball almost certainly evolved from as 2 completely seperate sports from the beginning. That they share a few similar terms is meaningless, especially ‘ball’ - a term used in hundreds of sports. 2) Crickets decline and Baseballs ascent began after the American Civil War, not the revolutionary war. The primary factor was the ease in which a ‘pickup’ game of baseball could be played, compared to that cricket, and therefore the much more egalitarian and working class nature of baseball than cricket. Think of it like the way golf, sailing or polo is perceived - rich, expensive sports played by the upper class. Cricket was very much in that category at the time, and by the 1930’s….cricket simply died out as a popular pastime/sport in the USA, when 50 years earlier, it could have been argued that the USA was 3rd strongest cricket nation in the world.
If a fielder overthrown the wicket and it reaches the boundary, the batting team is awarded 4 runs, but this is not counted towards the batters' tally. Only the runs the batter runs between the wicket is counted toward their individual score
Any run out package without Jadeja is incomplete. He'd have two or three in anyone's top 20. Pat Cummins in the test running out Jadeja btw in the last over of the day, after fielding for 6 hours and bowling twenty overs while horizontal from side on is up there as well.
If the ball hits or goes past the stumps and goes to the boundary it is 4 runs PLUS anything that has already been completed, so can be 5 or 6 runs. Also the stumps are about 9 inches wide from the middle of leg stump to off, not 3 feet.... Can't be a best 20 run outs without Jonty Rhodes (South Africa) or Ricky Ponting (Australia)... they have close to the best 20 between them.....
These were good but I personally don't agree that they're the best direct hits in cricket, I'll try leaving a recommendation on your link after researching better videos
Thank you! That would be a big help. Only 2 or 3 of them were exceptional. The rest seemed pretty average, but sometimes the situation could make a play better and we do not know what the pressure was surrounding the plays
what lol? We are just starting to learn. This past year we have really started diving into the sport. Still have a lot to figure out but for the most part we have the basics down. On our channel atleast we like learning sports that are new to us and learning cricket has been a fun challenge so far
@@wallywombat164 Jog on mate. The more the merrier, and I love our cousins from North America watching, and enjoying, one of the best sports in the world
@@wallywombat164 So you are suggesting to come and shut my mouth lol. Ok big tough guy. Outside of you being butt hurt you do know that the only way to learn new things is to discuss it and have conversations. We also never claimed to know everything, but we do know somethings. When we do not know we ask. When we do know we say.
Nice list, thanks, none of these can be complete, but what was missing for me was some of the great dive and throw run outs from the covers, Ponting, Rhodes, AB de Villiers and Smith in particular ruclips.net/video/mH8KrkRYIQA/видео.html Ponting doesn't include himself but he should have
You guys are way off about the size of the wickets. The three stumps are 9 inches wide and 28 inches high when placed on the track! One stump has an approximate diameter of 1 inch. Direct hits are incredible, but really as a consequence of the shorter form of cricket where running between the wickets is so important to keep the scoreboard ticking over.
20 Best Direct Hits.. right. Hilarious how these creators clickbait their work. No wonder it caught your attention guys. BTW, the stumps are less than a foot wide - not over 2 feet like you thought. And yeah, fielders have thrown wide, the ball's got past everybody and gone to the boundary for 4. That 4 is added onto whatever runs the batsman scored off that shot.
Yeah we got baited by the title too. That is the title of the original video that we are reacting too that someone sent. Definitely is not the best 20 that we have even seen
There must be better videos than this from the world of cricket.....not one of the best 5 fielders ever feature in this. Where is Viv Richards... .a legend at impossible run outs. Where is Jonty Rhodes and Herschelle Gibbs from Sth Africa ? Where is Ricky Ponting and Andrew Symonds from Australia or Derrick Randal from England.....all 5 so good, players learnt NOT TO RUN if the ball went anywhere near them. And Marnus Lab' who is still playing.....every test player now knows not to run if he is close. Viv Richards made his name sprinting at the ball he was NOT expected to stop, picking up cleanly at full stride , and throwing the ball without looking and in the same action as the pick up, across his body at just one stump.......and hardly ever missed. Try it..........place a ball square to the stumps about 25 to 30 yards away.....so from the ball you can only see one stump. Now sprint at the ball paralel to the pitch.....so at the ball your shoulders point to the stumps , but your running line is 90* to the line to the stumps......try and throw at the stumps .....it can kill your back and shoulder socket as your weight and power is moving at right angles to the target. Now run to the ball, throw as you pick up, and with power, and mid stride, no foot on the ground, and with power . That is with a stationary ball.....Viv Richards did it time and time again with many balls expected to be 4 runs ( moving at speed ). Whenever i have tried to throw like that, it feels like Mike Tyson has just slammed a heavy sledge hammer into my back... ..it HURTS , especially mid stride at a sprint.
When they miss and the ball goes to the boundary it is scored as 5. Runs go to the batsman and against the bowler. If they are coming back for a 3rd run and the ball misses and goes to the boundary then it is scored as a 7. Fielding team should have someone "backing up the throw". This is cricket basics.
![Seungmin "그렇게, 천천히, 우리(As we are)" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/kAzmhLHePqU/mqdefault.jpg)
Yes, if the ball missed the stumps, and goes the other way, it's a overthrow, and counted as runs, if the ball goes to the boundary or if the batsman runs.
Exactly.... so if the batmen run 3 and the overthrow goes to the boundary, it is 3 + 4 runs = 7 runs to the batsman who hit it.
But if they run 4 then run another 4 on overthrows then another 4 on a 2nd overthrow, that would be 12 runs to the batsman, and probably a record. lol
Funnily enough, if the ball crosses the boundary even after hitting the runner if it was unintentional - it still counts as a +4! A world cup final has had this decisive moment btw!

Yep, your spot on with the overthrow it,s one of the things the bowler gets pissed about because the runs made are tagged onto their stats.
Thank God for those red circles and arrows, or I would have no idea where to look!
If you complete first run and going for second then overthrow gone for boundary then it counts 5run on batters account.
Cricket & baseball are very similar when it comes to fielding. In Australia, we use a lot of US baseball coaches to help with fielding.

only problem is cricket is 200 years older than baseball, so maybe it's the other way round.
What are you referring to? We know they are older, but there has been things from baseball training that has been implemented into cricket. And i am sure it is vice versa as well.
no matter how young or old the sport is you can always gain knowledge through a different sport outside of your own to take aspects from it and add to your game. We have seen that all throughout sports history
@@RealFansSports
Baseball fielding coaches have definitely been used in cricket. Specifically, Mike Young was a minor league player and coach who transitioned into Cricket fielding coaching around 2000, and has worked in both Australia and India.
Also, fun trivia fact - at least 4, possibly 5, of the starting 9 for the first ever professional base ball team, The Cincinnati Reds, were professional American cricket players prior to being ‘hired’
@@RealFansSports you need to look up the history of Baseball, not from an American prospective, Yes I agree that you can take skills from one sport to another, but we are talking about basics of the game, think about the terminology in baseball? runs? bat? ball? mitt? just Americans couldn't play cricket after the Independance war, so just changed the rule of cricket a bit, to make a game they could play with the cricket bats and balls they already had.
@@RealFansSports ohh and can you name one thing from baseball implemented into cricket?
@@runnynose8341
Sorry, but that is simply wrong.
1) Cricket and Baseball almost certainly evolved from as 2 completely seperate sports from the beginning. That they share a few similar terms is meaningless, especially ‘ball’ - a term used in hundreds of sports.
2) Crickets decline and Baseballs ascent began after the American Civil War, not the revolutionary war. The primary factor was the ease in which a ‘pickup’ game of baseball could be played, compared to that cricket, and therefore the much more egalitarian and working class nature of baseball than cricket. Think of it like the way golf, sailing or polo is perceived - rich, expensive sports played by the upper class. Cricket was very much in that category at the time, and by the 1930’s….cricket simply died out as a popular pastime/sport in the USA, when 50 years earlier, it could have been argued that the USA was 3rd strongest cricket nation in the world.
Need to watch some of Andrew symonds fielding
Look up a Ponting run outs compilation, he has the most run outs in history. Greatest fielder after Jonty Rhodes.
The width of the stumps is 9inches, not 3 feet ! 😅
If a fielder overthrown the wicket and it reaches the boundary, the batting team is awarded 4 runs, but this is not counted towards the batters' tally. Only the runs the batter runs between the wicket is counted toward their individual score
No it is counted towards the batter's score!
@AmitSingh-qn9ix Is it? OK I always thought it was counted as extras, my bad
Any run out package without Jadeja is incomplete. He'd have two or three in anyone's top 20.
Pat Cummins in the test running out Jadeja btw in the last over of the day, after fielding for 6 hours and bowling twenty overs while horizontal from side on is up there as well.
Jadeja ran Steve Smith out in this very compilation, how did you miss that?
that wasnt jadeja if i remember correctly..that was pujara after scoring a hundred that day
@pavank569 we are not talking about the person getting run out....
you guys should check out JONTY RHODES's fielding / runouts. He is considered as the SUPERMAN of CRICKET.
Ponting was better at run outs
I see your Rhodes, and raise you Ponting. RT Ponting (Tasmania) hit the stumps far more often than Jonty ever did.
@@WTBob2005 yep and it's not even close. I've never understood why people say rhodes, ponting was the best of all time at hitting the stumps
He wasn't as good as Ponting.
Overthrows to the boundary are 4 *extra* runs.
Ricky Ponting.
Your mission, Jim, should you choose to accept it...
If the ball hits or goes past the stumps and goes to the boundary it is 4 runs PLUS anything that has already been completed, so can be 5 or 6 runs. Also the stumps are about 9 inches wide from the middle of leg stump to off, not 3 feet.... Can't be a best 20 run outs without Jonty Rhodes (South Africa) or Ricky Ponting (Australia)... they have close to the best 20 between them.....
The width of the 3 stumps is 9 inches, not 3 feet.
you should look up the most runs in a single ball
Yes it would be 4 runs if keeper or other fielders unable to catch the throw and ball somehow touch or cross the boundary.
These were good but I personally don't agree that they're the best direct hits in cricket, I'll try leaving a recommendation on your link after researching better videos
Thank you! That would be a big help. Only 2 or 3 of them were exceptional. The rest seemed pretty average, but sometimes the situation could make a play better and we do not know what the pressure was surrounding the plays
Top 20 run-outs🤔
Stumps are wider less than one feet.
Guys the music was too loud so every time you pressed play I had to turn down so I could not what you said during that time.
This is like top 20 average run outs.. 😅
I should have known. Americans are experts at cricket. I should have known that they know everything.
what lol? We are just starting to learn. This past year we have really started diving into the sport. Still have a lot to figure out but for the most part we have the basics down.
On our channel atleast we like learning sports that are new to us and learning cricket has been a fun challenge so far
I was ALWAYS told, if you don't know, keep your big mouth shut or someone will shut it for ya.
@@wallywombat164
Jog on mate. The more the merrier, and I love our cousins from North America watching, and enjoying, one of the best sports in the world
@@wallywombat164 So you are suggesting to come and shut my mouth lol. Ok big tough guy.
Outside of you being butt hurt you do know that the only way to learn new things is to discuss it and have conversations. We also never claimed to know everything, but we do know somethings. When we do not know we ask. When we do know we say.
@@WTBob2005 Appreciate that lol. So crazy how upset some people get for no reason
Width of the three stumps is only nine inches, nowhere near two or three feet!
Nice list, thanks, none of these can be complete, but what was missing for me was some of the great dive and throw run outs from the covers, Ponting, Rhodes, AB de Villiers and Smith in particular ruclips.net/video/mH8KrkRYIQA/видео.html Ponting doesn't include himself but he should have
You guys are way off about the size of the wickets. The three stumps are 9 inches wide and 28 inches high when placed on the track! One stump has an approximate diameter of 1 inch. Direct hits are incredible, but really as a consequence of the shorter form of cricket where running between the wickets is so important to keep the scoreboard ticking over.
Ricky Ponting has some amazing run outs - ruclips.net/video/C6JZuJEqoww/видео.html not every single one is a direct hit, but a large majority are.
Yes - its called overthrows - would be 4 runs
These are no where near the top 20
Guys pls do react to Rohit Sharma pull shot 6’s
20 Best Direct Hits.. right. Hilarious how these creators clickbait their work. No wonder it caught your attention guys. BTW, the stumps are less than a foot wide - not over 2 feet like you thought. And yeah, fielders have thrown wide, the ball's got past everybody and gone to the boundary for 4. That 4 is added onto whatever runs the batsman scored off that shot.
Yeah we got baited by the title too. That is the title of the original video that we are reacting too that someone sent. Definitely is not the best 20 that we have even seen
EVER?
lmao that is what the original video title said but yeah it was not the best lol
Worst run out compilation
There are way better direct hit compilation 😊
Yeah we agree! This one had about 2 or 3 that were impressive
There are way more better dirrect hits than this collection.. one example check out T M Dilshan's fieldings.. and there are more..
There must be better videos than this from the world of cricket.....not one of the best 5 fielders ever feature in this.
Where is Viv Richards... .a legend at impossible run outs.
Where is Jonty Rhodes and Herschelle Gibbs from Sth Africa ?
Where is Ricky Ponting and Andrew Symonds from Australia or Derrick Randal from England.....all 5 so good, players learnt NOT TO RUN if the ball went anywhere near them.
And Marnus Lab' who is still playing.....every test player now knows not to run if he is close.
Viv Richards made his name sprinting at the ball he was NOT expected to stop, picking up cleanly at full stride , and throwing the ball without looking and in the same action as the pick up, across his body at just one stump.......and hardly ever missed.
Try it..........place a ball square to the stumps about 25 to 30 yards away.....so from the ball you can only see one stump.
Now sprint at the ball paralel to the pitch.....so at the ball your shoulders point to the stumps , but your running line is 90* to the line to the stumps......try and throw at the stumps .....it can kill your back and shoulder socket as your weight and power is moving at right angles to the target.
Now run to the ball, throw as you pick up, and with power, and mid stride, no foot on the ground, and with power .
That is with a stationary ball.....Viv Richards did it time and time again with many balls expected to be 4 runs ( moving at speed ).
Whenever i have tried to throw like that, it feels like Mike Tyson has just slammed a heavy sledge hammer into my back... ..it HURTS , especially mid stride at a sprint.
A very bad list of 20 direct hits
When they miss and the ball goes to the boundary it is scored as 5. Runs go to the batsman and against the bowler. If they are coming back for a 3rd run and the ball misses and goes to the boundary then it is scored as a 7. Fielding team should have someone "backing up the throw". This is cricket basics.
A wasted throw, be it a hit or miss, that goes to the boundary, is an overthrow that gives 4 extra runs.
