    I am a Canadian who has lived in the States, the U.K, and now reside in Australia. My first exposure to cricket was in England watching county matches and being thoroughly confused. When I came to Australia I was taken to a summer time Ashes test match by Australian friends. It was then I discovered that cricket is war. These matches can run for up to 5 full days, in blistering Aussie sun. Baseball, as I'm sure you will agree, is a game of strength, skill and tactics. Cricket is all of those, plus strategy. Remember, it can run for 5 full days. And a series such as the Ashes, will be decided over 5 separate matches. So this is up to 25 days play to decide the winner. Oh, and also, the Ashes is only between Australia and England,, mortal enemies on the cricket pitch. My favorite is to go to a cricket match on sunny summer day, at the Adelaide Oval in South Australia, and spend the day watching the play sitting on the grassy hill, under the huge fig trees, cold beer in hand. And it's affordable, unlike professional sports in North America.

    One thing that isn't mentioned is that in cricket the team's captain is much more important than the coach. The captain decides who bats and bowls at any given point. The captain also decides where each player needs to be fielding so if a team has a great captain then they have a much better shot at winning because the captain will strategically help the team save runs.

    @SR-hj6sh 2 месяца назад +7

    Let me try to answer some of your questions and hopefully shed some light-
    3:39 - the pitch size may appear relatively small. The field size varies depending on the country/city etc. The teams consist of 11 players each.
    3:55 - the sprint is only one of the ways in which the batting team can score runs. The sprint may seem small, but remember there are 11 fielders who will try to stop you
    5:33 - there are 3 umpires, and one of them stands behind the bowling side wicket
    7:33 - the no balls are there to give the game a structure. E.g. the bowler cannot have his feet in front of the line when bowling, akin to feet placement in the other bowling sport. If the bowler over steps, that ball doesn't count and I'd considered a no ball
    8:10 - the highest individual score by a batsman in t20 was by Chris Gayle (west indies) who scored 175 (not out, I.e. the bowling team were not able to get him out before the match got over) in just 66 balls
    8:35 - if you know the ball is going to cross the boundary, then there is no need to run between the wicket
    10:15 - the fielder is trying to knock the bails off the wicket before the batsman can complete his run I.e. cross the crease with his bat/body
    11:47 - you get called out only if your body/leg is directly stopping the ball from hitting the wicket. If the ball's trajectory is off course and happens to hit your body, nothing happens
    14:16 - a test match is typically played over 5 days
    16:00 - a bowler bowls 1 over (6 deliveries), then takes rest while someone else takes over and bowls an over (sorry for the pun). A team will generally have 4-5 bowlers whom they keep rotating over the course of the inning
    16:25 - a t20 match lasts between 2.5 to 3 hours
    19:46 - in limited over cricket, the overs are limited, so it is highly encouraged to take as many runs as possible in that time frame. If you have confidence in scoring runs by hitting boundaries, then you don't have to try running between the wickets
    I suggest you watch the highlight of any IPL match. This will show you only the interesting part of the match

    Test matches are fun, you usually don't watch every moment for all 5 days, but more like you keep an eye on the scores and tune in whenever you can or whenever things are getting interesting. Because of the length of the game, the tactics and strategy are simply at a different level than any other sport. The game can swing from one team to the other wildly over 5 days. The best test matches when compared to the shorter formats are basically like a feature film vs a youtube video. The longer duration allows much more drama.

    In regards to a leg before wicket out, most of the time the batter is not intentionally trying to block the ball with their leg. Once a ball is bolwed it can have a lot of devation during its flight before it reachers the batter (swing bowling or spin bowling) and deceive the batsman as to where the ball will land or the path it will take after it hits the ground. This causes the batter to play a shot that results in them misjudging the ball and thr ball hitting their pads or missing them completely hitting the wicket behind them

    So responding to the title before watching the video:
    It depends. It's a very detailed sport which rewards understanding of it. It has very deep strategic and tactical levels that aren't obvious until you get the basics, and it's not a quick sport. If you want something that is all action, all the time, then no! If you want a sport where sometimes nothing happening is actually a result of very good play by one of the teams, as well as having big moments, then yeah, it probably is!
    Yeah, it's not much like baseball, but it's closer to that than say basketball! Going by your reaction to a run out, there is likely a few good videos of direct hits and fielding highlights you'll get a kick out of! Try /watch?v=uKX5qHGosRs for example for run outs.
    16:00 - That's an interesting detail to pick up on a first watch! Yeah, they do have to manage to workload of the bowlers which is why teams typically have 5 players who are good at bowling, maybe a few others who can contribute a few overs here and there. They do 6 (+ extras) deliveries and then get an over to rest while someone else bowls, but yeah, a team captain will change them out after a few others. It's not just about fatigue, and this is a nuance that maybe gets lost in the limited overs formats, it's also about the condition of the ball and the pitch. As the game goes on, the ball gets worn, helped by the fielding team working one side, and this lets swing bowlers be more effective (close to a baseball curveball). The pitch also starts to develop wear from the feet of the bowler and abtters, and by aiming for this ground, a spin bowl can cause more havoc with the way the ball bounces. There is a constant tactical battle going on between the fielding team captain and the batters who oppose him - what type of bowler to use, should the field be attempting to get a player out, or stop them scoring runs... but this is hard to see when you're not that familiar with the sport. Also, in a 50 overs game, the bowlers are each limited to 10 overs each
    I'd also add at this point that the batting order is roughly in order of quality. Your best batters are in the top 3, often the very best is at number 3 because the new ball is an advantage for fast bowlers at the start. If one of your openers falls, hopefully the ball has degraded a bit and your best batter presents a real challenge for the fielding team.
    As for your disbelief on "Days", the slow evolution of the game over days is fascinating for hardcore fans, but you probably need to have some understanding of how things might develop to enjoy watching day 1 or day 2! I'd maybe suggest watching the 4th day of a test as a starting point after spending some times on the limited overs forms. There is a Cricket for Americans channel who might be good for a collab. Hope you're enjoying the T20 games you've seen so far if you're watching the World Cup

    you don't have to stand in front of the wickets, but that would also make it much easier to bowl you out. If you hit the ball with the bat first it is allowed to then hit your body, so orthodox cricket batting stands partially in front of the wicket usually with your toes roughly in line with the middle stump. This allows you to defend the wicket effectively

    I'm British, played cricket as a teen, and even I'm having trouble following this video! One VERY pernickety point that I quite like, is that the bails actually have to come dislodged for it to be called out; it is POSSIBLE for the ball to "hit" the wicket so slowly that the bails don't fall.
    The last game I batted, I was called out "retired hurt". The ball bounced off the top edge of my bat, into my cheekbone!
    15:45: That's a typo. 50 6-ball overs is 300 deliveries! Also cricket teams usually have AT LEAST 4 different bowlers.

    the batting team will get +1 to the teams score and the batter is still on his 4th ball

    The point of covering the stumps is correctly to not get it knocked over by the ball. However, in the early days, batsman would just stand there, covering the whole stumps and not getting out. This put a lot of questions over the legitimacy of blocking the ball with body. So, a new rule was introduced, LBW. It's the most complicated way of getting out in cricket but if explained simply, if the ball hits your legs, and when checked by umpire, and the ball would have knocked over the stumps if the legs were not in between, it would've been called out. So, basically, the ball is hitting the wickets, but leg came in before it, hence leg-before-wicket or LBW.

  • @Jordywhyte09
    @Jordywhyte09 Месяц назад

    One of the main differences which plays a big part in the game of cricket is the fact that the ball is generally bounced first (that’s usually the intention). This is important because it then means that the surface the ball bounces on plays a massive role in the quality and outcome of the game. The type of ‘pitch’ or ‘wicket’ differs from field to field and day to day, so there is a huge amount of variation from one game to the next. And in a 5 day game, the pitch deteriorates throughout the match so conditions change and this will favor the batting team or bowling team more at any given time. This also means bowlers have different styles which may be suited to a particular type of pitch or stage in the match e.g. fast bowlers prefer when a pitch is fast and bouncy or new and green whereas a slow spin bowler prefers a pitch that is ruffed up, older and allows for spin.
    While there are different field dimensions in Baseball, and some games may be played at altitude or other environmental factors that also influence Cricket games, the actual playing surface is possibly more influential in cricket than in almost any other sport.
    And fun fact : Different countries are known for different pitch styles - there is no set type of pitch that has to be prepared. Some countries like Australia, New Zealand and South Africa commonly produce pitches that are hard and bouncy - which is good for both batting and bowling at different times. While other countries like India, Sri Lanka, West Indies often produce pitches which due to the heat and soil in those places are not always as bouncy but they allow the ball to spin or deviate off the pitch in a different way to other pitches. This again brings different factors into the game and allows different types of bowlers and batters to be successful.

    Standing in front of the wicket comes down to technique, I guess the basics of batting is that you want to step towards where the ball is bouncing and it's the most logical place to stand to do that and drive through the ball to place your shot, if that makes sense.

    11:39 To answer your question.
    The thing with Leg Before Wicket is that the ball must hit the leg before hitting the bat and/or gloves. So, what betters (basically hitters) do is try to hit the ball with their bat first, then it would not matter if the ball later hit their leg. They just cannot block first with their leg else they will be deemed out. Also batters don't have to stand in front of wicket.
    14:24 If you think that the match is played continuously for days, then rest assured that is not the case. A Test match has 5 maximum days, and the play starts at 11AM (usually). The play time consists of 3 sessions of 2 hours each (usually) and 2 breaks (Lunch break of 40 minutes and Afternoon Tea break of 20 minutes, usually). Thus the play stops for the day at roughly 6PM (usually). The match is continued the next day. Each team has 2 innings (thus the max 4 innings we can see).
    15:51 I can understand why you imagine that. If there are only like 2 bowlers bowling for the whole match, then for sure their arms and shoulders will be destroyed. Which is why there are more than 2 bowlers. Each team ideally has like 4 specialist bowlers and 1-2 part time bowlers (usually middle order betters who can bowl decently as well, thus called All Rounders). Also in the limited overs format, the rule is that each bowler can only bowl for max 20% of total overs in an inning i.e. for a 50 overs match, a bowler can bowl max 10 overs, for 20 overs match, only max 4 overs.
    18:28 P2 stands for Powerplay 2. To put it in short, Powerplays are phases defining specific fielding restrictions. This is primarily to encourage more runs to be scored. The details depend on the format, but you will see them in limited overs only. No powerplay in Test cricket.
    19:38 The batters are not forced to run if they think they cannot make the run. Also if they start running and think they cannot make the run, they are totally allowed to go back to their creases (basically bases with wickets). No rule forcing them to run after committing for the same.
    21:41 The presenter did leave out one key detail. An over is a set of 6 LEGITIMATE deliveries. There are two types of ILLEGITIMATE deliveries which the presenter already mentioned i.e. Wide ball and No Ball. Also, a batter can get out when a delivery is deemed as a Wide ball (the only possible type of out I believe is a bowled out). However if a delivery is deemed No ball by the umpire, then even if the batter would be out otherwise (like say caught out or bowled out), then they would be deemed NOT OUT. The only exception to this is a Run out i.e. a batter can get Run out even if the ball is a No Ball. Hope you understand this.
    25:39 The reason why that comment says 'Must' is because if there is no bounce (we call it Full Toss), then a good batter can more easily track the trajectory than otherwise and punish such a play, usually by hitting a boundary. Bouncing introduces uncertainty, especially due to how a pitch is made, with all the cracks, bumps and crevices. Also especially because a bowler is not allowed to throw the ball like a Baseball pitch and thus there is not much curve which a typical curve ball would have in Baseball. Which is also why bowlers have to run to gain that momentum, unlike baseball.
    25:56 That comment is slightly wrong. Let me clarify for you. When a ball is deemed as a No Ball by the umpire, then automatically one run is provided to the batting team. That ball will be considered illegitimate and thus not be considered for calculating how many balls are left in the over. AND also the batter is awarded a Free Hit for the next delivery. Basically in a free hit, a batter cannot get out (except for a Run out).
    27:32 That is a beautifully explained comment about that concept I was about to explain, especially since you were shocked that players get like 20, 50 or 100 runs. Well a very few players have scored like 200+ runs as well, IN a limited overs match.

If the delivery is behind the off side of the batter and it hits the wicket from behind, that is a wide ball by rules (this is for limited overs, I believe a test match do not have that wide rule).

      Of course even a stump out is possible when a wide ball is delivered, as you said.

So in a 50 over game you will likley have 4 bowlers who all did 10 overs each, and maybe a couple other bowlers who chip in a few overs.

    at 20:45 you were asking "what does that mean?" basically he was saying that cricket is founded on the notion that everyone plays fair (generally) if a batsman knows he is out he will often walk off the field before the umpire confirms it. If a fielder does not make a clean catch he will not claim it. That's where we get the saying "it's just not cricket." Sadly, there have been several high profile cases of players cheating - and even the odd umpire!

    Gday. One video you should put to the top of the list is Shane Warne’s leg spin tutorial. RIP Warnie 😢 Not because you necessarily need to learn about the leg spin types but as a newbie it will highlight just how nuanced bowling is- consider there is swing bowling, spin bowling, fast bowling and more and the fielders will all change position according to who is in bat, who is in bowl and the stage of the game. It’s a highly strategic game. Focus on the idea that it’s hard to get a batter out but that your aim is to get as many of them out to stop them scoring runs before the inning is over. The bowler doesn’t get tired as they cannot bowl two overs in a row. They can swap and come back on later. In T20 they can only bowl a max of four overs total. You’re doing great it’s confusing as your brain is programmed differently but it will come to you.

    don't let the position chart he showed frighten you. in cricket people don't really tend to have specialist positions, the captain will place people around the field depending on the bowler. The positions are really just where you are around the field in terms of like the hands of a clock, and then how close or far you are from the centre of the field.
    so the captain might tell you to play "cover" thats at about the 3 oclock position from the batter. He then might tell you to play deep cover (further out) or short cover (further in)

    Very well done.The only missing thing is that the best batters are at the top of the order. So if you have lost 6 wickets, you proabably need to be a good bit more than halfway to the opponents` total. If you need more than 20 runs off the last two overs with only 2 wickets left, it can get very tense. The fall of two wickets can completely change the situation in the game. It is not very common but there are times when 3 wickets in 3 balls it`s called "doing the hat-trick".

    Test Matches are 5 days… 9:30-10am start, 6pm is ‘stumps’ when play finishes usually… and there is a lunch and ‘tea’ break during the day. If team 1 scores a high score in their 1st innings, then team 2 plays their 1st innings. If team 2 is a long way behind the 1st teams’s 1st innings score, team 1 can ‘force the follow on’ and send team 2 into bat again, immediately. Then if team 2 finishes their 2nd innings and STILL have not reached Tea, 1’s 1st innings score… team 1 does not need to bat again and is declared the winner. Cricket can be a very tactical games. Also, unlike Baseball or NFL… it is the captain, on the field, who make the decisions about fielding placement of the team and if the batting team is going to ‘declare’ their innings early (like when they have a very high score & think the other team won’t reach it).
