@@ReldrikGeo you can see some of that if you check out deadly bouncers in cricket.. An Australian died a couple of years ago after getting hit in the neck.
@@ReldrikGeo Yes, the ball is very hard. I played a lot of rugby but the only time I have broken a bone, in sport, is when playing cricket. I mistimed a catch and the ball broke my rib.
@@ReldrikGeo It’s second most popular because there are nearly 2 billion people in the subcontinent. And cricket is the most popular sport in all these countries.
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.
Cricket is fascinating for both novices and intellectuals alike here in India. A novice can just grab a bat and a ball and whack away. An intellectual can ramble about strategy, tactics, humidity, pitch moisture, weather conditions, their effect on ball movement, shot selection and placement of the shot. In short, cricket offers something for every one.
@@motionmix2523 difference is that in cricket, there are some technical details that need knowledge of several scientific principles. Not a cup of tea for everyone. There are several factors that even the biggest fans have no idea about.
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
That is playing with people who are also beginners like you,but if you are up against people.with experience it would be hard to even survive there,i was hit by a hard tennis ball which is populary used for gully cricket once in my head and it caused a minor concussion ,
The difference between baseball and cricket is that baseball is mainly about scoring runs and cricket is mainly how you get the batter out because it's easy to scroe in cricket and it's easy to get out in baseball.
When you look at cricket bat it very evident that Cricket is about how you score the runs from hitting the ball from that bat. While baseball bat is just a round one. Its not always power hitting in cricket bat. You can score runs while just positioning the bat in a way that it meets the ball in most yielding way.
03:39 The pitch size appear small because of camera angle but it's actually 22yards long. Field size different in different stadiums but the pitch size same at every stadiums. Hope you enjoy watching upcoming T20 World Cup.🎉🤠
16:05 A bowler can Bowl a maximum of: 4 overs on T20 format And 10 overs in ODI format. But in test format there is no limit in overs per bowler. There have been instances when a bowler has balled almost 50 overs in just 1 innings of a test match (test match usually has two innings)
In limited overs cricket, there is a rule that a team should use atleast 5 different bowlers. So, in the ODI(50 overs), a bowler balls max 10 overs(he is allowed to bowl less) of 6 balls each while in T20 (20 overs), a bowler balls max 4 overs(he is allowed to bowl less) of 6 balls each.
Actually, Cricket was played in America before Baseball became the favourite National sport. The first International Cricket Match was between the US and Canada in 1844, played at St.George's Cricket Ground in New York from 24th to 26th September.
Hey man! Its okay to feel comfused,I highly recommend you watch the t20 world cup being hostel by US,thats going to be some high quality cricket and best way to learn cricket
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.
@@user-km4lo8zz6z i specifically meant bowled. 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). But because it hit the wicket, the batter is bowled out. Of course even a stump out is possible when a wide ball is delivered, as you said.
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
u cant hit it anywhere as there are 9 fielders on the field and they can catch the ball then u are out so batsman tries to hit the ball in the gap b/w fielders and bowlers arrange the field according the ball he is bowling he can bowl full toss, out swing, inswing, yorker or spin the ball

@@STARK50 i am talking about the real reason.they distroyed cricket when they started to think about giving prioritise to only some big teams.team has dicreased after 2007 wc.why?now cricket is only popular in south asia most likely india and pakistan
@@Raihan__4535 Because of British colonisation. Anyway, Cricket is still popular in Australia, New Zealand, England, West Indies and South Africa. Maybe watch a few games and you'll realize.
Now that you know the basics, the only way to further fine tune your understanding of the game is to watch a couple of matches. You’ll get the hang of it very soon.
The pitch is 1 chain long (22 yards/ 66 feet). The best cricket game is the "Boxing Day Ashes Test Match" This five-day game that starts the day after Christmas day in Australia, so is perfect for watching with a bear recovering from a food coma on the lounge. Good excuse to lay low away from the summer's heat. Remember Australia's seasons are reversed to the northern hemisphere.
The highest score by a single batsman is around 400 runs by Brian Lara from the West Indies team against England in a Test Match. You should also check the video about Glenn Maxwell (Australia) who played with ‘no legs’ during a One Day match against Afghanistan. He had been fielding for 4 hours in the heat, and was at bat for over 2 hrs, suffering severe crams… still managed to score over 200 runs.
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.
Sense of Propriety: like giving a warning before tapping the non-striker out because he keeps Leading Off his crease. Everyone shakes hands before and after the match. The whole stadium applauds a good stroke of the bat regardless of team and may give a standing ovation when someone goes out after a superb At Bat. Stuff like that.
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. But yeah, it can get hard to keep up with them for most people.
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.
If you want to learn more about History of cricket then Cricket Explained by Netflix is good video although Copyright might be dicey since its by Netflix Also idk if you knew this but the first ever international cricket game was played between the USA and Canada in 1844 in New York
And the think is Cricket came in 1597 And Baseball came in 1839 In India Cricket came in 17th century because of Britishers And As Indian we played Cricket alot And Right NOW IPL is going on (Indian Premier League) this League go for 2 months in this 10 Teams play against each other in this not only Indian team play but all others countries team play in this teams it was 8 team since 2008 to 2021 but 2 new teams are playing now since 2022 And in 2022 IPL total worth was $11 Billion and right now 2024 it is much more And in this players are also aunction in millions of dollar in which team Since 2008-2024 this is 17th IPL(2024) All 10 Teams: win 1. Mumbai Indians (MI) 5 2. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) 5 (it was 4 but won in 2023 tie with MI) 3. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) 3 (They won the IPL 2024) 4.

T20 World Cup is coming to the US. It's' a T20 format the timings of the matches would be hardly 3 to 3.5 hours. So why don't you go and enjoy some live action. In US the matches will be held in three venues - Nassau County International Cricket Stadium New York, Grand Prairie Stadium Texas and Central Broward Park Florida.
It says at one point, "Two innings of 50 overs (Max, 600 deliveries per innings)" It should be 300 deliveries per innings; which makes 600 for the two innings together. (BTW in cricket it is always 'innings', never 'inning'.)
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.
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 bowlers in an ODI can bowl maximum 10 overs in an ODI and 4 overs in a T20. Hence their arms are not supposed to be sore. Also, the presenter said 600 balls per inning. It should be 300 balls in each inning and 600 balls for the entire match.
we can say baseball is just small part of cricket but we can't say same about cricket, cricket is bigger and has more concepts... cricket is also more technical... i suggest you to react to top catches in cricket, top run outs in cricket and top yorker bowleds in cricket... also you should watch at least one IPL match live to understand cricket...
Some facts : 1.Fielders don't use gloves to catch the ball(which is harder than the baseball). Only Wicket Keeper is allowed to use gloves. 2.Other types (not mentioned in video) to get out Obstructing the field : If the umpire thinks that the batsman has obstructed the fielder/ball that could have made him out(Run out) Handling the ball : The batsman is not allowed to touch the ball unnecessarily. Timed Out : When a batsman is out and the new batsman does not get ready to face the ball in stipulated time. (Recently, a batsman got out by this rule for the first time in an International Game between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh and created a controversy). Hit Wicket : Batsman's body part or the bat or any of his gear like the helmet hits the wicket (same as bowled but here it is not the ball that is hitting the wicket) Hit The Ball Twice: If a batsman hits a delivery with his bat and then deliberately hits the ball again for any reason other than to defend his wicket from being broken by the ball. If the ball is bouncing or rolling around near the stumps, the batsman is entitled to knock it away so as to avoid being bowled, but not to score runs. 3.The bowler should not bowl the ball above the batsman's waist height 'without bouncing it'. If he does that, it is a no-ball. 4.The ball after bouncing should not go 'above the head height' of the batman. If it does, it will be called a wide.
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
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
2:04 Not the Cricket team. The organisation called USA Cricket was founded in 2017. USA National Cricket team has been in existence for decades. Oddly enough Cricket itself has existed in USA since its founding as the game was played from pre independence time. 3:34 No, it's just the inner circle area of the Cricket Ground. A normal ground would be at least 3 times the size of a baseball ground. 3:53 That distance is approximately the same as between a pitcher & batter in baseball. So if you consider that short, then it's short. 8:50 Thank You for recognising that. For some reasons many (not all) Cricket fans are obsessed with comparing the two games saying Cricket is just like baseball which I completely disagree with. 14:11 By days he means days like in Golf which takes days to complete. This is just a team sport version of that as the play is continuous from Day 1 to Day 5 (each day has only 3 sessions of play). 15:52 Yes, Bowlers in Cricket happen to be among the most enduring athletes especially the Fast Bowlers. 28:09 😂 Probably true. A lot of Cricket fans like to watch such videos often just to see how well it has explained our favourite sport.
Tests are a great way to spend the holidays, sitting on the couch with the AC on just relaxing. It's also good to just have them on in the background while you do other tasks. Of course being there is great too, but its a Family Day Out, same as ODIs, they're both about 6 hours of play with the Morning Tea and Lunch breaks being about 45 mins each.
One of the rules with ODI's he didn't cover is that Bowlers can only bowl a maximum of 10 overs in a game, so 60 legal pitches, plus however many Wides and No Balls because they have to be re-bowled. Typically someone bowls for 4-5 overs then fields for a while and may come back later with a fresher arm and probably different batters. In a Test Match there are no limits and a bowler may bowl for 20 or 30 overs, but its not all at once and for Spin Bowlers who bowl some 40mph slower than Pace, its not so bad. Think Knucklers instead of Fast Balls.
You have to hit it with your bat. LBW's make cricket so much more exciting because without that rule everyone would just stand in front of the wicket all day with their bat up if they chose to with no fear of getting out. There needs to be a level of fear or risk of getting out each time a ball is delivered. Just a little nuance of that rule within the many many rules of that which I love, of cricket :)
There's not just 1 bowler. Usually it's 3-4 bowlers bowling their overs. So each bowler can have a number of overs they get based on their skills and bowlers do not bowl consecutive overs.
The best way to compare baseball to cricekt in a direct way: In cricket outs are hard and runs are easy in baseball outs are easy and runs are hard in baseball you want to keep your opponent to as few runs as possible, the outs are kind of going to happen no matter what in cricket you want to get your opponents out as fast as possible, the runs are kind of going to happen no matter what.
Like having 2 batters that run back and forth from 1st to home and whoever ends up on home faces next ball. If out the batter is replaced until 10 are out and thats the innings, of which there is just one innings (or 2 in the 5day game).
Don't worry, you don't have to watch "Test Matches" which goes for 5 days. Just enjoy T20 matches which goes for 3 hours. Cricket matches are really fun, once you know the basics
And after all that … … the Captain consults with the wicketkeeper and decides which bowler to bowl and sets the field according to the type of ball he will bowl and then the field placements change depend on the state of the wicket (it deteriorates over the 5 days with the balls bouncing on it hundreds of time and there is a greater deviation in the ball leaving the pitch on its flight to the stumps) and whether the batsman at the crease is left handed or right handed and the way he plays a particular type of ball. It is anything but simple to understand being thrown into it at the professional level but much easier when you grow up playing it in your backyard, on the street or at your local suburban club. It’s like playing Chess on a physical level professionally but checkers at a backyard level. My son is in his 50’s and still playing for a Club as a senior even though he has blown out his knees twice. The World T20’s Cricket Tournament is being played at the moment with some matches in the US.
It will take some time to learn about this game , and this is only possible by watching more cricket games. It doesn't matter whether USA team or Indian team is playing, the important thing is to know more about the game.
He didn't talk about the different types of bowlers. But it's not brutal on them. They need to be fit though, especially pace bowlers. They aren't allowed to throw the ball, i.e. bend their elbow like baseball pitchers do.
I mean sprinting 22 yards in awkward cricket gear isn’t such a short distance, you’re still carrying your bat too, and you have to do it over and over again
The reference to propriety is that the game is played in a manner that is called “The spirit of the game” it’s fairness and with good manner and respect for your opponents.
on a team of 11 for these longer format games you likely have 4 pure bowlers and at least a couple of "all rounders" who can bowl and bat. Also dont forget that bowlers cant do 2 overs in a row. 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.
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".
In a one day game there is a limit of how many overs a bowler may bowl, usually it's 20% of the total For example, 10 overs out of 50 in a one day game or 4 overs in a T20 game
As he said a Test Match lasts up to five days. Those days are usually; 11:00am to 1:00pm they play, 1:00pm to 1:40pm is lunch, 1:40pm to 3:40pm they play again, 3:40pm to 4:00pm is tea and then play to around 6 or 7pm depending on the number of overs bowled. So you usually get six hours or so of play on each day of a Test.
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)
React to the "deadliest bouncers of all time". A bouncer is a type of delivery bowled by the bowler such that it is pitch at half the length of the pitch and it bounces around the height of the head of the batter when it reaches him. It can be lethal, and its all part of the game.
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).
Cricket has 3 format test cricket which goes for 5 days need stamina endurance then one day which is for 7 to 8 hrs and has limited over of 50 over each and then is t-20 WHICH IS for 20 over each team and game is about 3 hours its very interesting game
The 2024 Cricket T20 (the short version of the game!) World Cup is being co-hosted by the USA this year. It starts in about a week. Hope you can catch some of the matches to see how it's played. Also, the US Major League Cricket T20 tournament starts the week after the end of the World cup in July. It is played in Grand Prairie TX and Morrisville (I think) North Carolina. Getting to see a live game is fantastic!
One thing he did not mention is that a Bowler is supposed to bowl the ball. Roughly speaking, ball has to be delivered overhead (there are more technical specs like angle of delivery) and ball cannot be thrown like baseball.
Americans should think about Golf which is a popular sport in the USA.. It is a game where major Golf Opens take Days to be played out... So it should not be such a shock to an American that a game could last 5 days..
cricket requires more skills than u might need in baseball..for example 1. the pitcher throws the ball maybe with a swing in the air but in cricket u need to bowl in a round arm action which is a difficult task, 2. the feilders in cricket dont use gloves to catch the ball but in baseball they use it, 3. cricket ball is harder than the baseball one...there are many things like this where u van find differences between the 2 game. Comparing to baseball, cricket is by far a game of skills, stamina and mind.
The Rules of Cricket refer to the actions of the players both ON and OFF the field do not bring the game into disrepute; in other words, players are required to be of best behavior at all times.
Take your time, and watch the video again; and each time you will begin to understand a bit more, THEN watch a couple of games( probably best with T20 to start then try a ODI, afterwards watch the video once more).
Take a look at a video showing some of the best catches. They are unbelievable! And remember they are all bare hand catches as no fielder (except for the wicket keeper) has a glove.
Test cricket has a special place in the hearts of hard core cricket fans.
FYI , CRICKET BALL IS HARD AF !!!!
It's basically a ROCK wrapped in leather, AND the fielders don't wear GLOVES except the keeper
I bet that can hurt if hit hard enough
@@ReldrikGeo you can see some of that if you check out deadly bouncers in cricket.. An Australian died a couple of years ago after getting hit in the neck.

@@ReldrikGeo Americans are dumb. They think what's not popular in USA will not be popular in the world 😂
@@ReldrikGeo I am thinking first cricket invented and basketball copied from cricket 😊
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.
this was not proper explaination of cricket... just basics...

He needs to learn more about the general game before he gets into that.
Another interesting fact is that some of the ball tracking technologies used in several sports now were invented for cricket.
Cricket is fascinating for both novices and intellectuals alike here in India.
A novice can just grab a bat and a ball and whack away.
An intellectual can ramble about strategy, tactics, humidity, pitch moisture, weather conditions, their effect on ball movement, shot selection and placement of the shot.
In short, cricket offers something for every one.
That's same for every sports lol.
@@motionmix2523 Not entirely same
Yeah LMAO @@motionmix2523
@@motionmix2523 difference is that in cricket, there are some technical details that need knowledge of several scientific principles. Not a cup of tea for everyone.
There are several factors that even the biggest fans have no idea about.
Days?
Yeah - 5 day test matches are the pinnacle of cricket. Like golf tournaments or Tour de France etc, plenty of sports go over multiple days.
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
Thank you for this, was very helpful
8:16 - Our dude has earned his qualification to be a cricket fan. Rest of the rules he will learn on the go as he watches more matches ❤
Playing cricket is much easier than learning it tbh.😂 Just go to the fields and play. U will know basic rules automatically.
That is playing with people who are also beginners like you,but if you are up against people.with experience it would be hard to even survive there,i was hit by a hard tennis ball which is populary used for gully cricket once in my head and it caused a minor concussion ,
The difference between baseball and cricket is that baseball is mainly about scoring runs and cricket is mainly how you get the batter out because it's easy to scroe in cricket and it's easy to get out in baseball.
This is a great analogy
When you look at cricket bat it very evident that Cricket is about how you score the runs from hitting the ball from that bat. While baseball bat is just a round one. Its not always power hitting in cricket bat. You can score runs while just positioning the bat in a way that it meets the ball in most yielding way.
If you start watching cricket, there are levels of complexity. You will fall in love. Baseball is hyper simplified.
03:39 The pitch size appear small because of camera angle but it's actually 22yards long. Field size different in different stadiums but the pitch size same at every stadiums. Hope you enjoy watching upcoming T20 World Cup.🎉🤠
16:05 A bowler can Bowl a maximum of:
4 overs on T20 format
And 10 overs in ODI format.
But in test format there is no limit in overs per bowler. There have been instances when a bowler has balled almost 50 overs in just 1 innings of a test match (test match usually has two innings)
In limited overs cricket, there is a rule that a team should use atleast 5 different bowlers.
So, in the ODI(50 overs), a bowler balls max 10 overs(he is allowed to bowl less) of 6 balls each while in T20 (20 overs), a bowler balls max 4 overs(he is allowed to bowl less) of 6 balls each.
Actually, Cricket was played in America before Baseball became the favourite National sport. The first International Cricket Match was between the US and Canada in 1844, played at St.George's Cricket Ground in New York from 24th to 26th September.
Also if it wasn't for the American Civil War they would have carried on playing Cricket.
Bro welcome to the world of cricket 🎉

The first International cricket match was between US and Canada. It used to be a very popular in the US before baseball was popular
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.
Thank you for answering my question
This is a wonderful comment and would make the otherwise incomplete video complete.
@@SpaceRanger21 Thanks
you cant be bowled on a wide. i beleive you mean stumped
@@user-km4lo8zz6z i specifically meant bowled. 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). But because it hit the wicket, the batter is bowled out.
Of course even a stump out is possible when a wide ball is delivered, as you said.
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
Test Cricket is ❤
u cant hit it anywhere as there are 9 fielders on the field and they can catch the ball then u are out so batsman tries to hit the ball in the gap b/w fielders and bowlers arrange the field according the ball he is bowling he can bowl full toss, out swing, inswing, yorker or spin the ball

Now that you know the basics, the only way to further fine tune your understanding of the game is to watch a couple of matches. You’ll get the hang of it very soon.
The pitch is 1 chain long (22 yards/ 66 feet). The best cricket game is the "Boxing Day Ashes Test Match" This five-day game that starts the day after Christmas day in Australia, so is perfect for watching with a bear recovering from a food coma on the lounge. Good excuse to lay low away from the summer's heat. Remember Australia's seasons are reversed to the northern hemisphere.
That should have been 300 deliveries per innings in ODI.
Yes that is why he said 600 for overall.
W0 20 is just entertainment.. but 50 odi or test is real skills
9:35 Yep.Highest score for one inning is 952 runs for 6 wickets/outs scored by Sri Lanka Against India in a Test cricket match
The highest score by a single batsman is around 400 runs by Brian Lara from the West Indies team against England in a Test Match. You should also check the video about Glenn Maxwell (Australia) who played with ‘no legs’ during a One Day match against Afghanistan. He had been fielding for 4 hours in the heat, and was at bat for over 2 hrs, suffering severe crams… still managed to score over 200 runs.
Explaining cricket to yanks is like trying to explain physics to a duck
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.
Sense of Propriety: like giving a warning before tapping the non-striker out because he keeps Leading Off his crease.
Everyone shakes hands before and after the match.
The whole stadium applauds a good stroke of the bat regardless of team and may give a standing ovation when someone goes out after a superb At Bat.
Stuff like that.
Fun fact: the co host nation "West Indies" have won both T20 and ODI world cups 2 times as of 2023.
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. But yeah, it can get hard to keep up with them for most people.
It's been years, still waiting for Baseball Explained for Cricket Fans.
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.

T20 World Cup is coming to the US. It's' a T20 format the timings of the matches would be hardly 3 to 3.5 hours. So why don't you go and enjoy some live action. In US the matches will be held in three venues - Nassau County International Cricket Stadium New York, Grand Prairie Stadium Texas and Central Broward Park Florida.
It says at one point, "Two innings of 50 overs (Max, 600 deliveries per innings)" It should be 300 deliveries per innings; which makes 600 for the two innings together. (BTW in cricket it is always 'innings', never 'inning'.)
The older usage was actually inning. It fell out of fashion after WWII
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.
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 bowlers in an ODI can bowl maximum 10 overs in an ODI and 4 overs in a T20. Hence their arms are not supposed to be sore.
Also, the presenter said 600 balls per inning. It should be 300 balls in each inning and 600 balls for the entire match.
Cricket began in the late 16th century in England. The Brits invented most games
we can say baseball is just small part of cricket but we can't say same about cricket, cricket is bigger and has more concepts... cricket is also more technical... i suggest you to react to top catches in cricket, top run outs in cricket and top yorker bowleds in cricket... also you should watch at least one IPL match live to understand cricket...

1.Fielders don't use gloves to catch the ball(which is harder than the baseball). Only Wicket Keeper is allowed to use gloves.
2.Other types (not mentioned in video) to get out
Obstructing the field : If the umpire thinks that the batsman has obstructed the fielder/ball that could have made him out(Run out)
Handling the ball : The batsman is not allowed to touch the ball unnecessarily.
Timed Out : When a batsman is out and the new batsman does not get ready to face the ball in stipulated time. (Recently, a batsman got out by this rule for the first time in an International Game between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh and created a controversy).
Hit Wicket : Batsman's body part or the bat or any of his gear like the helmet hits the wicket (same as bowled but here it is not the ball that is hitting the wicket)
Hit The Ball Twice:
If a batsman hits a delivery with his bat and then deliberately hits the ball again for any reason other than to defend his wicket from being broken by the ball. If the ball is bouncing or rolling around near the stumps, the batsman is entitled to knock it away so as to avoid being bowled, but not to score runs.
3.The bowler should not bowl the ball above the batsman's waist height 'without bouncing it'. If he does that, it is a no-ball.
4.The ball after bouncing should not go 'above the head height' of the batman. If it does, it will be called a wide.
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
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
2:04 Not the Cricket team. The organisation called USA Cricket was founded in 2017. USA National Cricket team has been in existence for decades. Oddly enough Cricket itself has existed in USA since its founding as the game was played from pre independence time.
3:34 No, it's just the inner circle area of the Cricket Ground. A normal ground would be at least 3 times the size of a baseball ground.
3:53 That distance is approximately the same as between a pitcher & batter in baseball. So if you consider that short, then it's short.
8:50 Thank You for recognising that. For some reasons many (not all) Cricket fans are obsessed with comparing the two games saying Cricket is just like baseball which I completely disagree with.
14:11 By days he means days like in Golf which takes days to complete. This is just a team sport version of that as the play is continuous from Day 1 to Day 5 (each day has only 3 sessions of play).
15:52 Yes, Bowlers in Cricket happen to be among the most enduring athletes especially the Fast Bowlers.
28:09 😂 Probably true. A lot of Cricket fans like to watch such videos often just to see how well it has explained our favourite sport.
Tests are a great way to spend the holidays, sitting on the couch with the AC on just relaxing.
It's also good to just have them on in the background while you do other tasks.
Of course being there is great too, but its a Family Day Out, same as ODIs, they're both about 6 hours of play with the Morning Tea and Lunch breaks being about 45 mins each.
One of the rules with ODI's he didn't cover is that Bowlers can only bowl a maximum of 10 overs in a game, so 60 legal pitches, plus however many Wides and No Balls because they have to be re-bowled.
Typically someone bowls for 4-5 overs then fields for a while and may come back later with a fresher arm and probably different batters.
In a Test Match there are no limits and a bowler may bowl for 20 or 30 overs, but its not all at once and for Spin Bowlers who bowl some 40mph slower than Pace, its not so bad. Think Knucklers instead of Fast Balls.
Yes cricket is definitely worth learning
You have to hit it with your bat. LBW's make cricket so much more exciting because without that rule everyone would just stand in front of the wicket all day with their bat up if they chose to with no fear of getting out. There needs to be a level of fear or risk of getting out each time a ball is delivered. Just a little nuance of that rule within the many many rules of that which I love, of cricket :)
@16:25 .. CORRECTION... Max 300 deliveries per innings .. 600 deliveries per match or 2 innings.. thanks
There's not just 1 bowler. Usually it's 3-4 bowlers bowling their overs. So each bowler can have a number of overs they get based on their skills and bowlers do not bowl consecutive overs.
The best way to compare baseball to cricekt in a direct way:
In cricket outs are hard and runs are easy
in baseball outs are easy and runs are hard
in baseball you want to keep your opponent to as few runs as possible, the outs are kind of going to happen no matter what
in cricket you want to get your opponents out as fast as possible, the runs are kind of going to happen no matter what.
Cricket balls are so hard they can be lethal.
Next video you should watch- shane Warne's spin bowling masterclass.
Like having 2 batters that run back and forth from 1st to home and whoever ends up on home faces next ball.
If out the batter is replaced until 10 are out and thats the innings, of which there is just one innings (or 2 in the 5day game).
Don't worry, you don't have to watch "Test Matches" which goes for 5 days. Just enjoy T20 matches which goes for 3 hours.
Cricket matches are really fun, once you know the basics
And after all that … … the Captain consults with the wicketkeeper and decides which bowler to bowl and sets the field according to the type of ball he will bowl and then the field placements change depend on the state of the wicket (it deteriorates over the 5 days with the balls bouncing on it hundreds of time and there is a greater deviation in the ball leaving the pitch on its flight to the stumps) and whether the batsman at the crease is left handed or right handed and the way he plays a particular type of ball. It is anything but simple to understand being thrown into it at the professional level but much easier when you grow up playing it in your backyard, on the street or at your local suburban club. It’s like playing Chess on a physical level professionally but checkers at a backyard level. My son is in his 50’s and still playing for a Club as a senior even though he has blown out his knees twice. The World T20’s Cricket Tournament is being played at the moment with some matches in the US.
It will take some time to learn about this game , and this is only possible by watching more cricket games. It doesn't matter whether USA team or Indian team is playing, the important thing is to know more about the game.
He didn't talk about the different types of bowlers. But it's not brutal on them. They need to be fit though, especially pace bowlers. They aren't allowed to throw the ball, i.e. bend their elbow like baseball pitchers do.
Yes its a small sprint.. around 20 metres.. but taking even 3 runs can be challenging as even fielders run fast to return the ball 😊
Baseball has a very easy rules, but to know all rules of cricket you have to play it for some time
Us Aussies are the powerhouse of cricket with most success with wins
Test matches, the "days" version, is six hours playing time over seven hours real time. So it's a maximum of 30 hours.
16:02 Correct is - Max 300 legal deliveries per inning .. Half time of a match is called an inning
I mean sprinting 22 yards in awkward cricket gear isn’t such a short distance, you’re still carrying your bat too, and you have to do it over and over again
The reference to propriety is that the game is played in a manner that is called “The spirit of the game” it’s fairness and with good manner and respect for your opponents.
on a team of 11 for these longer format games you likely have 4 pure bowlers and at least a couple of "all rounders" who can bowl and bat. Also dont forget that bowlers cant do 2 overs in a row. 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.
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".
In a one day game there is a limit of how many overs a bowler may bowl, usually it's 20% of the total
For example, 10 overs out of 50 in a one day game or 4 overs in a T20 game
Just like golf, test cricket is allowed a maximum 5 days (not 4). It is not uncommon for a test match not to last the whole 5 days
As he said a Test Match lasts up to five days. Those days are usually; 11:00am to 1:00pm they play, 1:00pm to 1:40pm is lunch, 1:40pm to 3:40pm they play again, 3:40pm to 4:00pm is tea and then play to around 6 or 7pm depending on the number of overs bowled. So you usually get six hours or so of play on each day of a Test.
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)
React to the "deadliest bouncers of all time".
A bouncer is a type of delivery bowled by the bowler such that it is pitch at half the length of the pitch and it bounces around the height of the head of the batter when it reaches him.
It can be lethal, and its all part of the game.
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).
I played low level cricket, retired 15 years ago, and my bowling arm is STILL sore!
Test cricket (5 days) is brilliant, weather changes, pitch changes
Cricket has 3 format test cricket which goes for 5 days need stamina endurance then one day which is for 7 to 8 hrs and has limited over of 50 over each and then is t-20 WHICH IS for 20 over each team and game is about 3 hours its very interesting game
The 2024 Cricket T20 (the short version of the game!) World Cup is being co-hosted by the USA this year. It starts in about a week. Hope you can catch some of the matches to see how it's played. Also, the US Major League Cricket T20 tournament starts the week after the end of the World cup in July. It is played in Grand Prairie TX and Morrisville (I think) North Carolina. Getting to see a live game is fantastic!
Baseball needs more physical strength and cricket needs more mental strength :)
One thing he did not mention is that a Bowler is supposed to bowl the ball. Roughly speaking, ball has to be delivered overhead (there are more technical specs like angle of delivery) and ball cannot be thrown like baseball.
that little manouver there WAS pretty cool
Americans should think about Golf which is a popular sport in the USA.. It is a game where major Golf Opens take Days to be played out... So it should not be such a shock to an American that a game could last 5 days..
cricket requires more skills than u might need in baseball..for example 1. the pitcher throws the ball maybe with a swing in the air but in cricket u need to bowl in a round arm action which is a difficult task, 2. the feilders in cricket dont use gloves to catch the ball but in baseball they use it, 3. cricket ball is harder than the baseball one...there are many things like this where u van find differences between the 2 game. Comparing to baseball, cricket is by far a game of skills, stamina and mind.
The Rules of Cricket refer to the actions of the players both ON and OFF the field do not bring the game into disrepute; in other words, players are required to be of best behavior at all times.
Take your time, and watch the video again; and each time you will begin to understand a bit more, THEN watch a couple of games( probably best with T20 to start then try a ODI, afterwards watch the video once more).
In ODIs each bowler is only allowed to bowl 10 overs per innings. In T20s it’s 5 overs per innings.
In T20 , 4 overs actually not 5 .
Take a look at a video showing some of the best catches. They are unbelievable! And remember they are all bare hand catches as no fielder (except for the wicket keeper) has a glove.
He's not claiming Baseball is exactly like Cricket though
As a cricket fan I am glad at your work of spreading cricket.👍👍
