Everything I know about Cricket I learned from a Bollywood movie I had to watch for a film studies class in college. In the movie, the native Indians (as in India, this is Bollywood we’re talking about) challenged the oppressor Brits to a game of Cricket for their freedom, and the Indians had to learn how to play the game (which, being a Bollywood movie, they did through song and dance and major production numbers). The only thing I really remember about it was that I was appalled that a single game apparently took three whole days to play. Edit: the movie’s name is “Lagaan”. It’s 3.7 hours long. Because Bollywood.
Even though I'm Australian, my only knowledge of Cricket is that for half the game you sit and do nothing, then the other half you stand in a field and get skin cancer. At least that's how it was played in my old primary school days... How any of that was considered 'sport' I'll never fucking know.
I don’t even know if anything you did was good. I didn’t know cricket had bats?? I thought you just gently push a ball towards the pole thing while the other person tries to crouch down to catch it
@@pupyasko1233 lol, pitch is the bit they run on. for cricket its one long rectangle path they run back n forth on. in baseball its a diamond shape they run a lap around.
My dad played cricket for our local team as a kid. Hes tried to explain the rules to me multiple times and I still dont understand the rules or how to play. Its the reason why I stick to ice hockey. Its so much fuckin simpler. Plus its a lot more entertaining than cricket.
I'd be offended by that statement, if I hadn't gorged myself on half a jar of Nutella once, gotten very very sick, and could never think of it again without becoming immediately sick.
Brian Lara Cricket, that was a great cricket game. Very difficult. You couldn't just hit it where you wanted. You had to work out the right shot and angle or you'd edge it to the slips every time.
So with Cricket you have to hit the ball and thereby roll it out of the field to get point? And when it's rolling you can change sides with the batter?
I've been watching cricket on the tv for the majority of my life and i'm still not entirely sure how you play, all i know is that you cheer when you get someone out or twat the ball out of the pitch. Also not a big fan of tea either, i prefer coffee.
As a Aussie my understanding of cricket is you play it after Christmas lunch with a bunch of drunk adults until your uncles who's maybe had 1 to many shots before 2pm pegs the ball instead if bowling it hurting the youngest person there and upsetting everyone
MY GUESS (I'm Spanish) · You earn points (runs) by either having an inside-the-park play and running back-and-forth like an idiot OR by getting it out of the park (not sure why you get 4 or 6) · I still have no clue on how elimination works outside of not being in "base" when the pitcher gets the ball back and hitting the sticks with the ball during a pitch
As much as I enjoy watching a bit of cricket, it's massively confusing with all the phrases and terms they use. And yes, the Ashes happens over the course of a month or so, each match (or test) is five days long at a maximum, and they play five matches (depending on weather), so it can take a long time! Each team gets two innings at a maximum, so two chances to bowl and bat each test. I know Dan asked why cricket isn't more popular, but it is the second-most watched sport in the world behind association football, so it's far more popular than you think! It's mainly an excuse to get boozed up and watch a slow-paced game while you get rained on.
All I know about cricket is... the Netherlands won the world cup(?) against India(??) one time, and that's pretty cool. I didn't even know we had a cricket team, really, but that's cool. I have no idea what's happening here.
I'm a little European cricket nerd and I know I'm late but, I just have to inform you on the game that is cricket. The Netherlands won the ICC trophy which is for minor cricket nations. Also fun fact the Netherlands are one of the oldest cricketing nations with the game in Holland dating back to the early 1800s. Apologies for boring you, have a good day.
I knew nothing about how cricket works before watching this, and now I think I somehow know even less. I'd need to learn something to reach the level of knowing nothing.
I understand why people _don’t_ like baseball, but at least there are some flashy plays like guys running up walls, or diving into the crowd. I’ll _never_ know how you can fill a stadium-or whatever cricket calls them: a woompletuff?-with a game devoid of anything akin to fun.
When I was younger my Uncle once gifted me a cricket game, it was the most boring thing I ever played and the graphics were atrocious, almost like the Dev's knew no-one wanted to play! I'm glad to see you had the same experience all these years later Dan
I play n love cricket,, even have a membership for the oval - those hundred matches were really fun and I like the t20s (20 overs) but for the 50 over/4 day games I bring my switch and some sudokus lol - the shorter the game the more aggressive the play which is just better really
As a person who'd like to say I understand a fair bit about cricket. You're essentially right. The bowler tries to hit the stumps (or those 3 sticks) and the batsman tries to stop them, while scoring runs (by running between the two sets of stumps). Then basically whoever scores more runs wins.
I take it, this is a full test match? What's your thoughts on T20? I do know that when the umpire puts his index finger in the air, the batsman is out and all 11 players on the batting side need to be out before the other team can bat.
A bunch of cricket fans were going absolutely mad over cricker 100, an exciting and revolutionary version of cricket that only has 100 overs, exciting and revolutionary of course because it means you don't have to play as much Cricket: a game where people are happy to get less of it
As an American I know even less than Dan, about Cricket. Now I’m not sure about crickets, we’d have to quiz each other about cricket facts in order to settle that.

Edit: the movie’s name is “Lagaan”. It’s 3.7 hours long. Because Bollywood.
Why did you type out “3.7 hours”?
Mr. Reader Reads - “Typing it out” implies I used number words: “Three-point-seven”. Also... why do you ask?

"It's a wicket 😂😂.. ik that much @ 1:05 " ... *Stumps* meh boi, wickect is what u call sending a batsman back to the stands 😂😂😭
The stumps are the vertical sticks that the wicket is made from. Three vertical stumps and two horizontal bails make one wicket.
I thought wicket was an Ewok?

As a fan of baseball, I now understand how boring it feels to watch it as someone who doesn’t like it. At least baseball is easy to follow.

It's just too good to play while listening to podcast style videos
The most infuriating part of this video is... the scorecard. Which puts the wickets before the runs. Which is heresy. Runs before wickets.
