    One minor but noticeable difference is that in cricket if the ball goes into the crowed it must be returned. This is because the age and state of the ball is part of game play and strategy. In limited over cricket there is a new ball for each innings, in test cricket I believe the ball is replaced every 80 overs.

    couple of minor corrections. when it said 118-5 it's not 5 people have gotten 118 runs because there are still two players at bat who have contributed 39 runs to that total (Kohli 29 & Hardik 10) so collectively it is seven players making 118 runs and five players that have been either run out or caught out. secondly in the following example it says there is a target of 222 which he says means the Indian side scored 222. this is incorrect. India would have scored 221 runs meaning England need to score one more run to win. both teams reaching the same number of runs would be a draw. also your observation about hitting the ball directly behind you does happen if you look up "cricket virtual eye" you can see an image of all the shots played in an innings, illustrating where each hit went.

    We used to play Cricket on Astroturf at School and, my God, the BURNS T_T
    To answer your Question "how Fast?" it's not as simple an answer. There are different types of Bowling, Spin Bowlers (usually take a very short jog/walk up to bowl) and they use the spin of the ball to bamboozle batters, their deliveries are usually 45-55mph. Pace Bowlers are the speed kings (there's actually 2 different types, Seam and Swing Bowling but I'll lump them both into 'Pace'), these are the guys who take a few dozen yard run ups to Bowl and they're usually 80-90mph+.
    The Ball: There's 2 types of Ball used in top flight Cricket, the most widely used is called "The Kookaburra", hailing from Australia, it's Seam is machine stitched so it's tighter compared to the other, being; "The Duke", hailing from England (where it is almost exclusively used), it's Seam is hand stitched which means it is more pronounced on the surface of the ball, this helps Pace bowlers get the ball moving through the air with their technique. Both are Cork and Rubber interior with two Leather outerhemispheres stitched together and weigh ~5.5oZ, it's like being hit with a Brick if you're not wearing Pads.

    Cricket bowling speeds can vary immensely. To focus on men, which is much faster than women, for Amateur cricket, think village cricket a spin bowler, meaning he will spin the ball left or right after it hits the ground will bowl at 25 mph, whereas a professional spin bowler will be much quicker 50 mph. A fast bowler village will bowl up to about 65 to 70 mph. A professional fast bowl usually is 80mph although top fast bowlers can be 95 mph.
    Keep in mind, bowlers can move the ball in the air, of which there are many way to do this and there ability to pitch the ball in many places on the length of the pitch, it is actually hard to judge where to hit the ball with the bat.
    The ball also to note is very hard, and at speed even with all the pads and helmet and box it's very easy to get hit and cause a lot of damage. Very few people would be able to face an 80mph ball, it's a scary thing, but even a spin ball at 45 can cause a lot of issues.
    Cricket is hard, it takes a lot of skill both bowling and batting. Fielders do not wear gloves with the exception of the wicket keeper and that ball hurts a lot when it is caught at speed and many people break fingers at some point when catching the ball.
    It's a great game, but it's hard, yet also full of tradition.

    Cricket pitches in schools and local parks are often made of concrete, because, yes normal grass is no good unless it's had some serious manicuring. The grass pitches at professional Cricket grounds have full time greenskeepers that get paid the big bucks just to look after the grass. There's actually a Cricket World Cup occurring, right now, and in your part of the world, and I bet you haven't even noticed.
    The ball is hard leather and is as hard as a rock, it's harder than a Baseball. There are slow bowlers, medium pace bowlers and fast bowlers, the fast bowlers would bowl at speeds comparable to baseball, while the slow bowlers attempt to confuse the batters with spin.

    The ball is very hard, and a fast bowler can often deliver the ball at over 90 mph. The world's top teams are Australia, India, England, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, the West Indies, and Bangladesh (in approximately that order, though any of those teams can beat the others on a good day). The US ranks about 15th or so in the world, but had a great victory over Pakistan the other night. A couple of things not mentioned: consecutive overs are bowled from different ends of the pitch, so the batter whose on strike changes from one over to the next. And it's not just the field dimensions that change from ground to ground - because the ball is bounced, the consistency of the pitch can make a huge difference. The world cup games being played in the US at the moment include high-scoring matches in Texas and low-scoring ones in New York because of the differences in the pitches.

      Hell no. You have to play on the part of the sand that is harder, but its close to the water so you cannot really hit the fall that far in that direction or else a really good swimmer has to go and get the ball. That is not good. I played cricket as a child on different surfaces, including just dirt roads and concrete. If you have a surface that is a bit uneven, you just even it out. Just the areas where you plan to pitch the ball. Usually if you are playing cricket on the beach you play what we call Tip and One. Meaning once the ball touch the bat you have to run.

    You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
    Each man that's in the side that's in the field goes out and when he's out comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.
    When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
    When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
    Sometimes, there are men still in and not out.
    There are men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
    Depending on the weather and the light, the umpires can also send everybody in, no matter if they're in or out.
    When both sides have been in and all the men are out (including those who are not out), then the game is finished

    Also... First class, and more importantly, test cricket is also professional, and the royal family prefer rugby and horse racing as far as I know. The real difference is that a T20 match is like a punch-up outside a honkytonk, while a test match is like the Battle of Waterloo. Outside the honkytonk, there are lights and girls and music, and the fight is simple to understand, although pretty undignified. It's generally over with quickly, though, so children and other people with short attention spans can stay awake for it, like TV advertisers. The other is the Battle of Waterloo!

    The traditional ball is a cork centre tightly wound with twine and covered with a stitched leather cover. It is essentially the same way a traditional baseball was made, but there is an equatorial raised seam which plays a significant part in how bowlers use it. It is harder than a a baseball, slightly smaller and 10-15 grams heavier. Unlike a baseball a cricket ball is used for up to 80 overs (480 'pitches') unless it is damaged or out kf shape, even then, it must be replaced with a ball of similar age.

    Not "points".....RUNS.
    Your foot must NOT cross the line when bowling.
    It depends on WHERE the ball hits the batsman/woman if they are out or not. It is LBW . Leg Before Wicket. And then only on specific areas of the leg.
    There are different types of bowlers, based on whether they are FAST or SPIN bowlers.
    The ball weighs around 5.50 ounces and is made from a compressed cork inner covered in leather.

      "LBW" is something of a misnomer: the whole body counts as "leg", except for the (backs of the) hands (gloves). The umpire just has to think it would have hit the wicket had the body not been there. If you duck to avoid a ball, you can get hit in the head and be out "lbw"

    FYI: cricket 'on concrete' is played with a soft ball (tennis ball) or a taped ball (moves fast), it can't be played with a regular hard cricket ball, won't work (that's crazy and someone will get killed). One more thing; the crease (the line in front of the wicket is your safe space...stay within it (if anyone from anywhere on the field strikes it while you're outside then you're out. Clear? Cricket is exciting because there are so many 'shot' you can play. Fast bowlers life-threatening fast, and spin bowlers are slow but tricky.

    In Australia as kids, we play it in the backyard on a lawn that will do anything, the road with a garbage bin as the wickets, at the beach on sand (doesn't bounce so has to be either on the wet sand or only bowl the ball on the full)... Kids generally play it in an organised format on an astro turf / concrete pitch with softer balls.
    But you're right in the assumption that the pitch will change a number of factors - even the highest level pitches will have bumps and indentations that impact what the ball will do - in the 5 day test matches, this is par for the course. The pitch deteriorates and batting becomes far more difficult. The ball, the surface and time are all vital factors in a cricket match.

    You asked how fast they are throwing the ball. The deliveries in professional matches tend to be between 50 and 95 miles per hour - which, over a 22-yard pitch, means the batter has approximately 0.5 to 1 second to try to hit it. Slower bowlers put spin on the ball to deceive the batter when it bounces, and all bowlers vary the pace and try to drift the arc of the delivery, to again deceive the batter.

      Hard to judge on TV because the default camera position is from behind the bowler and the long-focus lens they use foreshortens the apparent distance.
      Note the 22 yards is based on an old measurement called a Chain. This was used in medieval strip farming where peasants were allocated strips of land 1 chain wide by one furlong which gives 1 acre.

    The 180 degree shot does happen, but it’s usually by a batsman who angles his bat in such a way as to act like a ramp. If the bowler is very quick (80/90mph) the ball can clear the boundary for 6 runs. Other times a batsman does try to scoop the ball up and over the fielders behind the wicket but that would depend on how high the ball is bouncing when it reaches him.

    The commentator in the originating video made an error when explaining the score ribbon at the bottom of the screen. He said that target of 222 meant that the first team scored that amount of runs. That is wrong! It means that the team that batted first scored 221 runs, and to beat that the team batting second needs to get 222. The target is always one run more than the other team scored.

    You made an exceptional point about the pitch being bouncy. Pitches can behave as bouncy or flat or no bounce at all. And therefore the pitch’s behavior determines if it is more helpful to the bowler (pitcher) or the batsman. The ball is heavy and extremely hard. There are spin bowlers ( check out famous Australian Shane warne’s “leg” spin bowler’s videos for this …. There are “off” spin bowlers too ) whose speed may be in the vicinity of 45 to 55 mph , medium pacers also called swing bowlers who tend to swing the ball in the air before it pitches about 55 to 70 mph and fast bowlers whose speed are around 70 to 90 mph but occasionally may be faster too. Australia generally is the stronger team though India , Pakistan , England , South Africa are tough teams too.

    here in Sri Lanka we play cricket with Tennis Balls on little bit of dusty grounds. surface doesn't really matter since the balls are Tennis balls. but in order to play pro cricket you need to have a proper hard surface because the leather ball is heavier than a tennis ball.
    fast bowlers most of the time stay closer to 150kmph/100mph. and balls can be swinging.
    spin bowlers stays under 100kmph/70mph most of the time because less speed makes more spin on the ball when it hits the ground.

    Generally, cricket balls are made from three different materials: leather, cork, and string. Cork makes the ball's core. The string is then used to wrap the core many times over for reinforcement.
    Leather is used to wrap both the string and cork. Normally, the leather is dyed red (which shows that it is to be used in test and first-class matches) or white (indicating that they should be used for Twenty20 and one-day matches).
    Check this out:
    The leather case may be in two or four pieces depending on the level of cricket. Regardless of whether it is a two-piece or four-piece ball, the common thing is that two hemispheres will be joined at the ball's equator using several stitch strings.
    Cricket balls are hard and shiny. Since the game involves bowling at high speeds towards another person, it is vital that the players wear protective gear like arm guards, pads, and helmets.
    For men's cricket, the official ball weighs between 155.9 and 163 grams. The ball's circumference is between 22.4 and 22.9 centimeters. For women's cricket, the ball usually weighs between 140 and 151 grams. It has a circumference of between 21 and 22.5 centimeters.

    04:38 Yes ball has to be away from your hand before stepping out
    05:45 yes you don't have to run if a boundary has been hit
    06:45 yes both batters need to be safe for a run. The one nearer to the crease will be declared out if stumps are hit before passing it
    08:28 yes.. No matter what.. If the ball hits the stump and knocks of the bails after the bowler releases the ball and no other fielder has touched the ball.. It's an out.
    10:55 yes.. The batter may move away.. However if the umpire thinks it would have hit the wicket, you'd be out.
    12:00 ball is made of hard wood, covered with thin leather.. And a bowler can throw at a speed of 120 kmph average.. Slowest can be 80 kmph(slow but they swing and turn dangerously after bouncing), fastest can be 150kmph (if it hits you in unguarded part.. You'd be seriously injured)..
    14:05 yes many have tried that and many have succeeded in hitting a home run or a 6 like that

    There are different styles of bowling but a top "fast bowler" can do over 90mph. Another style that is slower is a spin bowler, who tries to make the trajectory of the bounce really hard to judge. Mixing up the different styles of bowling depending on the format and conditions is one of the main tactical decisions the team must make during the game.

    A fast bowler will often bowl what is called a bouncer (sometimes bumper) where the ball is pitched short of a length and bounces to head height - very intimidating. There have been several events where the batter has been badly injured (Rick McCosker) or even killed (Phil Hughes). In the 5day game the degradation of the pitch means the bounce of the ball becomes more unpredictable to the benefit of both quick and spin bowlers. I think there 109 countries registered with the ICC. 💚💛🏏

    theres diffrent kind of blowers too. slow pace spin bowlers, medium paced bowlers who can "swing the ball left or right", fast pace bowlers who can take you head off at 90mph+. its not one pace fits all.
    the biggest test match series is between england and australia, its a 5 test series, and it called "the ashes". its always played with these two teams, but they rotate home advantage bewteen england n australia ever 4 years.
    "has anybody hit the ball 180degres backwards"?, yes. a shot call the dilshan scoop does exactly that, or a flick shot, or a hook shot, in cricket you can hit the ball 360 degrees around the park. you are not limited by just hitting it forwards like in baseball.

    It gets a bit difficult with LBWs and stumping and other jargons related to run rate, strike rate but yeah the basics are still quite simple.

    When you said about the bowler letting go of the ball before the line it’s actually the forward foot of the bowler that can’t land beyond the line.
    As long as some part of the forward foot is on the line (heel to toe) it’s legal (or before the line is legal too) .
    You have to learn the length of your run up and measure it in steps before you start so you know where to begin the run up from and your feet will land where they need to as you do the bowling motion.
    The balls are hard!! I watched someone misjudge a catch and get hit in the face, it was horrific! Every bone broken damaged split, surgery after surgery to fix it was nasty.
    When it says 118-5 that means 5 batsman have gone in and then got out so the two batsman on the field would be 6 and 7 of 11, but have to have two batsman so 10 is number wickets needed for the whole team to be out. Unless you play in some stupid drunk pub team so times the last bloke stays alone, nobody really cares it’s all for a laugh not in serious matches or a professional capacity just agreements that take place on random occasions in local games with people that don’t get picked for competitive games… they don’t tend last too long 😂

    Some lower-grade club games do use a concrete pitch to play on because of the difficulty and cost of maintaining a really good grass pitch. Durability!! The thing is that many of the arts of bowling are loss as you can't spin or seam the ball the same way - and concrete pitches destroy cricket balls real fast! You DON'T THROW the ball (the bowler, that is) You would be kicked out of the game! It has to be BOWLED with a straight arm. At the top level, speeds will vary from about 85 to 160kph depending on the type of bowling : Spinners bowl slower and fast (seam) bowlers bowl faster. India and Australia are the traditional best teams, but countries like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have emerged in recent decades. West Indies used to be giants several decades ago and NZ were one-day world champions 2-3 years ago. The shorter the version of the game, the more level the field is, with Afghanistan and the Netherlands having had some big 20-over international wins in recent years.

    A cricket ball is slightly smaller and heavier than a baseball. It weighs between 5.5 to 5.75 ounces (0.34 to 0.36 pounds), compared to a baseball's 5 to 5.25 ounces (0.31 to 0.33 pounds). Made of cork, wound with string, and covered in hard leather, a cricket ball has a prominent seam running around its circumference, which bowlers use to grip and control the ball, making it swing or spin. The leather is dyed red for traditional matches or white for limited-overs games, and its hardness allows it to bounce high off the pitch, adding to the strategic complexity of the game.
