This is fucking glorious. Explaining cricket is the most tedious thing to do yourself but listening to someone else attempt it is so enjoyable. Never thought I'd hear Brian Lara and Glenn McGrath pop up on O&A.
As an Indian with only a passing interest in cricket, it is infuriating to see Opie's obstinate ignorance , when someone's trying his best to explain the Gentleman's Game. Anthony is at least humouring Jefferies.
+Daniel Allen It's true that we do consume a lot of American culture; we also generally have a lot of knowledge about other cultures outside of our own. Americans meanwhile generally know nothing about any other cultures, yet somehow see this as a strength. But we simply don't matter, do we?
Bro you really don’t see the difference between a high scoring game like football or basketball and the insane high one of 400-500 runs? You can’t say a 5 day game with hundreds of runs isn’t stupid. It’s stupid. American sports are far superior. And I love when people say “soccer is the most popular sport in the world” yeah in irrelevant countries. Google which sports league makes the most money in the world. I’ll give you a spoiler. It’s the NFL. Makes way more than the premier league. American football blows soccer out of the water. Tougher, more entertaining, more talented athletes.
Indians and Iranians also play kabaddi, that's a hell of a sport. takes a while to understand wtf is going on but its awesome. One of the most exciting sports I've seen
Did they forget about beach cricket which can be played with a tennis ball, at least 2 dogs fielding and the possibility of bowling someone out but them getting another turn at bat because "that was a hard one"
You'll usually have 5 out of your 11 be bowlers, although there's no limit. The shorter versions (1 day and 20/20) each bowler is only allowed a certain number of overs (set of six deliveries), so you have to rotate through the team. Other players will be specialist batsmen (batters) and 1 wicket keeper (the guy behind the stumps with the gloves on).
I remain mostly mystified, but its objectively not "retarded" or "mongoloid" baseball. Try and get a palsy kid to watch and understand it at all, much less for 8 hours straight.
Listening to Opie just makes me want to punch a baby. "Why is that" "What do you meannnn" "What do you mean round" "What do you mean behind him" ... what a shock jock
Ant: "Why does two mean six?"
jim :"It just does!"
Slik Rick The two raised hands mean the ball flew over the fence ( hence the high hands ) which gives the maximum runs ie 6
One means out. Wavy side to side means four. Two arms out means wide, which means one run plus an extra ball. I bet that confuses you yanks ay. 😀

Not a cricket fan but as I’ve gotten older I can appreciate the endurance cricket requires.
As a lover of cricket, this is both frustrating and funny as.
23:43 "The Ashes is a tournament between Australia and New Zealand"
WAT
Opie doesn't even try to understand
0zziefan well slap a blond wig on me and call me Opie, because fuck that shit!
To be fair as soon as I heard it took multiple days I said fuck that shit.
Agreed, another staggering case of willful yank ignorance. It's like they're proud of knowing nothing about anything outside the Continental USA.

I don't think he can. I actually think he's mentally slack jawed
Explaining cricket to Americans is near impossible!
Explaining anything to Americans is near impossible!
and they say its Baseball for Mongols........... Actually Baseball is a derivative of Cricket... So actuallyBaseball is Cricket for Mongols....
ComeOnMaaan
you've done fuck all except sit on your fat arse waving your toilet paper of a flag taking claim to stuff you have nothing to do with.
ComeOnMaaan i think your mummy is calling you for dinner!

God, this makes me want to play cricket so much, haven't played in years and forgot how fun it was.
Jim Jeffries “ test cricket is the most exciting thing in sports”
2 minutes later, “they had to change test cricket to make it more exciting”😐
"Why don't they wear gloves?".. "Because we're men"
+overmostheads Classic!
Instantly shut up Opie for a min
he was trashing 'soccer' for not scoring high enough, now he's trashing cricket for scoring too high lol wtf?
Euros say baseball is boring because they don’t score as much as cricket yet say soccer low scoring makes it more exciting. Like wtf

I love how they find cricket rules so stupid, including several which are almost identical to baseball rules.
"He hit it back onto his stumps, fucking idiot!"... I don't know why but that line makes me laugh every time.
A cricket game goes for 5 days, and O&A thinks that's crazy. If a baseball series goes 5 games over 5 days, they don't think anything about it.
As a English man I can confirm cricket is fucking boring
Almost every feature of cricket that Jim describes is nearly the same as in baseball and every time they say "That's stupid" or "Whaaat!?"
I love how the Americans freak out so quickly, "SOMETHING FOREIGN I DON'T UNDERSTAND!? AAAAH DOES NOT COMPUTE"
Lol where did they "freak out"?
Yes… Americans… the country that’s famous for being a melting pot and a nation of a immigrants , “freak out” at foreign things.
Dork.
Opie is exceptionally infuriating in this one. Anthony is at least trying to listen. Would love to have Opie at the wicket and just bowl beamers.
Did Jim say the Ashes was between Australia and New Zealand?
JJ's fucking reactions kill me. "Look at how much it moves!" Godspeed international sports.
Opie: I don't understand it so it's dumb...
Cricket? Nobody understands cricket. You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket.
Later, Freak! Got work to do!
SirWilliamMcL classic
6 runs
lol aw shit that took me back ,
Really it's not that hard to understand?? Jim does a good job to explaining it
Bahahah 🤣 3:44 “it’s like fcking mongoloid baseball!”
Has it ever been addressed in the show how Ant always pronounces "finger" just like "dinger"?
Plenty of times. I can't think of specific times but it has been addressed a good number of times.
opie is such a baby with this, doesnt even try to understand
Bill Burr explained cricket to the boys when he came back from touring in Australia. I think it's uploaded somewhere.
I know nothing about cricket, this is so funny.
Indians and Iranians also play kabaddi, that's a hell of a sport. takes a while to understand wtf is going on but its awesome. One of the most exciting sports I've seen
It's tig for retards.
Lol good one
I love cricket. I don't care if other people don't.
RIP Warney
Brian Lara, who the hell's that.
Haha, great stuff
Jim still salty at the South Africans 428 ;)
I am glad Jim likes test cricket. It's the best format of cricket.
This is hilarious 😂
I feel stress in my stomach listening to this.
Cricket is heaven.
Did they forget about beach cricket which can be played with a tennis ball, at least 2 dogs fielding and the possibility of bowling someone out but them getting another turn at bat because "that was a hard one"
These guys don't seem worthy of jims presence
baseball is rounders
I could watch one one those five day matches and still have no idea what's happening. I can deal with soccer, but cricket as a whole other trip.
Man, Opies voice...
🙂🔫
Someone needs to Nopie this clip.
Doesnt everyone have to pitch or is that wrong?
You'll usually have 5 out of your 11 be bowlers, although there's no limit.

Other players will be specialist batsmen (batters) and 1 wicket keeper (the guy behind the stumps with the gloves on).
Opie was trying way too hard to work the bit. Also he bombed hard with the ball of the century thing. No one in the studio cared.
'dont compare this to baseball my friend' baseball evolved from cricket so that's a fair comparison
I mean it's the worse version of 20/20 cricket and 20/20 cricket is the worst format
Cricket is love, cricket is life.
Is Opie the guy on whom they based "the Douche" in Parks and Rec?
Cricket is the more intelligent version of baseball.
from melbourne and watch some that aussie rules and here's one of many examples Punches Fly West Coast Vs Sydney Barry Hall Brent Staker
woeful ignorance pisses me off the most
Crickets way better than soccer I’ll give them that.
You're wasting your time explaining cricket, there Americans.
They're*. Learn some grammar if you're going to be arrogant.
This needs a visual aid.
WHY DOES OPIE EXIST
I remain mostly mystified, but its objectively not "retarded" or "mongoloid" baseball. Try and get a palsy kid to watch and understand it at all, much less for 8 hours straight.
Sachin Tendulkar greatest batsman of all time. Even Don Bradman agreed.
Of course he is going to say that, just like sachin would say it's don!
0zziefan
I heard that sackan guy retired cricket to pursue being a jockey
@@philmccracken179 Sackan guy? Go sit on some stumps without the bails.
That was a good one. But seriously is he doing well as a jockey? I don’t follow horse racing
What?
Man i've been trying to find this clip for ages. You are wonderful as always Stevie Knight. As an Australian and knowing your a pom, 5-0 bitch.
as an Englishman its my duty to ask Why do you call us POMs when your lot are the prisoners and still have our shitty royal family too?
We stopped being prisoners when we left your frozen island
Listening to Opie just makes me want to punch a baby. "Why is that" "What do you meannnn" "What do you mean round" "What do you mean behind him" ... what a shock jock
Jim would never have been on da show hadn’t Opie allowed it so say what you want but Ant wasn’t deciding who was a guest or not
"why don't they wear gloves" "because we are men".... maybe if they did have gloves the games wouldn't take 5 days?
Better answer. Big gloves for small balls
How big of a glove do you need for a cricket ball?
Americans 🙄🙄🙄
Opie is so lost.. it should have bee.n the anthony and opie show... or just the anthony show..
