You mis-stated the playoff structure which was why I was so confused. It's not first and fourth initially. It's 1st and 2nd playing a win and advance to finals game. Then the 3rd and 4th play an elimination game. Winner of that plays loser of the 1st v 2nd. The winner of that game advances to the finals. It would be really weird if 4th place could go straight to the finals with a win.
That makes more sense than the 4 seed getting an extra game over the 2 and 3 seed. Otherwise, if you didn't wrap up 1, you'd just tank to 4 for the insurance.
Oh man that makes me feel better I was about to go on a tirade about how it seems like cricket just tries to confuse people with the rules Granted that I could understand cricket rules if I really was into it But the playoff thing I was just like “yeah I don’t care Sure 4th seed goes to the championship right away Why not”
@@hunterwyeth Depends on the situation, it will often happen when your team is desperate for a run, or you sacrifice yourself when the batter in form is in danger of getting run out instead. Pretty embarrassing though if you get done on a genuine mix up or something stupid.
Platinum Duck is getting out on the first ball of an innings and you can get a Titanium Duck which is getting out on the first ball of an innings but being the non-striker
Genuinely because of your content, not only did you reawaken my baseball love, my daughter now loves sports, all sports, especially womens cricket league, and when i send you a clip of her in 15 years, i cant wait for you to do her breakdown 🙌🏼
Two fun facts: 1. Moises Henriques is the Sixers’ captain, so it was a real leading-from-the-front performance. 2. Perth Scorchers had won 17 of their last 18 home games before this.
I was at this game - awesome atmosphere, bit of an anticlimax for the home fans but you can't ever be mad about a last ball thriller, regardless of which way it goes. Great match, cheers for the breakdown!
At the SCG for the Pakistan test earlier this month I (and American) had to explain to my friend (an Australian) why the "square leg" umpire sometimes had to stand at "point" (off-side), due to the presence of a view-obstructing short leg fielder. I am still feeling smug about that.
@@mariolucero so that is done when a left handed batter if facing...the umpire remains at the square leg position all the time. Conventional positions are reversed for the leftie
@@flamingfrancis No -- We're all familiar with the left/right switch. I'm talking about when they stand specifically at point (for left or right handed) because the view is obstructed by short leg.
Moises Henriques - dont forget that he is the captain of the Washington Freedom in the Major League Cricket. Top player, seriously underrated when he was in his prime.

Very exciting finish! Two years ago I bought "Cricket 22", kind of like Madden or MLB The Show for cricket. I bought it to learn the sport (I'm American). I play as the Sixers in BBL and Henriques is money. I score a lot of boundaries with him and James Vince.
That's how as a rugby fan I learned NFL. Roommate had it on Xbox so one day I just sat down and tried to work it out. Made so much more sense after an hour or two.

Good move man. But be quick, those Ind v Pak tickets will sell out online within 20 minutes. Huge number of Indian tourists making their way to NY apparently. Netherlands v South Africa or USA v India in NY will be pretty cool. I dunno how to get to Nassau County though. Jamaica Center-Parsons subway station is as far out as I know.
Actually, if you've got any Eye-riush heritage maybe India v Ireland on the 5th or Canada v Ireland on the 7th of June. Tons of Irish will fly over to NYC for this event and they are so much fun to be in the cricket stadium with. You might even meet their famous fan Larry Leprechaun.
So good seeing Sean Abbott still playing (he was the last batter in that wasn't on strike). For those that don't know he is a bowler/pitcher and at the start of his pro career he accidentally killed his mate and international rising star Phil Hughes with a ball to the neck. Total freak accident and pleased to see he managed to get back to playing pro.
Just a small note, the most important part of the wicket is the bails (the two small sticks on top of them) when theres a super close run out your looking for when the bails come of in relation to where the batter is to determine if he's safe
It helps that Jomboy lived in Australia for a bit. But it’s gotten some attention here in the states. Especially where i live where there’s a big population of indian immigrants that play it in parks.

Scorchers and Sixers have a history of close finishes, especially in finals. One of the best finals ever (apart from Perth's win last year!) was Scorchers beating the Sixers on the last ball in 2015 in Canberra. Absolute scenes! And these are by far the two most successful teams in the BBL. 2 of Sydney Sixers 3 championships were by defeating Perth Scorchers, and 3 of Perth's 5 championships were by defeating Sydney Sixers.
It used to be said that explaining cricket to Americans was like explaining colours to blind people. No disparagement. I could totally understand why it was such a confusing game to an outsider. I'm so impressed how much you understand about the game. Considering you've never lived in a cricket playing nation. Love your videos. It's making us look at the game in a whole new light
@@KissellMissile I knew nothing about cricket before moving to the UK. Now its one of my favourite sports and I try to go to games whenever Im there in the summer months
@@KissellMissile good on you. My Brazilian ex worked out the basics when she watched some YT videos. Been a fan most of my life and I still couldn't tell you a third of the fielding positions. When I filled in for my mates beer league team the Skipper told me to field at some position and I just said "mate point in the direction you want me to field at and tell me when to stop walking"
@@ben2976he said "the strikers in pink need 17..." That is not a place where batter would have been appropriate. Striker would refer only to the facing batsman (the batsman "on strike" ) -- so in context here, he was talking about the team as a whole, which as is corrected elsewhere is the Sydney Sixers, rather than the Adelaide Strikers. In other usages it is clear that this is a mixup....
@Jomboy Big news mate, today in Australia in test match... the West Indies are touring and a new young West Indian bowler Shamar Joseph got 5 wickets on debut.
Kerr being run out was the stupidest thing I'd seen. They didn't need to run at all, because by doing so it meant Henriques wasn't facing at the start of the next over. Absolute brain fade. They got there in the end but if they'd lost, that would have been why.
You will find the complete LAWS of the game at several elite cricket bodies' sites especially the body that writes / controls those Laws, the MCC or Marylebone Cricket Club, the originators based at Thomas Lord's ground in London. There are RULES for specific tournaments that are conducted under the auspices of the ICC. You will also find videos explaining grass roots / junior cricket on several sites. Approved coaching manuals are also helpful.s a log time administrator / coach etc. I suggest starting out on the bottom rung of the ladder.
When the wicket keeper throws the ball back in to the stumps after the ball passes them, like the one out in this video, that's "stumped out" not "bowled out". Bowled out is only when the ball goes directly into the wicket from the bowler.
Actually that's a run out since he was trying to run, not a stumping. But he said bowled because the keeper bowled it (not in the cricket sense but in the tenpin bowling sense - he was clearly using a tenpin bowling analogy).
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 that makes more sense. I couldn't tell from the clip shown here - he didn't seem to be trying to run, just a bad awareness moment. But if he was, then yeah...
Batter would be "stumped" if no part of the foot was placed behind the batting crease and the keeper took the bowled ball cleanly and removed the bails.In this instance it is run out.
The runouts here really weren't dumb. You have outs to spare, but you're running low on balls, so there's no real downside to running unless the good batter might be out.
Ok I've been watching cricket, specifically T20 because it's shorter and more comprehensible to me comapred to test, but one thing I don'y understand is the importance of wickets. I know a wicket = an out in baseball terms, but why is it important in T20? The whole point of T20 is that you are limited to 20 overs, so theoretically a wicket has the same affect as a dot ball, except you get the runner out, which I can see as important only if the runnner/batter is really good. Does anybody else have a reason for why it is so important?
Yeah man. A wicket or better still two wickets very quickly tends to make a batting team go into their shell and become less willing to play big or risky shots, especially the top six in the batting order who are the best batters each capable of scoring a 100 or at least a 50 - then the dots build up. Batting teams get real nervous when they lose too many wickets because when the 6th out occurs it's only bowlers left to bat and often they can't bat much at all. On rare occasions when a team bats real badly they do get all out (10 outs). But you are right dot balls are also crucial. I'm only new-ish to cricket myself but I'm starting to get it sussed. A life long cricket fan might give a better explanation. But yeah learning cricket has been rewarding. The more I watch the more I see similarities with baseball. I'm even gonna watch the BBL final today.
Ahhh the Sydney Sixers didn't bat out their full 20 overs in the BBL final last night. 10 wickets out for 116...never got close to chasing the Brisbane score of 166 in the first innings.
thank you for continuing the lord's work of piquing my american interest in cricket. it's a weird set up though. the 4th seed is guaranteed 2 chances at the final while the 2/3 seeds have a sudden death? wouldn't teams try for the 4 spot over the 2 or 3 spots? has anyone ever tried to lose to get that 4th seed? seems like it should be 1 vs 2 in the qualifier. then the loser gets a chance at redemption in the final if they can beat the winner of the 3/4. please help my american brain understand the logic of this
Nah.....Jimmy got it wrong. 1st plays 2nd and the winner goes through to the final, the loser plays the winner of 3rd v 4th....so this game was for second place and a double chance. Now the Perth Scorchers finish 3rd and only have one chance albeit at home on Saturday. So your assessment is correct.
Jimmy: Scorchers had a pretty big innings...but the Sixers have a better run rate and only 2 wickets gone until the one we just saw. Some of you didn't get any of that. It makes sense. You can figure it out. Also Jimmy: We can't figure out how the scoring of the final round of Guts works (i.e., 1st gets +350, 2nd gets +175, 3rd gets +0). People in the comments keep trying to explain it and it's a lost cause. It's too hard.
Wow...I am amazed that the Inglis run out of Dwarshuis did not get comments reminding us of the same incident that happened at Lord's last year. The Siixers would go on and defeat Brisbane Heat to immediately qualify for the Final at the now sold out SCG while the Scorchers lost their qualifying game to the Adelaide Strikers. Strikers lost to Heat last night so advance to tomorrow night's big one at the historic SCG
There's a big difference: Dwarshius was actually looking to take a run because he was desperate to get Henriques on strike. Henriques quickly said NO but because Dwarshius had taken a couple of strides you must conclude he was attempting to run, which makes a big difference.
Still pronounced the same my friend. I lived in Brazil and Argentina. Trust me, it is en-reek-es. It's certainly not en-reeks as pronounced by the Australian commentators although they can say his name as they like in their own country I guess. @@1313tennisman
It's subjective. As a cricket fan I didn't at all enjoy baseball because I had never been exposed to it or knew the scoring and rules. Once I got a basic grasp I can appreciate good plays and highlights.
You need to learn both games thoroughly when making that comment. Also ask yourself why it is that so many skills and techniques have been adopted over to cricket. Much of what you see here, fielding wise and bowler's grips, has crossed over from baseball. Batting is a totally different scenario.
Let's not forget that America was playing cricket in the 1700's.......they played the first ever international match v Canada in 1844 and up until WWI produced some of the world's greatest players including the legendary J Bart King. In a way cricket is America's game...even George Washington played cricket. It's a timely return to the big time at long last.
@cricketexplained8526 Ok, I'm gonna call it now. The golden period of USA cricket 1770-1914 and with Minor League Cricket, Major League Cricket, A world ranking of 23, a world cup in America and ball in play/warehouse cricket booming let's add 2023-2024 and beyond as well. Hopefully the second coming has arrived. Cricket will never be a top 4 sport in the USA but with a pop of 340 million it probably doesn't need to be. Afterall New Zealand only has 5 million people and they do damn well.
That game referred to in 1844 was technically NOT an International per today's standards. Yes the Caanadian team was a selection of nationals but the USA team was from a Club in Philadelphia so technically not a national selection of representatives. Details can be found with a search
@@ben2976 A number of the early pre MLB players were English as the sport was played at a high standard in England. There is / was also a famous Football field near Derby named the Baseball Ground, home of Derby County. Look up the IBAF World Baseball Cup played from 1938 and you will find the original winners / holders were England. Australia has also beeen a long established baseball nation having produced an elite player before the MLB days (from 1903). Cricket and Association Football largely went into nations where the English were busy building railways.
Question from someone who only understands cricket rules from Jomboy's breakdowns. It sounds like the sixers had a certain number of balls left to face. They had folks come up to bat and get out relatively quickly. When they got out it didn't seem to change how many balls they had left to face. What is the advantage of getting those individuals out if it doesn't impact how many opportunities the team as a whole has left? I know I am missing something, just not sure what.
A couple of things: The ball that got them out counts as one of the balls they had left to face. Also, the last few batters are usually in the team for their bowling so are not as good at batting. So once you get past about 6 or 7 batters out, the batting ability usually starts to decline. It usually takes a new batter a few balls to get used to conditions and find their feet, so often a new batter doesn't score as quickly off their first couple of deliveries and then starts scoring runs faster when they're used to conditions, the pace of the pitch and bowlers etcetera. Also, once 10 batters are out, that's the end of the innings.
They seem to sponsor anything cricket related in Australia for some reason. Have done for decades. There used to be thousands of people wearing KFC buckets on their heads in the crowd as some kind of cash prize promotion.
Haha...fair call but consider this. Major League Cricket was shown in dozens and dozens of countries all around the world. We are talking 100's of millions of viewers, if not a billion or more, because cricket is a massive sport in some of the world's biggest population areas. So it's not just the fans inside the ground in Texas or North Carolina or where ever who see the logo. So advertisers get a big bang for their buck including KFC which has stores nearly everywhere including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. The reach is enormous. KFC is one of, if not the most famous American food franchise and it's time they supported American cricket and American tournaments. Not only would it help cricket in the USA but it's a free plug on televisions in 100 plus other countries. The 2024 cricket world cup in NYC/Texas and Florida is nearly upon us and it's time KFC US department figured out how this works. Clearly KFC Australia dept already has.@@bostonterrierfanatic9652
It doesn't. He corrected himself immediately after. #3 and #4 play in a qualifier to get to the Challenger (aka, semifinal). #1 and #2 play in the first round for the right to go straight to the Final. The loser than plays the winner of the #3/#4 game in the Challenger. Aussie Rules Football does the same playoffstructure, except with 8 team. I love it.
Hey Jimmy, for Dwarshuis wicket you said he was bowled out when he was actually run out/ arguably stumped? I know it was just a slip of the tongue and I think most of your followers know the difference by now but just for anyone new who might not know better. Dwarshuis wasn't bowled, he was run out
Like many of you, I don't know what the hell is going on in the sport. I thought to myself, "Well, I can at least find out why they call themselves the Sixers." All of the sources I can find for the origin of the name state "The names Sixers (and Thunder for cross-city rivals) were decided upon by Cricket NSW." There's no other explanation given for that choice of name. It turns out they don't know what the hell is going on either.
@@RCinginSC It really isn't as different to baseball as it seems, and is actually less complex in the moment-to-moment play. No keeping track of balls and strikes, or different numbers of runners affecting fielding decisions, nothing equivalent to the infield fly rule. "Baseball but there's only 2 bases, no balls, no swinging strikes, but you only get 1 strike and the zone is the wickets" is a start.
@@RCinginSC Jombody has done a video breaking down a cricket match and comparing it to baseball. If you want to understand what is happening I would suggest watching that.
You got the explanation of the Qualifier/Knockout wrong. First and Second place from group phase play Qualifier, winner goes to Final and loser goes to Challenger. Third and fourth place play in Knockout, loser is eliminated and winner goes to Challenger. So winner of this game is to get into the Qualifier and potentially have to win one less game to get to the final.
Yes but if you've watched ball in play/Warehouse cricket created by Jimmy himself, which I recommend, the commentators often refer to the batters as strikers.
The Strikers are another team in the BBL. It's clear that he said the wrong team. Striker however is the name for the batter facing the ball. Facing the ball is said to be "on strike". The batter at the other end is called the non-striker. @@ben2976
dude please help find an Australian rules football team. I'm looking to find "My Team". I'd love to watch some and get you interested in the AFL. Great sport, I think you'd love.
The batter facing the ball (on the plate?) is called the batter on strike. There is a team in the same league called the Adelaide Strikers but they weren't in this match, Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers were playing.
He didn't explain it properly as some other comments have said its 1st vs 2nd winner goes into final, 3rd vs 4th is an elimination, and winner vs the loser of 1st vs 2nd. Probably didnt explain it that well but if you look at the first comment it explains in more detail.
You mis-stated the playoff structure which was why I was so confused. It's not first and fourth initially. It's 1st and 2nd playing a win and advance to finals game. Then the 3rd and 4th play an elimination game. Winner of that plays loser of the 1st v 2nd. The winner of that game advances to the finals.

I was trying to figure out a way to make that make sense in my head as stated in the video but your explanation actually makes sense.
Seems like Its a double elim format, with 3 and 4 sitting on 1 loss already.
Ya I had to replay it a couple of times to realize he said first and fourth but meant first and second seeds play each other
Oh man that makes me feel better I was about to go on a tirade about how it seems like cricket just tries to confuse people with the rules Granted that I could understand cricket rules if I really was into it But the playoff thing I was just like “yeah I don’t care Sure 4th seed goes to the championship right away Why not”
Fun fact. Getting out without scoring any runs is called a Duck. Getting out on the first ball you face, like Edwards did, is called a Golden Duck.
Getting out without facing a ball (so the non-striker getting run out) is a Diamond Duck!

He does it in BBL and he does it in Major League Cricket. What a player!
It used to be said that explaining cricket to Americans was like explaining colours to blind people. No disparagement. I could totally understand why it was such a confusing game to an outsider.
I'm so impressed how much you understand about the game. Considering you've never lived in a cricket playing nation.
Love your videos. It's making us look at the game in a whole new light
He lived Australia for years
I learned it on my own as an American. It's not that hard in general, although the fielding strategy and terminology is tough to groc.
@@KissellMissile I knew nothing about cricket before moving to the UK. Now its one of my favourite sports and I try to go to games whenever Im there in the summer months
@@KissellMissile good on you. My Brazilian ex worked out the basics when she watched some YT videos. Been a fan most of my life and I still couldn't tell you a third of the fielding positions. When I filled in for my mates beer league team the Skipper told me to field at some position and I just said "mate point in the direction you want me to field at and tell me when to stop walking"
More sports should have light up goals. Imagine the back board and rim in a NBA game or the goal post in the NFL for every touchdown.
Yeah, it's a pretty cool feature.....maybe in future with improved tech, they could get home plate to light up briefly for a strike?
The NBA would have to distinguish between lighting for a score and lighting because time expired.
Great for the NFL and MLB, not so great for NBA. But I still agree that more sports should have light up goals.
It's been an awesome addition in cricket, completely shuts down any ambiguity for the umpires.
@stevebabiak6997 Thought seeing the rim glow orange after a shot would look cool, but I see your point.
Ah starting to understand!
Said Strikers several times instead of Sixers. We knew what you meant.
He meant the batter
No, he was clearly talking about the team name not referring to the batter on strike.@@ben2976
@@ben2976he said "the strikers in pink need 17..." That is not a place where batter would have been appropriate. Striker would refer only to the facing batsman (the batsman "on strike" ) -- so in context here, he was talking about the team as a whole, which as is corrected elsewhere is the Sydney Sixers, rather than the Adelaide Strikers. In other usages it is clear that this is a mixup....
Yeah fair call......Ok the great man made a rare error....a mere slip of the tongue....a typo I say....haha@@mariolucero
great vid jimmy.
@Jomboy
Big news mate, today in Australia in test match... the West Indies are touring and a new young West Indian bowler Shamar Joseph got 5 wickets on debut.
PLEASE do a breakdown of the Double Super Over in the Afghanistan-India T20 I match
I’m a lil tipsy and didn’t see the length of the vid, when John says like 40 seconds in I hope you enjoy(Ed) it I thought that was the end 😂
Huh, I almost kinda understood that. Cool.
Kerr being run out was the stupidest thing I'd seen. They didn't need to run at all, because by doing so it meant Henriques wasn't facing at the start of the next over. Absolute brain fade. They got there in the end but if they'd lost, that would have been why.
I love your commentary on cricket. I am trying to hard to understand what tf is happening, the rules.
Is there a cricket for dummies book?
Jomboy does a good video breaking it down in baseball terms. Once you understand the scoring and the basics you're 90% the way there.
check out "cricket explained for baseball fans"
You will find the complete LAWS of the game at several elite cricket bodies' sites especially the body that writes / controls those Laws, the MCC or Marylebone Cricket Club, the originators based at Thomas Lord's ground in London. There are RULES for specific tournaments that are conducted under the auspices of the ICC.
You will also find videos explaining grass roots / junior cricket on several sites. Approved coaching manuals are also helpful.s a log time administrator / coach etc. I suggest starting out on the bottom rung of the ladder.
Good stuff.
I'm glad the BBL is getting some attention in North America.
When the wicket keeper throws the ball back in to the stumps after the ball passes them, like the one out in this video, that's "stumped out" not "bowled out". Bowled out is only when the ball goes directly into the wicket from the bowler.
Actually that's a run out since he was trying to run, not a stumping. But he said bowled because the keeper bowled it (not in the cricket sense but in the tenpin bowling sense - he was clearly using a tenpin bowling analogy).
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 that makes more sense. I couldn't tell from the clip shown here - he didn't seem to be trying to run, just a bad awareness moment. But if he was, then yeah...
Batter would be "stumped" if no part of the foot was placed behind the batting crease and the keeper took the bowled ball cleanly and removed the bails.In this instance it is run out.
Tkzz for sharing.,.,.,peace
The runouts here really weren't dumb. You have outs to spare, but you're running low on balls, so there's no real downside to running unless the good batter might be out.
Great stuff Jomboy. Isn’t it nice to see, and appreciate, sports outside the big4 in the US?
Ok I've been watching cricket, specifically T20 because it's shorter and more comprehensible to me comapred to test, but one thing I don'y understand is the importance of wickets. I know a wicket = an out in baseball terms, but why is it important in T20? The whole point of T20 is that you are limited to 20 overs, so theoretically a wicket has the same affect as a dot ball, except you get the runner out, which I can see as important only if the runnner/batter is really good. Does anybody else have a reason for why it is so important?
Yeah man. A wicket or better still two wickets very quickly tends to make a batting team go into their shell and become less willing to play big or risky shots, especially the top six in the batting order who are the best batters each capable of scoring a 100 or at least a 50 - then the dots build up. Batting teams get real nervous when they lose too many wickets because when the 6th out occurs it's only bowlers left to bat and often they can't bat much at all. On rare occasions when a team bats real badly they do get all out (10 outs). But you are right dot balls are also crucial. I'm only new-ish to cricket myself but I'm starting to get it sussed. A life long cricket fan might give a better explanation. But yeah learning cricket has been rewarding. The more I watch the more I see similarities with baseball. I'm even gonna watch the BBL final today.
@@ben2976 thank you, that’s helpful!
Ahhh the Sydney Sixers didn't bat out their full 20 overs in the BBL final last night. 10 wickets out for 116...never got close to chasing the Brisbane score of 166 in the first innings.
Thank you@cricketexplained8526
More alternate universe baseball. Thank you.
We lost this game the second Hardie decided to bowl Morris in the power play. Poor captaincy, shame Ashton Turner got injured earlier in the season.
Got to do Finn Allen's innings for New Zealand tied the record for most 6's in an international innings
The ole Golden Duck
thank you for continuing the lord's work of piquing my american interest in cricket. it's a weird set up though. the 4th seed is guaranteed 2 chances at the final while the 2/3 seeds have a sudden death? wouldn't teams try for the 4 spot over the 2 or 3 spots? has anyone ever tried to lose to get that 4th seed?
seems like it should be 1 vs 2 in the qualifier. then the loser gets a chance at redemption in the final if they can beat the winner of the 3/4.
please help my american brain understand the logic of this
Nah.....Jimmy got it wrong. 1st plays 2nd and the winner goes through to the final, the loser plays the winner of 3rd v 4th....so this game was for second place and a double chance. Now the Perth Scorchers finish 3rd and only have one chance albeit at home on Saturday. So your assessment is correct.
You are 100% correct in how the system works.
If you pause frame at 1:15 the schedule for the finals series is broken down. The game here is for second and third positions.
Jimmy: Scorchers had a pretty big innings...but the Sixers have a better run rate and only 2 wickets gone until the one we just saw. Some of you didn't get any of that. It makes sense. You can figure it out.
Also Jimmy: We can't figure out how the scoring of the final round of Guts works (i.e., 1st gets +350, 2nd gets +175, 3rd gets +0). People in the comments keep trying to explain it and it's a lost cause. It's too hard.
Wow...I am amazed that the Inglis run out of Dwarshuis did not get comments reminding us of the same incident that happened at Lord's last year.
The Siixers would go on and defeat Brisbane Heat to immediately qualify for the Final at the now sold out SCG while the Scorchers lost their qualifying game to the Adelaide Strikers. Strikers lost to Heat last night so advance to tomorrow night's big one at the historic SCG
There's a big difference: Dwarshius was actually looking to take a run because he was desperate to get Henriques on strike. Henriques quickly said NO but because Dwarshius had taken a couple of strides you must conclude he was attempting to run, which makes a big difference.
Absolutely 100%@@amireallythatgrumpy6508
Just a quick thing, it’s pronounced like Moses Hen-reeks. Portugese, not Mexican.
That sounds like an Australian pronounciation. I need to say Enriques...haha...sorry....he wouldn't mind
@@ben2976 Its not australian. Its portuguese not spanish dude. Thats why its Henriques and not Henriquez
Still pronounced the same my friend. I lived in Brazil and Argentina. Trust me, it is en-reek-es. It's certainly not en-reeks as pronounced by the Australian commentators although they can say his name as they like in their own country I guess. @@1313tennisman
Actually I think we are agreeing
So much more entertaining than baseball
It's subjective. As a cricket fan I didn't at all enjoy baseball because I had never been exposed to it or knew the scoring and rules. Once I got a basic grasp I can appreciate good plays and highlights.
You need to learn both games thoroughly when making that comment. Also ask yourself why it is that so many skills and techniques have been adopted over to cricket. Much of what you see here, fielding wise and bowler's grips, has crossed over from baseball. Batting is a totally different scenario.
Let's not forget that America was playing cricket in the 1700's.......they played the first ever international match v Canada in 1844 and up until WWI produced some of the world's greatest players including the legendary J Bart King. In a way cricket is America's game...even George Washington played cricket. It's a timely return to the big time at long last.
@cricketexplained8526 Ok, I'm gonna call it now. The golden period of USA cricket 1770-1914 and with Minor League Cricket, Major League Cricket, A world ranking of 23, a world cup in America and ball in play/warehouse cricket booming let's add 2023-2024 and beyond as well. Hopefully the second coming has arrived. Cricket will never be a top 4 sport in the USA but with a pop of 340 million it probably doesn't need to be. Afterall New Zealand only has 5 million people and they do damn well.
That game referred to in 1844 was technically NOT an International per today's standards. Yes the Caanadian team was a selection of nationals but the USA team was from a Club in Philadelphia so technically not a national selection of representatives. Details can be found with a search
@@ben2976 A number of the early pre MLB players were English as the sport was played at a high standard in England. There is / was also a famous Football field near Derby named the Baseball Ground, home of Derby County.
Look up the IBAF World Baseball Cup played from 1938 and you will find the original winners / holders were England. Australia has also beeen a long established baseball nation having produced an elite player before the MLB days (from 1903).
Cricket and Association Football largely went into nations where the English were busy building railways.
The wicket!!! 😂
Question from someone who only understands cricket rules from Jomboy's breakdowns. It sounds like the sixers had a certain number of balls left to face. They had folks come up to bat and get out relatively quickly. When they got out it didn't seem to change how many balls they had left to face. What is the advantage of getting those individuals out if it doesn't impact how many opportunities the team as a whole has left? I know I am missing something, just not sure what.
A couple of things: The ball that got them out counts as one of the balls they had left to face.
Also, the last few batters are usually in the team for their bowling so are not as good at batting. So once you get past about 6 or 7 batters out, the batting ability usually starts to decline.
It usually takes a new batter a few balls to get used to conditions and find their feet, so often a new batter doesn't score as quickly off their first couple of deliveries and then starts scoring runs faster when they're used to conditions, the pace of the pitch and bowlers etcetera.
Also, once 10 batters are out, that's the end of the innings.
Sixers win Jomboy! #UpTheMagenta
I like how this was all sponsored by KFC 😂
They seem to sponsor anything cricket related in Australia for some reason. Have done for decades. There used to be thousands of people wearing KFC buckets on their heads in the crowd as some kind of cash prize promotion.
And in NZ too! You'd think USA Cricket could do a deal with KFC seeing as they seem to be supporters of the sport and are an American brand.
@@ben2976 they’d make a whopping $5 off that investment 🤣
Haha...fair call but consider this. Major League Cricket was shown in dozens and dozens of countries all around the world. We are talking 100's of millions of viewers, if not a billion or more, because cricket is a massive sport in some of the world's biggest population areas. So it's not just the fans inside the ground in Texas or North Carolina or where ever who see the logo. So advertisers get a big bang for their buck including KFC which has stores nearly everywhere including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. The reach is enormous. KFC is one of, if not the most famous American food franchise and it's time they supported American cricket and American tournaments. Not only would it help cricket in the USA but it's a free plug on televisions in 100 plus other countries. The 2024 cricket world cup in NYC/Texas and Florida is nearly upon us and it's time KFC US department figured out how this works. Clearly KFC Australia dept already has.@@bostonterrierfanatic9652
ALGORITHM
Out for 0 runs is called "out for a duck". Out for 0 runs on your first ball is called a "Golden Duck" FYI ;)
you guys gotta do India v afghanistan double super over!
Seems odd that 4th place has advantage over 3rd place in standings but its an interesting playoff format.
It doesn't. He corrected himself immediately after. #3 and #4 play in a qualifier to get to the Challenger (aka, semifinal).
#1 and #2 play in the first round for the right to go straight to the Final. The loser than plays the winner of the #3/#4 game in the Challenger.
Aussie Rules Football does the same playoffstructure, except with 8 team. I love it.
Hey Jimmy, for Dwarshuis wicket you said he was bowled out when he was actually run out/ arguably stumped? I know it was just a slip of the tongue and I think most of your followers know the difference by now but just for anyone new who might not know better. Dwarshuis wasn't bowled, he was run out
The keeper bowled it in a tenpin bowling sense. He was obviously comparing the way he hit the wickets to getting a strike in tenpin.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 I'm aware but its pretty confusing in a cricket video where he already code switches between American and British.
Like many of you, I don't know what the hell is going on in the sport. I thought to myself, "Well, I can at least find out why they call themselves the Sixers." All of the sources I can find for the origin of the name state "The names Sixers (and Thunder for cross-city rivals) were decided upon by Cricket NSW." There's no other explanation given for that choice of name. It turns out they don't know what the hell is going on either.
I'm in the same camp.
The cricket equivalent of a home run is hitting it for six. They hit sixes (or try to). The sixers.
@@L1ama We're finally getting somewhere. I now know 1 thing about cricket.
@@RCinginSC It really isn't as different to baseball as it seems, and is actually less complex in the moment-to-moment play. No keeping track of balls and strikes, or different numbers of runners affecting fielding decisions, nothing equivalent to the infield fly rule. "Baseball but there's only 2 bases, no balls, no swinging strikes, but you only get 1 strike and the zone is the wickets" is a start.
@@RCinginSC Jombody has done a video breaking down a cricket match and comparing it to baseball. If you want to understand what is happening I would suggest watching that.
You got the explanation of the Qualifier/Knockout wrong. First and Second place from group phase play Qualifier, winner goes to Final and loser goes to Challenger. Third and fourth place play in Knockout, loser is eliminated and winner goes to Challenger. So winner of this game is to get into the Qualifier and potentially have to win one less game to get to the final.
Watch psl season 9 final match, that was amazing match
"The Strikers in pink"
No sir, Strikers wear blue.
Yes but if you've watched ball in play/Warehouse cricket created by Jimmy himself, which I recommend, the commentators often refer to the batters as strikers.
The Strikers are another team in the BBL. It's clear that he said the wrong team.
Striker however is the name for the batter facing the ball. Facing the ball is said to be "on strike". The batter at the other end is called the non-striker. @@ben2976
Strikers? Or, Sixers? Otherwise a great breakdown!
He meant both. The batters are called strikers, and these strikers are Sixers.
But they're not the Adelaide Strikers...@@chebydaybor
The Strikers in pink? How are you gonna do the Strikers like that haha
I reckon he should call them the Stinkers to remove all confusion.
Where his the best of 2023 video ?😅
Strikers
Sixers not strikers
*Sixers, not Strikers
Makes me sad, Scorchers should have done better and won this
🦗 is 😴
Where was the Sixers breakdown
this video is it
Did he keep pronouncing Sixers as "strikers"?
dude please help find an Australian rules football team. I'm looking to find "My Team". I'd love to watch some and get you interested in the AFL. Great sport, I think you'd love.
Spent half the video trying to figure out who the Strikers are...
The batter facing the ball (on the plate?) is called the batter on strike. There is a team in the same league called the Adelaide Strikers but they weren't in this match, Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers were playing.
Odd way to do the playoffs, but I like it.
He didn't explain it properly as some other comments have said its 1st vs 2nd winner goes into final, 3rd vs 4th is an elimination, and winner vs the loser of 1st vs 2nd. Probably didnt explain it that well but if you look at the first comment it explains in more detail.
@@PublicPrankster13 Also look at chart at 1:15
Crap last ball from the bowler.
After all the cricket I watch with Jomboy I still cant figure out how its play.
jimmy has a video specifically for that and there are other great videos out there as well. Its not that hard to figure out
Haha
