Watching this after the US just beat Pakistan
Yes
WE OUT HERE BABY!
Same. Suddenly subscribed to Willow TV and watching cricket non-stop 😅. Why isn't this sport more popular in the US? Its great!
time to become a fan
Nah man they were going WAYYYYY to easy. USA was underestimated.
... I've just learned more about cricket in last 4 minutes than I have in the 30 years I've been alive. Thanks!
+Matt Smith (adraedin) Cool, thanks Matt! I'm glad this video helped you understand Cricket a little more! Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

That was an epic game for sure.
🤣🤣🤣👌👌
confusing times
😂 BEST COMMENT OF 2019 😂
Hahaha ! You are funny
I just spent 1.5 hours reading Cricket rules and definitions before I stumbled upon this perfect video that provided the same information in 4 minutes. LOL Nice vid! Thanks!
Thanks Greg. I try and make all my videos easy to understand. Be sure to check out some of my others for more like this.
yeah the wikipedia article is kinda shit
Those are called Laws, not Rules.
Greg, reading the rules regarding a game, any game, is something overrated IMO. Watching the game and videos like this are the best way to get it.
I have trouble with the understanding of cricket. I became more curious about the sport after seeing the mayhem on the internet about the 2019 world cup final. In my homecountry (Brazil), I only saw one youtuber talking about cricket and it was because he could talk about anything you ask him (his nickname is the book), and I saw a video he made talking about the Indian Super League and how this is something every fan of alternative sports (for us brazilians) should follow. Hell man, cricket here can be defined as afterthought in streaming, with broadcasts only in english.
But I'm trying. I hope I can get it someday
Holy cow, it's not nearly as complicated as I always believed! Or maybe nobody just explained it well before.
Nobody explained it well
the reason no one knows the rules is cus cricket sucks lol. the people that play in the fields near me are dirt bags who shit in the bushes, and leave garbage everywhere.. shitty sport/people.
kemp yeah everyone knew baseball sucks, it has nothing hot the ball and run, where cricket you need to plan, to save wickets, the baseball is full toss no swing, where cricket has, inswing, outswing, Yorker, bouncer and also full toss, ball, also spin(offspin, legspin, dusura, googly)
@@Arjun32569 the fuk u talkin bout?? baseball is 100x better than cricket bitch.
@@Arjun32569 hot the ball? you mean HIT the ball ganesh. fuck cricket
This vid is about to have a huge American influx lol
Anyone here after the US won
Yup😂
Yes 😂

+assassin8or Ah, you noticed that huh? I guess it's one of the 'fun' aspects of Cricket. Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Ninh Ly for caught out and stumped out people normally just say caught and stumped and a team can declare we're if they have a lot of runs the captain calls the batters in then bowl if the other team scores less than a certain amount the team that batted first can send the other team back in straight away but if the team gets enough runs to win the game ends because the team gave up there 2 innings ps i know this because I play cricket
assassin8or you are weird
assassin8or gfj
But if you get hit in the crowd or break your hand trying to catch the ball than you get to be on TV 😁🤩
American here after we beat Pakistan
With mad Pakistanians on your team
At first, I did not understand cricket, because I'd never seen a game or played it. Then, I read a guide online that explained all the rules of cricket, and I understood cricket even less. After watching this video, I kind of somewhat understand cricket. So...my understanding of cricket skyrocketed after watching this.
Thanks Daniel! Please share and subscribe :)
If u Ever come to India ....Come when there's IPL going On ...Go to a Stadium
..u will Absolutely Love it here !
@@Sebastian_1177 bro that's 200 runs and 10 wickets of the same team not the other's team score. Plz do check some IPL matches they are very exciting. And last Year's world cup final ,one of the best match in history ,both team made the same score twice.
@@Sebastian_1177 btw where are u from?😇
@sebastian cricket is not a boring sport. It is one of the most nail-biting sports you'll ever. You seems like a man interested in exploring sports.Just watch a ipl or BBL highlight keeping the eye on the scoreboard, you'll love it
I am a 14 year old Brazilian teen. Cricket is not popular here, but I want to make it a popular sport in my homeland! 🇧🇷🏏
Me too! I am 14 years old from Myanmar and has started to love Cricket
Well Cricket is popular in Guyana.
Hey brother, Brazil and Myanmar both do have cricket team. Brazil women's team is doing wonders right now . They are on verge of qualifying for women's T20 world cup . Myanmar recently participated in Asia challengers cup .
❤❤❤❤🫡🌟
Dang. What a cool protagonist
Anyone else trying to understand cricket after USA just pulled off a overtime win vs Pakistan?
Yep
lmaooo this is hilarious for how true it is
I'm surprised there's not more new comments
This and for betting lol
I’m still so confused by half the rules of it
Cricket came home atlast after football and rugby 🏴
Certainly did.
Hmm New Zealand won tbh 😝
won by number of boundaries not runs...lol
Yeah it came home but it is a shame half of English people who were watching cricket world cup final do even the rules of cricket it a national shame for England
Cheatercocks!
As an American with a Latino father, I grew up with baseball. It always seemed simple. Until I thought about explaining it to someone who hadn't known the game all their lives. Cricket has always been a mystery, and seemed like a similarly confusing proposition for someone to explain. But you broke it down in a way even I could understand. Great job.
+Jim Rodriguez Cool, thanks Jim - I'm glad you found this video useful. Cricket isn't nearly as complicated as they think it is, and once you see a few T20 games, the rules will become clear. But don't make the mistake in thinking that it's a different version of baseball: it's not! Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Come to India you learn it yourself.
@@NinhLyUK but cricket is the older cousin to the beautiful game of baseball. I would love to try cricket someday
@Warren552011 that's awesome!
I've had this thought many times about baseball. To an outsider it must seem like a truly bizarre game.
very well simplified
Thank you brother, much appreciated!
But the main thing is that u understood??
@@khalidmahmood858 There's nothing much to understand I guess, it's just typical rules of a sport, not some complex science.
@@Rikka_V1 lol bro it's a very Underrated sport right??
@@khalidmahmood858 It's actually a very well known sport, but the participation critically low compared to it's counterparts as rugby,baseball and football.
The fact that there's a 5 day format pretty much scares away anyone who who wishes to compete in cricket lol.
This was great, thank you explaining so simply. I'm watching this old Indian movie where the Indian citizens essentially won't have to pay taxes for three years if they beat the Englishmen at cricket.

As a young man, I Always thought Cricket was a boring game mainly because of its reputation. Having played American Baseball and being a life long fan, I have recently been watching Cricket matches and frustrated by not knowing the rules. This video was exactly what I needed. With this basic understanding of rules, I can begin to learn the strategies of the game. It increases my desire to watch more Cricket matches. Thank you.
Thanks Ken, much appreciated.
A lot of Americans make the mistake of watching it and trying to compare it to Baseball.
Once you realise that it isn't, it becomes a lot easier to grasp. And the strategy that goes with it.

I didn’t think cricket could be so exciting until I watched this years IPL final. I arbitrarily decided to support MI for the game and found myself getting giddy with anticipation during that last over. Great stuff.
Cool, glad you found this video helpful and that you've found a new sport to cheer for!

Hope you watched the 2019 world cup final
You should watch 2011 world cup final
u should watch the 2022 and 2023 ipl final
Thanks, Ninh! I've made some Indian friends recently who love this game, so this video has helped me understand cricket better.
Anytime Jason! I'm glad this video helps.
To further cement the rules, search for Indian Premier League highlights and it'll pretty much make everything in this video make sense.
Cheers :)

It's a very interesting sport dude,watch ipl once you'll be forever cricket lover
So easy video to understand it has explained everything so well and the only thing I could not understand was about getting stumped out now I understand. Cricket is way better than football because I am stoke fan but lost interest in football now and stoke have dropped into the championship they were in the premier league they have turned so rubbish now that’s why I don’t bother with football just a bunch of guys running round a pitch and getting paid ridiculous money but as I said great video.👍🏻😃💯💯💯
Thanks Tyler, much appreciated. Glad this video helps you understand Cricket.
As for Stoke, well, can't really say much about that!
Ask me more if u wanna know more in detail ..there is so much more to know..
These are some of the basic rules about cricket. It is not a very difficult sport to learn. There are a whole lot of rules than this. I'm American and I been following cricket for over 5 years and know a lot of cricket history. The only way people are going to learn about the sport is to watch it. If you watch a day of a test match, you should be able to get most of the rules. Beginners should watch T-20 first before moving on to other formats. The more often you watch the sport, the more you will learn including the field positions which will take time to learn. I like first class (Test and four day cricket) and limited overs (50 and 20 overs cricket). I've spoken to several people back home about cricket and they know what it is. I'm currently following the Ashes and expecting a big series between India and South Africa especially the 4 match test series which will occur near the end of the year. I learn most of the stuff by watching test matches.
Da Undaground Mane Hey brother, thanks for stopping by. Excellent advice for all those Cricketing newbies out there. The key point: is just start watching games. Like you said: most people will learn the majority of it just by watching a test match. Cheers :)
This game doesn’t have a lot of rules, it has LAWS :-)
What channels can you watch cricket on in the USA I can’t find any
Test is slow
ODI is fast
T20 is superfast
I hope you watch yesterday's cricket world cup final
Test Cricket is Best Cricket!
But yeah, a newbie should start from T20.
I always wanted to know how cricket worked pretty interesting...
Ok
Thank you very much. This was a clear explanation and demonstration of rules that I did not understand at all . I am an American who recently became interested in cricket because of PG Wodehouse and a movie called Warriors. That movie is amazing . It is about a team of Masai warriors who became excellent cricket players and made it to the finals in the Last Man Standing tournament at Lords in London .
Cool, thanks Carol. Glad you found this video useful.
A lot of American don't understand Cricket, but it's quite easy once it's explained simply.

Lagaan is also another similar type of movie.
Do you know of any source where we can watch this Warriors (2015) now? Can't find it on the usual places 🙏
Traveling in India now. Had to watch once and for all lol. Helpful. Thanks! 😎👌🇮🇳

I think going to Australia or England will be more good for playing cricket than in India
@@willsocietyacceptmecauseio1276 It's basically only Football in England. I have been there. I Stayed in Brighton and Birmingham for 6 months. I don't think Cricket is that popular that one would go there only to play cricket.
@@FCBLukas I know but peoples play cricket specialy in summer time
You should probably mention that the batsmen do not have to run. It's an important distinction from baseball.
Hi James.
No they don't really have to run especially with the 4's and 6's, I mentioned this at 0:52 of the video.
Thanks anyway!
Ninh Ly Sorry, I think you misunderstood. What I mean is that unlike in baseball if you hit it but feel you can't make a run you don't have to make the attempt.
James Burtton Oh yeah. That I did forget to mention. Thanks!
James Burtton
Nonetheless they do for no reason... 😂😂😂
watch...test cricket....and see ...the batsman is sitting or running or.....hitting 4s and 6s only?? go and tell me.....test....is,,,,vey difficult format in the game....baseball is nothg!!
Thank you. Very well explained. My husband always has the cricket on so I need some understanding for my own sanity.
+Hannah Sheridan Thanks Hannah, I appreciate the comments. I'm sure you got it from the video, but if not - there's plenty of T20 highlights on TH-cam, you can watch full highlights in less than 8 minutes. Hope that helps? Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

Cricket Russia banned
Hitting the ball into your partner's wickets is NOT automatically out and it is NOT counted as hit wicket.
The way it works is, if you hit the ball, and it hits someone on the fielding team, and then hits your partener's stumps WHILE he's out the crease, it gets given as a RUN out
+Warren552011 yeah that's out
I remember that game,it was zampa in bbl,it was also the melbourne derby I guess.
Agreed, that was a bad (and incorrect) example of hit wicket. That poor chap would only lose his wicket if an opposing player had touched the ball before hitting the stumps. And even in this case it would be a run-out, not a hit wicket. Example of hit wicket is when the batsman loses his balance while making their shot and falls onto the stumps, knocking them down.
Warren552011 yeah I remember zamps getting smashed in the face. What a champion though because he got back up and kept playing
What?
Here in the Kansas City, Missouri area (USA) there is a cricket league that seems to be gaining more and more traction. I haven't been to a match yet, but look forward to it. Especially now that I have a better understanding. Thank you, it was fast (and had to rewatch it) but has been the best explanation that anyone has given to me, again, thank you!
Any time! I'm glad this video helped. If you're struggling with the speed, you can play the video back slower using the playback buttons.
Snap! I live in the US and never knew that
watch a T20 cricket match.
Recently USA defeated Ireland (Full member team) in a t20 match. It's a very big achievement for USA. Congratulations

I've watched Cricket on and off over the years ...just started watching the international replay of the 1st ODI of international cricket between the powerhouses of New Zealand and Pakistan..I am hooked on learning the many dynamics of this game.

Cricket is like an essential thing of life for Indians 😂😂
As an American who grew up with baseball, this sport was always intriguing to me. Glad to finally understand the basics of it!
Crciket is not inticate as baseball its quite simple
@Zues R : Not really. Baseball is simple. Cricket has too much going on with it. The batter has three chances to score a run and a fourth if the pitcher throws the ball outside of the plate. Four balls is an automatic run to a base. Three strikes ( swing and miss or hits out of bounds is an out. You get three outs to an inning. You switch sides at every inning up to nine innings. The amount of scoring you can do depends on your pitcher and your hitters.
Baseball favors the runner, hitter and a good pitcher.
So, basically, a sport for hitters who never understood the idea of a strike zone :D

Hey Great Video! Just two corrections in Rule #6 at 2:04
1) Hit Wicket - is when the batter inadvertently hits his own stumps with the bat or any part of his body in the process of hitting the ball.
2)You CANNOT make your partner out by hitting the ball onto your partner’s stumps as you showed in the video. What happened in that particular clip was that the batter (the striker) hit the ball back towards the stumps at his partner’s (the non-striker) end and the bowler made contact with the ball before it went on to hit the stumps. As the non striker was out of his crease when the ball hit the stumps, he was given out and this form of dismissal would come under “RUN OUT” credited to the bowler and NOT the batter who struck the ball.
Shaurya Negi: Exactly. Although it's very simplified, a lot of this video will be helpful for people starting to get to know the game. But the part of the video about "Hit Wicket, Accidentally Out" is so completely wrong that you have to wonder what the video maker was thinking.
Hit Wicket has nothing to do with the stumps at the non-striker's end. Hit Wicket is the batter hitting their own stumps while playing the ball or setting off for a run immediately after playing the ball.
The ball being deflected onto the non-striker's stumps is a different law altogether and is a Run-Out. And it has to be deflected from someone, not just hit the stumps. There is no such law as accidentally out, and they are always called Laws, not Rules.
even tho i'm american and we don't play cricket that much, like some of us from other do play it a little, but not like in international thing it's not that popular from here, but i do want to play cricket it looks fun, and yes i did find this video helpful and i understand everything you said, really interesting.

You explained the sport well. I love cricket but am concerned for the sport. Test cricket is REAL cricket, I despise how we now have a T20 World Cup. T20 should not be taken too seriously. It will kill test cricket and tradition.
Connor Munday Yes it probably will. Test Cricket is real Cricket I agree, but the world is lacking in patience by the day. To appeal to the younger generation, they had to make the game shorter and T20 has done a pretty good job in bringing in new fans. Whether that translate to fans for Test Cricket remains to be seen, but unfortunately T20 isn't going away any time soon.
Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Dude, I'm only 19. I love test cricket. Must be because I'm Australian, and we take test cricket seriously.
Connor Munday Ah, so that's why the Aussies are better than the English at Test Cricket. I think the English take Test Cricket seriously too, with all the inter-county games that are played. But the Aussies development programme for most sports is far superior than anything we have over here, bar football.
Connor Munday T20 cricket has pretty much killed West Indian Test cricket and I daresay it will kill Indian Test cricket soon with the popularity of the IPL over Test series. Having said that, England is the only nation that really disregards limited overs cricket and I wouldn't say it's benefiting their Test side in any way. I reckon Australia has it about right in the balance between Test/Shield cricket and BBL. T20 is alright for light entertainment but I agree it shouldn't be taken seriously.

This looks like way more fun than regular American Baseball. I wanna go watch some Cricket now.

okay, I FINALLY get it. Thank you. I always thought cricket was like baseball, but really the only thing cricket has in common with baseball is that someone tries to hit a thrown ball with a stick. I'll try watching a few games now I know what's going on.
I saw an extremely funny cometary by an Englishman of American Football. It was clear that the "commentator" had no clue what was going on. I suggested they do another video with an American commentating cricket.
Hi Eric Taylor. Yes, a lot of Americans assume that Cricket is just like baseball and they're horribly confused when they find out that it's not. Once you break it down - it's actually quite a simple game to understand and not at all like Baseball.

You're welcome, I'm glad this video helps you out! :)
OH. MY. GOSH. I really feel like I understand cricket now!!!! Well, at least enough to not be completely lost while watching!
schradeya Cool, I'm glad this video helped you out! Cricket is actually an easy game, it just needs explaining properly. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Ninh Ly Yeah it does actually seem pretty simple! And I kept thinking, "Ohhh, that's where baseball gets that rule/word/whatever!" One huge difference between Cricket and American sports in general is that we like to artificially stop our games periodically (so we can play ads on TV), but Cricket lets things happen naturally. There is no way an at-bat in baseball could last longer than 7 pitches maximum; we either move the man off the field or on base if it goes further. And they often lst only one pitch! Therefore, innings, and to near extent, games, all last about the same predictable amount of time. But it looks like at-bats in Cricket can last aaaaages! I've always wondered how the matches can last so long, but now I know!
schradeya Especially in Test Cricket, it seems to take aaaaaages to actually play the damn game. But it's not so bad in T20 Cricket, as there's strict time penalties - they have to hurry it up!
Glad you managed to understand Cricket a little more. It's definitely not like Baseball!
Ninh Ly I'm so glad I found this video. You really have a knack for taking confusing things and putting them into words anybody can understand! I really, really want to sit down and watch a good match now!!! Maybe not a test match... ;) I don't have that kind of time!
Yeah, it's NOTHING like baseball!! Well, a _tiny tiny_ bit, in that there are a few words that baseball took from Cricket (I assume), and there is a ball that gets thrown, haha!
schradeya You'll find that Cricket and Baseball have shared origins. But that's about the only similarity you'll find.
I'd recommend watching a T20 game before you head on over to Test Cricket. That'll ease you in for the long long long long long time that a Cricket match is actually played.
Thanks again for the compliments! :)
dont know why i watched this considering I've understood the game for 10+ yrs and have been to two of the past three Boxing Day tests and will be going t the Ashes this year

This was very helpful, thank you. Just finished watching “the test” on Amazon about the Aussie team. Very cool docuseries.
Great, glad this video helps!
Now baby indians again defeated them (in one of the my most DRAMATIC series ever).
So, season 2 might be on its way...
So basically baseball is a form of cricket? I always assumed baseball had its roots in it.
Kind of. But Baseball is based from the games of British Baseball and Rounders more than Cricket.
Although baseball does use Cricket terminology (like innings, outs etc.)
@@NinhLyUK i recall reading somewhere that rounders and british baseball sort of branched off from the roots of cricket
As an American I think we need some cricket. Gridiron football is getting old for me, cricket would be just what we need to improve sports in the US.
Cesar S. Castillo I think Cricket has been tried (and failed) in the US already.
The country as a whole needs to start kids playing Cricket instead of baseball if that sport is to succeed in the USA. I think if Twenty20 cricket was played - it might just work.

As a cricket lover i can say that cricket need more mental than physical energy. Patience and reading the mind of the opposition is the winner. MS Dhoni from India is the best living example of how cool and mind reading can win the game
An Indian here who watched this video long back about 4 years ago and Ninh was bang on about making it very simple to understand for others. I have been doing research in the US for the last one year and let me tell you, I'm already super glued to American football! I tried watching other American sports like baseball and basketball, but having been grown up with cricket, baseball doesn't simply attract me. But man, American football seems awesome!!!
So I would rather say that Gridiron is doing pretty good. Had a heartbreak last week when my Iowa State lost to Iowa LOL...
But I feel like Gridiron is a typical cultural identity for the US and it should stick around for decades to come...
Cricket has a rich history in the USA. Before the Civil War, cricket was a very popular sport in the USA & Canada.
In fact, most of the US founding fathers, including George Washington himself, played Cricket.
The very first International Cricket was played between the USA and Canada in 1844 at a cricket ground in New York.
Baseball took its place only after the Civil War.
Cricket is like God for Indians😍
Interesting phrase!
Except Cricket is more important lol
Cricket is the religion and Sachin the GOD
The guy in the thumbnail is not having a good time.😂😂😂

Cricket has rules? LOL! Seriously; I was aware of some of the rules, but you've went and explained it in a way that is informative and entertaining. very well done.
Thank you very much sir, your kind comments are greatly appreciated!
A lot of my American friends don't understand Cricket, so this video was made to end the confusion.
Be sure to share this video and subscribe. There's a lot more sports I try to explain :)
Ninh Ly
Yes; I'm American; I understood cricket a bit; but now I understand it a little better.
There are 42 rules in cricket and some of them can be very complex like LBW
There are no rules in cricket, it has *Laws*
Very nice, thanks. It seems the basics are reasonably straightforward. Whew...
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative. And I loved the vocabulary-Leg before wicket LBW… Terrific stuff!
Cricket is not just a sport, it’s an art.
Once you really start to understand minutiae of it, there is no other sport as addictive as cricket.
You could say that about any sport, but Cricket is cool.

Thanks, I'm glad this helped! Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
In India Even 3 year old boys know these things correctly😂😂
Thanks you so much., now I can enjoy the joy of watching cricket with family 😊❤
Thanks for making the video mate! I’m an American in uni in Alabama and I’m trying to major in Sports Management and I am trying to get into Aussie subculture with cricket.
So many americans are about to come and watch this video. The final game was trending #2 this morning in USA.
Yes it was ... it was an immense game, for sure. You couldn't have scripted it better.
Thanks for stopping by, bro!
Are you talking about the 2019 world cup final?
@@debasmitanandy4558 duh
Thankyou for your help with the knowledge of cricket greatly appreciated :)
I would love to play but it's way too wet here in the southern US curse you rain yet I love you at the same time rain
+Mrchips469 It's too wet in England too ... trust me, that doesn't stop people playing it! Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
+Ninh Ly another problem is that it STAYS wet in even in a drought the water stays
Mrchips469 Just like England then!
Mrchips469 : If it's not rainin' in the U.K. yer inside...lol
I live in Ireland one of the wettest countries in the world and play cricket 3/4 times a week
Hockey is our national sports but cricket is in our veins.🏏
Fair point.
@Ii T they do. They were pretty damn good at hockey too. It still is India's national sport. Kinda like baseball is America's favorite passtime, but Americans watch nba and nfl more.
India has no national sport. That is a myth. It was released in an official statement a few years ago that India has no national sport.
It’s de facto national sport not one held by the law
@@Tejas-sz1ws Proof?
new to cricket game, thanks so much for the details of rule explaining !
Thanks Magdalene, glad this helps!
England won the cricket world cup for the first time, Great.
They certainly did!
@@NinhLyUK
Great match though by both teams, it proved that Cricket should have 2 winners not just one
As an Englishman, I'd have to disagree with the last part of your sentence.
@@NinhLyUK
Did I offend you?
If I did I'm sorry
@@NinhLyUK
But honestly England played well though out the tournament, and even in Final they held their nerve.
By the way , I'm an Indian but was happy when England won honestly.
Have a day off and the t20 wc is on so guess I’m gonna watch this. Seems a little like baseball
I can't make out what you're saying near the end when you say "if you're new to cricket, I highly recommend watching the highlights of any Indian "premleiney" game to start out with.
Thanks for the video though. We have a number of what look to be pickup teams playing here at various parks in the Silicon Valley. I stop and watch, fascinated but ignorant. Now I can be less ignorant!
'Indian Premier League' is what I said.
And thanks - glad you found this video useful in understanding Cricket.
Our PE Teacher showed this in class. Tried my best not to say “Ninh Explains” at the start.
Ah, glad my videos get around!
Started watching this show Cricket Fever on Netflix but they never explained the rules. Very helpful.
Anytime! Glad you like this video.
