      @@atharvam4913 very true and cricket is the most lethal non fighting sports anyone can die in cricket though there are many protections but still you can die but imagine cricket in 70's and 80's when there was no protection it was much more lethal there was 50% chance for a batsman of getting killed still legends like sunil gavaskar and viv richards went and dominated the bowlers that's why we should respect them immensely and also cricket is ten times more lethal than baseball

    • @emam509

      MrHoodytube The best sporting country in the world. This year they played cricket world cup final, in 2010 they played FIFA world cup and remain unbeaten, they are the world's best in rugby and now got some amazing baseball players.
      Of course england is behind every thing but I think except Andy Murray they didn't win any thing in recent years, though he is a scottish. :)

    • @emam509

      Yes, they are also a very good sporting nation, but when you will bring the population ratio, Kiwis are little ahead I think. Aussies can be compared with South Africans by playing cricket, football, rugby and field hockey. Though Australia is all time best in cricket and have some good hockey records.
      You might find the Dutch are most physically superior nation in world now. They are also trying to adopt different sports. But Kiwis always amaze me by their population and position. You must agree, being situated at the end of the world it's not easy to be in all those things.

    A Baseball pitcher is someone who we in Cricket call a 'Pie Chucker'. XD
    Edit: I want to correct the mistake I made in my above comment. The term 'Pie Chucker' refers to a bad bowler in Cricket and and not the pitching action used in baseball. I know it's 5 years late but it's never too late to admit that you were wrong.
    I'm not deleting the comment because it has got 1.1k likes and that doesn't happen too often for me. XD

    • @wunnell
      @wunnell 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +MegaRazzzz; Um, no. Anyone who bowled as fast as a pitcher pitches would not be bowling "pies". If you actually mean a "chucker", i.e. someone who throws rather than bowls, then that would be more accurate. A pitcher generates much of their speed by flexing their elbow and it's that that's not allowed in cricket. Bending the elbow while bowling is perfectly legal, as long as the angle of the bend doesn't change by more then 15 degrees during the delivery. A bowler must use his momentum and shoulder to impart speed to the ball.

    • @MegaRazzzz
      @MegaRazzzz 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      You are splitting the term 'Pie Chucker' and using the two parts in two very different contexts. 'Pie Chucker' is not a technical term and is used loosely for any action which resembles the chucking of an actual pie. The Baseball pitcher's action is like that of someone chucking a pie and is nothing like the round arm bowling action used in Cricket. Unlike the pitcher, the elbow is not used by bowlers to generate pace because it is highly inefficient and moreover, illegal. The pace is generated through a run-up and the round arm action. The 15 degree bend rule is solely exploited by *some* spin bowlers whose unique bowling action allows them to use that bend of arm to create extra spin.

      Ian Erin Lol in baseball if you are getting bases on 1/3 of balls (.33 average), you are doing what some of the very best could do. This cricketer is a bowler and did pretty damn well for someone never exposed to baseball. I shudder to think what the likes of David Warner (who actually was approached by the MLB) or Chris Gayle would do. Balls that don't bounce in cricket are considered to be the easiest balls to hit

      DiDan Do you think that the greatest batsman of all time in cricket can play baseball? Playing with a stick rather than a paddle is so much harder. Hitting a 95 mph pitch in baseball is so fucking hard. The glove is not just for protection it helps a fielder to field ground balls or catching fly balls. Catching fly balls still fucking hurts but just a little. There are so many pitcher who can throw 100 mph its Justin Verlander, Aroldis Chapman, Dellin Betances, Noah Syndergaard, Yordano Ventura, Jose Fernandez, Nathan Eovaldi and much more. Nolan Ryan can throw 108 mph. Fuck you

      Zach Z 90 MPH pitches that don't bounce and are at shoulder height away from body? That's called a full toss in cricket and is considered the easiest ball to hit for 6. Most of the time when it is thrown, it's when the ball accidentally slips out of the hand of the bowler. They never do it on purpose because it's so easy to hit. Even the fastest bowlers in cricket (95-99 MPH) have been hit for easy 6's off full tosses

      @cyrushanleone 9 ปีที่แล้ว +82

      Zach Z Baseball batters will struggle against cricket bowling. In cricket, you can bowl anywhere and even hit the batsman in the head legally. I don't see a batter surviving an over against an aggressive fast bowler without being stretchered off the field. Most cricket batsman will struggle to hit a baseball IF they are swinging with all their might (not because the bat is smaller, but because baseball bats are rounded instead of flat like a cricket bat). However, cricket players would be able to survive baseball because they would be experts in bunting and placing the ball exactly between two fielders. When it comes to fielding, cricket players have a huge edge on catching (heavier/harder ball and without gloves) while baseball players are way superior in sheer athleticism on the field. I am American, so I've had quite a bit of exposure to baseball and picked up cricket in my college days

    Most important is that you get just one shot as a batsman in cricket per game unlike baseball where you get three strikes per innings and 9 innings in total if not more. It’s very important to have and difficult to master a good technique in cricket instead of just swinging through the line every ball/pitch

      Erm, you can most definitely guide the ball with a swing. Home run hitting players are the ones that swing with full force and don't care about hitting it the other way, through the hole, getting a sac fly, laying down a bunt either up the first or third base line, etc. Don't get me wrong, cricket's hard to play but baseball also has its own nuisances.

    As a baseball fan I just want to clear up a few misconceptions that cricket fans seem to have about baseball. First the pitch it not thrown at the same location (or height or speed). A pitcher will constantly be trying to change from high to low, from inside to outside. To that he will add change of speed, sometimes using the same arm motion and location to fool the batter, but throw at least 10mph slower than his fastball (and sometimes more). This gets the batter "out in front," meaning he has swung too early. These kinds of pitches are called change of pace. Next, with the exception of the pitcher's fastest fastball ( a four seam fastball), his other pitches will move or break as they approach the strike zone all coming from the same arm slot. (In other words as he delivers the pitches will look the same until it is too late.) There are a variety of breaking pitches; a slider, sinker, curve, forkball, cut fast ball, knuckle ball, two-seam fastball, etc. No pitcher in baseball can get away with just throwing his fastball. He must mix up his pitches to fool the batter. So a pitcher, like Arroldis Chapman can come at you with a 100mph plus fastball up in the strike zone, and then when you're all cranked up to hit it, he will "pull the string'" on the ball and go down to 85mph. Or his next pitch could break toward the lower outside part of the plate (strike zone). The whole art of pitching is to keep the batter off balance.
