There can’t be comparison between both of these. Jhonty Rodes is a legend who changed the definition of fielding in modern cricket. The Era in which Jonty played was more different than where Pollard is playing.
Jonty is the reason today we can see best and awesome fielding efforts.
Yeah, that context is really important. Back when Jonty Rhodes was playing, no one really took fielding seriously. He pretty much singlehandedly changed the way the game was played.
I agree 100%, Jonty actually did things in the field never seen before. He truly was ahead of his time.
Surprised the Jonty video didn't contain the "is it a bird? is it a plane? No it's Jonty!" moment!
I was surprised the diving runout wasn’t included
watch ab de villiers he does absolutely everything but he’s not that great a bowler but his fielding and batting is the best in the game
I am biggest fan of ab d
Jonty Rhodes I like more
With the “obstruction” incident, it wasn’t a fielder who was in the way, but the bowler. In cricket the bowler is allowed to stand his ground, he doesn’t have to get out of the way of the batsman. You can see in this case the batsman ran into the bowler who had remained in the same place as where he’d been appealing from. The batsman running had changed his own direction
But now if you think about it, it does seem odd that the bowler is allowed to do that. I mean why is the bowler allowed to stand in the middle of the pitch. Either do something or get out of the way. If the bowler is running towards the stumps I understand but sometimes bowlers look where the batsmen are and intentionally try to block them. That seems illegal.
@@lakshitdagar this incident wasn't intentional at all he had no idea they were running as the whole team was appealing
@@stretogomniac3395 yeah for this game I get it. But there are so many games where it seems illegal.
@@stretogomniac3395 Lance was still up for what he thought was an LBW. Looking at the ampire.
Yes the batman is allowed to finish his run through and appeal for wicket. Not just mossy around. That being said Lance was not being obstructive as he was appealing the LBW. Was a good time in SA cricket
here is a small definition about west indies cricket - The West Indies cricket team, nicknamed the Windies, is a multi-national men's cricket team representing the mainly English-speaking nations and territories in the Caribbean region and administered by Cricket West Indies. The players on this composite team are selected from a chain of fifteen Caribbean territories, which are parts of several different countries and dependencies.
West indies is the only cricket team which isn't a country... The carribean countries including Trinidad n Tobago Jamaica St. Lucia etc combine to form a team wch is called West Indies.... They have been around since long n literally dominated the 70s n 80s cricket
3 teams have a claim to being the best in History. Australia in the 1930s aka Bradman's Invincibles. West Indies in the 70s and 80s. and Australia in the late 90s early 2000s. West Indies were probably the scariest, Would have been terrifying facing their fast bowling attack
@@superduper1639 the quality of players unable to break into that Australian team in the late 90s early 00s make that team the GOAT
@@XaviRonaldo0 The Windies teams of the 70s and 80s would like you to retract that statement lest you want to die at the hands of their bouncers. You're, in a sense, Tony Grieg 2.0
As a south African watching you comment on cricket from a totally different point of view. Gives me a happy feeling as you get into it. Thanks so much for your channel very entertaining 👍
Watch Ben Stokes innings against Australia in the ashes. The great escape 👊
Yes! I was there!!
Copyright might be an issue though...
Jonty was also a great reaction close catcher. He was a true fielding pioneer. Before him it was see as important as batting and bowling
You mean it WAS NOT seen as important
Look at Kieran pollards IPL catches.... They are even better.... Jonty Rhodes is his coach in the IPL
The obstruction rule basically is that the fielder going for the ball has priority over the batsman, but no-one else is supposed to interfere with a batsman running between the wickets. Where it gets awkward is with the bowler, who after bowling is almost always down the wicket in the line where the batsman would run. They aren't required to move out of the batsman's way which means you have to go around them. The batsman's obligation not to obstruct the fielder extends not not stopping a throw at the stumps which could run them out. Being out "Obstructing the Field" is pretty rare and having a run-out overturned because the bowler obstructed a batsman is also uncommon, but both happen from time to time.
There are also some bowlers who don't like being scored off much, especially when they think you've been lucky not to be out, and they'll put a hip.foot/arm out and give you a nudge as you run past them. It's very annoying if there's a chance of a run out, but your bowler is being an idiot and giving the batsman a life.
watch AB De Villiers craziest shots he’s known as Mr 360 because he can hit any ball anywhere
6:00 ...Nope, that really hurts..!!! Some of them just don't show the emotions of pain they are going through, that's all. Otherwise, catching a rock BARE-HANDED travelling at such a speed is truly truly Painful.
Jonty was so good. When S.A. were allowed back into cricket they came to Australia a lot. Jonty was a stand out for me. I'd always been taught that catches win matches, but Jonty took attacking fielding to levels never imagined. He changed Australian cricket for sure. Fielding was never the same.
He was good enough to get into the SA side as a specialist fielder. I used to love watching him play.
Fun fact one of the teams Pollard plays for is Mumbai Indians, and for many years Jonty was their fielding coach
Only discovered your channel today, it's great and your knowledge of cricket has come a long way since Jan. Well done, keep 'em coming
U missed Jonty Rhodes' infamous run out where he dismissed inzamam ul haq
Pollard has always been my favourite man! love to see itttt
First rule of Jonty: Never take on Jonty
He is emotion .......... Legend kirean Pollard ❤️
Amongst those recommended vids @4:04, there's a few you should watch but one you have to is the bottom right one of the guy in pink. Most people, as far as I know, say key-rin, but that guys pronunciation, partly due to the accent, is also acceptable, & he bats as well making him one of the best all rounders ever, right up there with Jacques Kallis, Andrew Symonds... The rules might have changed a bit since that was old footage regarding the instruction.
the best run out of cricket history was Johnty rhodes running out inzimam in 1992 worldcup.watch that run out.
@Jan Niemandt i remember that year in that pic of Jhonty flying was even in calenders, i had one at that time.
Pollard is what the modern short format true all rounder looks like, the bat aggressively in the middle to late order. They are aggressive bowlers. And very good fielders. Ben Stokes is another current player you need to check out. Historical legends that made this popular you can check out is Lance Klusner and Andrew Symonds.
Watch some Kieron pollard batting as well. You'll love him even more
Kieren pollard is one of the hardest hitters of the cricket ball. He recently hitted 6 sixes in an over.Only Yuvraj Singh and Herchelle Gibbs did it before in International cricket.
Please please please watch his catches in the Indian Premier League....i bet you will be amazed
Interesting fact about Jonty... "Rhodes also represented South Africa at hockey, and was chosen as part of the 1992 Olympic Games squad to go to Barcelona; however, the squad did not qualify to go to the tournament.[3] He was also called up for trials to play in the 1996 Olympics but was ruled out by a hamstring injury". (sourced from Wikipedia.
Kieron Pollard also bats very very well. A player who specialises in a team both batting and bowling is called an Allrounder.
There are a couple of types of "obstruction" in cricket but they're very rare and almost always controversial:
1) Obstruction by the batsman, called "obstructing the field". Example: Batsman plays the ball down defensively, it spins back towards his wicket, and he kicks it or swats it away with his hand. He can legally protect his wicket only with his bat. Another example might be the batsman kicking or hitting the ball away to prevent a fielder or the bowler from fielding it. In these cases he would be dismissed if the fielding side appealed to the umpire.
2) Obstruction or distraction of the batsman, which comes under the "unfair play" rules. As a rule, it is actually the batsman's responsibility not to run into anyone as they run down the wicket. The bowler and fielders don't have to get out of the way in the course of their fielding duties and the batsman just has to go around them. However a batsman cannot be dismissed if he is deliberately obstructed, 5 penalty runs are awarded to his team, and the delivery doesn't count (has to be re-bowled). I've never seen this happen.
5:15 while he is wondering about the insane skill of Pollard, I'm here wondering the insane amount of power Maxwell put into that shot, considering he struck it at the tail end of the bat (the section of the bat which is considered to produce a weak shot when striking the ball) and yet the ball would have sailed for a six, if not for Pollard
Kieron is a beast player he is one of the greats of the modern day cricket whether it's batting bowling fielding he is everywhere .In cricket we call a All-rounder if he/she can do all 3 and Keiron he is fine specimen of it . I would suggest checking out Andre Russel , another West Indian player he is a mammoth all rounder and such a joy to watch , he literally hits sixes out of the park do check him out, and yeah its KAI-RUN POLLARD
In regards to interference from the bowler on the batsman... in cricket it’s meant to be a gents sport and the decision is meant to be on the fielding team to appeal the dismissal on the other teams behalf. Good example New Zealand vs England when New Zealand appealed it for them but they didn’t return the favour
Captain of West Indies not West India : )
Illiteracy illiteracy
Regarding interference it's out by the letter of the law, however, with collisions, the fielding side can rescind the appeal to keep the batsman at the crease if they feel it was unsporting - but they are not required to do so. No one would rescind an appeal of an Australian, especially Ponting, lmao.
There was a massive blow up a decade ago between New Zealand and England over this, where England did not rescind and New Zealand were disadvantaged. It led to a massive celebration by New Zealand when they finally won.
The fielder/bowler is allowed to hold his line, either on the follow through, or attempting to field the ball. However, if he changed his line to interfere with the batsman, the decision could be reversed to not out.
However, the batsman can attempt to interfere with the fielder (to an extent). He can run at the ball to make it harder for the fielder to gather the ball, or run towards the stumps in an attempt to block the throw. But once the batsman has chosen his line to run, he can't change it.
Love your work man. Keep it up!
The fielders have no obligation to get out of the runner's way in cricket. The runner has to run around them
The rule at the time in cricketing world was, 'Don't run when Jonty is fielding the ball'
Check out cricket bouncers. Super fast bowling that virtually takes the heads off the batsmen
Plzz react to england vs australia headingly test final day
You will become a cricket fan after watching it
Or just the whole test highlights tbf 👊
Absolute classic! All my pommie mates remind me of that game, even these days :)
Cricket is not just a game its an emotion
Johnny has played field hockey as well for south africa.
Jonty Rhodes stood very close at point position that's why he got great run out's and catches hard to replicate what he did. Agree with the comment below his bird run out is iconic.
Cricket 🏏 is amazing
Netflix have a good video on You Tube explaining the rules of Cricket!
You can never beat Jonty Rhodes when he takes catches while fielding close to the batsman literally 6 - 8 feet away.
It is west indies... Which is one team that represents Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and other islands in the Caribbean... And the only team from north america that is any good in cricket...
3/4 of the earth is covered by water and the rest by Jonty Rhodes
Hey man just came across your channel love the cricket reactions 👌.
If it possible check out the 6 sixes of Herschelle Gibbs 🙏
Pollard's hand was wrapped cause his fingers were injured not as a cushion
You didn't watch Jonty's superman runout
You will not believe how did he manage to do it
Check maxwell's reverse sweeps and switch hits and unorthodox shots u will be amazed
"Kiran" Pollard....
Aussie accent.
Southern Hemisphere Accents.
GOAT in feilding jonty.
Do you know?? Jhonty is one n only player in the world cricket who won Player of the match award even he was not playing that game.. he just joined field as a substitute fielder...😂😂😂😂❤️
Rhodes changed the way the cricketing world saw fielding. Showed them what was possible.
You should look at some Jonty catches as well. and while you're at it.. watch some Hershelle Gibbs highlights too
Sometimes they try to runout a better batsman so they go for the further end. Sometimes.
Pollard means entertainment ❤️
Bro your reactions are amazing, genuine and your analysis using Baseball are great every time. Just stay more consistent, stay curious, watch all the great cricket videos, learn tactics and your subscribers will go up for sure.
Where's the Jonty Dive? That's put him in a league of his own.
That particular rule is exactly the same in cricket too.
How did they not show jontys diving run out. Like how!
If you want to see a Batsman, watch Kevin Pieterson, Bowler, Shane Warne and James Anderson, Fielding, Paul Collingwood
Yes it's K-eye-rin Pol-ard, because he's from the West Indies, and that's how it's pronounced there.
I agree he butchered the pronunciation of Kieron's name 😂😂
@@saimadhavarao he didn't butcher it, he just pronounced it differently, partly because of his accent, tom-ah-toe ta-may-toe
I pronounce it key-ron paul-ard n I'm from the Caribbean... not saying mine is 100% correct tho
Hey what happened to the 2019 world cup final video? Got taken down?
React to slinga Malinga he has the most interesting bowling action
You should check some sixes tooo it is similar to home run in base ball
Loved It!
If a bowler Intentionally blocks the runner/batsman it would be given as not-out.
And vice-versa
How would you like to come over to England and watch a cricket match?
It would also be considered interference in cricket if it was deliberate. But there are multiple umpires weighing in on cricket deliberations.
They are not called "defensive players:" they are called "fielders."
Fielders can also be called defensive players my man
It's not a term you'll hear in cricket, though. The fielding aspect of the game is usually viewed as being the offensive role - to the extent that a team's bowling unit (what you might call the bullpen) is sometimes called 'the attack'. Conversely, it's the batsman's job to defend the stumps. Kind of the opposite of how it is in baseball.
@@RexyBing don't make your own terms . For eg-
it was never soccer it's always football
Need a video like this on Jadeja, best fielder of all time next to yuvraj
The interference rule is also followed in cricket exactly as you mentioned it
the wrapping on hand is most probably because of a injury
Try saying Kieran in a sweet indies accent mate. You will get it!!
The wrap is to protect their elbows while diving from sliding on the grass.
Watch ab de Villiers , Rabindra Jadeja fielding , MS Dhoni wicket kipping , Murli Dharan , Shane Warne , Ashwin Spin Bowling ...
West Indies is the name for the Caribbean countries. It’s called West Indies because when the explorers first reached those lands, they thought they had reached the west of India.
React to Ab de villiers best catches.
Also Check out Brendon McCullum best fielding...
Agree, the best of AB de Villiers, he can do everything, when he was younger he could of gone pro for Rugby or Golf but chose cricket. Super talented
He is also bighitter .
Jhonty and Pollard 👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
They pronounce Kieron different because it's a west indian pronounciation
Make some videos on batting like AB, Virat, Afridi, and so on
Why isn't there are any IPL clips of Kieran Pollard
Kieron Pollard is a Trinidadian cricketer (West Indies or Caribbean what ever you prefer to call except West India). Lol
You should have a look at Paul Collingwood catches he's one of the best fielders
A cricket ball doesn't hit that hard when you are catching imo as long as it doesn't rip your webbing between the thumb and forefinger.... Or if you mistimed the catch and it breaks your finger
Pollard with his first catch certainly saved the bacon for someone in the crowd behind him.
React to best all-rounders in cricket if you can
Jonty is considered to be one of the best fielder at that time
react on chris gayle 12 balls 50
he is another beast from west indies.
u should react to shoaib akhtar destroying the wickets(hes the fastest bowler in the world by the way)
and shoaib hitting batsman with his bouncers
Do top 6s next
This video does not contain what is probably the best Jonth Rhodes run-out (and possibly the best in cricket history), whoch is the 1992 run out of Inzamam-Ul-Huq. Inzamam was known for being slow, but it was still amazing. Here’s the video: m.th-cam.com/video/mHqviooA38g/w-d-xo.html
Almost all west indies players are massive like keiron pollard
Please react to jadega the best current fielder
Defender?
Look at Rohit Sharma batting bcz he has got a strong game and interestingly he has got extra time to play the ball then any other player around
People often compared him with the legend himself
Sir Vivian Richard's
Do look into it .
