@@fluffynoses I'm a huge baseball fan too. Your sports are really good with great plays etc, but why are your sports so.......short? I went to the baseball here in Sydney Australia in 2014 and while I loved it, I was disappointed. I just wish it went longer so I'd have more of it to enjoy. Maybe that's why they play so many games each season. The all too brief time they're at a game is never really enough so you want to come back again. The strength of test cricket is that each day is an actual day whereas some movies are longer than some baseball games. I'd need to catch a whole Home Series before I could say I'd seen enough. Two and a half hours? Hmm. I'd really want more.
I love the plastic bag comment, because some cricket commentators really do that. "There's a magpie at long off. That reminds me of the summer I spent in Vancouver (loads of magpies there, you know) and I was sitting in the park enjoying a pastry..."
This is a work of genius... I particularly love "That's a wide"... exploiting the fact that baseball and cricket use the same arm gesture to denote something completely different (Safe signal in Baseball identical to "Wide bowler" signal in cricket).
I'm actually a big baseball fan but I do love watching cricket too. It's not as big in Canada for some odd reason but with so many people coming in from the Caribbean and South Asia, it's starting to pick up. I thought this video was pretty funny. I was just playing baseball with a few buddies a few hours ago and there was a cricket match going on next to our field. It was interesting exchanging knowledge with the cricketers. They seemed to be genuinely interested in baseball as well.
Those who say "now explain soccer/cricket" (cough, football) really? Football, the ball goes in the net = goal, ball goes off pitch = throw-in. Not exactly hard :p
Ridiculous! What numbskull doesn't understand proper football? There's nothing to explain! It's exactly as you said: the ball goes in the net, it must stay in bounds. Haha! Now cricket is another story. I don't think I'll ever understand cricket!
Oh oh... I remember a video along those lines actually... Ah. Try searching TH-cam for "How cricket looks to Americans". A different breed of crazy, but great too.
+Blaine Nay there are two teams. a coin toss decides which team is in and which team is out. the team that's out tries to get the team that's in out, then the team that's out becomes the team that's in and the team that's in becomes the team that's out. now the team that's out tries to get the team that's in out. then they do it again to see who wins.
+Blaine Nay "One team is in and one is out. The team that's in goes out And the team that's out goes out And tries to get the team that's in out. When the team that's in is out they go in And the team that was out is in And then it's time for tea." Esra Slobock
This British commentary should’ve announced at the MLB London Series. And get this, this game featured the Yankees and the Red Sox, and those were the exact two teams that played in London earlier this year. This British guy could’ve replaced Joe Buck.
only two things wrong in this commentary: 1. it wasn't midwicket. it was extra cover 2. it wasn't mid-off, it was mid-on. come on, don't you know your fielding positions, man?!
Rounders (baseball, as it's called in the 18th century English children's book "A little pretty pocket book") is an English children's game. It was invented as a pastime for English children to improve physical health and circulation. It was never intended for grown ups in pajamas as seen across the water! (I'm Irish, hence 'across the water').
I'm so amazed how quickly someone's life can change. This guy was getting 7-8k views per video now to over 1 million in one video. Thats just surprising to me. One does not simply make a video go viral.
This video has changed my life in regards to my enjoyment of this great game. From now on, when I discuss the game of 'rounders', I pledge to speak of the game as would a British gent..
Both activities use a roughly hand-size ball. A cricket ball is harder than an ice hockey puck. Cricket uses a bat instead of a stick. Cricket uses high-intellect strategy and a multitude of skills, instead of a stick.
+Marc Evans we must make a law enforcable in the hague: no north american must ever, EVER be allowed to do commentary on football matches where someone might be in danger of hearing him. EVER.
ojideagu I think it's more accurate to say that Baseball is an American game based on rounders. Like American football is an American game based on rugby.
+Richard Sharp It's completely true though. I know it because I'm not American. There's a reason why these games are not popular anywhere outside the US, they're just too damn complicated.
tFighterPilot asia= japan korea taiwan latin america= dominican rep. Venezuela, peurto rico, cuba. Now i know you are biased because u live in a country that doesnt player baseball, but that is no excuse of deliever false speech. Baseball is played all around the globe. It is not hard to know the rules unless you are a complete jackass who dont care to know the game. You think americans are the only country that lnows baseball? You are dead wrong
You do realize a line-drive can reach up to 150 mph right? Most MLB players probably have the skill to catch it without the glove, it would just be the last time they ever did because every bone in their hand would be shattered. Get a clue.
Really, and cricket balls DON'T travel that quickly?! Yet, the only player on a fielding team in cricket who can wear gloves is the wicketkeeper, who can sometimes take around 400 catches a day! There are things called technique and skill, which is what sport should be about, there shouldn't be all these performance aids to take away from that!
hbkdfw cricket balls are harder than baseballs and they can still be hit close to those speeds. gloves take away all skill involved. btw i dont know any cricketers who've broken their hand catching so it obviously wouldnt 'shatter every bone', maybe just break your finger about 1 in 500 times
Fuck baseball is so confusing! Seriously i gave baseball a chance but it's ridiculous and dumb. Coming from an Cricket guy that made it more difficult to decipher. P.S once you get the cricketing references and some football references you will be rolling on the ground laughing!!!!
This is NOT "Bad British Commentary", this is Awesome British Commentary; I lost it at "says the FBI agent with the best view of all" and "and he's thrown it the wrong way! Confusion!" lol
this is so much funnier when you get the cricket references
The basketball one has some funny soccer references
No it's not.
I know cricket and it still ain't funny...
Lmfaooo frrr😂😂😂 “the man at mid wicket”
I got the references and it still wasnt funny… just kinda dumb.
0:23 "Caught by the chap in the pajamas with the glove that makes everything easier." These guys are hilarious !
Lol yea. My girlfriend hates how almost no one in MLB wears their pants the right way.

They're just happy to be involved :)

It's baseball. Rounders is a completely different thing.
Smallz If you watch the video, the narrator calls listeners "rounders fans". It's called a joke ;)
ImmaWarEagle to be fair they were just watching
Brits watching baseball: "I have no idea what is going on."
Americans watching cricket: "I have no idea what is going on."
Yep pretty much 😂
0:53 One of the rarest things in baseball: A Jon Lester pickoff move that the first baseman actually CATCHES!!
Yeah... that's a rarity
Another rare thing nowadays - a pennant for the Yankees.
My favorite part is how he says "at the end of the game" and it's the end of the 4th. XD

Iago Aspas Quote from the original TMNT movie.
Still better commentators than Joe Buck.
PLEASE do more of these, I'm in love with them!
1:03 -- cover, not mid wicket. Come on man, get your cricket right ;)
Gordon-Levitt actually pioneered the switch hit, a shot he was practising there, so whether it went to cover or mid wicket is a pretty grey area.
From when cover is on leg side iam confused
The FBI agent signalled a wide anyway. And he has the best view of all.
Gordon Levitt and FBI agent in a baseball match. This is as epic as NY 47 For No Wicket.
Now, if someone could please explain cricket.

Never ceases to crack me up......
this type of commentary will make baseball a lot fun to watch
Jeez it's just a joke. Americans getting all offended lol. I'm American. This is funny,
i love baseball and found it funny
This is the funniest thing I have ever seen - I need more of these commentaries!

Is there a version on American football?? This one was great!
I don’t know if I’m more confused by the commentary or by the fact that Lester actually threw a pick-off attempt to first 😂
I think we entered an alternate reality where Jon Lester can actually throw to bases
Request: do a roller derby video. Not the current style but 60s 70s banked track.
Not sure if insulting to all baseball fans, or comedic to all baseball fans! Thumbs up!
This is insulting
This is comedic
How in the world is this insulting, he's mocking his own lack of knowledge of baseball, not baseball itself.

I'm English but I did visit the USA and got taken to a baseball game. I kept waiting for something to happen and it never did!
I'm English too but ive seen 3 baseball games so far, and I really enjoy it :)

Umm no, this is obviously fake.. Its Red Sox 470, Yankees 240... GOD, you Brits...
@ImacAna there are several rules that are different. in this game the cimmentary was commentating this as it were if cricket.

safe! says the FBI agent. lmao!
I love the ending score, never thought it could get that high in a baseball game lol

Guys if you cant sleep or have insomnia you should watch a baseball game for 5 minutes and you will fall asleep like crazy.HAHAHAHAHA

Lost it when he said Joseph Gordon Levitz.
I burst out laughing when he said ' Ello rounders fans '
So is it as hard for Europeans to understand baseball as it is for Americans to understand cricket?
For the average joe yes. Although Baseball is actually a British game based on Rounders which most British kids play at school at some point.
ojideagu
I think it's more accurate to say that Baseball is an American game based on rounders. Like American football is an American game based on rugby.
The first written account of Rounders in 1774 in England calls it BASE-BALL
It's still played by School Girls in the UK though.
No it isn't. I'm British, and I understand baseball clearly enough, thanks.
My sides are hurting! It's been months since anything on TH-cam has made me laugh that hard!
Hello rounders fans hahahahha
"The throw comes in, the FBI agent signals a wide." Love it !

Don't forget Sarge. What a terrible group.

teehee1604 All about soft hands
It is actually a skill to catch it in a glove because if you don't close it, the ball falls out and if you close it to early it will hit off the glove
I would stop watching cricket and watch baseball forever just for this commentary.
lol wickets
Wheat from the chaff is a brilliant analogy, always liked that one.
