- We are back!
I react to some of the Top Run Outs in Cricket and was amazed as to some of the similarities between baseball and cricket! I am loving reacting to Cricket highlights! Let me know what you want me to react to next!
As mentioned in the beginning of the video, I have decided to retire from baseball following my release from the Arizona Diamondbacks. I'm very excited for the future and can't wait to publish more content for you!

"I don't like how they go to the box every other play to make sure it's out."
*two seconds later*
"That looks safe. Oops."
You always gotta be sure in 🏏.
@RexyBing Hey if u are reacting to run outs and calling out cricket on getting box reviews everytime (according to u). U should have probably watch one or two matches and see for yourself how frequent it is reviewed. All these are just replays for TV audience and not reviews.You should put some efforts in research before calling out ( calling out once would have been forgiven but kept repeating it)
With the geometry of the bat itself and various angles, it's nearly impossible for a human eye to catch and judge the exact moment of crossing the line vs the stumps breaking.
Before instant replay (which cricket pioneered), the batsman always got the 'benefit of the doubt'. The main reason they introduced it was frankly because tv was showing up the umpires.
@@nnnnnn496 In base ball the ball and the player both are directed to the same point sothere is no problem for the umpire to judge it but in cricket There are two different things separated by a distance , the batsman does not have to reach the point where the stumps are and the ball needs to go further away from the boundary line , There are two things to concentrate on rather than one like in baseball so humans are not capable to watch both accurately .
Secondly a team gets only 1 review per innings and is mostly decided by the captain , one should be careful with asking for the review . What you saw is the use of technology in cricket , there are devices that trace the trajectory of the ball , there are cameras everywhere inside the field , this is a replay just like replays in WWE , its purpose is to relay every small detail in the sequence up close .
In my opinion Baseball has 27 ‘wickets’ which could be close. With cricket being just the 10 to take in a game, it’s more important the decision is right
You have no idea how much 2 inches can hurt you
2019 World Cup semi final.
😭
That's what she said
One of the best games ever!
Why did you have to remind us that 😞😞😞😞😞😞
Oh god i got goosebumps just by reading this !
Jadeja laughing from corner😂
😂😂😂😂 ipl be like - humara matches ka bhi dekh lia karo
Ryt😀
IPL be like : jaake dudh piyo 😂
Let him laugh
Why in the corner?
There are so many close calls ...the slowmo' shows if they're in or out
same with baseball lol game a inches cm’s mm’s
1. The glowing ball is used in the new format of Test cricket, day-night cricket. The red ball is too hard to see at night, so the pink ball was brought in as it lasts longer than the white ball.
2. Whilst you may choose to go to the wickets closer to you often, when fielding square of the wicket, you are taught to go to the furthest wickets as you will have three stumps to aim at, not just one. Ponting was the best at this, never missed the non-strikers end from point/cover
3. You bounce it for a few reasons, firstly it is easier to gather for the keeper if they need to remove the bails, and secondly it eliminates more the chance of error (like in Baseball when someone throws an easy ground out into the stands). Aim to bounce it and that won't happen!
4. Cricket is slower than baseball, so it doesn't effect play too much when a review is called. Also they are quick, unlike in the MLB when they take forever when Angel ***** up a call at first. I'm a paid umpire at semi-pro level and the rule of thumb is: direct hits ar eout unless they are clearly safe, lmao. Umpires and players both agree - it avoids arguments for the most part.
5. Communication is key, just like in Baseball where they will be telling short or second base where to throw, the whole team will be communicating and telling the fielders where to throw - usually by saying, "Keeper," or, "Bowler"
6. The last run-out is so impressive, it's a bowler who has bowled all day in 100f heat. Be like a pitchers throwing a complete game, and his last out in the 9th was that play (plus Bowling is more taxing than pitching, imo)
If you love these there is a LONG video on youtube of every Ricky Ponting dismissal. Arguably there have been better fielders, but Ponting had the best arm I have ever seen. He never missed over 30 yards. You have to enjoy fielding if you want to play cricket, as the majority of your career is spent in the field, some of my best memories are run-outs.
Hope everything goes well for you, man. And stay safe
Really good comment. It's rare to see a comment on a cricket video that 1) has a decent grasp of English, and 2) makes a cohesive statement! But you've brought some good knowledge to this as well. Nice. 👍
10/10 comment. Thanks for the explanation.
That's like a Nescafe of Cricket 👍🏻
"4. Cricket is slower than baseball" I went to a couple of MLB games on trips to the US and would say that the time it takes to have 6 pitches in baseball is about the same amount of time for an over to be bowled by a fast bowler. It could be faster, but it isn't.
"2. Whilst you may choose to go to the wickets closer to you often, when fielding square of the wicket, you are taught to go to the furthest wickets as you will have three stumps to aim at, not just one. Ponting was the best at this, never missed the non-strikers end from point/cover"
I think the decision, for better fielders, is usually based on which end is more likely to produce a run-out. Then it might be which batsman do they want out. Then go for the easier option.
Lesser skilled or experienced fielders may choose the easier option because they may not have as good awareness of what the batsmen are doing.
Watching square of the wicket fielders, particularly point fielders, the angle they approach the wicket is often from behind square, angled more to the bowler's end, making the bowler's end the easier option.
I think Ponting had about 80 run-outs with 60 direct hits in his career.
For several years the Australian team had as an assistant coach Mike Young, who had coached the Australian baseball team.
2:19 Pink ball with white uniforms = Day/Night Tests.
Best format but not for beginners to check out
Originally countries had their own umpires. Complaints came about 'home town decisions' (and yes, some of them were shockers). The International Cricket Council introduced neutral umpires. The third party reviews came about because some of the decisions were close and a wrong decision can have big impacts. The umpires are scared of getting the decision wrong, so are happy to send it upstairs. There is also a review process the captains can use if they aren't happy with the decision.
My favourite of your cricket based videos. I agree that the umpires go to the review on calls that they should be able to make. They get so much criticism if they get it wrong though it is better to be sure, even if you have the slightest doubt. There is no way you can tell from a players reaction on a close call.
They review because run outs are so rare in cricket, they maybe only happen once a match! May as well get the call correct when its not going to make the game longer! The clips just make it seem like its a very common occurrence like it is in baseball!
When an umpire stuffs up and they could have hast reviewed it it's embarrassing, so they just review every time.
It's the epitome of Fielding in cricket. Getting run outs in a match is the hardest part of good Fielding.
Agree that most of them are tight, but I've definitely seen a few run-outs where they're out by a metre and they'll still go upstairs. Wouldn't be surprised if the umpires have been told they have to review it just in case unless they're halfway down the pitch!
Yeah, in baseball you're making these sorts of calls possibly tens of times per game. In cricket, it might be once or twice. Best to just get it right, especially as the impact of a wrong decision is also larger than in baseball (10 outs vs 27 per side in a game)
During the playoffs in the NHL every goal is reviewed by the league in Toronto. Sometimes they even reset the game if they see a goal was missed and play has continued.
Canadian football also does this I believe, now days it only takes 20 seconds most times to have a separate team of video judges check to make sure(the play is stopped naturally for this long anyway).
The fans like it because it doesn't slow down the game as it's a separate team of people looking at replays and the right call is always made.
Reason the umpire always goes for the “box review” (aka Third Umpire) in these examples is bcos these close calls happen so irregularly in cricket, so they want to make sure they get the decision correct.
Unlike baseball where every time they run to first they need to make a snap decision or it would take way too long.
also the fact that 3rd umpire decisions today with the technology implemented take about only 30 seconds of game time, and even if EACH AND EVERY wicket (20 in a game) were reviewed in a T20 match, that would only mean about 10 minutes longer to a game which is already around 3 hours long
You made some great observations in this video.
One thing to ruminate on: many people get this wrong, but one of the keys to understanding the difference between cricket and baseball is that bowling is an inherently "worse" way to deliver the ball than pitching *in the same way* that a baseball bat is an inherently "worse" tool for hitting the ball than a cricket bat. When I say "worse," I mean "with more physical limitations."
This one fact allows you to derive reasons for almost every other aspect about the game; why cricket is a batter's game while baseball is the pitcher's/fielder's game, why the field and the equipment are designed and balanced in the way they are, etc.
If you understand this, you break free of the constant need to compare with respect to better/worse (you're certainly not doing this, but many do) and can really appreciate the fine points of both games with depth, precision, and clarity.
Bloody well said!
Spot on
Yes, they get to keep the one run as long as they have taken it fair and square. It doesn't matter if the players then get out while running the second run.
Much love from an Australian cricket fan, glad to hear you're healing up, and wishing good luck for the future man! I'll be sure to swing by the twitch soon
If you are run out on the 2nd run, the first still counts. The issue with the umpires using a video replay to determine a run out arose from TV replays highlighting clear mistakes being made by umpires. When an umpire made a string of mistakes it lead to complaints of the match being "ruined" and general disatisfaction of all involved. Once the umpires had the ability to use the video replay it became overused and now on field decisions are rarely made.
If you are run out, you do not get any of the previous runs connected to that dismissal
@@bamboodread4243 incorrect. If you are run out on the second run the completed 1st run counts
@@bamboodread4243 As noted, that is incorrect. It's different for a catch. In that case there are no runs, even if the catch is made after a run is completed
@@bamboodread4243 the only reason the run could not be counted is that if the batsmen running the first run does not complete the first run properly Meaning one of the batsmen was short of touching the crease on the other side.
@@bamboodread4243 bullshit....... rule 38.4 (yes I looked up the rule number) says: If either batsman is dismissed Run out, the run in progress when the wicket is put down shall not be scored, but any runs completed by the batsmen shall stand, together with any runs for penalties awarded to either side.
They dont look at the camera review each time, its just a slow mo replay they show on tv
Nice video bro, enjoyed it.
A few things
- The balls often bounce into the stumps because you're always taught to aim at the base of the stumps. This is designed to stop your throw going over the top of the stumps. Like you said too its often easier for the wicket keeper or whoever is at the stumps to take the ball cleanly.
- If they batsman is run out attempting the second run, yes they do get to keep the first.
- They often go for the 'other end' because the fielders yell out which end to throw to (bowler or keeper). The other fielders all have a good view of the runners so can communicate, i guess similar to baseball.
- They do go to the box (3rd umpire) too often but sometimes it can be deceiving and the umpire has to watch the stumps and crease at the same time. These plays dont happen very often like a baseball runner either so people dont usually mind waiting. The runners arent forced to run at all so often there are no runouts at all in a game.
You are right. Outs (wickets) in Cricket are much rarer and far more valuable. A typical score in long form, traditional (proper???) cricket is 300-9 in one innings which means 300 runs scored for the loss of 9 wickets. So, for top batsmen, there is a stamina question as well, as they could start batting at 11am and still be batting at 6.30pm, with only a 40 minute break for lunch and 20 minute break for tea and three 5 minutes drink breaks on the pitch. It takes enormous concentration. They maybe face 250 balls in that time.
I hope he sees your comment.
Yeah or the strain from a batter whos batted multiple days
I'm an Aussie, quite a few cricketers played baseball in the offseason during the 80's, 90's and 2000's, mostly the batsmen. A lot of the processes are similar, especially fielding. If I remember correctly during the early 90's, we had a baseball coach from the states as our fielding coach for the national team for a number of years.
If you are ever in the Long Room at the MCG make sure you see the photograph of Bradman's Invincibles from 1948. They are all in baseball uniforms having played against a Melbourne selection of grade baseball players. Neil Harvey, who was the baby of Bradman's team, was a Victorian State baseball player as was at least one of his brothers...read the story of the Harvey brothers. Ian Chappell was a SA State baseball player and his brothers were grade players. Allan Border and brother played grade baseball with Mosman. Finally the great Victor Trumper used to play top level baseball in Sydney pre WW1 years.
Very few baseballers played at the level of earlier players in cricket after the Australian Baeball League was first introduced in 1989. Elite players often played the local season then moved to Major or Minor or college Leagues in the USA.
The coach you mention was named Mike Young. Mike came to Oz to coach Perth in the ABL mentioned. He also coached the Australian olympic team in 1996 and then went into Cricket Australia. More recently he has coached in the IPL.
The box review, is known as the third umpire. As someone who has umpired in a local cricket league. I can tell you, without a doubt, that making those calls in real time is often impossible! The rule of thumb is ‘if in doubt, not out’.. however, this has led to many thousands of incorrect decisions. Hence the 3rd umpire is entirely necessary in professional matches. And it’s use to be encouraged in all close calls. I do agree, that sometimes umpires do use it when it’s a obvious call, but that happens less often than you think.
Also, the use of the 3rd umpire is limited to certain calls. For example, they are only allowed to make decisions regarding ‘fall of wickets’ (out calls) for run outs, lbws and catches. They can also aid in decisions regarding the ball crossing the boundary. They are not allowed to make any other calls for any reason. Field umpires are solely responsible for this. In the 2019 World Cup final, New Zealand sadly lost (in the best game of cricket in history) by a extra run incorrectly awarded to England by the field umpires. Had of nz been allowed to review that decision, they would have won. It was a incredible game, guttered by the result😭
Yep. Kiwis were fucking robbed.
The other thing that makes runouts in cricket rare is that the batsman doesn’t have to run if they don’t want to. So any runout must in some way involve a mistake from the batsman.
Yeah, sometimes a batsman usually panic too when a ball is nearby on fielder's hand but the other batsman is running so you just go with it...
If you could do a video on how baseball players could use any techniques from cricket to stand out and improve their game, I think that would be really interesting
It would be a very short video.
It would be called "How to Sledge" by the Australian National Team
basically nothing
If you're out in a game of cricket, you can't bat again. That's why outs are more significant here.
"The line is the fielder's" because a batsman is out of his ground if he isn't touching the ground inside the line. The crease is the inside edge of the line, so just touching the line is not enough.
The reason for the reviews in cricket is because they happen once or twice per match and the umpire has to move from their original position to see from the correct angle while a baseball umpire is always there watching only one base. You can see in most of the clips that the run out has already happened and the umpire has barely been able to move
the reason they go to review for alot of run outs is because most run outs happen at the non-strikers/bowlers end and because the umpire is standing behind the stumps they have to quickly move side on so alot of the time they aren't in position to make a call confidently and the reason they sometimes go for the further away is because the non striker typically gets a head start so you have a better chance of the getting the batsman who faced the ball out at the bowlers end
Commenting after just watching the intro.
1. Wish you a full recovery.
2. Wishing you the best luck for your next endeavor. I can only imagine how tough it is for an athlete to retire. Hope you find something that you love to do.
3. Congrats of getting hitched!
Edit after watching.
The point about outs being more common in baseball is what helped me appreciate the sport when I started watching it. I also heard that those who know cricket and soccer should treat baseball scores like a high scoring soccer game rather than a cricket game. Before I heard these analogies, baseball seemed so boring. But I had started to enjoy watching the game. Still confused by all the leagues. We rarely get baseball coverage in India any more since ESPN started to cater to "local-only" content. There is still some coverage at odd hours, I hear. But don't have cable any more.
I watched a few El Mago clips, and wow - some were just incredible. TY for the info.
Maybe take up cricket?
should react to some of our Cricket stuff Rexy!!
i love your videos TBCC 😊
Waiting for the biggest sixes reaction
LOVE UR VIDEOS TBCC...❤❤
Three Bridges Cricket Club wtf lol I live right next to you guys
Yesss
There are some amazing fielders in South African cricket as well like Jonty and De Viliers. Some of the most spectacular runouts I have ever seen.
Run outs don’t really occur too much in professional cricket, maybe one per match potentially two in a t20 game, where the objective is to score runs really quickly. Box reviews tend to be used because of the speed at which the game is played. If you go and watch a professional cricket match in real life, the ball travels so quickly that it’s hard to see (especially in test cricket, where the ball is red) Therefore umpires want to make sure that the decisions they make are correct.
I’de say even one run out every match is more than average
React to the 2019 Cricket World Cup Final.
england ri8
Yeah watch the whole match and give us your take on it!!
Tried to, but the video got taken down for copyright. Really tough to grow the sport when the companies are so cut-throat on copyright.
@@RexyBing At least you now have idea of how intense cricket can get at the dying moments of the game.You can do discussions video about that using screenshots of them while describing of the particular moments you are talking about.
BTW New Zealand has played in 3 more super overs since then & have lost all of them.
@@sadanandapatel6123 A shame that the original video got taken down, but I think that's a great idea for a compromise. I would be interested to watch that!
so much to enjoy on this dude's videos. primarily it's the new lingo. "They shouldn't need a box review." Excuse me my chap, here in England we prefer to say we're "sending it upstairs."
i like that they have to review every close call, because it keep a level of fairness in the game and it protects the umpires from backlash.
EX PRO 😭😭😭
Hahah
Yeah, i heard about your accident at your twitch stream. And nice vid bud.
What incident
When you say that it is interesting that fielders go for the farther end, one of the main reasons they do so is because of the following reason:
The angle of the throw which means, one angle gives you only one stump to aim at , the other end might give you three stumps to aim at .3 stumps are much easier to hit than 1
6:59 - yep if they've already completed a run they keep it even if they run again and get out.
Hey, interesting reactions as always. Have you considered doing more of a Q&A video with someone who knows more about cricket? Especially if they didn't know much about baseball, so it can go in both directions and discuss the different feels of what are two quite similar games. Both are bat and ball, are sometimes derided as "boring" and "slow" by fans of territory based ball games, and both have a ton of subtlety in strategy and technique that it takes loads of experience as a fan (or player) to learn to see.
PS I would do that but I'm no pro cricketer! 😂
i think people have answered your questions, but damn i wish the camera quality on tv for cricket and other sports shown in Australia was as good as that baseball footage
Being a massive cricket and baseball (and my daughter's softball) fan, I think you make some very astute observations about the similarities and differences. Keep that up mate 👍😀
The glowing ball is pink it is for night test because it is easier to see in the dark than a red ball, what they use in day tests.
Go look at AB de Villiers' run out.. this is once again mostly english/Australian players
Cause we are the best at run outs
@@jishafish5691 I would tend to disagree..Jonty, Gibbs, Bavuma, AB
Darae Le Roux Smith, ponting, Hussey, Lyon would like to have a writers with you
@@jishafish5691 Lyon does not count, he is not a great fielder
Darae Le Roux mate gave you seen some of his run outs
Haha bro, the line belongs to the fielders comes from the rule that states a batsman bat must be grounded or ground then raised before the bails are dislodged from the stumps to be not out, if the bat, glove shoe or any other body part is on the line or raised but not grounded, the batter would be out...
Good stuff though.
As an Englishman who loves cricket ( all 3 formats) have to say your videos are far better than any other of our American cousins videos on cricket, well played sir 😎 happy to help you with any nuance about cricket if required just message me
The reason these are mostly bounce throws is because when you are trying for a direct hit, you are taught to aim for the base of the stumps rather then the top.
Dude! The celebration is twofold. Firstly it’s very difficult to get a player out at all in cricket. So any out is celebrated wildly. But then a run out off a direct hit where the fielder often can only see 1 stump - well it’s pretty amazing. Can’t compare to baseball because baseball fielders don’t have to hit a target which is only an inch wide!
to me its similar to someone throwing someone out from the outfield in baseball, the target is bigger but the distances are greater too
They say cricket is gentlemans game, so without being said there is no room for error bud. ❤️
A gentleman wouldn't Whinge and complain if he got a wrong decision....
If it really was STILL a gentleman's game then Batsman would still walk and fieldsmen
wouldn't try claim catches that they grounded
At 4:50, the reason it's so insane is that he catches the batter out, and he runs out the batter's partner who was returning to his wicket. So he gets BOTH of them.
Nahhh... the batsman hit the ball with the toe end of the bat and the ball touched the ground and off in the air. So the striker is not out.
So glad you appreciate Cricket!
These 3rd umpire calls/Box reviews have been recently used more often. Back in the early days, the umpire used to make the decision then and there itself. I think coz over the years these umpires have lost their credibility with the new high speed cameras and new rules like 'reviews' used in the field. Adding up all these maybe umpires have self doubt making such decisions.
React to Sir Jadeja's runouts they are amazing 🔥🔥
Another point to remember is that unlike the USA the rest of the world.plays cricket and rugby.etc so when you are umpiring international.games you better make sure the call is 100 per cent.
The reason why they go to a video refers is that the bat has to be grounded when it passes the popping crease (the first and long line). The umpire, not referee, at the bowlers end is meant to take the same position as the short leg umpire if there is to be a run out. He is meant to stand in line with the popping crease so that when the ball hits the bails and are dislodged he can see whether the batsman has crossed the popping crease with his bat grounded or not. Personally, I think the position the two umpires you see who are standing virtually in between the creases is an awful position!
Bro react to Mitchel Johnson one of the best bowler
Sorry for the accident, but happy your okay now! There is a combo of things to look for when deciding which set of stumps to throw at: a) the distance of the runners from there crease (the line), & since the non striker starts talking a few steps in anticipation of running as the bowler is about to release the ball, & the striker has to play the shot, you know who's probably closer, plus if you know some runners are quicker/slower, but the main thing is the angle of picking up the ball, possibly having to turn (wasting time as the distance between the creases isn't that far), then if you're throwing side on you've only got 1 stump to aim at vs 3 if you can throw at the front/back, & if there's a teammate to knock the ball onto the battle if you miss is a minor thing! Yes you do keep the runs you have completed if before being run out (but not for catches), also it determines who faces the next ball (the non outed batsmen or the new one! The pink ball is halfway between the white & red, it's a recent addition for day-night games. They do use the the 3rd umpire a lot for run outs, but it's to be 100℅sure, also the bat does have to be over the line, but also must be touching the ground (like rugby if you want to watch any of that), there are a few incidents where that occurs (bat over line but above ground), & you can guess what the batsmen feels like.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but one reason why the fielders bounce it into the stumps is because the main surface they play on, referred to the square which is a harder surface than the outfield grass, makes the ball speed up when the ball is thrown into it.
You are also taught to aim for the base of the stumps and as the ball skids off the surface it increases the chance of hitting that base.
In other circumstances it can also make it easier for the wicket keeper to catch them, bouncing it a bit further away from them and skidding into them. (Y)
G'Day Rexy. The reason why they go to replays for just about every decision is you only bat once, Cricket is game geared toward attack (scoring) whereas Baseball is a game geared toward defence (fielding)
The orange ball is an experimental ball for day/night test matches. We usually have a red ball for test cricket which is played in daytime and a white ball for one day games which are played day and night under lights.
I don't know, maybe it's me, but I think seeing runners trying to get to the next base in baseball is more exciting than watching two batters woddling from left to right trying to get to the wicket before it is thrown out.
Cricket fielding has learnt a lot from baseball over the years - the techniques employed today are far more advanced than when I first watched cricket in the 1980s. It was probably the most neglected area of the game. Players now throw better and stop balls better. As you mentioned, a run or two is no big deal in cricket, and so the focus was on the bowling and preserving wickets.
The umpires mostly have very little time to get into position from behind the stumps to side on, to be absolutely 100% sure a close run out is 'out'. It's why they use the technology to make the correct call.
I play cricket for a disabled team and we are taught to bounce it in as the target is the base of the stumps, so that’s why so many bounce in, if you aim for the base then it can only bounce onto the stumps. Also the aiming for the opposite end is also the 3 stump vs 1 stump target. If you’re looking at the other end and are face onto the stumps you have a wider target to hit than end on with one stump.
When throwing at the stumps players get taught to aim at the bottom on the stumps so if the throw is low it will bounce and hit the stumps and if the throw is high it will hit the stumps on the full and not go over
it's bounced because a) the wicket keeper can stump in 1 easier motion if it's wide
b) the keeper can read it in easier
c) the fractions of seconds lost by bouncing are outweighed by saving runs on the overthrow when it misses- it won't go to the boundary
4) everyone bowls, we all know internally where in front we can pitch it to hit
Fielders also do their homework on which players run better between the wickets. That extends beyond just knowing the slower runner but also knowing which batsmen is a bit more indecisive when running and which batting partnerships come with tension in the relationship. For example, some batsmen are more willing to sacrifice their teammates than others while running. All of that plays into it.
The reason we go for "Third Umpire review" is that most of the time the umpires are not in a favorable position to decide if it's out or not, in baseball you have umpires in position but in cricket, the "Front Umpire" who is standing in Straight to the batsmen has to watch No Ball (which is bowlers foot crossing the line), watch where the ball pitches and then see where the ball hits as it's required in the case of an LBW appeal, further he will have to move to the opposite side of the direction in which the ball was hit to have a clear view. These happen within seconds in some instances for which the Third Umpire is referred to. When we have the technology its good to put it to use. There are quite a few controversial calls even from a Third Umpire which is an added drama to the game.
2:20 for normal daylight test matches, they use a red cricket ball; for short form, especially day/night matches, they use a white ball. For Adelaide tests, they run day/night - the only one in the world, currently - so they go half way between, with a pink ball
‘Run-outs’ in cricket are rarer because the batsman always have the option to stay safe and not to run.
A single runout can tilt an overall game to either side, so they use the TV umpire to make sure they get the decision 100% accurately
Hey there. You asked why they short hop the ball. We bounce it because it roughs up the leather. You try and polish one side of the ball with sweat and by rubbing it on your pants because that makes each half of the ball aerodynamically different. One side is smooth and aerodynamic , the other rough and draggy. This makes one side travel through the air faster and is how you get the ball to swing and curve when you bowl. If you look at the last run out in the video you can see an older ball that is very shined and smooth on one side, and rough on the other. So to assist the fast bowlers you bounce the ball when you can to help degrade the leather. If it bounces on the wrong side you shine the scuff out. Love your videos and have seen you ask about the curve they create when bowling, thats how they do it. And if you get it just perfect the ball will curve one way, and if you can get it to land on the sticking, it may deviate the other way when it bounces.When the ball states to curve a lot you give it to your fastest bowler and put half the fielders behind the batter, hopefully he just clips it and the ball flys backwards.
Like you said, outs are so important that's why they need to check. If your best player gets given out when he is not, that can completely change the whole game, so it's super important to get the correct decision. Remember cricket, you only get 1 at bat so if your out that's it.
One of the reasons they throw the ball at the non strikers end could be because the non striker has a head start to run to the keeper's side, while the batsmen has to hit the ball first and then run, so he'll be a tad bit slower and the fielders might find it easier to run him out.
Referee is called an Umpire in cricket, btw. Also, umpires will usually review for specific reasons of their own. Like if cricketers block their line of sight or if the sun is an issue, etc and they feel they can't make a fair judgement. In very close run outs, the umpire usually gives the batter the benefit of the doubt.
The reason why they always review these decisions in cricket but not baseball is because there are 27 outs in baseball but only 10 in cricket so they are worth more and therefore are more costly when an incorrect decision is made either way.
If you are the company sponsoring the video review then you want as many of those reviews as possible, also involves the crowd in the wait.
The reason they go for the running batsmans end in because they go from a standing start while the other guy is already moving down the wicket (stealing yards in baseball
I like that they have included both men and women cricket clips.
Great review! Looking forward to the next one
The orange ball is recently introduced to cricket as it is used for playing for day & night 5 day test match, earlier test match is only play in day light. Yes you keep that one run if you run out on second run.
Red Ball - Test Cricket (5 Day, 90 over/Day)
White Ball - One Day Match ODI (50 Over for each Team)
And for T20 (20 over each Team)
Test Cricket is the origibmnal format. ODI came in 80's and T20 was introduced in 2007
The orange ball is for day/night test matches and if they get run out going for a second run they still get the first completed run . It’s easier to judge a runout in baseball as the umpire looks at the base and listens for the sound of ball hitting glove , in cricket it’s harder to judge that’s why they go to the replay more often.
Just to answer a few of your questions. Off the glove is out. All runs are discarded when the batsman is out. The 3rd umpire can seem excessive at times but some forms of cricket can go for 5 days so we tend to make sure of the wicket 👍
Close outs are easier to call in baseball because in cricket you’re watching for two things four feet apart. Unlike baseball where you listen for the glove and the step on the base, or the elements of a close tag are much closer.
You’re correct to say that the big celebration moments in Baseball and cricket are opposites: in cricket a wicket is rare and valuable, whereas runs are less so. In baseball the opposite is true, an out is common but a run changes the momentum of the match.
In cricket we don’t think of fielding/ bowling as being ‘on defence’. Both batsmen and bowlers will switch between offensive and defensive tactics as the conditions and the situation of the game changes
the replay is just for us to see the different angles as often as it is for review
Most clarifications already covered in comments. Apart from the 3 wicket to 1 wicket field of view, one more reason the fielder tries to hit the wicket the batsmen is running towards is because the non-striker has already a head-start compared to the batsman. The batsman has to play the ball and then start the run, whereas the non-striker is already a few feet out and starts running almost immediately the ball touches the bat.
If you throw the ball on the bounce you take height out of the equation. A bounced bowl seldom goes over the stumps. Also the ball is travelling a bit slower and rising if you miss. Easier to field.
Ravindra Jadeja is master of run out
Run outs are a lot less common than tagging a runner in baseball for the following reasons:
(a) you aren't required to run if you hit the ball in cricket, so you can choose not to run if you think the fielder would run you out;
(b) there's only 2 places you can be run out in cricket, whereas in baseball you can be picked off at home, 1st, 2nd or 3rd base;
(c) a cricket bat is over 4 inches wide and has a relatively flat face, whereas the hitting zone on a baseball bat is rounded. You don't hit that properly and you're going to ground it or pop it up;
(d) baseball has 8 fielders in a 90 degree area in front of the batter whereas cricket has 11 fielders within a 360 degree arc.
All the best for your future.
I don’t really like baseball much, but I can totally respect the skill involved, and it’s great to see a baseball player respecting cricket the same way. I think baseball players throw the ball way better (faster and more accurate) than cricketers, to be honest. And I agree that the umpires use replays too much for run outs. They should trust their own judgement a bit more.
To answer one question you had: In cricket we usually try to avoid letting the ball bounce on a throw, because the condition of the ball is so important for bowling. A bounce on the ground can affect the ball, scuffing it or getting it wet, and your bowler will not be happy with you. But on a run out attempt, you don’t worry so much and it often bounces because you’re aiming for the base of the stumps. Why? Because the ball is more likely to rebound or deflect further if it hits the top of the stump, and if the batter isn’t out, they might be able to sneak some more runs. Plus if you miss it’s easier for someone to field the ball if it’s on the upward part of the bounce.
The glowing ball is actually pink, and is used exclusively at Adelaide Oval for twilight matches
The main reason that umpires in cricket review so many run outs is because they are not positioned in the field to judge run outs, they are more positioned to judge wides, no balls, lbws ect. This is especially true at the non-strikers end where the umpire often has to move out of the way to allow the bowler to back up.
You answered your own question at the end when you said outs are as common as runs in baseball, wickets are so important in cricket because they don't happen as often, thats why box reviews are needed
exactly.
One of the reasons for fielders to strike at stumps further away is due to the presence of fielders behind the stumps who can save them from overthrows (if they miss)
1). If a fielder takes a shy at the stumps in an effort to run a batsman out, even though they're very accurate, the throw will not infrequently miss the stumps completely. If the ball is thrown to hit the stumps on the full, it could sail over the stumps and eventually cross the boundary, adding another 4 runs to the batting side's score due to the fielder's 'overthrow'. if the ball is thrown to hit the ground just short of the stumps, it takes just enough pace off the ball that it is unlikely to go for many overthrows in the ball misses the stumps. But since it hits the ground just short of the stumps, it delays the ball hitting the stumps only by an insignificant amount of time.
2). There are no 'double plays' in cricket. Immediately one batsman is dismissed, the ball is automatically ruled dead and play stops. One batsman leaves and the arrival of the next batsman is then awaited, before play resumes. It is not possible to dismiss two batsman off the one play.
3). Since there are no double plays in cricket, there is no tactical throwing baed on the fielding team's decision as to which batsman to dismiss. Unlike baseball, there is no conceding a run (ie allowing one runner to get home) in cricket, based on the possibility of securing the remaining two outs through a double play to close out the inning from the next sequence of pitches. Thus, in cricket, a fielder has to decide which of the two batsmen is farther from the popping crease (ie 'safe ground'), and thus which batsmen they are more likely to be able to dismiss. This is the only factor that governs which end a fielder throws to, during an attempted run out.
4). Every out in cricket is incredibly valuable. There are only ten dismissals in cricket, before a side is completely dismissed (ie 'bowled out'), compared with a putative 27 outs per side in a baseball game. Thus every dismissal is like gold for the fielding side, and so each wicket that falls is celebrated - especially if a known expert batsman is dismissed cheaply, after scoring only a few runs or (better still, from the fielding team's perspective) without scoring any runs at all. In a five day game (ie an international 'Test Match' between two sides each representing their respective countries), a good batsman can stay in for hours or even days, adding hundreds runs to his side's score, all on his own. The highest individual score by a batsman in the entire history of Test Match cricket is 400 not out, by Brian Lara playing for the West Indies against England, at the St John's cricket ground in Antigua, in 2004. When you consider that 400 funds would be a very good score for an entire team, then you can see what a remarkable achievement Lara's individual score of 400 not out was.
5). There is not batter's box in cricket. The batsmen is free to wander as far outside of his safe ground as he chooses. But if he swings and misses when he's out of 'safe ground', then he runs the risk of the wicket keeper (the equivalent of the catcher in baseball) catching the ball and knocking the bails off the stumps before the batsman can regain safe ground. In short, the batsman can move around as much as he likes - but it's all done at his own risk.
Whats actually really impressive is when they are hitting literally 1 stick they can see from 10s of meters away while running or sometimes even falling
Also it's a pink ball used in Day/night cricket. A pink ball with black seams. And the reasons behind bouncing the ball is throwing a cricket ball in the air has natural swing and bouncing a ball a few feet before the stumps eliminates the swing and you get more control with the ball.
Unlike baseball umpires, cricket umpires often have to turn around to watch the ball, and for a sudden run-out they can have the ball suddenly thrown behind them and to not actually see what happened. This is why they sometimes call for the video even on an apparently easy decision.
You get to keep the Completed runs before the stumps are thrown down, so run out trying for a 3rd runs, you keep 2 runs.
The thing with the line, it's not that on it is a tie, the law is the the bat has to have crossed the line for the run to count, that way it doesn't matter if the line has been marked 1 inch or 1 foot wide, all that matters is crossing it's rear edge nearest the stumps (same for stumpings, batters foot has to be behind that edge, and for no-balls, bowlers foot has to land behind that fast edge)
There are only ten wickets in an innings but the AVG runs in a 50 over match is 240-250
In baseball the ref can generally make a decision easier because everything is in one little area (tagging the plate / person before the base it touched)..
Whereas in cricket, the ref needs to run to the side (about 10-15 yards away from the stumps) and the wickets are 1-2 yards away from the crease.. It is difficult to tell sometimes.
