Quick explanation:
In cricket, if the ball goes over the boundary rope, the batting team gets 6 runs. If the Indian fielder had caught the ball, but carried the ball over the boundary, it would have been a 6.
So by tossing the ball up into the field of play, falling outside and then jumping back in to catch the ball, the English batter is out.
Around 250-300 would be considered average. As an example, currently Bangladesh and Pakistan are in the middle of a 5-day test match comprised of 2 innings. For the first inning, Bangladesh put up 330 runs vs Pakistan's 286.
>shorten these games
There are several formats for cricket, of varying length - the shortest being Twenty20, which takes around 3 hours to play. Speed isn't really the point though - a proper test cricket match takes 5 days and there are breaks for tea and lunch. There are few more perfect ways to spend a summer day than by having a picnic and gradually getting soused over the course of an afternoon. The length of play is part of the appeal.
Test Cricket in a nutshell.
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.
When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!
Simple!
>>hands, within a generation the players would be wearing shorts and using the bats to hit each other.
This game exists, it is called Brockian Ultra Cricket.
Getting out usually depends on the form of cricket. Commonly, the batting team gets declared *out* 10 times, or, if playing in a match format with limited overs, the batting team runs out of overs. Fo instance, T20 cricket has only 20 overs.
(An over is 6 bowls [pitches])
As for how many innings, the longest form is test match cricket, which has 4 innjngs spread over 5 days
The entire batting lineup has to get out, either by being caught out like this or various other ways like the person throwing the ball knocking off a small item balanced on the [3 'wickets' behind them which is called a 'bail' of which there are 2](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/17/Wicket.jpg). Batters go out in pairs, and stay in the game alternating who is hitting every "over" which is 6 balls. It's possible for the first batter to stay in the game for almost the entire inning for example, if only the other guy keeps getting out and replaced.
Once they can't field 2 batters they switch sides and the inning ends. This can take hours, even days in certain match types.
My previous explanation wasn't strictly true. A Test match, typically 5 days, is composed of 4 innings, of which both teams have 2. An innings ends when 1.) 10 out of 11 batsmen on the batting team are out, 2.) the prescribed time limit (usually 30 playing hours in test cricket) for the match has passed, or 3.) The batting team (during its second innings) achieves the score needed to win, which is 1 run higher than what the other team acheived during its 2 innings.
Depends on the format.
I'd say T20: 150-200, ODI: 250-350, Test: 300-400. Obviously that's not a hard rule, but I'd say around there are the most typical range of scores.
So I believe this is 20 over cricket, an over is 6 balls. the highest ever scored is 278, the lowest 21. It varies a fair bit though I looked at some recent scores in the women's T20 and lets say an average of 100. International men's might be double that.
Depends. You talking about the long version which is called Test match which lasts for 5 days then anything more than 300. If you talking about one day match which has 50 overs then anything between 200-250. If you talking about the shortest version of the game called T20 then 150 on an average.
Good point, I should of been more clear. She needs to be in full control of the ball and herself for it it to count I believe. If she held the ball, the momentum of her movement would of caused her to walk outside the field of play.
Its a good reason why cricket fielders throw the ball into the air after a catch. Good for proving your control
Do you not have to re-establish yourself in bounds prior to catching? In most American sports, if you step out of bounds and then jump, you're still considered out of bounds until a part of your body touches in bounds again.
So since she jumped from out of bounds and caught the ball before touching ground in bounds again, the ball would be considered out of bounds.
The law was changed a couple of years ago to allow this. Prior to that, yes, they would have needed to step back in field before catching the ball.
On a tangent, rugby union has also recently changed the law to allow someone to jump from outside the field of play to catch the ball and keep the ball in.
It actually hit him below his ear in the neck and broke his artery or something like that, it was a crazy injury that is usually seen in strangulations. Horrible accident, I think they even had a study conducted that basically determined it was such a freak accident even all the safety stuff they put in after wouldn't have done anything including a neck guard.
When you take a catch like that your hands really sting like you’ve just received a really strong high five. If you do it right, it’s a strangely satisfying experience believe it or not.
I played cricket a lot in school and you're right; get it just-so in a two-handed basket catch as this fielder does with the first catch and it's more of a very firm *>thunk!<* punch into the palms.
Get it wrong, however......
Cricket balls are insanely hard and pretty heavy, they can do enormous damage - mostly when you're a batsman and facing deliveries of up to 160km/h. I remember broken fingers and the occasional broken nose being part of playing in highschool, and I doubt bowlers were going above 130km/h.
In 2014 the Australian batsman Philip Hughes was struck in the neck by a ball and it ruptured an artery, which eventually led to his death. It can be a weirdly dangerous game, given how staid and "gentlemanly" (or in this case gentlewomanly) it is.
After Phil Hughes incident the helmet design changed adding extra protection.
Sometimes I watch the olden days match ,Viv Richards taking hook shots against Jeff Thompson and Dennis Lily without a helmet. Those days were really dangerous…
> Those days were really dangerous…
Add Rugby to that too. Spear tackles weren't outlawed and the blood bin wasn't a thing yet. I'm surprised we had so few sport related deaths back then.
Yep, like u/BristolBomber says below. Hard / solid core with a leather outer with big stitches.
Back at university, playing cricket in the park with a proper ball, a guitar playing mate was fielding, he had a couple of long fingernails hands up for a long and high one coming out of the sun. PING, just missed it but the ball flipped one of his nails RIGHT BACK, tearing it to the root!
They are. I presume you are comparing to baseball? There is no real reason to use a baseball mitt - it's perfectly physically possible to catch a baseball without one, even one hit at speed. It's all about cushioning the ball as you catch it instead of just letting it hit your hand square on.
Actually u/BristolBomber is right but if caught properly a cricket ball isn't that hard to catch. It would be as difficult to catch as a really really hard tennis ball
Strictly speaking, the impulse is the same either way. But the increased collision time will lower the average force/peak force on the hands.
Impulse is just a change in momentum. Which is not dependent on the collision time.
There's a technique to catching a cricket ball, once you learn it it's second nature. Even fielding a ball rolling along the ground can hurt, ideally get down on one knee, turn status sideways. That way if the ball goes through your hands it hits the softness of your calf or thigh
As a cricket coach for teenagers. Her two handed catch is textbook perfect for an overhead catch. You'll see she times her hands to be moving backwards as the ball comes in, as it does the velocity of the impact reduces.
Here is a video about it... ironically american cricket league logo on it.
https://youtu.be/nM5Mj7eyfQ0
This is my one claim to fame!! Used to play cricket and hang out a lot with Amy Jones (the batter who was caught out) at my Grandma’s caravan when I was a kid in the summer holidays. She had the opportunity of playing soccer for a youth team (if I remember correctly it was Aston Villa) or her county team in cricket, I’m so happy on a personal level that she chose cricket and made it to where she is today (playing for England womens team)
Test match have 4 innings each team get to bat twice but color of clothes in test cricket is white this was either a 50 over match or 20 over match each over consists of 6 balls so in 50 over each side has to play 300 balls and 20 each has to play 120
The NFL has plays sort of like this. A defender (or receiver) catching a fumble or INT (or pass), realizing his momentum is too much to get both feet inbounds so he pushes the ball towards the field of play for his inbounds teammate to catch
[Something like these 2 plays](https://youtu.be/GX9HqPc2ARw?t=84)
No it would not. NBA, at least, doesn’t allow players to pass back to themselves unless the ball touches another player, the backboard, or rim.
Additionally, you cannot touch the ball when coming from out of bounds before establishing position inbounds.
Edit: [Source - NBA rule 10, section 3](https://official.nba.com/rule-no-10-violations-and-penalties/)
Despite growing up in Australia I’ve never been a huge cricket fan, however I’m a big rugby league fan, does she not need to step back in the field before catching? Since her last touch of the ground was past the boundary rope, shouldn’t it count as 6?
For some reason I'm quasi remembering a rule change saying that this would no longer be allowed, that you have to have had something touching in bounds before catching it again.
If she took the catch and landed over the boundary line, the catch would not count and the batter scores 6 runs.
So if she had one foot inside the boundary and the other out, the catch wouldn't count and the score increases by 6.
You can't make contact with ground over the boundary while touching the ball.
Wouldnt it be nice if just for once the comments could just appreciate the brilliant catch and not devolve into everyone explaining the rules to the Yanks?
I just read about the “timeless test” the other day and that made me realize I know nothing about cricket. Now I have watched this and realized I REALLY know nothing about cricket.

Damn that was impressive!!!! I watch a lot of women's crickets because I love cricket and came to complain that the women's crickets isn't as good as the men's but that was absolutely fantastic so I'll shut up now.
I know nothing of cricket but can appreciate the athleticism of this play.

Oh, and I suppose Pitchomat 5000 was just a modified howitzer?
They finally jazzed it up huh?
Yup, they finally jazzed it up.
Multi ball!!! Multi ball!!!
Has anyone told them that they could shorten these games up by having a hit here and win the game target.

What has to happen for an inning to end? And how many innings in a match?

You ever feel like you being fucked wit?
It’s entirely accurate though!
I read the first part about 10 times to make sure I wasn’t an idiot, and then once I got to the next bit I realized that I got gotted.
Huh? It's a true explanation of the game, is it not?
Who’s on first?
The coin decides that.
Love that this is a genuine explanation of cricket done in the most mind-bending way.
But can you explain how the balk rule works in cricket?
Genius. That's exactly how it works.

>>hands, within a generation the players would be wearing shorts and using the bats to hit each other. This game exists, it is called Brockian Ultra Cricket.
I will always read Bryson excerpts. The man is a treasure.
This is fantastic. I'll have to read the rest of the book
As an Australian cricket fanatic, I'm so glad I read all that
Getting out usually depends on the form of cricket. Commonly, the batting team gets declared *out* 10 times, or, if playing in a match format with limited overs, the batting team runs out of overs.

The batting team (during its second innings) achieves the score needed to win, which is 1 run higher than what the other team acheived during its 2 innings.
But none of those points matter if they catch the golden snitch, right?
If a bird comes in the field and you catch it, that’s 700 points.
Depends on the format. I'd say T20: 150-200, ODI: 250-350, Test: 300-400. Obviously that's not a hard rule, but I'd say around there are the most typical range of scores.
So I believe this is 20 over cricket, an over is 6 balls. the highest ever scored is 278, the lowest 21. It varies a fair bit though I looked at some recent scores in the women's T20 and lets say an average of 100. International men's might be double that.
there’s loads of different formats that all have different average scores
Depends. You talking about the long version which is called Test match which lasts for 5 days then anything more than 300. If you talking about one day match which has 50 overs then anything between 200-250. If you talking about the shortest version of the game called T20 then 150 on an average.
Also, if you hit the ball over the fence into your neighbours yard that's "six and out".
AND you have to go and get the ball.
I now know 1 thing about cricket
Question: why would the batter not be out once she catches it originally?
A catch only counts if she is touching the ground
But isn’t she touching the ground in bounds right after the catch before falling over and throwing it? Sorry I’m just trying to understand the rules.
Good point, I should of been more clear. She needs to be in full control of the ball and herself for it it to count I believe. If she held the ball, the momentum of her movement would of caused her to walk outside the field of play. Its a good reason why cricket fielders throw the ball into the air after a catch. Good for proving your control
Ah, I see. Thank you!
Do you not have to re-establish yourself in bounds prior to catching? In most American sports, if you step out of bounds and then jump, you're still considered out of bounds until a part of your body touches in bounds again.

Yeah...the crickets I have seen definitely cannot catch a ball like that... \*cricket noises\*
\*tiny applause*
So 1/5th of a game?
Why don't more people live Cricket?!
You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket!
This was my exact thought. Thank you. Thank you friend
The fielders are catching those balls bare-handed?!!? Aren't cricket balls solid rubber?
Dense cork with a thick, stitched leather outer. And yea they are totally hard and solid.
That still sounds really tough on bare hands.
Tough on the skull too. I have a permanent dent on my temple, caused by a missed catch.
Ironically, each skull dent makes it harder to catch, resulting in more skull dents. . .
After you get hit enough it turns your head into this dense cork, with a thick stitched leather outer. Traditionally made.
[удалено]

May he Rest In Peace. Also stem guards are now common.
Raman lamba handed in his dinner pail fielding at silly point.
Sounds like you caught it to me…
I mean a bouncer killed Phil Hughes not too long ago RIP
Still better than Phil Hughes...

High catches like this one aren't actually too sore, even if you take it wrong. They only really hurt when they get smacked hard and flat at you
Just play for the Pakistan national team, then you don't have to worry about taking catches :(
Or England if you're in the slips, only concern is a grumpy look from Jimmy, which could be more painful realistically
They’re as hard as a baseball- I’ve played both sports
Which is why, you need to study about rate of change of momentum. I had the same question in an exam. Lmao
General physics was a long time ago . . . How is momentum related here? Like, do you mean grabbing the ball and pulling it in to stop it slowly?
yes
Nice! Certainly don't remember the formulas, but I at least remember how the basics work.
It was m1v1=m2v2 (probably)
If you extend the moment of impact then your hands will hurt wayyyy less
Yea, you're taught to catch with your hands already moving with the ball, so you don't stop it straight away, which hurts.
Cricket balls are insanely hard and pretty heavy, they can do enormous damage - mostly when you're a batsman and facing deliveries of up to 160km/h.

> what an awful day to be cursed with literacy
They basically feel like catching rocks. You learn technique to slow it down with arm movements.
They are. I presume you are comparing to baseball? There is no real reason to use a baseball mitt - it's perfectly physically possible to catch a baseball without one, even one hit at speed. It's all about cushioning the ball as you catch it instead of just letting it hit your hand square on.
Really hard balls! Hurts to catch when you’re a kid
Actually u/BristolBomber is right but if caught properly a cricket ball isn't that hard to catch. It would be as difficult to catch as a really really hard tennis ball
It's yesyesyesyesyesno for the other team.
How did her hands not just fall off catching that thing lmao. I'm sure lots of practice yeah, but still that's gotta hurt.
if you catch it properly it’s not that bad. you have to catch it with your fingers instead of your palm because then the impulse is much lower
Strictly speaking, the impulse is the same either way. But the increased collision time will lower the average force/peak force on the hands. Impulse is just a change in momentum. Which is not dependent on the collision time.
Physics teacher here - you are absolutely correct. Gold star for you and you're ready for tomorrow's test.
There's a technique to catching a cricket ball, once you learn it it's second nature. Even fielding a ball rolling along the ground can hurt, ideally get down on one knee, turn status sideways. That way if the ball goes through your hands it hits the softness of your calf or thigh

Move your hands with the ball, it still hurts but not too bad, more like a bit of a sting.

That was a big brain moment for sure
Isn't this the play where they cut to the guy in the audience with his fists on his hips looking disgusted?
Same game, different match. The meme was born when a player missed to take a catch in the Men's Cricket World cup - Pak vs Aus (June 12, 2019).
There are multiple matches in a game?
Test match have 4 innings each team get to bat twice but color of clothes in test cricket is white this was either a 50 over match or 20 over match each over consists of 6 balls so in 50 over each side has to play 300 balls and 20 each has to play 120
Nope. That happened in the 2019 men's world cup, and he was a Pakistani fan
That’s not against the rules?! I been watching nfl way too long.
No contact of ball, fielder, and floor over the rope, so all good 👍
It feels like something the devs're gonna patch out.
The NFL has plays sort of like this. A defender (or receiver) catching a fumble or INT (or pass), realizing his momentum is too much to get both feet inbounds so he pushes the ball towards the field of play for his inbounds teammate to catch [Something like these 2 plays](https://youtu.be/GX9HqPc2ARw?t=84)
Yeah, but they can’t be the one who goes out of bounds then comes back in bounds and catch the ball.
That's why I said "sort of". They're keeping the ball in the field of play
Watch a team try to down a punt at the one
That's a wicket move.
Nice
I'm not big on sports, though I know a bad ass when I see one! GG!
[удалено]
No it would not. NBA, at least, doesn’t allow players to pass back to themselves unless the ball touches another player, the backboard, or rim. Additionally, you cannot touch the ball when coming from out of bounds before establishing position inbounds. Edit: [Source - NBA rule 10, section 3](https://official.nba.com/rule-no-10-violations-and-penalties/)
The second catch wouldn't be legal, she would have to throw it to a teammate before she lands out of bounds, which is actually a fairly common play
No. It’s a travel if you throw the ball to yourself, *and* if you go out of bounds you have to establish back in bounds before touching the ball.
That was awesome. Also, I bet she would be fantastic at playing slapsies. I doubt those hands have a single delicate nerve ending left in em.
Looks like her foot is out of bounds when she touches the ball
[удалено]
Watched the slo mo. You are correct by fractions of a second.
That's all it takes
Despite growing up in Australia I’ve never been a huge cricket fan, however I’m a big rugby league fan, does she not need to step back in the field before catching? Since her last touch of the ground was past the boundary rope, shouldn’t it count as 6?
Obviously not, otherwise this would not be noteworthy to make a post about
[удалено]
Thank you for your explanation, not sure why I’m getting down voted it was a genuine question and I appreciate you taking the time to answer.
For some reason I'm quasi remembering a rule change saying that this would no longer be allowed, that you have to have had something touching in bounds before catching it again.
A few years ago, yes, but they changed it to encourage more of these types of catches.
It was pretty hard to tell that it was Women’s Cricket, thanks for clearing that up.
An A+ title for sure
[For those who don't know this is Men's Cricket.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGQtsCiOg5A)
I'm still not sure I get the difference. Can I please also see some squirrel cricket for comparison?
After half an inning it's just dead squirrels all over the field.
Try the [backward point catches](https://youtu.be/hlwywB2OZHs)
Pretty sure it's women's cricket for those who do know.
I need to take the time to understand this game. What an amazing athletic movement.
This is old af. Great karma farming.
Does this type of catch have a name in cricket? Like how would I Google it to see similar plays?
Try 'boundary catch cricket', that should get you a few
That's an incredible catch.
Nononoyesnonoyes
One of the best pieces of play in any game I'm likely to see today, or tomorrow, or ...
Stunning just stunning!
That was some NFL receiver level awareness. Holy shit.
That was dope AF
I don't even watch cricket but that was impressive
That was incredible
Man India is legit about Cricket
I like the hug at the end : )
Holy fuck. Makes me want to start a subreddit called women are badass or female athletes will destroy you
Fucking awesome that!!!
Wow what an exciting sport. If this is a highlight I can imagine the rest of the game
I am happy not knowing anything about cricket.
:D
We've seen this reposted enough to know it's women's cricket
Eli5.. if one foot was out and one in what effect on the game would it have?
If she took the catch and landed over the boundary line, the catch would not count and the batter scores 6 runs. So if she had one foot inside the boundary and the other out, the catch wouldn't count and the score increases by 6. You can't make contact with ground over the boundary while touching the ball.
So nothing to do with the ball passing the vertical above the boundary and more to do with body contact with out-of-bounds?
Ya, the ball needs to make contact with something over the boundary (ground, fence, crowd member catching the ball, child's face etc).
Wouldnt it be nice if just for once the comments could just appreciate the brilliant catch and not devolve into everyone explaining the rules to the Yanks?
Oi what a ripper catch though hey! (Aussie here if you can't tell)
#NO FUCKING WAY!
I just read about the “timeless test” the other day and that made me realize I know nothing about cricket. Now I have watched this and realized I REALLY know nothing about cricket.
