Amazing One Handed Spectator Catches 

Yeah and he only won $5,000 not $100000 like the others I would be pissed lol

@@bbomber2299 yeah! I mean that was the pick of the bunch no shoes on either 😂

Plus the commentators made it a more interesting watch

And with no shoes either brilliant catch slipping over!

They gave 1million away in total to nine people. so they would have to sell 25000 shirts over 5 years. 50k fits in eden park so im sure they made more then enough back. Alot of people watch cricket.

​@@amosonyoutubeyeah specially due to 2015 cricket world cup they surely sold over 250k shirts over the tournament

Thank you. I was wondering about that.

Written video description says they actually won $100,00.

Cricket is better then baseball every one knows !

Baseball is for those who can't play bounced spinning swinging balls in cricket

@@marathiboi96 Baseball is a hell of a lot more difficult, hence why successfully hitting 3 out of 10 times makes you one of the best in the sport. And why their salaries completely DWARF cricket in every single sense. You would never see cricketers with $20 to $50 million dollar salaries per year

@@a.w.b.9971 It's not about salaries, If that were the case Soccer (the real football) would be the best sport. American paydays are better than most of the world, That's why baseball players and American footballlers get paid more. You said it's about hitting 3 times out of 10 is difficult. Try thinking, Hitting each time and not missing, cause if you miss, You might get out cause of stumps, the ball varieties are there, spins, swings, Yorkers. Catches are more difficult cause no gloves except for keeper. Baseball is a good game but cricket is much harder cause it's harder to play and understand even

It always being better

The last one was worth 1m!

They'll probably have a competition to catch sandpaper

No fun to be had in Aus anymore unfortunately.

One thing for sure...you won't find this in sub continent where spectators are caged in behind wire walls.

@@NeillyWheelie cruel!!....but funny

The 100thousand dollar catches are gone in NZ now as u were only eligible wearing orange t shirt with target on it but to many people were injured in stadiums so they moved it to a designated area on embankments if ground had them, but the allure of that kind of money combined with 3000 drunk guys all going for same ball caused fights and injuries so they stopped it

Ooo bhai 😍😍

For $100,000 they gave away for the international games. Pretty sure you had to wear the sponsors t-shirt and catch it one handed.

It varies. But yes most of the time at International and premier club games. Sponsors put up a prize for one handed catches to try and draw in the crowds to the venues.

A cricket ball's size is similar to baseball and weight is probably 30-50 ounce more than baseball. It's hard leather ball with cork inside.

Much harder - hardened / boiled leather and with a raised seem that can cut

Yeah ig

Yes. Tui(nz beer company) You buy a box of beers and came with the red t-shirt. You must be wearing the t-shirt and catch the ball one handed

It was a promotional thing. 100k if you as a specator caught a six ball.

A cricket ball caught one handed with no glove isn't easy to hang onto.

Yes they do if a catch is taken someone who is part of the sponsor or the cricket ground will come get u immediately and get details etc, they dont hand over cash it goes into bank but yea it gets paid, New Zealanders are not just great at cricket we also great at carrying out our promises

It be approx 45000 US dollars give or take

​It would be around 90k usd not 45k

They do. The $ come from a brewery called tui, and you had to be wearing a tui shirt (:free when buying a 24pack of beer.

Promotion from sponsors.

@@goodshipkaraboudjan and acc😂

nah, we have that stuff too

100000 dollars wouldnt help starving people 90% of it would get taken for "administrative fees" charities are not entirely charitable

Lol. The 2nd biggest sport in world after soccer.

That's only in domestic not in international and there it's already most famous sport no need to attract audience

That's only in domestic not in international and there it's already most famous sport no need to attract audience

Drew Farmer, now if the spectators could just teach the NZ players how to catch, that would be even better.

That's cos there was a million dollar purse being shared and given out to anyone wearing those target orange t-shirts and catching a ball in one hand

@haw thorn Luckily they weren't doing something else with the sheep.

@haw thorn haha New Zealand and Sheep goes together like Us Aussies and Vegemite.

@haw thorn As an aussie I have to agree but at the same time I'm proud of it.

Specially ian smith

ian smith, legendary commentating

Yes, they are the most unbiased commentators aswell.

@@kenx1618 hghhhhhhhhhyhhhhhghhhhg

hhht

because if anyone who is wearing that orange shirt catches with one hand cleanly wins 100k dollars

10000 dollars I think...

100,000

100k $

They had a special promotion where spectators cound take $100,000 IF wearing a special T shirt.

Clearly it is $105000

Indeed and I'm an England fan and loving the commentary too!

That's new Zealand for u

Yes. A clean one handed catch.

There have been incidents where kids have been hurt, most of the time it's because there's so many people trying to catch the ball they just don't see the kid, there's designated areas when these types of events happen

😁

All the clips are from games in new Zealand

Good on you but you'll never get paid over there,these are in NZ,

Throw it back

Throw back. They use same ball for whole innings unless it gets damaged or lost.

@@rahowherox1177 thank you. As an American going to sporting events, its almost unheard of the give the ball back. Only sport that I can think of is the NBA

@@cistaro56 outside of USA, the ball is always given back (in any sport) ... but with cricket the condition of the ball is part of the game. The ball will be polished on 1 side only, and different techniques become available as ball ages.
