If that guy's face doesn't become a meme...

I bust out laughing. Top tier commentary.

bro jimmy is so fucking funny, man. just the pause between him saying it and the way he says cartoon bad guy and immediately jumps to the next thing. my god

Jimminy’s Cricket breakdown

​@CorbCorbin I was going to say that

@@danielamaro4554 Great minds think alike, sometimes.

Oh wow, yeah! That's what makes him such an effective storyteller

How? He didn't explain anything that was going on in a way that makes sense for anyone but experienced/knowledgeable viewers. What the hell is a wide or a dot ball for instance? Why does he say "that's a run" when none of the players even moved in the play?

@@HairySack98 I don't think he needs to explain every rule of cricket in every video, he explains the ones that really matter

​@@HairySack98 Jomboy has lots of videos out there explaining cricket in baseball terms, and he still uses terms to some degree that are intended for a north American audience, but he cant break down every rule in every video it would be obnoxious and destroy the flow of the narrative. If you are that interested you have the tools to find htis information yourself. The point here is hes selling us the narrative of the match, and thats something sportsfans of any stripe can understand even if you don't know the rules of the sport. A dot ball is a delivery from a bowler (pitcher) which scores 0 runs. Marked on a scoresheet as a dot. This is a good delivery for the bowler. A wide is a delivery that is considered too far from the stumps to be playable by the battsman, it awards the batting team 1 run and the bowler must deliver the ball again, it doesnt count toward the alotted 6 delivers for the over. A run is what points are called in cricket. A run is awarded when the ball is hit into play and the 2 batsmen are able to run between the wickets and change positions, this is one run. However runs can be scored as above if a wide is delivered (or no ball, an illegal delivery). They can also be scored if the batsman hits the ball to the boundary (4 automatic runs) or over the boundary (6 authomatic runs) without needing to phsically run for those points

It's because ICC has the highlights on their own website

There are so many great South African athletes in sports around the world. I used to work for a minor league baseball team and there was a guy on one of the other teams from South Africa. That was a surprise to see on the roster!

I love these low scoring matches. The struggle between bat and ball while not exactly exciting it's so interesting to watch the tactics play out.

This isn't test cricket mate its ODI

Mark Wood bowls 95mph plus in tests...

Go checkout the warehouse Ball in Play league! Game 1 does a great job to explain the layout of a cricket scoreboard

It's a huge market and they aren't going to break into China I wouldn't think so the USA of course is the largest realistic market that is untapped by cricket.

@@XaviRonaldo0 the biggest growth market for both Cricket and Rugby at the moment is Africa. I just hope the ICC don't ignore places like Bangladesh, West Indies etc. Saudi Arabia are planning a domestic T20 series as well, they've certainly got the money to get people to pay attention. Not that I'll be going there to watch a match.

nz also won in 2019, with ben stokes lol

I wanted a NZ v SA final.

Thank you, I didn't know that bit of the rule, I thought the "umpire's call" was in whether the ball maybe grazed the bat.

and for those wondering, the reason for the 50% rule is because of margin of error with the technology. The points of impact have to be decided manually by the review system crew which is complex as the ball is usually hitting the pads or another curved/non-flat surface and the impact can occur between frames on the camera replay. There are also unknowns about the projected trajectory due to other environmental variables, so >50% has been decided as the acceptable minimum

Nope, the points of impact are determined automatically by the computer system not by the review system crew. It's pretty easy to determine the impact point as @@mission101

You can be out LBW if you're hit outside the line of off stump, but only if you don't play a shot at the ball. As Labuschagne was playing a shot the line was relevant.

its worth mentioning that this is only when a shot is offered. If a batter does not offer a shot, it doesn't matter if the impact is on the offside, though this is not common

Did u watch yesterdays match? He bowled very well

@@hemutitu1870 yup, he is very talented.

I agree with everything you have mentioned about his wrist action and the type of spin the ball takes. But the term "leg-spin bowler" is used exclusively for a right-arm wrist spinner. Shamsi's bowling style would be called "left-arm chinaman" or "left-arm unorthodox".

You would be correct but leg-side/off-side is determined by the batters' perspective, not the bowlers. The usual terminology for left-handed bowlers are orthodox and unorthodox.

The review graphics are by the third umpire. Part of the game 😅

It's more easily classifiable by using the method of spin. If a bowler is using his fingers to spin the bowl then he'll be called a left/right arm finger spinner. Similarly, the other case is left/right arm wrist spinner will one who uses his wrist for spinning. This particular bowler, however, is not a leg spinner, rather he is called "chinaman". Why it's called that 🤷‍♂️. Better to call him a left arm wrist spinner.

​@@suleimanhaider5716yes but a finger spinner uses their index finger to impart spin and a wrist spinner uses their ring finger. They are both still using their finger but a wrist spinner uses a crooked wrist where a finger spinner uses a more conventional action. Even a traditional googly acts like a finger/off spin delivery but you still use your ring finger to impart the spin whilst having a crooked wrist. The wrist position is what determines the direction of spin here.

For left handed bowlers its generally orthodox or unorthodox. I believe in this case it is unorthodox as it turns across the body of the bowler (such does leg spin for a right handed bowler)

He's a left arm leg spinner, which effectively acts as off spin to a right handed batter as it goes from left to right.

@@Stephens_Rocket Shamsi's bowling style is called "left-arm chinaman" (also called "left-arm unorthodox" more recently because of the earlier term could be considered racist). I suppose the term leg-spin is used exclusively for right-arm wrist spinners.

They make a lot of money these days

I'm pretty sure you may use a bent elbow as long as there is below a certain degree of straightening of it during the delivery action.

@@XaviRonaldo0 yeah, as long as the arm does not bend 15 degrees or more from the time the ball is shoulder height, to the time the ball is released

the Bangalore pitch for the nz sl match was also insane. Mitchell Santner was getting the ball to turn

To summarize what you said: the type of spin (off or leg) is determined by the way the ball comes in for a right handed batsman for right arm spinners: off break means that it comes from the off side TOWARDS the leg leg break means that is comes from the leg side TOWARDS the off side for left arm spinners: slow left arm orthodox is the equivalent of left arm off break, as in its the same movement. This means however that it is similar to a leg break delivery to a right handed batsman left arm unorthodox, or left arm wrist is the equivalent of left arm leg break, as its the same movement a right arm leg break bowler would use, just with the left hand. This means that the ball is similar to an off spin delivery to a right handed batsman

probs the rarest action in all cricket

It's the same tech as Hawkeye in tennis, I believe. It calculates trajectory based on spin. It's pretty accurate.

@@imightbebiased9311 also, the degree of error in it is where the 'Umpires Call' comes into play - if they're not 100% then what the umpire says goes.

its fairly accurate, the best we got at the moment. The idea of umpires call is basically that if over half the ball is not in line/hitting the wicket, then its umpires call. Its basically saying that technology isn't perfect, so well trust the umpire in this case

It's generally considered accurate to within the same distance as the radius of the ball. I might be biased is correct - Hawkeye (which is used to tell whether the ball was in or out in tennis) is based on this system cricket has been using for nearly 20 years.

the problem with baseball is they tried that and everyone hated it as a lot of pitches everyone, both pitcher and hitter, agreed on were contradicted by the robo umps, because the way that actual umps call pitches, for example, a nasty curveball that just nicks the bottom of the front of the strike zone en route to bouncing on the plate is absolutely never going to be called a strike. So the problem is the roboumps can only call according to the rules as written, and the rules as written don't reflect how people expect the game to be actually played; there's some work going on towards fixing the rules though.

You just need a good explanation, u just need someone to explain to it properly, Cricket isn't actually that hard to understand

apparently it has to be more than half the ball, and the call on the first one was that it wasn't sufficiently in line with the stumps at the point where it hit the pads, regardless of the fact it *would have* hit. but yeah, Umpire's Call is "call on the field stands" rather than confirmed, except in cricket it makes a difference as you keep your challenge on a "umpire's call"

@@psymar I"m learning so much about this sport from this channel it's nice :) thanks for the reply is cool to discuss the topic

Your original comment is correct. The original philosophy on the review is mostly to get rid of the obviously bad call rather than the close calls. @@EMTgamer

@@EMTgamer to add on, there are 3 requirements for lbw, pitching, impact, and hitting. Pitching refers to where the ball first bounces (if applicable). Basically the ball, if it does bounce, must be in line, or on the offside (which is what happened in the pitch). Impact refers to the impact of the ball on the pads. Basically, the ball when it hits the pads of the batter, must be in line, unless the batter does not attempt a shot at the ball. Hitting is self explanatory, if its hitting, then its out (unless umpires call ofc)

The whole point of those things being part of the laws is because its increasingly difficult to predict whether the ball has/will go on to hit the stumps in these scenarios, so rather than have an ump stick a finger in the air and guess, its taken out of their hands. Keep in mind hawkeye SEEMS infallible because we instinctively believe that what it tells us is exactly what would have happened, but this is not so. Its a great guess but like any complex system its subject to initial condition bias. The frames used to determine the pitch of the ball and the impact of the ball have an outsized effect on the accuracy of the system and just like with humans umps the predictions get less and less accurate the more uncertain these inputs are.
