Cricket at Youtube

Just watched some Cricket at Youtube, guess what I heard?

chirp, chirp, chirp.

P-

I'm rubbing my knees in anticipation!

If a cricket knocks over some lincoln logs and tinker toys on an oval lawn and no one is around to see or hear, does it make a noise?

First movie was very interesting. Another few posts like these and I might understand the game. I thought there were 3 bases... home, and one on the right and left. ??? I never realized there was so much playing field (pitch) behind a batter.

Second movie, this happens to be the movie I watched that made me start this thread. Looks like a pop fly bunt to a third baseman in MLB... (ie. No big deal)

Here is a real catch:

Nice one P.

I found the following inciteful comments on the internet:

Cricket is a crock.


I watched less than 30 minutes of this poor-excuse-for-a-sport and I want my time back. I could’ve used more brain cells watching The Jerry Springer Show.

My main gripes? Cricket players wear dorky ultra-white leisure suits, take tea breaks every few hours, and a batsman can drive in 100-plus runs per at bat, yielding final scores like 5 billion to 4.6 billion.

Worse yet, cricket fans sip champagne instead of cheap beer.

In one of the most appalling moments in sports history, I watched a cricketeer — like a Mouseketeer, just less athletic — limp off the field after a “gruesome” mid-game injury. The commentators scrambled through video clips between sipping tea, replaying the incident from every imaginable angle. Several terrifying minutes passed before they could pinpoint the cause of damage.

No, it wasn’t an ankle sprain. Maybe a pulled hamstring or an ACL strain?

Finally, the diagnosis arrived. The player had suffered a career-threatening bee sting on his butt.

I could rustle up something like this for baseball as well.

I think americans and the rest of the world should just accept that we won't ever 'understand' each other's games...

These are some awesome catches and some good fielding. Note the lack of the HUGE glove:

So, is the batsman out, or what?

First video is good, aggressive bowling, Aussie whingers.

Second is funny.
But when is the last time you saw a long stop?

Yeah, in primary school this was an essential fielding position.

Was he even looking?

Yeah, that's an out... and I believe they got the guy at first also. You can't advance if the ball is caught, and must go back to your original base. This was a long double play.

Watch the guy at first base, gets the tag on the bag and calls the guy out to save the ump some time! Sweet.
