Same. Suddenly subscribed to Willow TV and watching cricket non-stop 😅. Why isn't this sport more popular in the US? Its great!
... I've just learned more about cricket in last 4 minutes than I have in the 30 years I've been alive. Thanks!

That was an epic game for sure.
🤣🤣🤣👌👌
confusing times
😂 BEST COMMENT OF 2019 😂
Hahaha ! You are funny
Anyone here after the US won
Yup😂
Holy cow, it's not nearly as complicated as I always believed! Or maybe nobody just explained it well before.
Nobody explained it well
the reason no one knows the rules is cus cricket sucks lol. the people that play in the fields near me are dirt bags who shit in the bushes, and leave garbage everywhere.. shitty sport/people.
kemp yeah everyone knew baseball sucks, it has nothing hot the ball and run, where cricket you need to plan, to save wickets, the baseball is full toss no swing, where cricket has, inswing, outswing, Yorker, bouncer and also full toss, ball, also spin(offspin, legspin, dusura, googly)
@@sriganeshganta3256 the fuk u talkin bout?? baseball is 100x better than cricket bitch.
@@sriganeshganta3256 hot the ball? you mean HIT the ball ganesh. fuck cricket
As an American with a Latino father, I grew up with baseball. It always seemed simple. Until I thought about explaining it to someone who hadn't known the game all their lives. Cricket has always been a mystery, and seemed like a similarly confusing proposition for someone to explain. But you broke it down in a way even I could understand. Great job.
+Jim Rodriguez Cool, thanks Jim - I'm glad you found this video useful. Cricket isn't nearly as complicated as they think it is, and once you see a few T20 games, the rules will become clear. But don't make the mistake in thinking that it's a different version of baseball: it's not! Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Come to India you learn it yourself.
@@NinhLyUK but cricket is the older cousin to the beautiful game of baseball. I would love to try cricket someday
@Warren552011 that's awesome!
I've had this thought many times about baseball. To an outsider it must seem like a truly bizarre game.
As a young man, I Always thought Cricket was a boring game mainly because of its reputation. Having played American Baseball and being a life long fan, I have recently been watching Cricket matches and frustrated by not knowing the rules. This video was exactly what I needed. With this basic understanding of rules, I can begin to learn the strategies of the game. It increases my desire to watch more Cricket matches. Thank you.
Thanks Ken, much appreciated.
A lot of Americans make the mistake of watching it and trying to compare it to Baseball.
Once you realise that it isn't, it becomes a lot easier to grasp. And the strategy that goes with it.

I didn’t think cricket could be so exciting until I watched this years IPL final. I arbitrarily decided to support MI for the game and found myself getting giddy with anticipation during that last over. Great stuff.

I just spent 1.5 hours reading Cricket rules and definitions before I stumbled upon this perfect video that provided the same information in 4 minutes. LOL Nice vid! Thanks!
Thanks Greg. I try and make all my videos easy to understand. Be sure to check out some of my others for more like this.
yeah the wikipedia article is kinda shit
Those are called Laws, not Rules.
Greg, reading the rules regarding a game, any game, is something overrated IMO. Watching the game and videos like this are the best way to get it.
I have trouble with the understanding of cricket. I became more curious about the sport after seeing the mayhem on the internet about the 2019 world cup final. In my homecountry (Brazil), I only saw one youtuber talking about cricket and it was because he could talk about anything you ask him (his nickname is the book), and I saw a video he made talking about the Indian Super League and how this is something every fan of alternative sports (for us brazilians) should follow. Hell man, cricket here can be defined as afterthought in streaming, with broadcasts only in english.
But I'm trying. I hope I can get it someday
At first, I did not understand cricket, because I'd never seen a game or played it. Then, I read a guide online that explained all the rules of cricket, and I understood cricket even less. After watching this video, I kind of somewhat understand cricket. So...my understanding of cricket skyrocketed after watching this.

If u Ever come to India ....Come when there's IPL going On ...Go to a Stadium

@@Sebastian_1177 bro that's 200 runs and 10 wickets of the same team not the other's team score. Plz do check some IPL matches they are very exciting. And last Year's world cup final ,one of the best match in history ,both team made the same score twice.
@@Sebastian_1177 btw where are u from?😇

+assassin8or Ah, you noticed that huh? I guess it's one of the 'fun' aspects of Cricket. Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Ninh Ly for caught out and stumped out people normally just say caught and stumped and a team can declare we're if they have a lot of runs the captain calls the batters in then bowl if the other team scores less than a certain amount the team that batted first can send the other team back in straight away but if the team gets enough runs to win the game ends because the team gave up there 2 innings ps i know this because I play cricket
assassin8or you are weird

@@khalidmahmood858 It's actually a very well known sport, but the participation critically low compared to it's counterparts as rugby,baseball and football.
The fact that there's a 5 day format pretty much scares away anyone who who wishes to compete in cricket lol.
As an American who grew up with baseball, this sport was always intriguing to me. Glad to finally understand the basics of it!
Crciket is not inticate as baseball its quite simple
@Zues R : Not really. Baseball is simple. Cricket has too much going on with it. The batter has three chances to score a run and a fourth if the pitcher throws the ball outside of the plate. Four balls is an automatic run to a base. Three strikes ( swing and miss or hits out of bounds is an out. You get three outs to an inning. You switch sides at every inning up to nine innings. The amount of scoring you can do depends on your pitcher and your hitters.
Baseball favors the runner, hitter and a good pitcher.
So, basically, a sport for hitters who never understood the idea of a strike zone :D
I follow tennis and football with great interest but nothing beats the thrill of watching a cricket match. Absolutely one of the best games to play and watch!
Thanks for the comments!

I always wanted to know how cricket worked pretty interesting...
Ok
Here in the Kansas City, Missouri area (USA) there is a cricket league that seems to be gaining more and more traction. I haven't been to a match yet, but look forward to it. Especially now that I have a better understanding. Thank you, it was fast (and had to rewatch it) but has been the best explanation that anyone has given to me, again, thank you!
Any time! I'm glad this video helped. If you're struggling with the speed, you can play the video back slower using the playback buttons.
Snap! I live in the US and never knew that
watch a T20 cricket match.
Recently USA defeated Ireland (Full member team) in a t20 match. It's a very big achievement for USA. Congratulations
Thank you very much. This was a clear explanation and demonstration of rules that I did not understand at all . I am an American who recently became interested in cricket because of PG Wodehouse and a movie called Warriors. That movie is amazing . It is about a team of Masai warriors who became excellent cricket players and made it to the finals in the Last Man Standing tournament at Lords in London .
Cool, thanks Carol. Glad you found this video useful.

These are some of the basic rules about cricket. It is not a very difficult sport to learn. There are a whole lot of rules than this. I'm American and I been following cricket for over 5 years and know a lot of cricket history. The only way people are going to learn about the sport is to watch it. If you watch a day of a test match, you should be able to get most of the rules. Beginners should watch T-20 first before moving on to other formats. The more often you watch the sport, the more you will learn including the field positions which will take time to learn. I like first class (Test and four day cricket) and limited overs (50 and 20 overs cricket). I've spoken to several people back home about cricket and they know what it is. I'm currently following the Ashes and expecting a big series between India and South Africa especially the 4 match test series which will occur near the end of the year. I learn most of the stuff by watching test matches.
Da Undaground Mane Hey brother, thanks for stopping by. Excellent advice for all those Cricketing newbies out there. The key point: is just start watching games. Like you said: most people will learn the majority of it just by watching a test match. Cheers :)
This game doesn’t have a lot of rules, it has LAWS :-)
What channels can you watch cricket on in the USA I can’t find any
Test is slow
ODI is fast
T20 is superfast
I hope you watch yesterday's cricket world cup final
Test Cricket is Best Cricket!
But yeah, a newbie should start from T20.
Have been watching Cricket since 1990's and can clearly say you have explained the Game in a nutshell and elegantly with all major points
I never knew what cricket was. Than I watch this video and i find out that I used to play it in the streets of Brazil as a child. We call it "taco" which means "bat" or "club"
Yes, I believe it's played in other countries under different names! Thanks.
Some years ago in Grand Cayman a friend and I sat for several hours watching a game of Cricket. I thought if I sat and watched long enough I'd understand. That was not the case. You explanation was very informative, many thanks

Cricket came home atlast after football and rugby 🏴
Certainly did.
Hmm New Zealand won tbh 😝
won by number of boundaries not runs...lol
Yeah it came home but it is a shame half of English people who were watching cricket world cup final do even the rules of cricket it a national shame for England

I watched this video some months ago because I wished to finally understand the game of cricket. Since then, I have started watching it regularly and with great enjoyment. So thank you!
Where are you from dude ?.what matches did you watch ?
Traveling in India now. Had to watch once and for all lol. Helpful. Thanks! 😎👌🇮🇳
Hitting the ball into your partner's wickets is NOT automatically out and it is NOT counted as hit wicket.
The way it works is, if you hit the ball, and it hits someone on the fielding team, and then hits your partener's stumps WHILE he's out the crease, it gets given as a RUN out
+Warren552011 yeah that's out
I remember that game,it was zampa in bbl,it was also the melbourne derby I guess.
Agreed, that was a bad (and incorrect) example of hit wicket. That poor chap would only lose his wicket if an opposing player had touched the ball before hitting the stumps. And even in this case it would be a run-out, not a hit wicket. Example of hit wicket is when the batsman loses his balance while making their shot and falls onto the stumps, knocking them down.
Warren552011 yeah I remember zamps getting smashed in the face. What a champion though because he got back up and kept playing
What?
Cricket is not just a sport, it’s an art.
Once you really start to understand minutiae of it, there is no other sport as addictive as cricket.
You could say that about any sport, but Cricket is cool.

Omar Tedmori You're welcome Omar, I'm glad you now understand Cricket. Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Hey Great Video! Just two corrections in Rule #6 at 2:04
1) Hit Wicket - is when the batter inadvertently hits his own stumps with the bat or any part of his body in the process of hitting the ball.
2)You CANNOT make your partner out by hitting the ball onto your partner’s stumps as you showed in the video. What happened in that particular clip was that the batter (the striker) hit the ball back towards the stumps at his partner’s (the non-striker) end and the bowler made contact with the ball before it went on to hit the stumps. As the non striker was out of his crease when the ball hit the stumps, he was given out and this form of dismissal would come under “RUN OUT” credited to the bowler and NOT the batter who struck the ball.
Shaurya Negi: Exactly. Although it's very simplified, a lot of this video will be helpful for people starting to get to know the game. But the part of the video about "Hit Wicket, Accidentally Out" is so completely wrong that you have to wonder what the video maker was thinking.
Hit Wicket has nothing to do with the stumps at the non-striker's end. Hit Wicket is the batter hitting their own stumps while playing the ball or setting off for a run immediately after playing the ball.
The ball being deflected onto the non-striker's stumps is a different law altogether and is a Run-Out. And it has to be deflected from someone, not just hit the stumps. There is no such law as accidentally out, and they are always called Laws, not Rules.
Thanks you so much., now I can enjoy the joy of watching cricket with family 😊❤
thanks for the vid! I was watching an Australian cricket match just now and this clarified a lot. i find the game very interesting and wish it were televised more here in the US
I've watched Cricket on and off over the years ...just started watching the international replay of the 1st ODI of international cricket between the powerhouses of New Zealand and Pakistan..I am hooked on learning the many dynamics of this game. Now I am seriously considering giving it a try..maybe find a good trainer and possibly join an amature club somewhere. I am American and not as familiar as some people with the sport...but I figure it's a goal worth tryin....love watching it as well!

So easy video to understand it has explained everything so well and the only thing I could not understand was about getting stumped out now I understand. Cricket is way better than football because I am stoke fan but lost interest in football now and stoke have dropped into the championship they were in the premier league they have turned so rubbish now that’s why I don’t bother with football just a bunch of guys running round a pitch and getting paid ridiculous money but as I said great video.👍🏻😃💯💯💯
Thanks Tyler, much appreciated. Glad this video helps you understand Cricket.

You should probably mention that the batsmen do not have to run. It's an important distinction from baseball.
Hi James.
No they don't really have to run especially with the 4's and 6's, I mentioned this at 0:52 of the video.
Thanks anyway!
Ninh Ly Sorry, I think you misunderstood. What I mean is that unlike in baseball if you hit it but feel you can't make a run you don't have to make the attempt.
James Burtton Oh yeah. That I did forget to mention. Thanks!
James Burtton
Nonetheless they do for no reason... 😂😂😂
watch...test cricket....and see ...the batsman is sitting or running or.....hitting 4s and 6s only?? go and tell me.....test....is,,,,vey difficult format in the game....baseball is nothg!!
even tho i'm american and we don't play cricket that much, like some of us from other do play it a little, but not like in international thing it's not that popular from here, but i do want to play cricket it looks fun, and yes i did find this video helpful and i understand everything you said, really interesting.

schradeya Cool, I'm glad this video helped you out! Cricket is actually an easy game, it just needs explaining properly. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Ninh Ly Yeah it does actually seem pretty simple! And I kept thinking, "Ohhh, that's where baseball gets that rule/word/whatever!" One huge difference between Cricket and American sports in general is that we like to artificially stop our games periodically (so we can play ads on TV), but Cricket lets things happen naturally. There is no way an at-bat in baseball could last longer than 7 pitches maximum; we either move the man off the field or on base if it goes further. And they often lst only one pitch! Therefore, innings, and to near extent, games, all last about the same predictable amount of time. But it looks like at-bats in Cricket can last aaaaages! I've always wondered how the matches can last so long, but now I know!
schradeya Especially in Test Cricket, it seems to take aaaaaages to actually play the damn game. But it's not so bad in T20 Cricket, as there's strict time penalties - they have to hurry it up!
Glad you managed to understand Cricket a little more. It's definitely not like Baseball!
Ninh Ly I'm so glad I found this video. You really have a knack for taking confusing things and putting them into words anybody can understand! I really, really want to sit down and watch a good match now!!! Maybe not a test match... ;) I don't have that kind of time!
Yeah, it's NOTHING like baseball!! Well, a _tiny tiny_ bit, in that there are a few words that baseball took from Cricket (I assume), and there is a ball that gets thrown, haha!
schradeya You'll find that Cricket and Baseball have shared origins. But that's about the only similarity you'll find.
I'd recommend watching a T20 game before you head on over to Test Cricket. That'll ease you in for the long long long long long time that a Cricket match is actually played.
Thanks again for the compliments! :)
Very nice, thanks. It seems the basics are reasonably straightforward. Whew...

Hello everyone. I'm a famous professional British cricketer here. And the explanation here is perfect.
Ben Stokes you here wow. 😍
This is awesome! I love how you made it so detailed! This will help me write my final paper about cricket! Thanks so much!
It's funny -- here in the States, everyone who watches baseball says they can't follow Cricket, but it seems to me that baseball is the FAR more complicated game of the two. But this video is fantastic.
Thanks Brent, I appreciate that. Yes, Cricket is actually quite simple if it's explained to you properly. Baseball is infinitely more complicated! Be sure to check out my other videos.
I think you're right. The moment cricket finally clicked with me, I thought, "My goodness, this game is almost moronically simple. Maybe that was the whole reason why I couldn't make sense of it." Meanwhile, I still can't quite figure out baseball.
Indeed! It is surprisingly simple.
Baseball is too, but you have to watch a few games to know what's going on. (Made a video about that too).
I think it is all about perspectives!
Im jazzed up for MLC in the US next year. Thank you for the explanation. learned a few things I didn't know and got a nice refresher!
This is easily the best explanation I’ve watched for cricket. Thank you for not over-complicating it.
Thankyou for your help with the knowledge of cricket greatly appreciated :)
It's incredible how detailed you manage to explain these sports in such a short amount of time, and still keep it simple and easy to understand. It really helped me with my mock-exam so I hope you continue your great work, Thanks!
Thanks Elias, I'm glad you like my work! I try and make learning about stuff fun ... and short! Be sure to subscribe and check out some of my other stuff!
Man, I have to explain cricket to my class in Sweden, since not many people know about it here, and I just couldn't explain as well as you. Thanks for giving me a foundation of how to explain it and I will also show the class the video.

Fun fact: in the early years (late 1800's to early 1900's), baseballs were stitched like cricket balls are now, once around the circumference of the ball. The 'figure-8' stitching pattern for baseballs was developed later.
Yes, that's true!
Just getting started with the game and this video is a huge blessing! Thank you Ninh!

Thanks bro, much appreciated.

This is way simpler than I expected to be. You did a great job.
Thank you for this video on the rules. As an American that likes baseball, I always enjoyed watching cricket highlights (seeing stuff get hit with a bat is fun😀), but never knew how the game worked. Now I do.
Cool, I'm glad you found this video helpful! Cricket confuses most Americans, but once you understand that it's nothing like Baseball, it's easier to grasp. Cheers :)
Extremely concise, but detailed, video. I enjoyed it. I know most of the rules, but I did rewind a couple of parts to hear them again because of the quick speed. I've bookmarked this video for times when people ask how to play cricket.
