• Shane Warne's Top 10 W... - Sport
What these highlights don’t reveal is all the patient setup and mind games that goes into getting a wicket. Shane was a legend.
Or how he could turn a game. For me, it will always be the 3/6 he took against the West Indies in the World Cup semi final where he and McGrath and Fleming took a game that looked completely lost and won it.
Sledger of the century :) Miss the bloke, not just as the spin king. His personality was very nearly on par to Steve Irwin.
Also missing what most spin bowlers look like in comparison. And all the times he sets up with a bunch of regular leg breaks and then gets them with the flipper.
@@fliptopia357 love the ones where he floats down leg, over eye level and wide of leg. Bowled leg stump.
Heard recently he never bowled a wrong-un to Wasim Akram for years , then bowled one. Got him out of course. He played a long game…
Yo, what's good, Johnny Basement sir, here's a cricket video that you should react to, and i hope you enjoy it, but i will let you be the judge of that. It's called The Best Catches Ever/ Cricket's Greatest 40 Catches As Voted By You (By CZcamsr England and Wales Cricket Board). Hope you like and enjoy it, and I will try to see if there are any other better good cricket video catches out there.
There will never be another like him. That's a fact. Easily the smartest cricketer who ever lived and a top bloke to boot.
What is it in the water in Australia, that produces cricketers like Warne and Don Bradman?
@@jgraaay18nothing. Most Australians played football in winter then cricket in summer.
All Men Have 1 Moment Or 2🫢Legends Have Many☝️All Sports❤More World🙏
@@jasonfleming3328 I'm aware! Two great sports; I may be a Brit (also an Australian citizen by inheritance, mind) who's never lived in Australia, but as far as I'm concerned footy's the greatest game on earth. Maybe it's just in the blood?
Shane Warne was to cricket what Barrie Robran was to Aussie Rules.(the greatest Australian Rules Footballer ever -there will never be another like him)
Sharne Warne was one of the best spin bowlers in the world . He is an iconic figure not only in Aussie cricket but in world sport . He was a character off the field , enjoying a beer and a ciggy . Very competitive on the field but then happy to have a beer and chat after the game . He also played Aussie rules footy at StKilda in the under 19 comp . It was a very sad day when he passed for world cricket . Note : When the batsmen is out , another batsmen from the pavilion comes out to bat and join the other batsmen who is at the other end . Good to see you showing cricket some love 😊 R.I.P Warnie
No, not 'one of the best'. Easily the best ever. Bowling without chucking it too...
It's not only the spin when it hits the ground, the reason why Warney was so hard to face was the drift in the air before it lands, moves more than a curve ball.
and its going 90km/h
@dacoolboysuperhuman7684 and it might be a flipper instead
@@dacoolboysuperhuman7684 Warne rarely bowled a ball that fast, his was mostly between 75 and 80kmh.
The delivery at #3 was Shane Warne's first in England and he bowled the English Captain, Mike Gatting, out. The delivery is known by two names: 'The Gatting Ball' or more often as "The Ball of The Century".
And Mike Gatting was no mug. 4500 runs at an average of 35.
@@davidanderson4876 Additionally Gatting was selected as a known expert against spin. While SKW had not bowled a test ball in England, they knew Australia had a special spin bowler, so Gatting was bought in to better him. The rest is history.
Also known as "The Jaffa", or just "That Ball".
And yeah, Gatting just had no idea what he was up against. Stood there confused for a few seconds because he assumed they were appealing for a stumping. Fair play to him, there's just nothing you can do against something so utterly unexpected.
Wasn’t the Gatting ball Warnies first delivery in a test match against the Poms
@@pamelasparkes-bm5oz Yes the first delivery in England in a test match. He did bowl in previous games, but they asked him to tone it down for the warm up games.
Shane Warne the most feared and respected spin bowler in the world.
Mate! I can watch Warnie’s highlights everyday and not stop smiling.
Glad you liked it. Great reaction and *great* tshirt!
Up the Irons!
@@marcgaskett ✊🏼🤘🏼
And he didn’t rely on any birth defects like others to get that ball to defy batsmen.
One thing you don't see there is the leg-spinner's other delivery that goes the other way. It's called the "googly", but also the "wrong 'un", and less commonly now the "bosie" in honour of the English 'inventor' B. J. T. Bosanquet.
Because of serious shoulder surgery in the second half of his career, Warne rarely bowled the googly, because of the extra strain on the shoulder. However he was able to convince a lot of batsmen that he was turning up with a whole box of tricks; he understand the psychology of bowling at the batsman's mind and at the same time they got distracted by thinking "This is Shane Warne" rather than seeing him as just another bowler with the same ball in his hand.
The thing you gotta know bro is its not just the wicket-taking ball itself, the one that gets the guy out, but its all the other balls leading up to it to put the batsman into a certain state of being either mistakenly sure of something he's doing or uncertainty on which ball to play at and which to leave
The Gatting dismissal was called the ball of the century, and it was. I have been a cricket fan for 63 years and never witnessed anything like it.
Two of my favorite things on Earth. Iron Maiden and Shane Warne🤘🤘
Warnies ripping big leg breaks were amazing but for me, his flipper was just a work of art. And 5 day test match cricket is the absolute pinnacle.
Most of his charity and community work was not known until he passed away, he was truly an extraordinary human being! 😪 And loved everywhere, noone resented his success, and all ages benefitted from his free advice! 🤗
HIs kids are now doing a great charity in his legacy getting people to have their hearts checked.
@@carked5707 Yes, his kids are very articulate and great embassadors, he must also have been a great father!
Cricket has many different types of bowling. Pure speed, that might get some reverse swing, slightly slower swing bowling, and then we have the “slow” such as the spinners. We have leg spin, off spin and wrist/finger spin. The slower bowlers with the turn off the pitch, are used to slow down the run scoring because the batsmen never know which way the ball might turn. Warne had a way of getting inside the batsman’s head. As a leg spinner, he also had a wonderful repertoire of different pitches/deliveries. I watched him play for all his career. GOAT! And once he retired from all forms of play, a great commentator too. RIP.
The greatest leg spinner ever, from me, an Englishman. Warne = GOAT!
One thing that you may not know about Shane Warne played AFL for St. Kilda but was dropped when he finished under 19's so he put all his time into cricket and the team to follow is The Melbourne Stars it's the team that Shane Warne played for and it's the team that plays at The MCG
The brilliance of Warnie was that he could land the ball where he wanted to more consistently than anyone, turn it both ways, and also had many other variations to his deliveries.
He also was very good at working out how a batsman thought and executing a plan to get him out
He was the best ever.
RIP Warnie ❤🇦🇺🦘😎🍻
Leg Spin Bowling is a very difficult skill to master. What make Shane a master is his consistent accuracy. This bogs batsmen down then he use variations to beat the batsmen.
I'm giving you a like not because of your comment (which I would have done anyway) but because of your profile picture. Carn the pear!!!!
If your team was playing against him, you hated him for how good he was. BUT as a cricket fan, you LOVED him for how good he was!
Shane warne was loved by so many.. even people who didn’t follow cricket knew who shane was..he was also a fantastic cricket commentator after he retired..he was such a funny bloke and was a great friend to many people from all walks of life… he met Ed Sherrin in an elevator apparently and they become friends with shane playing some cricket with Ed and his friends..Nathan Lyon is about to get 500 wickets which is a lot for a spin bowler and I just wish Shane was here to commentate on it 😢 RIP Shane and Rod Marsh another aussie legend
Shane never gave up on a game. He always had the mindset that we could win this game even if the stats were against us. Great player, great commentator, greatly missed 😇
Usually spin bowlers try to land the ball in the foot marks where the surface has been roughed up. This provides grip for the ball allowing greater spin action. Shane, as shown here, bowls around the legs of the right hand batsmen.
What truly made Shane Warne a great cricketer was his "will to win." He was one of those special sportsmen that produced the goods when it really mattered!
You got it... straight arm bowl through with plenty of finger action... "Warneee" was the best spin bowler and quite a larikin. There is a great video where Shane describes how he puts action on the different spins that he used.... you would enjoy it. And yes, TEST Cricket is like watching a chess game.... very slow but also very strategic. Nice one!
Warney was the absolute 👑
Things you should note about bowling. There are usually three types of bowlers in a cricket team: fast bowlers, medium pace bowlers, and slow bowlers. Spin bowlers are usually classed as slow bowlers. Top fast bowlers bowl up to 90 -100mph. Medium pacers less than that. Slow bowlers (spinners) are generally slow. Shane Warne was freakish, not only because he could cause the ball to bite into the pitch & deviate huge amounts, but also because of the way he would flight the ball. Top batsmen can usually pick, by watching the bowlers hand, what the delivery will do: go left or right, or go straight on. In Warne’s case, even the best, world-class batsmen found it really difficult to guess which way the ball would turn. Added to this, even though Warne was classed as a slow bowler, he was able to change up, change down, the speed of the delivery. This meant the batsmen would suddenly get a well-disguised ball that was either much faster, or much slower than he was expecting. By any measure Shane Warne was an absolute champion of the game. Talking of which, maybe look up another cricketer named Don Bradman. Batsmen are rated by their batting averages over test matches. Anyone who manages a batting average over their career of more than 50 is a champion. Bradman had a career average of 99.4. No-one has ever come close.
I enjoy the fact people who are indifferent or don't know the rules are reacting to the skill of cricket. Spin bowlers like Shane Warne bowl at 75-95km and extreme fast bowlers bowl at 150km-162km. It is a fascinating sport with multiple variations including the OG test games, ODI (one day cricket) and T20. Each variation has it's skill sets that can entice different people to different styles of gameplay.
Watch the Big Bash League 20/20 cricket which starts this week in Australia. Good for a beginner to watch. It's only a 3hr game.
It is always entertaining listening to Americans discussing cricket!
Rodney Marsh was a bloody legend and that was forgotten when Shane Warne passed. I was pissed off and it still shits me
Those two sportsmen were in a different generation and should BOTH have been acknowledged and celebrated !
Why does it upset you? Rod Marsh still got the kudos and acknowledgements he deserved. What happened was just life. We lost Andrew Symonds as well around the same time. Rod Marsh was the first prototype for a modern wicketkeeper - an all rounder who could bat a bit. His keeping to begin wth was pretty ordinary - but he ended up one of Australia's best. He ended his career with only 3 test centuries and an average of 22 odd but the way he scored his runs could change a game. So his record doesn't really hold up against guys like Gilchrist, Sangakarra, de Kock, de Villiers etc but before him wicketkeepers weren't required to bat much.
@@mondotv4216 No mondo, I meant that when Marsh died basically about the time Warnie passed, that the media all of a sudden forgot about Rodney Marsh. Rodney Marsh was one of our best wicket keepers and an earlier generation to Warnie. Both brilliant in their field. A little respect would have been nice by the media and the MCC.
He was simply the best Johnny! Miles ahead of anybody else and leg spin bowling is the hardest type of bowling to have any form of control of. He was a legend!!! Excellent review. Go Blues!
Cricket is really complex in all its rules and different rules for the different formats of the game. The traditional version is the Test Cricket played internationally between the varying countries, but other formats have been created in "modern" times to provide a more exciting and consumable experience for spectators. It started in the 1970's with One Day International cricket (ODI) where the number of overs (set of six bowls) was capped at 50 overs per team. So essentially each team (11 players) has only one innings each to get as many runs as possible from 50 overs. Each team member must bat, and as each batsman gets "out" then he is replaced by the next batsman. The innings is complete either when the 50 overs are complete, or if 10 batsman are out, because the last remaining batsman cannot continue alone.
The more recent domestic version of the game is T20 where the overs are capped to 20 overs per innings. This makes for a match that's really fast paced and where the batsmen are taking far greater risks to gather as many runs as quick as possible. The teams in this format resemble something similar to the AFL teams of Brisbane, Adelaide, Sydney etc.
Don't get too deep in the weeds to start with Johnny or you will just get confused between the different formats of the game. Try looking at T20 to start with as these are matches that are not subject to all the fair play and sportsmanship rules of traditional Test Cricket but do have a few unique rules which are designed to keep the match fast and entertaining.
Teams must balance their players based on the skills of batting, bowling, fielding and then choose a wicket keeper. Obviously, some players will be outstanding batsman and will never be allowed to bowl a single ball, but other players, like Shane Warne, are on the team for his bowling skills, but he can also be relied upon to contribute to the overall run tally. Because there are limits to how many overs a single bowler can bowl, then the team is going to need a few all-rounders on the team that can rack up the runs, but also deliver a nasty ball at an opposition team.
Hi Johnny. When the bowler bowls the ball and it hits the stumps and dislodges at least one bail, that batsmen is out. Fun fact. When the bowler hits the wood heap (slang for stumps) and knocks a stump out of the ground, they really love that (see number two with Saeed Anwar). Another fun fact. Number three (Mike Gatting) is known as the “ball of the century”. Historic as it was Shane’s first ball on English soil. However, number one (Andrew Strauss) is an absolute peach!
PS. Love the fact that you have a Brisbane Lions jersey hanging up there!
It's great to see these highlights but it makes more sense in the context of a match.. He can make the ball turn a mile but he can make it go straight.. Bounce, stay low and drift through the air etc. He was a master at setting a trap for the batsman. He would mix a his deliveries so much that the batter never knew what to expect. That's why they so often looked completely confused
The amazing thing is that none of those batters were bad...they were all good batsman / cricketers.
Like all ledgends in Sport, Shane wanted the ball, he was agressive and loved the pressure of big moments!
There's also a few master-class videos where he shows the grip he used and some of the different variations he used.
Not only was he a brilliant bowler he was also very good at getting in some batsman's heads and playing a few mind games with them. He was always entertaining to watch.
You should check out Shane Warne's tutorial online where he explains how he does his different type of spin. Amazing break down.
Yes I think this video is an absolute must as it shows there isn’t just one type of leg spin and also highlights the trickery involved ie the batsman doesn’t know what is coming !
If you do watch a game, things to remember:
* 6 legal balls per over
* Runs are frequent, outs are rare
* The batsmen switch when they run to the other end.
* The bowling end of the pitch swaps every over.
Just to clarify incase Johnny reads this comment. The batsman that switch when the run is made is the non striker and the striker.
The only time a batsman switches with someone from the dugout is when a batsman is considered out.
Key to avoiding confusion is being very specific.
The leg spin delivery is only on of a variety of deliveries that Warne bowled. He had 6 types of delivery the leg break which spins from right to left, the Wrong-un or Googley which looks like the leg break but spins the other way from left to right, the Top Spinner which bounces higher and comes onto the batsman faster and doesn't spin, the Slider which pitches and goes straight on, the Flipper that pitches short stays low and hurries onto the batsman. All of these deliveries have a slightly different hand position or grip. The Flipper is the hardest one to bowl. Go have a look at the Shane Warne leg-spin tutorial in this video he explains each delivery in detail and how to bowl it. You will really enjoy it
Warnie. A StK man we won't hold that against him. Lived on baked beans and vegemite sandwiches. Ran around England bonking whoever he could find. Liz Hurley fell in love with him. The greatest bowler in the games history. A god amongst men.
Great reaction and love the shirt
Loved your reaction, keep up the good work. Thanks
6:15,, the commentator mentioned "hitting the up the hill" Pitches are generally flat but it does have small irregularities that can change during the day with weather and wear from the players. This is classic Shane who picked the irregularity and nailed it
Nobody better, we all, Aussie's, the cricket world, 🏏 and now because of you and others doing reactions. Will miss him hugely. He was, is simply the best. Glad that others are meeting Warnie and seeing what magic he could do. 🇦🇺
Love your passion for sport, Johnny and your wanting to learn about cricket. it’s a great game
Warnie was so popular, obviously because of his incredible skill as a bowler, but also because of his larrikin personality. He liked to sledge the opposition. With Shane, what you saw was what you got. He was a bit controversial throughout his career, some of his actions off the field and in the stands got up some people's noses or were somewhat outside the rules or expected behavior. He was a very kind person apparently and Australian's would call his a "true ocker" or "genuine bloke". RIP Shane, gone way too young.
i loved rowing up with Warnie bowling........ i also really enjoyed Monty Panesar ? ..... he was a joy to watch..... always enjoyed himself...
Tests are way better to watch. Its exciting when someone has batted for two days and reaches a milestone or a bowler bowls for hrs and finally figures out how to bowl a batter out!
Glad you picked up on the nuance of ball movement in Cricket, much like the nuance of different pitches in Baseball.
Sounds like you are determined to get your head around this sport.
It's hard to find a full game to watch on CZcams, my only recommendation is the highlights of the Glenn Maxwell innings against Afghanistan a Month ago, a masterclass.
@Johnny awesome work bro. love the Maiden shirt and the Magpies in the background 🙂
As a Kiwi who's supposed to hate my Aussie cuzzies, lol....I loved Warnie...an absolute freak and legend. I once had the joy of having a few beers with him which made me admire him more.The only bowler in the modern game where you were always on your seat expecting a wicket, not just containment but all out attack every ball all the time.
Only missing the Mike Getting delivery, considered the greatest delivery in test cricket, a real beaut!
The third last wicket was Shane's first ball in Ashes Test Cricket .
The game to watch to understand the 50 over game is the CWC ( Cricket World Cup ) 2023 Australia versus Afghanistan . The game is legendary in Recent history.
All forms of Cricket involve 2 teams of 11 players .
There is 3 forms .
1 : 20/20 . twenty overs of six balls plus extras meaning bolwing mistakes cost runs . Total of one side against the second team batting score highest wins 4-6 hours generally .
2: 50 overs x 6 balls plus extras . Same again both score , highest total wins . @ 8-12 hours to complete .
3: 5 day test . Two teams of eleven bat till ten get out , this happens twice per team . So to win a test you need to take 20 wickets in 5 days and score the most runs combined from both innings . Again extras from bowling mistakes add to the totals .
The person facing the bowler is out 4 ways , 1: bowled (ball hits stumps )2 : caught ( ball hits bat and caught b4 hitting the ground , 3 : LBW ( leg b4 wicket) hit pads on legs without touching the bat first . Technology now can predict that . 4: Stumped ( Wicket keeper , man behind stumps takes bails off with batter outside of the crease . The line on the pitch on inside of both ends . As long as some part of the batter is behind the line at each end they can't be Stumped . 5: Run Out ( fielder throws at stumps during a run and one batsman is short of his line and his stumps those closest are broken.
Hope that's enough to make the 3 forms enjoyable to watch .
Yo American Footy, to answer your question. Yes. When the bowler (like a pitcher in baseball) throws the ball at the wickets and when it hits those wickets, that batter gets bowled out and the next batter from bench comes on to the field bat
Just the best. And this didn't even have his flipper - the one that topspins and goes on straight. I strongly recommend Shane's tutorial on how to bowl legspin - clear and easy to understand, and makes for a great reaction. Thanks for reacting matey
I live in Australia and love my cricket this showed up on my you tube and you did a good job on this vid you would love the science of cricket
Thanks for showing.....Just not enough there to do him justice. Being Aussies, we got to see him the most . And it is true ... You need to watch him set the batsman up... Such a great cricket brain.
Mate, thank you for enjoying cricket. There is so much content regarding cricket out there, please enjoy and share as much as you can.
And to eliminate confusion, when cricketers say pitched, it’s where the ball lands on the wicket(also known as pitch) and from where it hits the deck, that’s when the deviation or trajectory changes, in any cricket team, every bowler is usually uniquely a different action, wether it’s off cutters leg cutter, swing bowler then there’s the medium pacers who have all kinds of tricks. Spinners come in all shapes and sizes also, usually divided by two groups. Finger spinners or wrist spin. Shane was right hand leg wrist spin, the hardest of all to master. A batsman hits a non bounced ball called a full toss. Basically a free hit. That’s why baseball is considered beneath cricket
I followed his career from his early days playing for my state team, all the way through to his retirement. I honestly didn't like him as a person, but as a cricketer he was absolutely incredible. He had remarkable skills with the ball, but he also had a phenomenal cricketing intelligence. The combination was consistently devastating for a really long time.
When teams are wearing white uniforms it means they are playing the 5 day matches. When teams are wearing the coloured uniforms it means they are playing the limited overs games.
You will notice on the pitch (the strip where all the action takes place) there are some darker patches. Warnie was aiming for the ball to land on these darker patches because it maximises the amount of spin and makes the ball really unpredictable. Over the 5 days the pitch starts to really deteriorate and produce more dark patches and sometimes alot of cracks. This suits the bowling team because if you land it in a dark patch or crack then the ball can deviate alot making it very difficult for the batsman to predict.
Johnny when this guy says darker patches on the pitch they are the foot marks the bowler makes from landing in the same spot time after time
because the foot marks can give the bowler an advantage there is an imaginary no go zone in just in front of the stumps at one end extending to the other set of stumps
theoretically no player can enter that area but there are occasions they can e.g to field a ball the umpire can and have banned bowlers from bowling again in that innings if they keep encroaching into that area
@@sammy_dog 👍
@@sammy_dogwhat is IE?
Anything from Australia or Shane warne explains his bowling deliveries you won't be disappointed
Love your footy jumper! Warnie was a handy lower order batsman averaging just over 17. And a bowler does not throw the ball, they bowl the ball!
Warney was something else. They once interviewed him about how he can confuse batters with so many different deliveries and he responded something along the line of "my wrist can bend somewhere between 90 and 180 degrees....and each change in that is gonna give you a different spin"
There's lots of different types of bowling, but with spin bowlers it's basically Leg Spin (which you spin the ball by using the wrist, and Off Spin which is normally by running the finger down the ball)....but there's a load of different ways you can do it.....Spin bowlers tend to be reasonably slow (compared to Pace bowlers) but their trick is that when it bounces it changes direction....so it might be slow, but it catches the edge of the bat or turns around your legs....
RIP to one of the best. Taken too soon. To truly appreciate what is involved here you really need to watch his CZcams tutorial!! There are so many types of bowling in cricket and Warnie was master of the leg spin. PS we wouldn’t call him a batsman. Everyone on the team bats and fields in cricket but they don’t all bowl.
Taken too soon by Pfizer
Leg spin is the best. For those of us who know how to do it - it’s amazing. Middle, Fast bowlers doing swing or leg cutters. There’s never been anything like Shane Warne.
To simply , Warney is the greatest leggy of all time, what your witnessing is pure genius. You say its like bowling a hook ball, but image bowling with a ball, flight it and land it precisely where the foot marks to maximize the spin imparted as it leaves the hand. 3 of the batsmen where English captains so all of them were class batsman. Warne did loads for the game on and off the field a true legend
There were some games played in the USA this year though a much shorter version we call the BBL (Big Bash League) in which many top players from around the world team up and play each other. Only 20 overs a side so there's a result after an evening. There are plans to expand this form in the US next year and beyond.
MLC (major league cricket) had 6 teams in 2023 playing T20 in the American summer.
It started small but I’m sure it will grow quickly.
try watching a couple of BBL starts this weekend 20 overs per team done in a couple of hours. Keep up the good work enjoying your stuff.
Leg spin extremely difficult ball to bowl well. Shane Warne was an unsurpassed master at it and terrified batsmen all over the world.
Once a batsman is bowled he is done for the innings. He goes to the "dugout" and the next batsman comes in. An out can happen through the following ways:
Being bowled. When the ball is a legal delivery and it hits the stumps removing the bails on top of the stumps.
Being caught. When the batsman hits it with part of his glove or bat and the ball is caught on the full inside the boundaries of the field.
LBW. Leg before wicket. This is to prevent batsman from blocking the stumps with their legs. If the ball hits the batsman on the legs before it hits the bat and is judged as being in line with the stumps and at the right height it is appealed by the fielding teams and bowler and given out by the umpire. If the batsman hits the ball first and then it hits the legs right in front of the stumps it is considered not out.
Run out. Any time two batsman are attempting to make a run a fielder can throw the ball to one of the ends. If the batsman's bat is not on the ground and inside the "crease" by the time the stumps is hit and the bails removed then the batsman is considered out. This is similar to being safe in baseball.
Stumped. A batsman can make an aggresive attempt to hit a ball against a spinner. Wicketkeepers are usually much closer to the stumps for spinners then they are for faster bowlers. If the batsman misses the shot and is outside of his crease, a wicketkeeper can catch the ball and hit the stumps removing the bails. This is considered out because he is outside of his crease.
Good explanations....just to add a few others
Rare but happen occasionally
Hit Wicket - When the batsman hits the wickets with his bat (or any other body part) while playing a shot, and dislodges the bails
Very Rare
Obstructing the field, - one example is when a batsman handles the ball after hitting it.
Has happened once!
Timed out - when the incoming batsman fails to take the field and be ready to face the bowler within 2 mins of the previous batsman being out. Not sure, but I think this may only apply to shorter formats of the game?
Thank you sir for your respect
It's a bit odd the vid is from another country (can't pick the accent) but awesome to see they are making this vid. So happy to see they showcased Shane's abilities.
Master of his craft. What the video doesn't show is his other variations. He was able to turn the leg spin ball so far that his flipper (goes straight), wrong- un (turns the other way) and top spinner (subtle leg spin with more bounce) were as dangerous as his main weapon. He disguised his other variations so well the batsmen had no idea what was being delivered. Another thing worth mentioning was the mental side of the game. He won so many games for Australia when the heat was on and when it counted. He was the man who made things happen when the chips were down. Australia went through a golden era of cricket while Warnie played. One of a kind RIP
It’s great that you’re interested. Cricket is a long game (although has 1 day format as well as long tests which go for days) and takes a long time to learn even the basics even before you get into tactics and strategy! When the little bails are knocked off the stumps the batsman is out and is replaced by the next batsman from the pavilion.
Hi there Johnny, glad to see you really getting into cricket....When the bowler hits the wicket, that batsman (on strike) is OUT
Warnie was in a league of his own, who took the most test wickets of any other Australian and did it all as a leg spinner. On top of that he was a tremendous bloke who loved a beer and his kids, and when on tour especially to the sub-continent he used to take a box of baked beans with him 🤣 Such a loss to loose him. He grew up around the Mentone area here in Melbourne where I also lived for many years, and of similar age.
True legend 👏
Shane Warn was a finger spinner. His primary weapon was the leg spin bowl. To a right hand batsman it would bounce and turn away from the barsman. But that's not all warnie could do. He had a wrongun which looks the same as a leg spin as he bowls it but it turned into the right hand batsman (yes Shane could turn it either way) He also possessed an excellent flipper. That's a ball where the seam of the ball pointed straight down the centre of the pitch. What this delivery did, shame would give this bowl a higher projectory and the ball appeared to float till it nearly reached the batsman. It would then dip in front of the batsman and would increase in speed and stay low (not bounce fully) offend skidding into the stumps to bowl the batsman (if a batsman is bowls he is out and that's the end of his innings) or thump into the batsman's pads getting out leg before wicket (a batsman can not prevent a ball from hitting the wickets with any part of his body other than with his bat, note a batsman's hands are considered part of the bat)
This dude was not only a great cricketer, he was also banging Elizabeth Hurley for a while.
The best bowler Australia had ever had... and cricket is one of our national sports.. plus a great character... the USA would have loved him
G'day, mate. Well played.
Good to see another new cricket fan
I am from South Africa. Our rugby team won the Rugby World Cup this year. The first team ever to win 4 World Cup titles. It would be interesting to get your reactions to some rugby
Biggest Hits in rugby
Rugby hits Til l collapse and similar
I remember watching Shane play for St Kilda CC 1st & 2nd XI in the late 80's. He lived just down the road from St Kilda (Where I live) in Black Rock. He was OK, nothing special really tbh I think he was more focused on playing footy for the Saints. Really it was only after they cut him from their list at St. Kilda FC, (go Tiges lol) that he really focused on bowling so I guess that's the one good thing St Kilda footy club have done (JK 😁). Loved watching him play for the Vics and then Australia to become the best leg spinner of all time. Was gutted when he passed. He was only a few months younger than me.
The art of leg spin bowling is not just the spin of the ball but deceiving the batsmen with the flight of the ball.
You can bowl the ball above the batsmans eye line and drift it out to spin it back in.
Shane Warne was a master of this as well as bowling a googly, which is bowling a delivery with the apparent leg spin action but spins back the other way.
Ask Siri what a googly is.
Love your channel mate. 👍🏻
Something truly great about the Shane Warne era was that he stood out in a masterclass team that had taken the cricket world by storm. You would be playing summer backyard cricket with your mates and family and go back to watch a test match throughout the day, but when Warnie came in to bowl everyone stopped what they were doing and crowded around the tv to watch him create magic and drama. Brings a tear to my eye now of the entertainment and memories he provided and the tragic loss of his life so early. Such a national treasure. RIP Warnie.
As well as Marsh and Warne, Dean Jones, a great Australian attacking batsman of the 80s and 90s, died a little earlier too. Thenn after Warne, Aussie all-rounder Andrew 'Roy' Symonds, died in a car crash. A really sad period for Australian cricket losingbso many great former players so close together.
It's great that the commentator for the No#1 spot where you say "definitely" to looking foolish, is the same batsman, past Captain of England Mike Atherton from the #8 spot who was "way behind on that one"! 😂
Must watch 1999 cricket world cup semi final Sth Africa vs Australia. One of the most amazing games of all time with a classic finish.
The "wicket" is the three stumps ( posts sticking up) behind the batsmen with 2 "bails" placed on top. If the bowler hits them on delivery, the batsman snicks the ball into em, the batsman hits em with the bat or any fielder hits them with the batsman outside the "crease or line he is to remain behind" then the batsman is out, "depending if they were running to it but another part of it" But only out if the bails fall off. I did see just recently someone got not out as the middle stump got taken out but the bails didn't fall. Freak stumping that was.
Test matches are the ultimate test of stamina, endurance, skill and fitness!
I really like the fact that you have aknologisd the fact that you have noticed this Onya fella
To get you into the game - try Bob Willis (England) tearing Australia apart in the 1981 Headingley Test Match vs Australia. And for batting, try Viv Richards' 291 for the West Indies against England at The Oval in 1976. I know I'm going back a long way, but we are talking 'all time' here!
Some great catches in cricket, what could go wrong?
I like how you see a similarity with another sport, baseball.
Too many sports, heard of lawn bowls? its big with oldies but a movie, Cracker Jack (2002) made it cool for a bit.
Bowlers have to 'bowl' the ball they can be in big trouble if found to have 'thrown' the ball.... the cricket ball has a double seam and 'spinners' cand use their fingers to make it spin when released and the results are sometimes unbelievable...there are 'fast' bowlers who bowl the ball so quick you can't blink..... love that you are showing all these amazing moments in cricket...love your reactions mate. Hi from Australia
Shane Warne (RIP) has bamboozled batsman his entire career
The other thing not mentioned is the variations of each delivery (not pitch) slow, fast, soon right, left, flipper top spin, plus the pin point accuracy of how exactly perfectly Warnie could hit a penny on the pitch 99/100 ... that's why he is the goat
To answer your question about the batsmen and being out and swapping ends…. The two batsmen are labelled the striker and the non-striker, where the striker is the one facing the bowler and the non-striker is at the other end. Only the striker can score runs by playing the ball, but he/she has to run in partnership with the non-striker. There are two ways for the striker to become the non-striker and vice versa. The first is by scoring 1 or 3 runs. This way the batters will end up and the other end of the pitch from where they started. The other way is when they remain at the same end (by scoring 0, 2, 4 or 6 runs) at the end of the over. Then the new bowler will bowl from the other end (alternating each over) so the striking end will change for the batters.
When the ball hits the wicket, the batsman is out. There is no "swapping" (crossing, in cricket language) of the batsmen in that scenario. A new batsman comes out from the locker room to replace the one who got out. Crossing occurs only when there is a run out or a deep field catch out. Crossing only occurs if the batsmen attempt to score (run) by running the length of the pitch. If no run is attempted, no crossing occurs.
Great respect mate to any American keen to learn about cricket as it is a brilliant sport. I suggest watching highlights and top ten videos to begin. Catches, run-outs, batting and different bowling. The game is what baseball is based on but so different. The T20 World Cup is in the USA next year. Watch a game or two recommended by cricket friends and buy a ticket and go watch a game. You will not be disappointed.
the cricket ball has external stitching in a band around the ball. This 'grabs' the ground much better than the rest of the smooth ball. Also, you'll see bowlers shine one half of the ball (left or right) to change it's aerodynamics. Next, an 'old' ball is rougher, grabbing better, while a new ball is smoother. next, there are certain spots on the wicket that get roughed up by the bowler, batter, bat or ball. In this video, you see Shane aiming for one of these rough spots. This makes the ball bounce differently then the batter expects. Lastly, different bowlers bowl at much different speeds. Spin bowlers are very slow, fast bowlers are very fast. Changing speed, length, angle of attack and spin will make the ball behave differently (like baseball).
miss ya warnie!
