i want to educate non-cricket fans about cricket
do you have any questions/thoughts/curiousities about cricket? post them here
also, what are ur first/current impressions of cricket?
no /cric/ posters allowed to post questions, this is a non-/cric/ EDUCATION/TEACHING thread.
Are you a pajeet?
I know nothing about cricket besides it looks like baseball for tired people
so tell me everything about it
no i'm their better version
fuck off retard ask sometthing specific or fuck off retard
I don't believe a frog poster knows fuckall about cricket
Fuck off fatty lmfao
knowing fuckall == knowing nothing
Pakis are worse than pajeets. Basically traitors to the glorious pajeet race as they larp as arabs and persians
ok pajeet, RENT FREE
what are those sticks that fall when the ball hits it?
google it
the little sticks or the long sticks?
Based seb
I didn't know about the existence of a little stick. What are they for?
The little sticks sit on top of the big sticks, if the little stick falls on a delivery or if the batsman is outside his crease it means the batsman is out. The little sticks are called bails, the big sticks are called stumps. Together they are the wickets.
Cricket is basically another language.
Can you dab in cricket?
Why did you choose dumbass cricket instead of the GOAT poor 3rd world sport (soccer)?
Because 83 world cup victory
why/how do games last 3 days
players bat for 8 hour shifts, then take about a 3 hour break in which they nap, and then back again until they get out. so it's possible a single player can bat all 3 days if sleep deprivation doesn't fuck him up.
see thats fucked up.
4 hour yankee/red sox games are already too tedious.
Test matches can go five days.
Mostly this post is bullshit
>questions about cricket?
how did you parents react when you told them you were gay?
Why do other burgers always pretend that cricket is some super hard to understand sport? It’s far easier to understand than baseball. The stats/scorecards are far easier to understand for a casual viewer. With the exception of LBW, the ways to get out are super straight forward.
I know only shitskins care about the sport, and it’s never going to be a thing in America, it just irritates me how people think it’s so complicated.
Get the fuck out of America.
/hoc/ runs /cric/
*farts*
If cricket is a real sport how can pajeets be good at it?
>leg before wicket not being straightforward
>only shitskins care about the sport
how do you manage to be both fundamentally wrong and stupid in the same post?
Name 1 (one) white country that cares about cricket.
Australia and West Indies are the best at cricket.
American IQ and attention span is too low to understand cricket and that's a fact.
they literally cut the size of the cricket world cup in half this last time they played it because so few countries even view it as worth fielding a team for
It’s the paki, not Seb
There is no white country since 1945
Australia
>Australia
>white
Do you need 145 IQ to understand cricket? I reread your post five times and I still don’t know what the sticks I’m sorry wickets are used for
Can you give me a quick rundown on how to play, basic rule, etc using a greentext?
It’s the opposite, actually. It’s such a retarded sport that only nonwhite subhuman retards can enjoy and pretend to understand it. An intelligent white man like yourself has no business watching the sport.
BASED low IQ amerimutt
No mate, you do need to learn the terminology which is like another language. If you're genuinely interested try looking up a glossary of cricket terms and just start watching.
Once you've figured it out you'll be able to enjoy it on the radio, it's the comfiest sport I know of to listen to whilst working or doing nothing.
Yeah no kidding. They’ve got a special name for everything
pic related are wickets, they comprise of stumps (long ones in the ground) and bails (things on top). The white line BEHIND the wickets in this photo is the crease. Pitching is to baseball as bowling is to cricket. A batsman is out if:
>the ball knocks the bails off during a bowl
>the ball knocks the bails off while the batsman is not behind the crease
>the batsman uses his leg to block the ball from hitting the wickets
>the ball is caught in the air before touching the ground, inside the boundary
>Australia
>white
Literally 0 Australian Asians watch/play cricket
How much dick do you have to suck when your team scores a wicket?
>the ball knocks the bails off during a bowl
youtu.be
>the ball knocks the bails off while the batsman is not behind the crease
this can apply to either getting stumped, or a run out. I also made a mistake by saying the batsman must be behind the crease, only his bat must be but it must be touching the ground
stumped: youtu.be
run out: youtu.be
>the batsman uses his leg to block the ball from hitting the wickets
youtu.be
>the ball is caught in the air before touching the ground, inside the boundary
self-explanatory
yfw you will never get to witness the Amir show.
Here are higher-def examples, some from this World Cup:
>bowled
cricketworldcup.com
>stumped
cricketworldcup.com
>run out
cricketworldcup.com
>lbw
cricketworldcup.com
>inb4 brits mentioning nepal and anything south and west of nepal are "asian"
get a life, too low IQ for me
cricket is like golf while baseball is like chess
cricket is chess, baseball is checkers
Usually we just bully homosexuals into either staying in the closet or killing themselves
so is a 6 scored even if the ball bounces in field before leaving or is that a boundary 4???
the ball has to fly over the boundary before touching the ground for it to be a 6, otherwise it's a 4
its a 4 if it bounces within boundaries
>throw ball in this zone so that my bat can connect sometimes
It's a 4 if it bounces into the boundary, it's a 6 if it goes over the boundary on the full
I've just started watching the ICCWC this year and what causes the opening team to stop batting if their batters arent all dismissed?
this world cup is limited-over cricket. An "over" is 6 bowled balls. an ODI match (this cup) is 50 overs per team max, so that's 300 balls max that a batting team has to work with.
makes sense
im assuming this isn't normal for other tournaments like club cricket or other national tournaments?
or what would be the standard type match if there is one?
limited-over cricket is becoming the norm because it is more spectator-oriented. Test cricket has no limit on overs, so the batting team continues until they're all out. This isnt popular for many spectators however, because test matches can last days as a result. T20 is a newish format which consists of 20 overs per team. These matches usually last 3 hours and are becoming quite popular as a result. The last T20 world cup was in 2016, and there will be another one next year
wait so in test cricket what happens when one batter is left?
I thought they all had to play in pairs
there are technically 11 batsmen, so yes they do have to play in pairs
oh duh damn
sorry man I'm just starting to learn about this
no worries, ask away
Why are you such a fat cazz?
kek
fuck cricket and fuck this thread
how many pajeets?
I can name at least 10 cricket boards which are seething that their country doesn't get to play.
Astute
Fuck you OP. Im genuinely interested and you're still not responding
>a handful of paki diaspora in each cunt
Truly a world sport innit
>tfw you just found out cricket and crocket aren't the same thing
Sorry I thought this thread was meant to educate non cricket fans
Which part of cricket is a cricket?
Fairly certain croquet is the more relevant too
We have the second oldest cricket club in the world and only recently obtained test nation status.
The only pakis I know here are the nice lads at the restaurant I like.
If the bowler bowls a ‘no ball’ does the the batsman get a free ball with no chance of being out?
>match takes all day
>a series takes days and days
WHO THE FUCK WATCH THIS???
not even in my worst NEET days i would waste time in watching this trash
You don't really watch the whole thing, theres lots of drinking etc, it's like going to a big party
