When playing cricket as fielder, if I don't catch the ball mid air...

When playing cricket as fielder, if I don't catch the ball mid air, but it bounces on the field one or more time (low shot close to the ground, good luck unless you dive), once you get to hold the ball what do you have to do? Bowl it toward the wickets which the batter is facing?

if the batsmen are running and out of the crease, you can try and throw in and knock one of the bails off the wicket in which case it's an out

otherwise return it to bowler for next ball

you post about it on Yea Forums until you get all the attention you crave.

is it either one or the other?

r-rude. I just need help senpai

you throw it to one of the wickets hoping to hit the wicket and that would get the batsman out if the batsman was not inside his crease
at the bowling end the bowler will be waiting for the ball and the batting end the wicket keeper will be there so throwing it to either end is the way to go

if you have enough opportunity you can judge which wicket to throw to as maybe one batsman is much further out of his crease and that batsman would be more easily dismissed

This.

The fielder doesn't bowl in this situation, they just throw it back.
But yes, towards the wicket that you think a running batsman will not get to in time. But this is rare, and most of the time you will just throw it back to the bowler for the next ball.

thank germany, most helpful!

Just do this

god damnit what super human reflexes

based, if only he wasn't a shit tier quota pick batsman

Basically first see if there's a chance of a run out, if you're close enough to the stumps you want to aim at them, but also someone should be standing at the other end to catch it if you miss, because if you do miss the ball will keep going and the batsman can make more runs (called "overthrows")
if there's no chance of a run out like most situations just throw it back to the wicketkeeper/ someone in the slips

is that Moeen Ali?

always throw it towards the keeper unless someone calls for bowlers end

I think the fielder is Bavuma, batsman might be Warner

depends on the bowler, you wouldn't throw it right back to a quick starting to walk back

throw it at the batsmen while he's running between creases so it bounces off his bat and runs away for 5 runs , except award him 6; thus, losing you the CWC.

it was lyon in the last ashes series

If it bounces once you can still get them out if you catch it with one hand

Balls

Pastabro, you should start watching some cricket with us in /cric/.

You have to PLEASE WATCH OUR SPORT

correct

and to follow on from this, if they're both equal chances you throw to the keeper because they have the gloves and it represents the end of the ball's play

can tell you never played much cricket mate

Probably one of the best runouts you'll ever see.

Come and join us in /cric/ friend, and ignore the rude Kiwi boomer ()
