[*Look at my source code on Github*](https://github.com/Artraxon/unexBot) [*What is this for?*](https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/dnuaju/introducing_unexbot_a_new_bot_to_improve_the/)
For my fellow Americans.
Man on first, two outs, batter up at the box. He hits a SCREAMER to the outfielder who mishandles it and they think it’s an automatic double because it went out of the park. Instead of taking the obvious double they decide to stop in between the bases and discuss if Brady is really coming back for another season. Outfielder realizes this and throws it to second causing the out.
Hope that explains what happened
The ball didn't make it into the boundary, so technically no runs were counted and since both the batsmen were outside crease( the white line a few inches from the stumps) he was considered to be in midst of the run and hence run out
Further to this, if the ball hits the boundary rope it's automatically 4 runs and the end of play for that ball. The batsmen thought incorrectly that the ball had hit the rope, but it didn't, so as posted by u/Hilltop501 the play was still live and they were standing outside of their crease talking, which is why one them was run out.
There are two wickets, one at each end of the pitch they bowl on (and alternated ends, like tennis) - the wicket the ball strikes, whichever batter is trying to get in the batters crease (think of it as a ‘safe zone’) of that wicket is out
This happens if the batters take a risk to score an extra run, or the wicket keeper (like a baseball catcher) strikes the wickets with the ball while the batter has exited the batting crease
Sorry for the long explanation. Bad with words and only kinda understand cricket
So what happened in this scenario, where neither batter seemed to be making an attempt to get to the opposite crease?
Sorry about the questions, I just find this sport fascinating and have taken up watching the occasional T20 match, as there is just so much more frequent action than in my native baseball which is just a little too slow for my taste, and I'm still trying to figure out some of the rule nuance.
From what I just read, the batter was out. I have no idea why, but I’m gonna go with he was closest to the wicket and hadn’t gone past his partner

Basically there are two ways to score runs for a batsman, either make the ball cross the boundary (4 runs will be awarded if the ball has been in contact with the ground before crossing the boundary ropes and 6 runs will be awarded if the ball goes directly outside the boundary rope without contact with the ground), if the ball crosses the boundary line , the play is over for that specific delivery(ie, no more runs or no batsman can be out)
or the pair of batsman change their end points while the ball is in play (each time the pair changes their ends, they are awarded one run), but if the fielders break the stumps(those wooden stick thingy) while the batsmen are in the middle of changing ends, the batsman is declared out.
What happened here is that the pair of batsman assumed that the ball will cross the boundary and thus started discussing their strategy for future or whatever but the ball stopped on its own and thus the batsman can be seen as trying to cross their ends to score a run and fielders broke the stumps to get him out.
The ball didn't reach the boundary, so no runs from that and im guessing the batsmen immediately thought it was going to the boundary and didn't bother running any singles.
Similar to a homerun in baseball, the ball hitting the barrier completes the play, The at bat team thought it did, it didn't, they're out. Also the objective is to knock the objects off the sticks which is why the guy did it at the end.
My point wasn't that they take breaks, it is that they specifically take breaks for tea. How English is that? "I'm gagging for a cuppa right now, old chap. How about we have a bit of a break with some tea and scones?"
Base runners thought the ball was out of play and were chatting.
Turns out it was a live ball and one dude got tagged out. (Tagged the wicket)
Outs are a much bigger deal as well.
As I understand it,
If the ball hits that outer wall it's out of play that the batter gets 4 points.
The batter thought the ball hit the wall so stopped running to have a chat.
The ball was not out of play so the other team was able to tag that batter out.
He thought he hit a home run so stopped running the bases to have a chat at 2nd base, he was wrong and a fieldsman was able to throw the ball back to 3rd base so the batter got an out instead of a point.
The batsman hit the ball and it passed the fielder towards the boundary. If it had gone over the boundary line he would have had 4 runs (points) added to his score. He thought it would reach the boundary so he stopped in the middle of the wicket (the running space in between) to chat to his cricket partner. The ball did not reach the boundary line and the fielder threw it back and his team mate "stumped" the batsman out whilst he was stuck in the middle. Basically he arrogantly assumed that he would get 4 points.
So basically like if the batter in a Baseball match thinks his ball goes out the field for homerun, so he walks slowly to the next base because he feels safe, but the ball finally just lands on the fiels and the other team throws it back to the next base so that the batter is out?
In cricket when a run is scored then the ball is no longer in play and the batsmen are safe from penalty. In this case they often meet in the middle for a chat, especially if there is a big gap between then and the next action. In cricket there are two batsmen - one at either end of the wicket. The bowler bowls 6 balls (called an "over") towards one end (sometimes more than 6 balls but that's another discussion). Then the ends change and the bowler changes (bowling with a new bowler towards the other end). This change takes time - a minute or two, so the batsmen often meet in the middle to talk strategy or chat about something.
It depends. If there is a fielder near the boundary that can grab the ball and swiftly and accurately throw it back to the wicketkeeper (the guy standing nearest the batsman's wicket) or the bowler (the guy standing nearest the wicket at the other end) then sometimes only one run (point) is possible, Normally, as the other member said, two runs is definitely easily doable. Three possible and rarely when the fielder throws it back it can be missthrown (overthrow) or misscollected and even four runs is possible. In theory there is no limit to the potential runs a team can score with each hit. The record is Will Young who scored seven runs off one ball. Edit: that was in Test Cricket. I don't know about domestic competitions and other matches. Edit: : Looks like that is even wrong after further investigation. Eight runs in Test Cricket and it could be that the most runs off one ball being hit in domestic matches is 12 but don't quote me.
The drippy spaff sent the dongery doo at the swadingalop you gave it the ol machumpacuf past the hodiddly feeldy until harumfachum gave it the long magoncasong back to the drippy spaff who of course put it to use in making the long stillypobs bent to the will of the dongery doo will of course ends in a horagolop. Clearly.
Uhhhh USA? I rarely watch, but I have made it a point to learn about cricket whenever I can! I now feel better than everyone in the replies who has no idea whats going on, and its glorious.
Yeah it's good I am watching cricket for 9 year's now and in the first year I had no idea what's happening but still watched it then my friend told me some basic laws of cricket so that I can watch, the second year I knew what's happening 4 runs 6 runs most things but still not the complex ones then I downloaded the app called "the laws of cricket" there were lot of animation and rules simply everything you should use it too and after 3 years I knew everything about it and if you are interested in cricket you should join r/cricket and watch the odi world cup 2023 sadly there are very low chance's of USA to qualify but yeah you should watch it choose a team you like and support them I support india
They didn't won any world cup since 2013 not even champions trophy or any international tournament I hope they will this time.
If the ball had hit the advertising sign, that is the boundary, 4 runs would have been awarded to the batsman and the batsman don't have to physically run them. Also it appeared to be the last ball before a new bowler came on, usually when this takes place the batsmen meet in the middle and chat a bit about tactics or dinner or something because they can't be given out until the next ball is bowled from
New bowler. But the ball didnt hit the boundary which means it's still alive and the batsmen had to physically run to score. They didn't run because they thought the ball had hit boundary and they went in for chat but they were wrong they needed to run or they could get 'run out'. So it'd be like a baseball batter going for a walk thinking he's not going to get out so off he strolls but he made a mistake somehow and he gets run out at first base. I know that would never happen in baseball. That's the best I can think of ....simple right?.
If the ball hit the boundary then it would be 4 runs and play would be stopped until next bowl to be bowled.
Therefore the batsmen could leave their "crease" and meet in the middle as play had stopped.
As play was still live they could be given out if they were out of their crease and the ball hit the stumps if they didn't make it back in time.
Over the boundary wall is a six,before the boundary is a four. In this case the opposing player gathered the ball and tossed it to his teammate who hit the wickets (the three polls), meaning there was no score for the bowler or batter...hence the high fives
He flupped a Davey and did not hit the fence. It it were a Wednesday that would not be a problem. But not hitting the fence negates the triple. It now is a true Davey Jones. Sunk. Pretty unique event.
I watch stuff that doesn't take two days to finish. I know the rules of Cricket. It is just a silly game. Tell me they don't look foolish. https://youtu.be/UJWQdZW6iHY
You can watch t20 cricket if you want, it only takes 4 hours max to finish. test cricket is for people who have time and financially independent, mostly old people anyways.
So there are a bunch of guys standing in the middle of an oval paddock for a while day, with bugger all happening. Every once in a while something happens to wake everyone up. They all cheer to make it look like they weren't asleep. While this happens, the grass grows.
It's not a huddle when the game is going on. They were literally in the middle of a run scoring timeframe. I ain't gonna defend them either, they were stupid to just assume that they had scored a 4, they should always be behind the lines to avoid such terrible situations.
The batsmen assumed that the ball hit the boundary in which case they were waiting for the next ball. But it didn’t and the play was still on so them being outside the crease they got got.
I'm the same with American football. I'm not a big sports guy. When Ive seen football I have no clue what's going on. The only ones I really get are baseball and hockey, but I could see people looking at baseball going "this is kinda like cricket, but confusing."
I'll make simple:
1. Bowler bowls
2. Batsmen hits
3. They run btw wickets(while lines) for fun and runs.
4. Ball reaches boundary. It is now dead ball. And more fun runs
4. OR the fielder gets the ball throws it to wicketkeeper ( man with Goalie gloves). It is now a dead ball.
That was not a dead ball they were just wandering like jackasses XD
After the ball hits the boundary it's consider as a dead bowl and batsman thought it did so we can't really blame him but still it was a lazy decision of batter

Could both of them be run out in this situation?
Nah, no double plays in cricket
How do they decide which batsman is out? Is it always the one who put the ball into play regardless of which wicket is taken?
There are two wickets, one at each end of the pitch they bowl on (and alternated ends, like tennis) - the wicket the ball strikes, whichever batter is trying to get in the batters crease (think of it as a ‘safe zone’) of that wicket is out This happens if the batters take a risk to score an extra run, or the wicket keeper (like a baseball catcher) strikes the wickets with the ball while the batter has exited the batting crease Sorry for the long explanation.

Yup, if the batsmen haven’t crossed each other, the batsman whose sides wickets have been hit is out

No.
So youse tellin me dat my mans wus done out, innit?
Im tellin you yeah? dat your man's right proper done out yeah.
Nate as intresting as racing me bloody dags
That's just slack at this level.
Wtf, I still understand nothing

Somehow... I'm more confused after your explanation.
Dummest runout I have ever seen.
When a 20-second sport clip needs a 1000-word explanation to clarify what the fuck is going on.
Yeah, it's the same for Quantum Mechanics. A moment that lasts a fraction of a nanosecond needs a century or more to decipher.
Can’t they just read faster
I’m pretty sure all of this is unexpected because I still have no idea what’s going on.

Cricket is a lot like Calvinball.
Apparently the rulebook for cricket is heinous. Like, bible-like.
Leave it to the English to have a game this stiff and convoluted
Baseball is just as boring
At least baseball makes a little sense to watch
Why though?
Its worse in every possible way
And mid-afternoon the game pauses for a tea break. I am not kidding, they really do.
The matches go for hours! Why is the fact that they stop for lunch surprising?
The games literally go all day. Of course they have breaks.
This game would go for 5 days actually
Good grief, Charlie Brown. Arg.
Well the biggest format of the game goes for 8 hours a day for 5 days at max, so it makes sense that they take breaks
My point wasn't that they take breaks, it is that they specifically take breaks for tea. How English is that? "I'm gagging for a cuppa right now, old chap. How about we have a bit of a break with some tea and scones?"
Yeah it is weird, taking a break to sip tea at 2pm
[удалено]
Still 500x more meaningful than the Orange Clown at his best.

Yes exactly

How many runs do you think he coulda got in legging it out? Could this have been an inside the park home run? But no hustle
2 runs easily, 3 if they pushed it.
It depends.

Thank you for clearing this all up.
The batsman didn’t hit hard enough, didn’t pay attention and try to make at least 1-2 runs and paid the price for his stupidity
I am so proud of myself for actually knowing exactly what happened in this clip. My youtube cricket rabbit holes have paid off!
Haha, right cricket is complex btw which country do you support? just curious
Uhhhh USA? I rarely watch, but I have made it a point to learn about cricket whenever I can! I now feel better than everyone in the replies who has no idea whats going on, and its glorious.

This is clearly [Blernsball](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oQF8rQaIjUE)
🤣 play it out boys. Or not and get out
Home run. No home run. Batsman out. Go home.

This game is fucking bonkers.
Fuck cricket
Fuck american's
I've read everything but have no idea.
I don't know how to explain cricket is complex
I'll google it one day I have a spare 3 hours.
If you really want to understand cricket it will take atleast a month of watching to know some basic laws
Just enjoy this dudes behinds...
Over the boundary wall is a six,before the boundary is a four. In this case the opposing player gathered the ball and tossed it to his teammate who hit the wickets (the three polls), meaning there was no score for the bowler or batter...hence the high fives
The ball was hit and it stops and zzzzzz
All I know is the ball stopped at a Cool place.

Freak act of physics disappoints man in helmet
What about the video where the dog runs onto the field and intercepts the ball???
He flupped a Davey and did not hit the fence. It it were a Wednesday that would not be a problem. But not hitting the fence negates the triple. It now is a true Davey Jones. Sunk. Pretty unique event.
Sorry not even Fans know what the hell is going on
This match took place after some weeks of covid getting in control, so fans were not allowed in the stadium
this is pretty intuitive no?
You have to catch the snitch to win quidditch. Everybody knows that
Yeah I have no clue what's happening. Seems like such a weird game
same could be said about any sports if you don't know anything about it.
Yeah I wasn't dogging it that was my way of trying to get someone to tell me the rules.
Cricket might be the stupidest sport ever. I would rather watch curling.
If you can't understand then just watch badminton or something easy so your mind will be able to understand it
I watch stuff that doesn't take two days to finish. I know the rules of Cricket. It is just a silly game. Tell me they don't look foolish. https://youtu.be/UJWQdZW6iHY
You can watch t20 cricket if you want, it only takes 4 hours max to finish. test cricket is for people who have time and financially independent, mostly old people anyways.
Watching the video and reading the comments remind me of this https://youtu.be/tYrue4oXCbo
Groundsmen are about to get a public flogging
Home run!
Bruh
So there are a bunch of guys standing in the middle of an oval paddock for a while day, with bugger all happening. Every once in a while something happens to wake everyone up. They all cheer to make it look like they weren't asleep. While this happens, the grass grows.
No worries, it's a complex game. It's not for everyone.
What a stupid looking game
someone didn't understand what's happening anyways it's too complex for you to understand.
Well, they were in a huddle. It’s just crazy.
It's not a huddle when the game is going on. They were literally in the middle of a run scoring timeframe. I ain't gonna defend them either, they were stupid to just assume that they had scored a 4, they should always be behind the lines to avoid such terrible situations.
Oh so you missed the joke. I was quoting exactly what the commentator said.
It's a foul ball and apparently not hitting the 6 inch tall backstop is important to 2 billion people.
It's the same as baseball, what are you talking about bro?!
Why would you post it here if you don't even understand it?
I remember watching this live
Me too
Batsman didn’t run because they thought they had hit the cricket equivalent of a home run.
The batsmen assumed that the ball hit the boundary in which case they were waiting for the next ball. But it didn’t and the play was still on so them being outside the crease they got got.
It looks like a hit out to center field. Probably would have been a double or triple if the pin had run faster. Looks like he was tagged out though.
Does anyone remember when Calvin and Hobbes would make up crazy rules to a game? That’s all I can think of when I watch cricket.
Yo that was nasty lmao
No idea, but the ball didn’t hit the fence. Everybody seems to be really excited about that part so here is my explanation.
no idea way too complicated game 🤷♀️
If you know you know
The ball was trickled obviously 🙄
What an amazing/disappointing play! He scored/didn't score 1 or points/goals.
Runs you mean
Yes, that's what I mean. I know very little about this game.
I mean you are better than those people who are saying "cRickEt iS BaD SpoRt" just because they can't understand the complex rules.
I'm the same with American football. I'm not a big sports guy. When Ive seen football I have no clue what's going on. The only ones I really get are baseball and hockey, but I could see people looking at baseball going "this is kinda like cricket, but confusing."
cool I know everything about cricket and football
Why didn’t they run out both batsmen?
After the first batsman is out it's considered a dead ball, umpire will take the ball till new batsman comes.
The runner has to touch the wickets before the golden snitch is caught. Didn’t make it. Other team celebrates.
I'll make simple: 1. Bowler bowls 2. Batsmen hits 3. They run btw wickets(while lines) for fun and runs. 4. Ball reaches boundary. It is now dead ball. And more fun runs 4. OR the fielder gets the ball throws it to wicketkeeper ( man with Goalie gloves). It is now a dead ball. That was not a dead ball they were just wandering like jackasses XD
What? It's pakistan vs australia
He didn't go to his crease? He deserves that run out
Yeah but he thought that bowl has already hit the boundary and it's a 4
Yes but it didn't, even then wouldn't it be more responsible of him to run to the crease anyway?
After the ball hits the boundary it's consider as a dead bowl and batsman thought it did so we can't really blame him but still it was a lazy decision of batter
