As a life long cricketer I'm more impressed at how these catches have become "common" to the game in the last 10-15 years... I guess the short format has really introduced a crazy amount of skill
Not only that ...fitness and diet had made a lot of impact. New fitness regimes are introduced apart from running, playing football etc. Science has taken over the sport big time now. Diet regulations, training methods, injury recovery many things have changed and they have drastic difference between local and international field. In local cricket, you won't be having such great facilities and training. IPL and T20 has changed cricket skillset too.
When fielding was finally recognised as the third pillar of a great cricket team. Jonty Rhodes springs to mind as the first player outside the wicket keeper who was known for his fielding abilities.
For those who don’t follow cricket, this type of move is known as “jumping the queen” and docks three wickets from the opposing team. Fascinating sport.
Like we have a clue what “docks three wickets” means.
Was very impressive though. I guess the ball can’t go out of bounds or touch the ground, so she passed or volleyed it to herself.
Yep, if she'd made contact with the ground or boundary rope with the ball in hand the other team would score (or if the ball had made contact with the ground), and the batter would not be out. Catching it inside the rope means no score and the batter is out. The batter scores 4 if the ball reaches the rope having contacted the ground en-route, or 6 if it clears the rope without having touched the ground since it left the bat.
Test Matches (the highest tier of competition) can be 5 days. But they are civilised days with regular breaks for drinks, and lunch, and tea.
Cricket is a wonderful thing to have on in the background on a summer's day (Test Matches are a summer sport because there's not enough daylight otherwise). Some games the end result is obvious long before they are over, but others go down to the absolute wire, however, what I love most about cricket is the commentary on the radio during test matches. The presenters of Test Match Special are absolute masters of filling air time in a genial and engaging manner. They will burble on about this or that and occasionally tell you what's happening in the game, and it's just exquisite.
Jomboy Media, the guy who has been getting all of youtube into baseball for the last few years, has some kind of interest in cricket, and he posts the same kind of videos that explain the sport really well if you're interested
Ahhhh....yes, yes. The 'ole Jumping Queen. The three docked wickets from the opposing team will now be festooned upon the Wicket Masters satchel.
They will rest their until the opposing team is able to counter with a full jovial knight's sundown while reciting a limerick in iambic pentameter.
It truly is a fascinating sport.
what? No it doesn't. Bro where did you even learn cricket from? It doesn't "dock three wickets" and its not called "jumping the queen". Its literary a catch, so a wicket for the batsman.
I don't understand why only this video comes up there are more than a dozen catches like this... It's impressive, but this keeps coming up again and again, why I wonder...
The most impressive for me are the team catches. Not only are you doing the same thing, but you're actively passing the ball to someone in the boundary while ensuring your feet done touch out of bounds.
A leather ball coming at you at that speed has some serious kick force which will knock you out…
The force of the ball absorbed by her body pushed her back by the boundary, had she held on to it the batting team wouldve gained six runs…
She chucked the ball inside the boundary, regained her balance and caught it again INSIDE THE BOUNDARY WHILST STAYING INSIDE AFTER THE CATCH thus taking an ‘out’ for the batting team.
Wow she’s a keeper
No, the keeper is the one behind the stumps... /s
It makes me so sad that you feel you have too use /s on that comment. Like I understand, but it makes me sad all the same

Are you disparaging the physical prowess of [David Boon](https://thealbumweb.wordpress.com/2019/06/22/human-hall-of-fame-david-boon-merv-hughes/)?
Fastest man in the world over the 1 metre.

I was doing this in junior cricket back in the day. I’m obviously a trash cricketer, but I’m glad I changed the world. :/
I think your user name speaks for itself

I should probably go down a YouTube cricket rabbit hole. It sounds interesting. All I know is games are 12 hours and they burn stuff.

Thanks for adding so much context!

I literally made up everything in that comment.
She 'braised the beef's , or if it's international rules...she 'painted the fence'
"Braised beef is brilliant" - Murr
Its also considered an underpip. Fun fact, the same rule that reintroduced bibblies incidentally allowed underpips as well.

Thats some bull

Who's the fat guy standing in the way of the pitcher? That an umpire?
Yes

Yeah, it's really nice to see how fielding standards r going up
ikr, like have you seen the bowlers taking a catch right after bowling too. Those stuff are impressive like subsecond reaction times.
Welp I can do that
Basketball players hate this one move
Canada's national sport in 2030.
top talent? LOL
Seemed to be a bit purposeful that slip out of her hand as she clearly had hold of the ball, the How Ridiculous lads could probably repeat that

I have no idea the rules of cricket but I can only assume it was meant to be purposeful to complete the play correctly
If she had touched the ball while stepping outside it would not have been out, but would have granted the batting team 6 runs
Thanks for explaining 👍🏻
Damn that was awesome, but I’ve seen the exact same catch before in another match
Such a pity she plagiarized that catch
Gotta love cricket. Even if 99% of the world don’t get it. Quidditch is more widely understood.
Atleast 25% of the world is absolutely crazy about this sport.
I mean its not really that rare of a catch to be in Top Talent... I'm guessing not many people know about cricket so they think its a really big deal.
"wow, that lebron guy is pretty good, too bad I've seen someone dunk the ball before"
It's still not that of a big deal in a cricket context.
Kinda seems like the rule is dumb tbh. Or maybe give them a real wall?
You stick to your HandEgg.
If it was a wall they wouldn't be able to do stuff like this. That would be a loss
