Bats, gloves, shoes, gurads

Thank you.

And I have a question about Danny Morrison's helmet. His helmet does not have front-side protection. Could anyone tell me the reason?

Personal preference? The grills are adjustable and removable, and olden day helmets didn't have them (they were just motorbike helmets adapted for cricket)

- It's a helmet. The keeper often wears a helmet for certain bowlers (usually when standing close to the stumps for a spinner or medium pacer) and a hat for others. So in between overs, instead of wasting time by sending the helmet back to the dressing room and calling for it again, he keeps it behind him.
If the ball hits it, the batting side are awarded 5 runs I believe.

Then, why wicket-keeper change helmet and cap, despite there is a risk of losing 5 runs by placing his/her helmet on the ground?

I notice that clip has in the title "Baseball Cricket". You searched for Baseball Cricket, didn't you Loko? You want this so badly, don't you Loko? This is some kind of Frankenstein's monster deal, right? I look forward to your future "It's alive!" thread.

No, that video was suggested as one of the related ones from other video.

- In baseball you are very unlikely to get hit on the hand. Gloves are designed to be lightweight and give good grip.

Sometimes that happens in Baseball, even including fractures. And very often pitchers in the batter box do not try to hit ball, because the damage to the hands by hitting ball has negative effect on pitching.

Hey Loko, in baseball do bowlers pitchers sometimes purposely throw the ball wide so a batsman gets on base and they target the next batter?

Yes, sometimes that happens.
There are 3 main reasons:

Avoiding strong batter
To fill all bases when losing 1 point means the end of game
Not to give opportunity to hit for the best-average batter race (walk by 4 balls is not counted)

 

[NUFAN]

Wow, that's cool. Are there any famous examples of this?

 

[Lokomotiv]

I have already referred to the case 1.
As for the case 2, it is a bit difficult to explain if you do not know the basic rules of "tag-out" and "forced-out". Please search "intentional walk to load the bases".
As for the last one, I'm not sure about the longest record, but at least there is a record of 11 intentional walks in a row to avoid giving chance to the batter to hit.

 

[Lokomotiv]

By the way, what do you think such change in Cricket?

"The Batting side can reduce the number of runs"

For example, when the stronger Batsman scored 4s or 6s in the last ball of an over, the batting side reduce 1 point in order to continue the batting of the stronger Batsman.

What do you think about the idea that cricket is just fine the way it is and doesn't need any changes? Especially not changes proposed by someone with very little understanding of the game.

You telling others to educate themselves by searching terms?

That's such a boring tactical ploy. I'm glad cricket doesn't have stuff like this in it.

Yes I agree. The number of games of Baseball is too large and in digestion games such things happen. The number of walks should be counted for the hitting rate for deciding the "best batter".

By the way, is there punishment for the Bowler for too many no-balls/wide-balls?

I really dunno if you're for real or not sometimes, but I'll play.

In cricket, a wide or no-ball is re-bowled and the batting team receive 1 run. In some short form cricket, a front foot no-ball means the batsman gets a free hit on the next ball bowled and he can't be dismissed on it.

I don't even think this is true. Why on earth would you intentionally walk everyone in the team + 2 others. Who are you intending to get out if you keep gifting the batting team extra bases and runs.

 

[Red]

So in baseball, if the bases are loaded and a batter gets a walk, do they all come home or is it just the guy on 1st base?

 

[NUFAN]

Everyone moves ahead one extra base, so the guy on 3rd, goes home.

 

[Riggins]

just the guy on third.
