@WritingTed@rameenwhile You only got one out per match in cricket. Baseballer might connect a few balls and hit for six, but top cricketers have over 40 run averages. Even if the ball hits the legs in direct line of stumps, batter is out.
@cjwalters4242 “Chris Lynn's famous monster six out of The Gabba traveled an official/measured distance of 121 meters.” Which is precisely 396 feet 11.78 inch.
@astcbpe In cricket, you can get out only once. Legends like Sachin had 44 batting averages. You can’t hit 2 sixes and think you can build a career in cricket.
@TunafishSndwch This ball out rule was removed later for a tie breaker was removed later, but bowling is not the same as throwing, you can’t bend your elbow.
@seltzer42@Jamesh17 It’s actually due to the soil. “A Cricket Pitch Curator is a specialist groundskeeper responsible for designing, constructing, and maintaining the 22-yard strip used for cricket matches.”
They can a make low scoring game by adding grass, moisture content, rolling intensity, etc.
@TortsIllustrtd@ssnemani There is more to cricket than you can imagine, in test matches once the ball gets worn, the ball starts to swing in opposite direction in the air.
@BlameBootsy@basrasahab Not just bounce, older ball in test matches starts moving in opposite to the conventional swing in the air, it’s called reverse swing.
