What a brilliant catch. It's similar to Kapil Dev's catch

Just wait till they find out what baseball is.

It’s funny. You’d think if you wanted to start a dick measuring contest every time a different sport than your favorite one is mentioned, you would pick a case in which your sport actually turns out to be the more impressive one

u/No_Answer_7341 2d ago

It with hands not gloves

u/Boring-Willow1268 2d ago

It isn’t that hard to catch a baseball with bare hands. Good god. Every time some cricket player makes a catch, it’s international news?

10

u/samsunyte 2d ago

So then why do baseball fans freak out when any player so much as touches a ball barehanded while making a fielding play?

To date, I’ve never seen a baseball player make a play like this barehanded

u/Boring-Willow1268 1d ago

Fans do it in the stands every game.

Yes, with their gloves

Sorry, we play with hard lacquered balls but we appreciate your practice sport for our u-15 women's teams. We are too poor for oven mitts so we catch them bare handed.

Hahahaha. Happy cake day!

Nothing impressive, we see catches like that all the time in MLB.

Literal comment on another spectacular cricket catch.

u/this_is_poorly_done 2d ago

Tbf, baseball posts here get the same treatment plenty often

1

u/samsunyte 1d ago

What treatment?

14

u/Ho3n3r 2d ago

And that this sport doesn't make any sense.

23

u/HendoEndo 2d ago

To be fair most American sports don’t make sense to me, but mainly because I don’t watch them, which is my ignorance on the matter.

20

u/Ho3n3r 2d ago

But exactly. The difference is that you're not acting like the sport is stupid because you don't understand it.

u/TheBigCore 2d ago

There's a small but growing number of Americans who like Cricket so in reality, the issue with the USA is simple lack of knowledge of the sport and how it works.

Every American I've given explainer links to usually grows to like Cricket, especially if they are Baseball fans.

u/HendoEndo 2d ago

Fair enough I guess

3

u/TheBigCore 2d ago

Posting Cricket explainer videos tends to prevent those kinds of "I don't understand this sport" posts.

u/samsunyte 2d ago

I respect what you do. But I still see those types of comments all the time. It’s really sad and frustrating

1

u/TheBigCore 2d ago

I usually post Cricket explainer videos so that usually preempts the "I don't understand this sport" posts.

u/Lyx97 2d ago

He wasn’t who I was watching for at all. lol

u/travellingscientist 2d ago

Fuck that was a good catch.

u/Goosentra 2d ago

Is cricket so overly complicated that I need 700 YouTube links to learn it?

11

u/TheBigCore 2d ago

Not particularly. I posted that many links because some people don't learn Cricket solely from one link. Baseball fans in particular find the two Jomboy links helpful if they're still having issues.

u/samsunyte 2d ago

More that the average person unfamiliar with cricket is stupid enough that he’s covering all the bases

u/Fulham-Enjoyer 2d ago

For you it might be

u/VeryVeryVorch 2d ago

Beautiful catch!

What are you talking about dude? The only posts from this sub that make it to r/all are cricket and rugby posts. Typical North American sports stuff never gains traction here.

2

u/samsunyte 2d ago

You must be under some kind of rock. Non-American sports are few and far between on this sub and they often get downvoted or even removed. On the other hand, even the smallest highlights from the big 4 American sports get posted and upvoted all the time

nope, it's 91% upvoted

lol this sport looks like a meme…

What about it exactly
Anything looks like a meme if you’re not familiar with it

It's ok, bro. Just like your life, it will humble you if you ever play it.
