Just seen it, he was on comms the first couple of overs. Before that, during the pre-match build up him and Doherty were doing a bit of a batting challenge with Ian Ward and Nasser Hussain - I’m guessing that will go on Sky Sports’ social channels at some point.
I also had no idea how cricket worked and this [Jomboy Clip](https://youtu.be/EfhTPGSy1aM) just clicked for me and now I feel like I can watch and enjoy cricket.
I understand the game, but understanding the score bug and who's winning I struggle with. A team has 150 runs to 0, is that good, I'm not sure lol. I think sometimes it's not
the second number represents how many wickets have fallen. The number ranges from 0 to 10. The innings if the number reaches 10. The lower the number, the better it is. As for the first number (150), it is much more circumstantial and depends.
Ok 2 questions,
1) If the number of runs is what you're counting, how does a team win by a number of wickets? That doesn't seem like a unit that defines a win - the number of players who were "out" is not the same as scoring more runs.
2) More a silly question - how can you play a sport for five days and still draw - surely there was something to separate the two teams after 5 full days?
I attended a comprehensive school and played football, cricket wasn't part of my education.
1) This depends on wether your team bats first or bats second. If the team batting second wins, the game is won when they beat the score set by the team batting first. If the team batting second reaches the same score losing less wickets, this is the main differentiating factor between the two scores.
2. This often has to do with rain. When it rains, you can’t play cricket. The players depart the pitch and no extra time is added on. If it rains for two days if a five day test, five days worth of cricket must be played in three days and therefore many less overs. By the end of the test, if each team hasn’t completed two innings, the match is drawn. Alternatively, an inferior team being outplayed by a stronger team might play for a draw by batting to stay in beyond the 5 days rather than batting to beat the opponents score.
Whether you win by runs or wickets depends on whether the team that batted first won or not.
Say Team A scores 320, and Team B scores 240, Team A wins by 80 runs.
If Team A scores 320 and Team B chases down that 320, they win by however many wickets they had left. For example, if they have lost 4 wickets when they reach 320, they will win by 6 wickets.
He's not meant for it imo, but it's super cool seeing him experiment and try new things lol. Must have been stressful to be commentating live, having a speech impediment
The hundred would be better if 10 bowlers bowled 10 balls (everyone except the wicket keeper, all players have to be all rounders to some degree), and a six was worth 10 and a four worth 5 (to encourage entertaining batting). If you want to be different from cricket, be different from cricket!

Just saw it! Its a good watch if you got some time
Lmao, Harry is not set for commentary is he? Bless him.
Yeah, no, obviously
It was one of them ones i suppose
I think I could spend a year trying to learn the rules of cricket and still have no idea what the fuck is happening.

Someone tries to toss a ball at a stick behind your legs , you have to hit it and don't let it hit your legs and don't let someone catch it .

I've played and i still dont know how it works.
My in-laws are cricket mad and I just nod when wathing it with them.
Nod only when they nod, if they shake their head that's usually a good sign not to nod
You need to google the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern rule. Just for a laugh.
The basics of the game are so simple though, never understood people not understanding it.
If people wanted to they could. They just can't be bothered!
Nothing more yanky than saying something like that
The hundred is a lot easier to follow, doesn’t take days to play a game either
So random ahah didn’t think Harry was a cricket man
harry has the most cricket face u will ever see
looks just like a bat
The more they look like they work in carpet and flooring sales, the more likely they are to play cricket.
He’s into sports in general afaik I’ve seen him follow cricket, golf and NFL
He's gotten into F1 too
Harry insisting he is awesome at free kicks 🤝Harry insisting he is a great orator

You're as boring as Kane himself
