Click timestamps to jump to that momentwe got the semi-final of the t20 world
cup pakistan versus australia if you're
not familiar with cricket the only
context you need to know for this moment
is that australia needs to score 20 more
runs from the next 10 balls there's a
pitch limit on the whole game so once
pakistan throws 10 more balls
the game's over and australia on those
10 need to score 20 runs so the pakistan
crowd is getting
noise i got so into this tournament
during my paternity leave the last
couple weeks and this one's brought to
you by draftkings go to draftkings use
the promo code john boy when you
download the number one sportsbook app
all right we got wader up looking like a
sexy australian fireman and here we go
the pitcher or should i say bowler for
pakistan's like a young stud earlier in
the match he looked amazing now he's
trying to finish it off and does he have
an out here that's catchable it's
catchable it's dropped in cricket once
you're out you're out for good so waiter
would be done for this game and that is
a big miss and australia is going to
score two runs and look at the reactions
he just kind of overran it it was right
there look oh no
oh
bummer
so australia gets two runs this guy says
it's okay it's okay
i'm a good teammate you're gonna be
golden he wouldn't be it would be pretty
costly here comes the next ball and he
goes scoop shot on him it doesn't matter
which way you hit it as long as it goes
over the boundary it's an automatic six
runs so there you go he just got eight
in the last two balls that is a cool
shot i don't really get it the next one
he's gonna swing big again this time
puts enough into it back to back sixes
all the way
and now the next ball he goes scoop
again hits it on the fly three sixes in
a row to win it for australia to send
them to the finals against new zealand
which is being played tomorrow 9 a.m
draftkings i already went to the app and
i put some money on australia to beat
new zealand they're kind of the favorite
let's just go australia i lived there i
played cricket on the school yard in
australia also australia's got some
short batsmen and they shaved mustaches
so i kind of just like everything about
that i'm super interested and obviously
i know less than uh anyone that follows
cricket is um when he goes for this
scoop shot he's got a 100 percent commit
and
you know they talk about length of the
ball
in in cricket so ins you know if you
want it to be high you got to bounce it
here if you want it to be low you got to
hit it there and you got to kind of
guess as a batsman what the length is
going to be because you can't scoop one
if he doesn't
if he goes short with you and then it
bounces high so like this one you know
it's deep into his feet and he's able to
scoop shot that is there like tipping
does the other batsman like kind of give
it away how do you know
because it
seems like he was set up because this
one now
the bowler he's going to bounce this one
way shorter than that last one it's like
see where it bounces and he knows he can
sit and rock that one
and then the third one
maybe maybe the bowler got predictable
maybe someone can maybe it's the same
thing like baseball and you can kind of
tip it but there's no catcher calling it
and this one i mean it's the full length
it doesn't even bounce and he knows he
can scoop that as well
so i guess everyone that's an actual uh
cricket fan and understands you know the
strategy of batsmen
is that something they're trying to
figure out is that something they can
have a tip on or you know
did he just happen to guess correctly
each time
let me know
