New Zealand Beats England in HISTORIC match, a breakdown

processes for Baseball fans I think are

really interesting like oh wait that's

something that they do because we play

with Innings and home and away and top

of the inning and bottom and we don't do

that stuff so I'm I'm just gonna use

baseball terms for the whole video if

you're a cricket fan I apologize but

it's easier for people that have no idea

what this is if I just use baseball

terms also if you're a cricket fan

there's so much nuance and context and

really fun stuff like beneath the layers

that I'm just gonna leave out to make it

a little easier to understand so this

video is brought to you by DraftKings I

appreciate you DraftKings thank you for

sponsoring the general most boiled down

basic basic gameplay or concept of test

Cricket is from a baseball perspective

two inning games

two innings but

in the inning the entire batting order

bats all 10 batters and they hit until

they get out and doubles are worth four

runs and home runs are worth six runs

but you can still get singles and

doubles and triples and four runs and

even five runs by hitting it and then

running the bases so think of that okay

the entire lineup hits they hit until

they get out doubles are worth four home

runs are worth six and you just get as

many runs as you can runs are common

outs are rare and baseball outs are

common runs are rare two innings so the

Fielding team has to get all 10 batters

out before they switch sides they split

this up over the course of five days if

it goes that long so that's why people

are like one game lasts five days yeah

in this version but it's kind of like

how a five game series lasts five days

there's Ebbs and flows there's there's

all this stuff that's going on

England is playing unbelievable Cricket

right now they're attacking the ball

they're trying to score runs on every

single ball because unlike baseball

s are nothing

and there's not really strikes

so you could foul it off or you could

just let a ball go and stay at bat

forever they have to get you out by

hitting the Wicket which is the three

stumps you get caught out or you try to

run and they throw you out like running

bases

so what's going on in this match is

England they hit first because they're

the away team so it's in New Zealand

they're the away team so in the top of

the first inning England scores

435 runs it's a lot of runs that's where

Baseball fans are like my brain what

and the best part is they didn't get all

their outs they had two more outs to go

but the game has to end

at the end of five days otherwise it's a

draw so sometimes the strategy is like

let's just not score runs but also not

get out and drag this on and if New

Zealand has no way of coming back to win

maybe they just try to drag it out and

play for the draw Americans fans just

blew their brains out play for the tie

what is the soccer anyway so they have

435 runs and only eight outs and they

say we declare

we don't give a [ __ ] that's enough for

us we're tired and we don't think you're

gonna beat that so

you're good you don't have to get the

next two outs

we'll just go have some tea come back

out and we'll pitch to you and get you

out so they do that

it's kind of like you know just bullying

them from up top

keeping the momentum because at the end

of the batting order are the pitchers

and they aren't good hitters now

granted's better than baseball where

some pitchers like really can't hit they

can hold their own but maybe they those

outs come really easily and then there's

some momentum shift for New Zealand

because they ended it by getting their

outs well no we declare we're done we

got four you're out Joe root just hit

150 runs and we call it so New Zealand

comes up

and they score one run

so now they're only down by 434

and then they get out their opening

batsman gets out they go one run one out

and then a little bit later they get

they're at seven runs and then they get

their second out it's awful start it's

just brutal

they end up the bottom of the first New

Zealand scores

209 runs which gives England a

226 run lead after the first inning this

is where the thought exercise for

Baseball fans gets really fun they have

something called a follow-on basically

England is like

we're up by 200

and we don't want to have to go hit

again score another 400 runs waste

everyone's time

and then get you out

let's just switch it we get home field

now you guys follow on you just hit

follow yourselves hit again see if you

can beat us because if you can't even

score 226 runs then there's no point in

US hitting again

kind of a wild concept when I first

found out about this I'm like what when

the Yankees at Mariano Rivera I always

was like yank you should just forfeit

the top of the ninth who cares just go

to the bottom ninth bring Moen and end

the game kind of like that

what does New Zealand do well instead of

going seven for two with their opening

batsman this time they put up

149 runs before making a single out

so New Zealand's showing some fight

but now it's a race because they got to

score a lot of runs to get a big enough

lead but also have to leave enough time

to bowl England out when they get up so

when New Zealand finally gets out and

now the top of the second inning they

have scored 483 runs in the second

inning so they lead by

257 runs well England put up 435 and

only on only eight outs they should

probably be able to score 257 on 10 outs

and that's where the fun begins I'm

gonna skip

all the way ahead to the last half hour

of this match because every ball was

incredibly intense I hope you followed

that I know I did it really quickly

but just the concept of declaring

and follow on is so

bully-ish I love it

and I think they play it off as a

gentlemanly thing like it's a gentleman

sport but I don't know there's no way I

mean it's just it's so much like you're

wasting our time so we'll just not even

try and give you the next two outs we'll

spot you the two outs and

you're wasting our time we don't even

think we need to hit again and if we do

just let us know how many we need to

beat you

because we don't want to go put up 800

runs and then you guys only scored 200

again it's so [ __ ] up so only three

teams in the history of test Cricket

have ever been told to follow on and

then come back and won the match and

spoiler that's what you're about to see

so I'm gonna start the video at the end

here

this is how you read the scoreboard up

top you have 248 runs disregard that

number because you have to do the math

anyway that's what England is scoring in

the second inning they already put up to

435 earlier the eight at the end that's

how many outs so they have two left

they need 10 runs to win nine to tie and

the two batters that are up are folks

he's got 32 runs off of 49 balls and

leech who has not scored a run and face

19 balls now leech is a pitcher so he

doesn't bring the bat he doesn't have a

lot of offense folks is a hitter so

their strategy is to keep folks at bat

and let him you know get some doubles or

home runs and that's all so they could

run for one right there but they don't

want to change who's hitting because

then if leech gets out which he's more

likely to then they only have one left

and something fluky could happen so they

got all these chances right here to just

be pepper and singles and keep the line

moving and they don't take them which

I'm sure they're gonna regret but that's

the strategy you see how New Zealand is

playing the Outfield way out well they

finally changed on that last hit they

did run for a single so now it's nine to

win and now look at New Zealand instead

of playing The Outfield and covering the

doubles in the home runs the fours and

the sixes if it hits the boundary or it

goes over the boundary I'm using

baseball terms

they bring the infield in because they

want to get this guy's Wicket they want

to get him out because then they're one

away from winning the thing so instead

of the Outfield being out they shift

everyone in and they really get really

in there they try to smother them and

the bowler tries to just go hard they

think they might have one here they

think they might have one here it goes

no no no no no no no no let's review it

why not at this point and did it hit his

Bat no it hit leech in the chest so he's

not out now folks is on strike again

and again he's hitting the ball to the

Outfield but they're just not taking

those as as singles right there they

could run there and they could get it

but they don't want to risk putting the

bowler the pitcher up so finally they

take one here and when they do they say

let's go for two let's go for two let's

go for two perfect throw I mean it's it

hits the wickets dead on look at that

from out there but he was safe so they

go for two again to keep folks the the

batsman on strike and then he hits that

one in the air Wagner this guy who's

gonna be a hero later he catches it and

oh no now they have that ninth out and

it's the batsman so he's pretty pissed

because now he's left his two pitchers

in bad shape and southie's smiling but I

think he's a little bit like well are we

really gonna do this though but now they

got two

they got two Bowlers pitchers up

Anderson and Leach both have scored zero

runs one of them's got to score runs and

now you see

that New Zealand kind of has you know

like three infielders in and then some

out because they really need to preserve

this seven runs and they lose and

they're just trying to bust them up and

now they switch and these guys are just

trying to survive and mistakenly get

some runs oh there's a big swing is it

gonna be caught it drops and the keeper

it was like the catcher he kind of gives

up on this one and Wagner the bowlers

like I don't know man I think you maybe

could have got it but he he thinks that

he maybe has help so he pulls off it

falls in no man's land

so now it's six to win and he swings big

Anderson does he's one of the best

Bowlers in cricket he swings big so now

it's two to win because that was a

double four runs so one run ties it two

wins it if that gets past him maybe

that's one to tie it but he made a

diving stop to keep them still but every

single ball just had so much drama and

pressure so that's a nice stop to keep

it there now we're getting nervous in

the crowd we're getting very nervous

okay two to win here we go and Edge them

catches him and New Zealand wins

historic I mean down to the last that

last ball I think the odds still would

have been like England's gonna win and

they are ecstatic the fans in the crowd

look at this guy he go get that yes he's

all excited Wagner's screaming uh

Anderson's just sad I like this woman

jumping up and down uh just so excited

and these guys I think the guy in the

right is a New Zealand fan the guy in

the left is a English is an England fan

because one's excited one goes hat on

the head and then he just deflates

let's watch him deflate again oh god oh

and then I do think this old man fell

asleep I do think sadly he missed that

these three friends want to hug the guy

on the outside like I want to be part of

that come closer and they're like yeah

get in here get in here this guy down

there his shirt doesn't fit great but he

wants to celebrate it kind of kind of

half-hearted look at these guys

they're really excited and then I think

we have an English couple here that's

just like oh no well

it was a fun first two days

and yeah this is every other time it

happened in history we're going back to

1894. 1981

2000 and then 2023 history and this
