Reg Explains Cricket

[TheUKog]

so when overtime/extratime is a draw what then?? Extratime followed by extra-extra time? or overtime followed by over-overtime? followed by over-over-overtime?

you have to concede that when two teams lack the capability of beating one another, nobody can win, sporting events would go on for Days!

[thesnofjake]

@StudentOfObjectivism A draw is what drives me insane in anything, let alone in a sport. All American sports have an overtime until an absolute conclusion is made. Where as you sit and watch a football match for 90 minutes for nobody to win. It's infuriating... That and the blatant diving the players often do.

[kumquatmagoo]

@thesnofjake - If you and your opponents go at it for 90 minutes and there isn't anything in the scoreline to show a clear winner, I think a draw is fair. I'm quite happy to accept that they are both good teams.

Maybe America is a little too obsessed with winners and losers? I don't know, I'm English.

[iseabbv]

@thesnofjake What is wrong with drawing?

[arcube642]

THEY KNOW OUR SECRETS

[chewser117]

I don't believe I have ever been so confused about a "sport".

[lschmidt814]

@StudentofObjectivism you clearly know nothing about american sports. Rugby and american Football share very little besides shape of the ball used. Players get concussions, broken bones, torn ligaments and tendons, and other serious injuries frequently in football. That is with full pads. Unless you frequently get your ass dropped by 250 pound linebacker when you are wearing no protection, I suggest you shut up.

[StudentOfObjectivism]

@lschmidt814 I think you have responded to the wrong person, given that I said nothing at all about American Handball (which, let's face it, would be a much more appropriate name for your national sport).

[wazzaa4u]

this commentary can be applied to baseball too haha

[skippiperke20000]

@wazzaa4u Baseball requires much more skill.

[MrHDizzla]

@skippiperke20000 It really doesn't, also how does that make is comment invalid?

[iseabbv]

@skippiperke20000 I doubt that. Ever tried bowling in cricket? You have so many different areas and lengths to bowl at, and you have to have at least decent co-ordination other wise you either fall over of get creamed for 6 every time.

[nosocialforme]

this is not a bad attempt at humor....especially since it seems like he practically knows nothing about the sport. i wonder if this guy is able to comprehend baseball

[thewestben06]

v neck. i dont fuck with no crew neck when i play cricket.

[damonskates]

like their wives, we will humor them

[AIFRANCHISE1]

Its all about how your socialized...I personally found cricket alot easier to understand than football...When i first watched a game of American football, I'm like why a bunch of grown ass men jumping on each other.

[ThePhatIndian]

@AIFRANCHISE1 Rugby is more international and similar to football in many respects.

[biloxiparish]

Successfully summing up the most boring sport my primary school ever endeavoured to teach us, I don't know if you have to be posh to find this shit enjoyable but it's even boring when you're participating let alone watching it for "pleasure". >:)

[kli74]

I'd love to see cricket, rugby, football(European), and some how F1 racing come together to make F1 Fricket

[StudentOfObjectivism]

That was pretty funny. Well done. Even as a fan of the sport I can definitely see why Americans think it is boring or stupid... I guess the point is that one could just as easily watch the American equivalent of those men playing Baseball and say 'wow, baseball blows', but it wouldn't really mean anything.

[Roksonixx]

@StudentOfObjectivism As far as i can tell, America takes every sport in the world, dumbs it down a bit, and then that's their version of it. Look at baseball...they only have a quarter pitch - they can't even hit the ball behind them. Look at American Football, that's rugby except everyone's running around with pillows as padding in case they get hurt. Look at nascar, looks very much like rallying except there's no corners involved.

[MrBigalftw]

@Roksonixx Are you really trying to defend Cricket? lmfao Let's hate on American sports and start watching Cricket guiz!

[Roksonixx]

@MrBigalftw America has to dumb everything down for its own people. Just sayin'.

[StudentOfObjectivism]

@Roksonixx Yeah, I don't see the appeal of most American sports, tbh. Basketball looks quite fun, I guess, but with 'hoops' (that's what they call them right?) being made every few seconds I don't see how it would maintain it's interest. Have you noticed, American sports very rarely end in a draw; in English sports it is far harder for one side to get a result.

[XgenieX95]

@BFBCFTW Yeah sometimes lol i'd prefer basketball and rugby union instead tho haha :p

[Fly2Azeroth]

2:16 spot on, that is what it is to be British

[bananahammock1234567]

...and if you can do all that without falling over, you win one cricket

[ZombieSlayer1210]

...AND THATS CRICKET!

[eldeano1]

I wan't to be a sweater collector as a full time job :L

[Nikon05]

[jesusonthevolley]

I don't fuck wit no crewneck when I play cricket

[thicky]

[NickyDee86]

'There is no way these men can call themselves athletes but, like their wives, we will humour them.'

lmfao

[XgenieX95]

@tommobwejuu Haha yes you are right however the rest of my family are all in love with i just don't see the fun in it haha :D

[fmehta]

Sweater collector! Brilliant!

[XgenieX95]

Criket is the most boring sport ever!!....and i'm an aussie!

[tommobwejuu]

@XgenieX95 You probably find cricket boring because you are an Aussie!! :D

[BFBCFTW]

@XgenieX95 Boring to watch, fun to play.

[Rejii16]

LMFAO4DAYS About 5 of my friends have posted this on my Facebook page saying you sound like a future me, we have the same name and we talk just alike except your voice sounds a little deeper...Just had to let ya know that you've succeeded in adding even more epicness to the Reg name! Kudos!

[jazzmanzoot]

Reg knows more about the game, than I do !

The bit about getting drunk at the end is right!

[BigCatSupreme]

Crafty Rascal!

[canastaman]

lmao

[Knoh]

This should be a series. "Reginald explains..." with episodes like football, british quisine, politics, trains, legos, marmite, post it-notes, fossils... Sorry, lost my thought there for a minute.

[TheMungDuffins]

@Knoh Yeah, that's pretty much what the top comment says.

[Knoh]

@TheMungDuffins My bad. I watched the video first and got excited about my witty little anecdote and never bothered to look what was the top rated comment. As if that really matters. But I'm not ashamed of it. It happens to a lot of guys and it could happen to YOU too. Next time I'll make sure to look for the top rated comment before making any more witty little anecdotes, I promise. Thank you, Mung Duffins (if that is your real name)!

[ChristopherDone]

@Knoh And curling.

[KurtCobainof21]

In cricket you just have to look like you about to do something and then you stop hahahah

[Fungie10Music]

"...they try to get it back to the man with the really big hands..." < priceless!

[muraliavarma]

I love cricket and I love this description more :D

[MrSuperPeaches]

Brilliant.. Reg should do one for bowls

[TheEditingShop]

But like their wives, we will humour them.

[daveknowsall]

[thinkasecond]

[HolbyCityHospital]

[MrNzzo]

4 cricketers found time during a game to come here and give this their thumbs down.

Cricket sucks and blows......thumbs up ?

[TheSudiplimbu]

ollie williams!!

[lovesylvie]

The tears in my eyes :')

[couthyband]

this just has to be the start of something ...Reginald D on eccentric british stuff....will try and get it to my niece who works as editor of programming...anyone else out there ?...this will make your name if you can pitch it to the right people

[lanpingpug]

When was this on TV? Was it from a series?

[ProtestTheIndie]

@lanpingpug Quite clearly say at the start 'web exclusive'

[lanpingpug]

@ProtestTheIndie Okay, I just thought it might be a promo for something that might later be on TV.

[TheComedianGuy1]

@idiotfullstop Ok, so you're waaay too dumb to appreciate this not particularly advanced form of humour. Well at least you're willing to admit it.

[Jackwantstea]

'These men can't possibly call themselves athletes, but like their wives, we will humour them'

[chanctonbury63]

@idiotfullstop Theres some good standup. Sitcoms are almost exclusively garbage.

[patternman74]

I would love to see a series of British things explained by RDH.

[UFBMusic]

@patternman74 I would totally watch that! get the BBC on the phone!

[BodaciousWickerman]

So true.

[CaptainPositron]

2:13 touche.

[born2thrilll]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA -that is all-

[Hemingway212]

the sweater collecter... aaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahaha­h

[ROFLCOPTERftw3]

Will they make more of this???

[derebin]

lmao xD

I'm not sure if this is just as funny to people who actually understand cricket...

god help them if they do. *shudder*

[1Goldfan1]

@derebin It's funnier to people who actually understand cricket! Nothing we like more than taking the piss out of our own game :P

[simsxD]
