Great Way to Save a Sixer by Sri Lankan Fielder

[dookykoots]

lol 69

[Khan12078]

it should in essence be a six, since its out of the boundary line

[leredsock]

@Khan12078 but it hasn't made contact with the ground. doesn't that matter.

[Khan12078]

@leredsock then why is their a boundary line, it signifies anything crossing that line is 4 or 6.

[leredsock]

@Khan12078 the boundary line shows whether the shot was a 4 or a six. so if the ball makes first contact with the ground, after crossing the boundary line, then it's a six. but if it made contact with the ground before the boundary line, it's a four.

but i don't know the specifics to the ruling, because what if a spectator jumps off their seat and throws the ball back to a fielder? technically the call hasn't made contact with the ground. but i'm guessing there's a rule to prevent that.

Fairly sure this is Angelo Mathews



[irock9114]

@CerealKid21 it is him!!!

[SRILANKANnationalist]

I was there...will never forget this moment

[Absiintheee]

Why have they changed the rule?

To be able to do this takes skill.. and promotes cricket. You think I'd be watching fucking cricket videos if it wasn't for cool shit like this?

[mehadi1000]

@Absiintheee totally agreed

[adwaitbhagwat]

Did anyone notice the direct hit?!

[BobAndGeorgia02]

awsome effort. That is an athlete!!! Six or not, it was fantastic

[robborabies1]

Adam Voges did this in a T/20 and he actually caught it. Well this was much harder to even stop the 6 but the Voges catch was nothing short of brilliant.

[Pumpernickellll]

That is a six now though, you can't jump in the air anymore they changed the law at the end of 2010.

[Moppy1988]

@Pumpernickellll why?

[Pumpernickellll]

@Moppy1988

Basically if you jump in the air and touch the ball youu have to jump from inside the boundry.

[Pumpernickellll]

@Pumpernickellll It wont let me add the link but search for this: October 2010 Laws of cricket changes - Ball over the boundary

[Moppy1988]

@Pumpernickellll Shit rule, that takes some of the fun out of it.

[BarcaNo9]

To be honest I haven't read the rules but I think it would go against the spirit of the game to award this a six. yes, he is airborne, but he jumps from OUTSIDE the field of play. Imagine a fielder climbing over the fence, jumping amongst the crowd and swatting the ball volleyball style back into the field of play. It's just not cricket.

[TheGeeeeKay]

u dumb John81355 its not a six learn rule mannn !!



[NickWatcher]

@TheGeeeeKay LeaRN the fucking rules yourself! Since the law changes of October 2010 this would be a six!

[dooshsayswhat]

That's a six, as well as poor fielding.

[gornmaker]

@dooshsayswhat its not a six because the ball didnt hit the ground and when the fielder came in contact with the ball he was also in the air

[dooshsayswhat]

@gornmaker oops i meant to say "not" a six

[manjunath2417]

superb work....!!



[John81355]

No billy...It's a SIX.....

[termanator3136]

great peace of fielding

[theblackone2006]

Its not a six. He made contact with the ball when he was inside the boundary. When he put the ball back into play he was airborn. Based on the law - not a six. They clarified the laws (LAW 19.4)

[B1985A]

How is this not a six? Even though he is in the air when he taps the ball back in, he jumped in the air from outside the boundary. This means it doesn't matter if he was in the air or not if he touches the ball its six.

[FaTeVeWy]

lol his number

[robbo4pm]

couldn't you just keep jumping and tapping it up into the air so that you can then make an easy catch once you tap it back into the field?

[BigBadBlogger]

Logically if he's already over the boundary rope and then jumping, it should be a six shouldn't it?

[lankanlionlk]

@BigBadBlogger

no coz he is in air when he push the ball in.

but this isnt an example of best fielding, good fielders catch those

[Sole123ification]

@cricket4life45 Wtf is wrong wit you shit head?? Gt some fkin glasses if you are tht blind

[tenzindudoul]

I love the background music. Shake shake, shake shake, shake it!

[CHAMI49]

[cricket4life45]

Its A Six Wankers

[HighLordBlaze]

@cricket4life45 wank away, hater. wank away...

[cricket4life45]

@HighLordBlaze Its A Six And I Predict That You Are One Of Those Gay Sri 0Lankans.He Clearly Put His Foot Outside The Boudary Rope Then Hit It Back In I Just Found Another Person To Go Catch A Bus To Hoboville And Wanker Your Grandma

[HighLordBlaze]

@cricket4life45 he put his foot down, and then took em off the ground before he put it back in. funny how you're all tryna be experts at the game when the authorities decided it wasnt a six. and stop starting every damn word with a capital. and... you "predict"? i pity your english skills, mate, i really do...

oh and fyi, using 'gay' in that sentence makes you a homophobic as well x)

[cricket4life45]

@HighLordBlaze It Doesnt Matter that He put His Foot Down And Then Hit It In Because You Got To Either Be In Air Or On The Boundary or On the Rope And Im More Of An Expert For Cricket Than You Will ever Be You "GAY" Oh No Wait Im A Homophobic Exuse Me While I Sit In The Corner And Cry LOL I Like Capital Leters Thankyou Very Much:]

[HighLordBlaze]

@cricket4life45 he WAS in the air, you blind fuck

[cricket4life45]

@HighLordBlaze Get Over It You Gay Nigga Ohh Wait Im A "HOMOPHOBIC" Who Cares

[petieee]

I thought that was a six but I actually checked the officials rules and it looks fine. That wasn't a boundary.

[rcaddict72]

to all the arguers..the score is taken from the last place you stood. if thats in bounds then its not a six.. if you stepped out of bounds..and grounded..then u must re enter the in bounds area and then ground, to be considered back in play. thats why they jump in the air and throw the ball back in bounds- so the last place was in bounds.

[paraisabin]

that is a SIX!! he grounded outside the rope n pushed the ball in from there. IT is a SIX!!

[madhawa101]

@paraisabin you blithering idiot he was airborne when he pushed it in......

[paraisabin]

@madhawa101 u can't just get out of the stadium n push it in( jumping) n catching it inside boundary n call it a catch DUMB!! Just use sense n think if u have brain..!

[madhawa101]

@paraisabin you Indians have small brains....... so you stop a boundary but you go over the rope ... come back to the ground and trough it back..... in theory so that also be a 4 don't it ....... PLZ next time think before you hit the keys in keyboard.....you moron...ROFL! :P

[MrFataIity]

@paraisabin Yeah, they changed the rule after this

[HighLordBlaze]

@paraisabin it is a SIX! yes! you need glasses! yes!

[sd123456789100]

good cricket

[tcsonline]

i dont understand why this wasnt a 6 ? He hit the ball back, after jumping from over the the ropes.. that's a six!

[zockey99]

@tcsonline but it doesnt count if your not touching the ground

[sd123456789100]

@tcsonline that is not soccer

[tcsonline]

@sd123456789100 .... obviously this needs some common sense applied to it.. just like when running between the wickets, if the batsmans bat is grounded inside the crease.. he cannot get run out, even if he jumps in the air. This should be exactly the same as the boundary rope.

[MegaHaxan]

ian bishop isnt happy it seems. westindies were losing and they needed sixes but mathews and srilanka didnt allow them to hit sixes. Hear his commentary carefully. He seems dull.
