 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, welcome back to our stupid regs. It's Gordon. I'm Rick You follow the Instagram Twitter for more juicy content the expatron follows to account scribe in the link button I'm a truly great mom All living in the country love to day We have We have a click to the matrix We have a video this is called master class the unplayable Yorker So it's going to be explaining the Yorker to us in detail Has anyone come up with a completely never before seen Yorker and called it the New Yorker? Shut up. Can you explain a Yorker? It's a Bowlers throw that does a Yorkie thing It was actually created first by somebody who was perfecting it while they were bowling and Unfortunately struck their York either their Yorkshire terrier Welcome to our masterclass regarding the Yorker with me is NASA saying the former England captain and batsman NASA Define the Yorker for me Well, the Yorker fish is basically a ball that lands somewhere near this white line called a pop increase It is where the batter stands generally That's where they straddle that white line and what the bowl has tried to do is come in and get it as close to that line As close to the bottom of your bat as they can the reason they do that because it's very difficult to get underneath It's mainly used in white ball cricket as a defensive tactic But it's also used quite a bit in red ball cricket where maybe there's a bit of reverse swing going around Okay, the impact of not being able to get under the ball from a batting perspective and why that's so important for myself as a Bowler well batsman when batting in test match cricket the length ball out there becomes a danger ball because it moves around in White ball cricket that ball actually what we define as the slot bounces up to the middle of the bat So it gives you good Leverage to hit the ball from the middle of the bat as it bounces up and it's got so many areas You can hit that ball to when it's bouncing here The middle of the bat almost goes out of play because it's always hitting the toe of the bat in our era when people like Wakkar and wazim were hitting that hole Constantly we don't have the fancy shots they have now So we were constantly just getting it away and also captains can set a really good feel to it because they know Or they used to know where you can hit the Yorker at best and the volume of runs that are derived from missing that length and hitting That length or what well if you look at a Hawkeye example that we've gone Look at the difference between the slot the strike rates the slot when you get your length What you'd like in test match cricket at 2 to 9 that strike rate But if you get it absolutely spot-on where the batter is standing that strike rate drops to 92 That is a huge difference. That's the difference between winning a game and losing a game So if you can get it right here The batsman can't do much about it. If you get it wrong you usually disappear out the park Very informative Yorkers at searing place What about as a boulder dish how difficult is it to hit this line Consistently and when do you go for that delivery? That's a good question. We've got a couple of balls down here I'll just use one of these First of all your grip whether you what Nasser has a bowler Want to try to execute the Yorker with a seam up positions a love Bullets now are holding and cross seem to get better traction on it And I think the first thing we hear a number of bowlers like classic Malinga practicing bowling at the shoe He has a three-quarter delivery Stump but you must know and practice where you're releasing the ball to have some feel in order to Sure, why release this very very would you drop your arm at all? You mentioned Malinga there I play with Darren golf who was a brilliant Yorker Is that helpful that sort of slightly more slingy action it could be because the margins for error for someone like a Lasset Malinga would be less it'll be sort of a flat. Yeah, cuz it's coming at its sideways versus straight guys Who would deliver it from high and create a steeper angle? Mm-hmm, but again? It's something that has to be practiced Siduously because not many folks can ball it consistently and the reason it has to be practiced and those margin of errors You mentioned is because if you get you miss it, right now days the modern player As these fun. Oh, wow, they can hit you 360 so they can day If you think of a ball coming to land here someone like a butler or de Villiers immediately I think Dillshaw and sell it with the Dillscoop. That's impressive before it bounces now You think that's gonna hit you straight in there I would not recommend this shot without a helmet on and it flies over there So you put a man back there and they do that and then they go back in their crease So a ball that was landing there You now can get under and hit then they go this way they go that way they got so many shots And that's why if I can borrow the ball, that's why the game has changed right in my day. Sorry to talk about my day But that used to be your Yorker box with that margin of error you just you talked about that was your mark walk stop Okay, so nowadays because of the change in regulations anything down the leg side is a wide So these deliveries come in All right, because now batsman they're going back in their crease these deliveries are now length and Because batsmen are scooping like butler and de Villiers these deliveries now come so you remember that original box That was really wide that box now you have to hit that otherwise butler de Villiers Coley Doni are smashing you all over the place and if you go back to that original Hawkeye of strike rates That's perfect. You get it wrong against Richard Pantor M. Estonia or Virat Kohli They will smash you out the ground. So it's an additional layer of difficulty if he moves back my Yorker's gonna be full If he's forward of the line my Yorker's got to be slightly shorter Let's have a look at some of the great examples of the Yorker and it just Being on target in terms of line a little bit full but it gets true because of peace Bang on target you get your success batsmen will come down So it's just a little bit shorter of that length and as you said master saying they tried to scoop a Yorker is gold if you can get it spot on so Great example of the box getting smaller and bigger in modern-day and the other thing that's changed in modern-day Cricky is they now use two of these two white balls So when we used to just use one it used to reverse swing So I mentioned Wacar and was in that great final was it 92 World Cup final Was in got it reverse swinging that gives you just that bit more than that ball at 90 mile an hour is swinging It is so difficult to play these funky shots because by the time you go down The ball has cramped you or moved away with two white balls It doesn't quite do as much at the end. So those examples you showed of boomer and everyone else They are absolutely spot on a world-class Yorker bowler will get into any white ball side just for nailing his Yorkers Very informative video learn I feel like we learned more about cricket in that video than any other video Yeah, I actually know what a Yorker is. Yeah, and I guess it also It's location. It isn't necessarily the spin you put on the ball at all a Yorker in and of itself It's just get it on that line. Yeah. Yeah around that line. Yep, which yeah, it's It's so impressive What they can then also the what how they've adjusted to being able to hit the Yorker Yeah, he says now as opposed to his day, but some I did have a question. He said Plays with two white balls. What was what does that mean? I have no idea. It's the first I hear of that I didn't know there were different colored balls that they use based on certain things I mean, yeah, and then he said white ball or red ball cricket. I'm I Know I thought they were just different color balls. I didn't know like is it a different game if you play? Yeah, though, why I didn't I did not know no idea. So that confused me But yeah, it was very well explained All right, give us more Instructional videos like this. Yeah, that was that that helped me now I will forever now be looking when we watch a cricket video I'll be looking for Yorkers and I know what I'm looking for. Yeah. Yeah Cool video What are the throws are there then though? I haven't the foggy stuff. Well, I guess there's spin the spinners. I have no idea. There's a spinner a Yorker Power throw maybe no idea I don't know. I would love an instructional video like that that said here are the most common Throws and what to look for. Yeah. Yeah, because I don't have the foggiest idea Do I do I and I'm really really intelligent? So if I don't understand Rick definitely doesn't understand this is true. He's an idiot. Yeah Anyways, let us know what other cricket videos informational videos or others that we can react to down below
