 So I have a new favorite line from a movie now. What is it? Naughty pussy. Um, shanty um. Hey, welcome back to our stupid drags, it's Sub-Gorban. I'm Shahrukh Khan. And you can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and more. You are not. I was waiting for that. Fucking blasphemous. I think you should follow us on Patreon, follow us on Twitter accounts, subscribe if you don't like Button because it helps. The algorithm. I'm younger than Shahrukh Khan. You don't look it. That's true. I've had somebody actually, it's so funny. I posted the picture on Instagram of Andrani and I at the beach, it's a lovely photo and lovely stupid babies are just being so sweet in the comments. There's always, whenever a picture like that pops up, there's always somebody who says, Rik sir, kindly dye your hair. I will when the role I'm cast in requires me to do it, but other than that, I like being a silver fox. Today we have, this is something people sent us after the cricket video about the Yorker. And this is the different type of cricket balls. Cause we asked specifically cause he said red ball cricket and white ball cricket. Yes. Thank you. This is a whole video apparently about the explanation of the different balls. Stupid families. We beautiful. Keep learning new things. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And it's one of your favorite things actually in the world is balls. Yes, I love balls. Yeah. I particularly like sweaty balls. Yeah. Yeah. Which by the way in baseball, my favorite, my favorite game. Sorry. I started. My favorite game. There is no, that's always the exact, has to be the same ball. So I'm very interested to see what it is about with. Stupid mud. Yeah. Very particular. Very particular. There's a very particular kind of mud clay mixture that major league baseballs are rubbed in before they're put in play and used in the game. It's from a specific river and only one family. One family. It's kind of stupid really. Anyways, here we go. Okay. Now the sound's not here. I hope a lot of cricket players don't have to deal with blue balls cause that would suck. You do. Was it just fine? Here we go. Fine and welcome back to. That's a pink one. Today might be a good chance to talk about seven balls there. The way it's evolved. Look at the balls on that guys. I guess my understanding of how I've had to adapt in playing in different conditions. First and foremost, you know, you look at the three basic color of the balls. The red ball, you got the pink which has been introduced recently. And of course the white that's been around since the eighties or so. First ball that I want to pick up is the one that I'm more comfortable and used it more in my career is the Kookaburra ball. Kookaburra. The thing about the Kookaburra ball, I think over a few times, it's actually deteriorated in terms of the condition of the ball. Whether they went from hand stitching more to a commercial grade where they're not using as much hand stitching as they used to. But the traditional cricket ball made by Kookaburra has got what they call generally like a lacquer over it. So you know that the ball should stay in pretty good condition throughout most of the first session. Towards the end of the day, the Kookaburra ball would generally get a little bit softer. Reverse swing can happen with the Kookaburra ball. I used to enjoy viling with it and I was probably as I mentioned more familiar with it. Now we go over to the jute ball which is used over in the UK. And you can see straight away there are different colors of the balls which are different environments and different I guess tans that they use. Now these are dyed, these cricket balls are dyed red. But the jute ball, the first thing I notice is the amount of lacquer on the ball is much more in this lacquer. And the one thing they always talk about and hear about with the jute ball is that this ball swims around corners. It shakes because the lacquer, if you can keep maintain the perfect ball condition, this one here in England will suit the conditions and swing around. Not as a prominent sort of pronounced scene or not this one anyway, compared to the Kookaburra ball. Got it. The Kookaburra normally, the seam in the middle is a little bit higher as opposed to the jute, but I have seen jute balls with a quite prominent seam. No clue. No clue. I thought they were all the same. Yep. You can see the SG. This is from India. This one here has got a film coated lacquer over the top. But I find this ball over here tends to take a lot more scratches, a lot more easily. So you might bowl two overs. And I guess the conditions aren't really conducive to fast bowling over here in India. But I find this ball scuffs up a lot quicker. However, that could help you for a ball, reverse swing. Good ball to bowl with. It's another difference of baseball. They're such a totally different game. And then we get over here, when you're playing up north, maybe up at Mahali or playing down here in Mumbai, you can get a bit of movement off the seam. The one ball I probably enjoyed bowling with the most was the white ball. And for me, this is probably the format where I dominated most decent in Tascara, but for me, I felt a lot more comfortable in the one day arena. I don't know the reason why, but when I try to educate people and young boys and girls about bowling, I find for some reason, the white ball would swing more. Well, for me anyway, I found I could hoop the white ball a lot more. And maybe when you break it all down, you think about the way the white balls made and put together. It's actually painted white, as opposed to dyed red as you see here with a red crimper ball. So same shape, same weight, same ball, but this one's dyed, this one's painted. And you'd often find that this one here, generally in Australian conditions, would go a lot darker quickly, go green. I think in the late 90s and early 2000s, when I was playing for Australia, we bowled with bong ball the whole 50 overs. So for me, you get to about the 40 overmark and the ball be scuffed up, quite hard to see, quite green. That's when the fast ball comes into his element and that's when you can really take the wickets. Then they introduced the mandatory 34 over ball change, which I think probably hurt cricket, because that's the time when the balls are about to get reverse swing happening. They get a ball maybe 20 overs old and then it pretty much brings the batsman back into the game. And also they introduced one ball from each end, which means that only 25 overs old that ball could get from either ends. Really took reverse swing out of play. Once again, very scuffed up with the different conditions and the different subcontinent ball and English ball. Then we throw in the pink ball or the rosé. We've got the white or the red. Why don't I have a rosé? This ball here, I never got the chance to play a competitive game with the pink ball. But what I've seen on television commentating and certainly what I've witnessed is that this ball hoops around corners and probably to the conditions of when the pink ball was used, twilight, good time to bowl as the sun goes down. The ball once again, it's got a nice film on it, a nice lacquer and a decent scene position. The only thing that I would say is that it does get a bit scuffed up a bit quicker than the traditional red ball, but I think it's been a good find. Test cricket with the red ball, people can see it. It's a lot of fun. At the end of the day, it's all about the viewer and hopefully putting on a good spectacle. So that's my take, I guess, on the cricket ball. So there we have it. We've got the traditional red, white, and now the new pink ball, which has been introduced for the last couple of years. I think it's been fantastic. The viewers love it. I love watching it. Hopefully you've enjoyed it. Hopefully you've learned something. Let us know. Keep watching Britley TV and there's many more fun and exciting things coming up. Surely. Good, informative. Very informative. I just, super unique. Is it based on whether it's the particular league? Is it based on weather conditions? Is it based on? I think it's based off rules, country. That vary from place to place. The fact that, because obviously it's different here, we're really the only country that plays certain sports. I mean, obviously baseball has expanded a little bit, but it's huge in Japan or Korea. And so we kind of got to make the rules. Yeah. Same thing, American football, NFL. Same thing. So it's all that basketball. I mean, it's expanded a little bit, but once again, it kind of started here, kind of got to make the rules. Soccer, there's different balls. Is there? Yeah. Not crazy amounts, but in that the FIFA does get to regulate it, but they do have similar. But there are different kinds of rules. It's the play. Right. I think that's one of the reasons. So it's like, here in England, we play with the cricket ball, but it's a little different than what India has in the cricket ball. So I'm guessing that's why. It was super interesting what he said about, because obviously it's something that is not a thing in baseball that, because you can change the ball 10,000 times. You actually have to, it's the exact opposite theory where he said from a bowling standpoint, you want this thing to get aged and scuffed. You'll notice if you've watched a baseball game, for those of you unfamiliar with baseball, the moment that ball might be scuffed, it is immediately replaced. Those balls become batting practice balls, and a pitcher is not allowed to scuff, mark up. The only thing they can do is rub the ball when it's put into play for the first time to try to get it a little bit eased up on the tightness on that, but that's all you can do to them. It needs to be pretty immaculate. Whereas with this, that's a part of the game. Obviously it's part of the game. It's the ground. Yeah. Almost every year. Obviously if you hit a six, I assume those are souvenirs for the fans like in baseball when you hit a home run. I assume those balls don't come back into play. Unless it's obviously a sentimental one. Like if it's whoever's record or whatever. Yeah, exactly. I don't know. I don't have the rules with that. I assumed you get to keep the balls if you're a fan and they hit a six. And it looks like the pink one was specifically mostly so the audience could see the ball better, which is one of the things he was saying. Okay. Like so they can track the ball. Track the ball better visually. That makes sense. Especially if you're playing on a field that's not really green. If it's kind of dried out over time and everybody's in white uniforms. Yeah, it's kind of interesting. Very interesting. And I wonder how different the bats are as well. And I wonder if defensive players have a preference of which ball they field when they have to catch a ball. They may not have a preference, but I would imagine over time you do start developing a preference for the way you can pick the ball up off the bat and how it feels when it comes to you. Interesting that he said once, obviously they changed the, they used to bowl with one ball for the whole. For two overs, yeah. Unless I guess when the six or do they bring that ball back? Right, I don't know. But I imagine they don't because if that goes out of the stadium that has happened before, I suppose. Or if it breaks, I'm assuming it'll break. But the fact that he, I guess as a bowler says it benefits him because the ball gets softer. And so like they can't hit it as far sometimes or it's reversal, I guess what he's saying. Yeah, and it affects the spin on the ball, not just when it's released and when it skips off the ground. But then I guess they changed it to like half, they changed the ball out to make it more even. Yeah, I suppose that over time, the longer the ball stays in play, well, from a bowler standpoint, I think if you were talking to somebody who's batting, I think, yeah, the longer the ball stays in the game, advantage bowler. Granted, a lot of sports do give the advantage a lot of times if they admit it or not to the offense because people like points. Yeah. And they want people to be engaged. Yeah. So low scoring, whatever the sport is, is not as fun as if it's a high scoring game. But for those who know the games and love the games, you actually prefer great defensive games typically. Every sport, especially in American sport has benefited the offense, NFL football, baseball, NBA, golf. No, it's true. Actually, golf you want? Yeah, lower scores. Lower scores, lower scores. But they, more people, especially those who don't really understand the nuances of the game, they like the excitement of offense. Which is a shame because when you understand a game really well, you can appreciate how beautiful a game. So why so many people hated the San Antonio Spurs during their big era with Greg Popovich, coaching Robinson and Duncan and Tony Parker is because they were not a flashy team. They didn't score a lot and they kept their opponents down around 70 points a game. They won championships but they were boring to watch. You're boring to watch. I know. Anyway, it's a great video.
