You can follow us on Instagram! You can follow me. I'm still there while it's available. But soon, all of these intros will be dated because Twitter's going to be gone. Unfortunately. Yeah. Today, what are we doing, Rick? How not to run a company. Yes. How not to take over a company by Elon Musk? Sounds musky. Today... What are we doing? I don't know. What are we doing? I don't know. Looks like a video song. Nope. But not cricket. Cricket. Not the highlights. Not a highlight. It's a low light. Oh my God. This is what it's like batting in India, 2022, the spin technique. Tech mat is unplayable. So this is actually like almost how people in India train and also the, I'm guessing the pitchers in India are like insanely good at spin and all that kind of stuff. I don't really know. I've heard they're not very good. And I don't know if you've... I don't know if there's probably not anything like this in baseball, but in soccer or football, World Cup coming up, right? For goalies, there's this thing that somebody can kick. And when it hits this thing, it bounces up in a random direction. So the goalie has practice for jumping and not knowing where the ball's going to go. I think there's a mat for India for the spin mat. Got it. So that it bounces in a way that the trajectory of the spin on the ball, you can't read where it's going to go. And because it's going to go... Obviously the pitchers in India are just really good at this, and so this kind of emulates that. Got it. And so this is kind of an informational video about that. We could hit it. Probably. We're really good at cricket. The only reason we didn't become professional cricketers is because we just have not enough time. And they didn't pay me enough. Yeah. And there wasn't enough cocaine. Yes. Here we go. This is the hardest thing we've ever done. And as soon as I can take my pads off here, the better. Right. Because pace is too easy for us. Well... This might be a new video. I'm not quite sure. Because I'm quite long. Yeah, it's very long. So maybe this is a new video. Maybe. So this is a new video. Welcome. Welcome back to Lords. Yeah. Maybe. We're back at Lords. Down to this West Indian kit. Yes. And today we're going to do some spin. But with a twist. We're going to go down. And I'll get close to it. As you can see, it's got some nice bubbles on it, some horrible kind of grooves and things like that. And it's on, unfortunately for them and me, it's on a good length. Well, we don't face many bowlers who can hit a good length, do we? No. Just start with. So that's going to be a challenge. Shots fired. It's going to be really weird. I think it's a bad idea for that to be there. Take it out of your mind. Yeah. Yeah, that's kind of like we've been told if it hits it, it could go straight on. Yeah. It could keep blowing. The thing is, well, it's been hitting the greens though if you're doing all sorts. So yeah, good luck. And don't forget to subscribe. Yeah, that helps. And we never say that. So no, I like it because we're at Lords and everyone likes El, like the Lords. Yeah. That is weird. That is weird. That isn't it. Are you ready? Yeah, are you? I'm pressing fire. I don't think you hit the mat. They don't have anything like that in baseball though because obviously it doesn't hit the ground. But what about for Al? Well, Alfield would just go the trajectory of the ball. You could do some of that for infielders. Maybe catchers? Give them odd. Yeah, for sure. That'd be really good for a catcher to get them to figure out how to block a wild pitch. I bet there's a lot of you thinking I could hit that. Yeah, I think it could be. Probably could. Yes, probably could. I'm one of them. Is that a machine that's pumping them out? Yeah. I think that's how they get the accuracy for it to hit the blue. No concrete ends down here. Good ends. I feel like it's going really slow now. Yeah, really slow. This is really difficult. Maybe it's just because maybe he's not a professional, so they put on an easy setting. Wait till you see the legs fit. I can't wait. Because I bet when it goes faster, it's going to spin even harder. Yeah. Yeah, it's not looking as bizarre as I thought it would. That's not going well. No. But that was hard. Maybe the hardest thing. From what I saw, like that makes a big difference. Not only you stood there, you're kind of going, oh, it's a big blue, like square, lumpy fit in the middle of the pitch here. Yeah. But genuinely, like if that were an area or a rough, I don't know, it's not going to be big on blue and square. But if it does, like, and it shows you how much they do it, how do you play it? I don't know. It's just that judging. The best thing you can do is get forward or back quickly. Yeah. Like if you can do that quickly and you can play soft hands, that's what makes you really good players. Yeah, no, it hits. I'm not saying it hits, but that's what, yeah. What does that mean? To play soft hands. This is inside baseball stuff. Yeah. Your mom has soft hands. Ooh. He's, yeah. About eight minutes of, like, not laying about on it, there's. Not laying about? Not laying about, no. Yeah. Top spinner. Keep walking. Keep walking. And as soon as I can take my pads off here, the better. Whoa. Okay, I saw that one. Oh, they have a little guy. What a fool. It's probably a good training tool. Oh, that too. That looked like it was coming right up the middle at him. Yeah. My brain doesn't work anymore. Oh, that's bad. Oh, he's going big now. Got it on, mate. Keep batting. Okay. That was a strange transition. Who's this? Oh, is this the other guy? At least they know how to hold the bat. Yeah. You know, sometimes you see, is that what that means by soft hands? Because sometimes you swing all the way through. And other times you just kind of check it. Yeah. Maybe that's what that means. Did he say come on the leggies? Freshly shaven. He's better than the other guy. Yep. Oh. It's horrible. And this is just a machine that looks like it's going slow. Yeah. Imagine some of the stuff that we've seen of these guys throwing at almost 90 miles an hour. And then it goes right in front of you and spins to the left. Right. Which is how impressive they are. Just need to get one that just goes straight on it. Oh. Shrindike. Oh, well bold, Ravi. Only just captured it. I might take a bit of padding down on that one. Oh, here we go. I love how British people talk. The legs spin somehow. The offspin's hard. You've made it look it, yeah. Yeah. To do to that. I could have hit all these. That's the only shot I've got of it. I might have taken leg stuff out of the ground if you'd have missed that. Right, last one, mate. Last one. Yeah. Straight through the gate. Oh, yeah. What that is. Unfortunately, that's pretty well that is. Well done, mate. Cheers, mate. That's how I've worked that. And it's tough. That's really hard. Yeah. Okay. Cheers. I love how British people talk. Yeah. That's super interesting because obviously I'm sure it's really good for training. Yeah, absolutely. But also they didn't go into batting in India 2022. Yeah, no, not at all. Is this a specific India mat? Or is just India really good at spinning? Right. They didn't answer that. They didn't either. I was hoping they would. No, because the title of the video is this is what it's like batting in India 2022. Because the spin tech mat replicates the bowling of Indian cricket teams. Are they just really good at spinning? Right. It is very similar, though, because obviously in football or soccer, for you American viewers, the goalie has something. It's a really long thing, probably a little shorter than the length of the goal. Probably a couple feet in front of the goalie. And they just kick it like that. And so you could be kicking it straight and then it would go real fast. And so the goalie has the reflex technique. And so I'm guessing that's what that is. Obviously, because you also don't want your spinners or pitchers going the hardest at your batsman all the time. Because obviously you have to keep their arm fresh. I'm sure that's a very similar thing that is in baseball. But theirs is different as well. Do bowlers have a pitch count? Like the number of times they should throw before there would basically be the time where you have to take them out of the game. Or do they always just bowl for a certain amount of time and then they're out. And so you don't really have to keep track of that. Because in baseball, there's a pitch count. And most guys, you know when they're going to fatigue around their pitch count depending upon how they're doing at that particular time. Yeah. I don't know. So those questions I was hoping this would answer. Yeah. COVID, I would like to try this. I think it would be fun to see if you could hit one of these kind of spin. Because I know I can't hit a real spin ball. No, and we've only done that once. It was a while back. We went with Micah. Yeah, and there was a guy there that was practicing. He said he was a spinner, I believe. You remember, right? Yeah. You sucked. I was really good. I had a couple good shots. I hit one into a tree. You were garbage. Look at the video. No, you were garbage. I hit one into the tree. The boys played well, though. The boys did play very well. They played very well. We put that on at the end of the video. There's you, me, and Michael walking away and it comes up and says the boys played well. I just like getting a laugh out of people. Anyways, let us know those questions and other cricket videos we can react to down below.
