 We had another great catch in the big bash league except this time it did not count if you go to manscape.com slash John Boy you get 20 off plus free shipping that does count thanks for sponsoring the video all right let's watch it we got the thunder versus the stars the stars are the batsman and that pitch is smashed to deep left field but caught and he checks his foot because guess what there's a nice catch but if his foot touches that boundary it's an automatic four runs you can't touch the boundary so that's why he checks his foot right away and all of that effort would have been for nothing so he checks his foot to make sure the catch counts the only problem is the catch doesn't count for a completely different reason he gets up tosses the ball in the air because he's celebrating and then he's like wait what and the batsman are running back and forth they get a run every time they cross sides they literally run to get a run that's where that term comes from and he's like what happened what are you talking about he goes to pick up the ball and he's going to ask his teammate he's like what do they call it then oh he's like oh I couldn't hear oh man that stinks it was a nice catch so what happened the pitch was too high it was above the batsman's waist which is considered a no ball and when a no ball is thrown the fielding team are penalized one run every time a no ball is bold so even if this dude doesn't swing at this or if he swings in it and misses or he swings in it and they decide not to run they would automatically get one run now in t20 cricket a batsman cannot be dismissed off a no ball except if the batsman is run out meaning he can only get out if he decides to run and then they throw him out they can't be caught out and they can't get what we would consider like a strike like hit the wickets so they just get to put it in play it's kind of like a free hit and on top of that he gets a free hit the next pitch so we started the clip and he had 81 the stars had 81 runs and our batter larkin down here he had 19 when the ball is thrown and it's a no ball it's automatically one run then they ran back and forth three times so they got four runs which they would have had had it been a legal pitch and this dude didn't catch it or if he didn't catch it he could have saved some runs because he threw it away while celebrating so yeah that's the rules and then a no ball is followed by a free hit a delivery from which the batsman cannot be bold or caught out so bold out means it hits the stumps and he's out or caught out means fly ball that's caught but he can still be run out so if he puts it in a play and decides to run and they return the ball to the wicket before he gets back behind this line he can get out so let's see what happened on the no on the free hit so that motion means free hit and circles and circles and then this one he puts that in play and they can run so just that giant nice catch in the hands I mean the balls are really hard flying up in the air making sure he doesn't touch the boundary and only stays on the grass and it's all for nothing in the end they ended up with I think 86 runs 86 and they started with 81 so there's a five run swing on the on the no ball then the free hit not good if you got balls shave them manscape.com slash John Boyd 20% off plus free shipping the leader in men's below the waist grooming
