@silasha G’day , no, anyone of the 11 players on the field can bowl if they have the skill. some players are predominantly batsman , but bowl occasionally , a few can do both bat & bowl pretty well , and a few can’t hold a bat hardly at all.
Cricket noob question: Can fielders be bowlers too? (Like in football, the defender can act as a center-forward if they are desperate for a goal.) Or are they limited to one position only?
oh ya.., it is much ‘simpler’ than dumb fools running behind the leading fool who holds a ball and runs down the field for a touchdown!! No skill, no thought, no innovation, just muscle!! Game made for America anyway
I only watched this to culturally understand exactly what cricket is. Personally this game seems kinda overly simple and dumb…but I feel the same about American baseball (I live in America) so I guess that doesn’t matter much.

@tatomuck18 lol, americans are so silly
So there are bowlers who rely on power and speed and those who rely and control and technique.
Interesting.
lol well it would be very difficult for them. The american u/19 team could only manage 4 against ireland’s.
i would like to see the Yankees lineup crush sixes in this game
haha meant to be a joke, was looking at that huge thing behind him shaped like a ufo.
where?
2:30 That off-spinner was Warne-like, drifted heaps and bowled around stumps
1:57 UFO!!
good luck!
I think aussies rule in cricket forever
at 1:14 he looks really gay at his run up

I think its just that you are too stupid to realise the subtleties involved with this game…

Hehe ownd.

WOOOO SCOTLAND!!!
lol yea his bowling is really fast………i think his fastest one was 101 mph! but it was above 100
We have an Americanized version of this type of game that embodies our values. It’s called baseball.
we should have cricket in US. i think alot of people would play since we are so diversed.
