SA20 Cricket fan takes ball to the eye attempting to take the catch, a breakdown

Still funny because fans are going all out. And these dudes play hot potato. Stripes has it.

Gray says, no, it's mine. Back to stripes. And then no one's got it. And that's on the ground.

And they're just like, oh man, well, we tried. I wonder if they know each other.

Maybe they don't even know each other. Now this next one's got blood involved. So if you don't

like that, don't watch. This dude takes the ball right in the eye. Dangerous. There does seem to

be danger.

In this blood sport of catching balls, his buddy gives him a hug. Now here you're going to see the

replay. The ball goes off a dude's finger in front of him and then into his eye. Boom. Now he does

have glasses on. And I think that might've led to the cut and maybe helped his eye socket not get

absolutely popped because it hits him right in the eye. Maybe the glasses help out. They do leave

him.

Bloody. Like he's walking out of here and he's got blood mascara dripping down his face,

looking like he's at some Swedish rock concert. He's gone. Now we've got a dude who's in the

wheelchair section. So he's front row and he doesn't have a crowd around him. Like prime

location. Oh, the ball catches him. He gets there. He's in position, hits the hands,

hits his like shoulders, head, and he goes down. And I like this one a lot because he gets a pretty

good line. He gets a pretty good line. He gets a pretty good line. He gets a pretty good line.

And those around him have a pretty good laugh. Like, ah, that was it. You know, he doesn't have

to deal with the crowds. He's got it. And he's like, okay, show it again. Show everyone again.

Yep. Uh, yeah. Like I said, in part one, getting there seems to be easy. Once that ball hits your

hand, squeezing it seems to be the real tough part. Now, the next one that I'm going to show you

is the one that made me start doing all this research, which,

contained watching 30 of these games and finding all of these examples, because this I saw, and it

was like, that's insane. He's Spider-Man's down, grabs the ball, throws it back. Well, look at this.

He's standing on the railing. His left hand is holding a net to block the ball from hitting them

in the face, I guess. So he must've known like, Hey, this is going to be my plan. And then reaches

out for it. I think it might hit his hand, but then his momentum swings them. So he's Spider-Man's

across.

He's holding onto the net and is able to land safely. Wild. If he caught it, I think everyone

else that catches has to defer their share of the money. And it just goes to him. That would

have been insane. Now in baseball stadiums, if you do this, you're kicked out. I think

you can't go on the field and that's pretty dangerous, but it seems like he stayed and just

had a good time. This may be my favorite. There's a bunch of good ones, but yeah,

just the Spider-Man staying up is wild. They show it on the big screen. A bunch. He's like, ah, damn,

his buddies are laughing at him. That guy loves it. Look at him clapping. Good job. Good job. Good job.

Give me a high five. Thank you. Made his day. He got a high five from Spider-Man beer shirt behind

him. They're watching the replay and like, oh man, look how much his buddy loves it over here.

I guess that's as much as I love it. I'm doing the same things like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I

almost fell in the field.

Now, this is absolutely my favorite of all the misses because it comes on the game winning six.

This ended the match. Imagine if you catch the ball, the in baseball speak, the walk off Homer

and you get money for doing so. And it comes to this gentleman. He's right there. It hits his hand.

Oh, it would have been a two handed catch anyway. I don't think he realizes that, but look at the

heartbreak and the kids around him going, oh, and then watch this. He just gets so broken up about

it. He's like, oh, I'm going to go to the ball. I'm going to go to the ball. I'm going to go to the

ball. He slinks. Oh, oh no. Oh, what happened? And everyone around him is not letting him live it

down. He's like, it was in my hand. He's like, oh, oh, oh, oh, it was there. He just had to make a

stop. Oh, oh yeah. I love the watching that dude. Now these are some of the catches. This was a

real nice catch. Didn't count. There's a mini celebration. And then I think he realizes it does

not count.

Might be the only person I saw catch one, but it doesn't count because it wasn't a clean catch.

You know, that's not in his palm. He's got it between his elbow. You know, in sports world,

I think that counts as a catch, but it ain't clean. Now let's take a look at all the catches

from the regular season. Ready? Here we go. This one, they don't have great footage of because he's

kind of like behind the pack, but he comes away with the ball in his hand. The players get a kick

out of it. I like that. It was a big event whenever this happened. And, you know, I don't

know. Celebrating like crazy. They're going to show some replays. It's hard to see, but I love

the fellow fans. When they drop them, you're upset with them. When they catch them, everyone's happy.

He's like behind the pack and somehow grabs that. I wish we had better shot of it, but we don't.

So I did it first because they get better and better as we go. This one was a real nice catch

in the crowd, grabs it, comes down with it, takes the hat off. What do you guys think?

He's in the crowd of people.

Jumps up in the hand and sticks it. And this woman is very excited about it. So is the dude

in the construction hat. Yeah. It's like they all win when it happens. That dude right next to him

gets absolutely bodied and like thrown to the ground. I don't know. That wasn't him that did

that. I don't know what happened there, but the celebration afterwards, look at this. Everyone

wants to take pictures. He said he was going to use it to give some money to his mom to help

buy her a car.

Something like that. I forget. His girlfriend comes up. See that hand? See the sneaky hand?

You know, everyone's in love with him. You know, the women are flocking. His girl comes up,

wraps her hand and says, he's mine. The one that caught the ball is mine. Maybe that's mom

and girlfriend or wife right there. And he's a hero. Puts the hat back on. He's going to get

interviewed. Shakes hands. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. Yes. I jumped up. I grabbed it.

Yes, I did. Look at this. Look at the hugs.

He's getting a hero. This was the first ball caught in the whole competition. Goes into the

crowd and purple shirt has it. Look at the celebration there. Hard to tell. I think he's

just taller than everyone. But again, you still got to stick it once it comes your way. So he was

the first person. So he was voting for no one else to catch a single ball. He wanted all the money

to himself. Turns out more people caught balls. That's a lot of face this guy's got going on.

I mean, that doesn't feel fun. Why is he doing that?

Is that a South African thing? It's like an Italian thing or a little kid thing. Like

he's got his whole face. All right. So I've touched my face. It is funny. They have to

throw it back. And in American baseball, that is just so opposite. One handed catch here.

This was a real nice play. He's solo. So he doesn't have a crowd. But again,

sticks the catch in his hand. Celebration loves it. He was the second one in this match to catch

it. So they're pumped up. The first person in this match to catch it.

One was this dude. And this is one of my favorites of all the catches. Probably top two

because he's holding a beer in one hand. Doesn't move at all. It comes right to him. Barely even

stands up. You got to watch the replays here. Now, this guy got interviewed. He said he played

cricket his whole life. So he knew what was going on. But he didn't spill his beer. Barely even

panicked. Didn't move. Has his jacket. And he's going to catch it this way and then spins his

hand to the underhand and says.

Hey, he's got it. I mean, just went into like a squat. That's all. Beer hand stayed steady.

Didn't panic. Came right to him, though. Didn't have to move at all. But good spot. Look at that.

They get his ID. They say, OK, you're a winner. Good job. Come back later. The players get a kick

out of it. I like that. I like that the players get a kick out of they watch the replay. And then

he like salutes back to the players who are saluting him on the field. Watches his

replay.

Feels great. He says, I was going to catch it like this. And then I was like, I don't know what

happened. Actually, I don't know. This is my favorite catch of the regular season because

it's in traffic. There's a lot of people around him. But mostly I love it because of the party

that ensues. Beer's getting thrown. He's celebrating. Everybody wants to touch him on the

head. I mean, there's three different people that just rubbed his head while he's celebrating. He's

looking at the ball. Arms haven't even come down yet. Not going to let his arms come down. I mean,

that was exciting.

He had one come his way earlier in the match that he missed. That one come. He's telling everyone

he's going to replay this for everyone his whole life. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the next

one comes and I get it. Yeah, it was awesome. Look at that. Just hand to God. Boom. All mine

right to him. Guy behind him at a beer spilled a little. Just king. King of the crowd. Two beers

simultaneously spill to the left and right. It's kind of a cool shot. Beer on the left.

Beer on the right. Ball in the middle. He already drank all his beers. Didn't need anymore. Look at

that. Hand to the head. Hand to the head. Hand to the head. A hero. A known hero. He gets phones in

his face right away. Can you tell us about what happened? Well, I stuck my hand up. I caught the

ball. What are you going to do with the money? I don't know. Whatever I want. So there you have it.

That's my favorite of all the misses and all the catches. And if you didn't watch part one,

there's a bunch of other funny stuff of people trying to catch these and missing.

Or catching them. Thank you very much to DraftKings for sponsoring this breakdown.

And thank you to you guys for watching and enjoying. Appreciate you.
