I watched this for too long.

[–]KingTsu 22 points23 points ago

Me too, would watch again. So much coincidence.

[–]DigitalChocobo 6 points7 points ago

I watched this load for too long. Damn mobile data connections.

[–]_to_the_top_ 21 points22 points ago

I feel like one of the people that watch Nascar "for the crashes."

[–]BoringUsername1 30 points31 points ago

Watching cricket for the broken sunglasses just doesn't sound as cool

[–]Coridimus 2 points3 points ago

In that case, good sir, may I suggest you watch this gif again? Because that was FUCKING AWESOME!!!

[–]jacobo 25 points26 points ago

this guy is fucking strong

[–]borderlinebadger 41 points42 points ago

to be fair cricket balls are pretty hard

[–]Saan 43 points44 points ago

Having taken one to the face, I can confirm this is completely correct.

[–]tinymarae 16 points17 points ago

Having taken one in the nuts, I grimace every time one mentions being hit by a cricket ball.

I also vaguely recall some famous cricketer dying after being hit in the head by a cricket ball.

[–]Froogler 10 points11 points ago

[–]tinymarae 1 point2 points ago

Yup.

[–]sennais1 7 points8 points ago

Bodyline style of bowling caused brain damage.

[–]katiekatbve 1 point2 points ago

Oh god....

[–]jazzyjjr99 6 points7 points ago

can't tell if computer is laggy

or gif is slowed down for effect

[–]LoopTransmission 3 points4 points ago

Cricket is now available in low gravity.

[–]tiggeraz 2 points3 points ago

Sorta like Randy Johnson and the seagull he beaned with a pitch a lot of years ago....RIP Mr Seagull

[–]The_Time_Lord 1 point2 points ago

Did he make the play, at least?

[–]Corporal_Cavernosa 8 points9 points ago

It's cricket. We don't say stuff like "play". The batsmen are taking "runs" and he's trying to get them "run out" by throwing it to the wicketkeeper.

[–]madworld 8 points9 points ago

Well, did he get them run out?

[–]Corporal_Cavernosa 2 points3 points ago

Nope. Isn't that easy to get someone out in cricket.

[–]blahkbox 6 points7 points ago

Your game has too many confusing rules and it never ends. Why?

[–]CulenTrey 2 points3 points ago

[–]Corporal_Cavernosa 5 points6 points ago

It's not NEVER ending. The longest form of the game takes only 5 days to complete. :P

[–]mrp00sy -4 points-3 points ago

A repost 4 hours later? REALLY? WHILE IT IS STILL ON THE FRONT PAGE????

[–]t1cooper 11 points12 points ago

I'm okay with a video reposted as a gif. I fucking hate watching videos on reddit.

[–]xerexerex 0 points1 point ago

I'm not okay with a video being reposted as a gif. I fucking hate gifs.

To make matters worse nobody posted the video and now I have to go find it myself so I can be content watching the superior version.

I missed it this first time around so I guess I can't complain... much.

[–]youhatemeandihateyou 1 point2 points ago

Check the front page of this subreddit, the video was posted a few hours before the gif.

[–]hawk1410 9 points10 points ago

Original was in a different subreddit, so not exactly a repost. It is just sharing it with more people.

[–]GenericUsername02 7 points8 points ago

[–]hawk1410 10 points11 points ago

Oh well, my bad, did not see that.

[–]That1guyjosh -5 points-4 points ago

didn't even bother to reupload it either. just reused the same imgur link

[–]nodnodwinkwink 10 points11 points ago

I made the gif and i ain't even mad. To be honest i think its kinda cool you can go to imgur and see how many views it has.

Its just gone over 2400 in upvotes and over on imgur 187,775 views · 334.92 GB bandwidth! :)

[–]That1guyjosh 6 points7 points ago

wow that really puts in perspective how many lurkers there are.

[–]Ninjaman237 0 points1 point ago

........ Damn

[–]SEGnosis 0 points1 point ago

Looked like a sonic boom from a plane

[–]Jakooboo[S] 11 points12 points ago

I disagree. This is a video (gif) with perfect timing. This will never happen again.
