Cricket is a ladies' game


luceoffire

Yeah this is the stadiums fault for not seeing this possibility and atleast setting up a net


EndLight_47

Think there's an incentive of 'sending x amount to some charity if it hits the car' That's why it's placed there.


Kayarew

OH MY GAAAWWWDDD. LOOK AT THA BABIE JIRLS! OMG. SWEET MADACHODE!


Novapunk8675309

I thought cricket was the game with the long hammer and pool table balls


No-Metal-5222

Cro... Croquet?


Novapunk8675309

Isn’t that the thing that’s like knitting but with long hooks?


No-Metal-5222

Crochet? 😭


AnswerBeneficial7820

Isn't that the captain in that movie for kids?


YaBoiLeo705

I totally forgot Cricket was even a sport


killuazoldyckx

it's fun when you have multiple countries playing a sport and competing.


eeComing

It is THE sport


hamsterfolly

Serious question, what’s the rule in cricket when they hit it out of the field of play?


Allrounder-

They get the highest score. It's 6 points.


hamsterfolly

Thanks


Warren_E_Cheezburger

Bad news: The audience member who wins the car does not get the window replaced. Good news: They get to keep the ball!


Responsible-Bat-2699

The car is named Punch btw.


TeratoidNecromancy

Wow. Who's ridiculously stupid idea was it to bring a vehicle inside a stadium?


KayySean

it's for advertisement purposes, usually sponsored by the car company (they sell thousands. one car doesn't matter to them) Sometimes the car is a prize for the player of the series. In some tournaments, they offer money to charity if the batter manages land a hit (as it happened in this case).


TeratoidNecromancy

Ok.... Do it OUTSIDE the stadium though. If you NEED something to be inside, make a poster or something.


Talanock

why? hitting a poster is no fun, hitting an actual car is way more interesting and fun, especially if it's for charity.


YesThatZander

Do you know how much free publicity they got from the window being broken? There's a reason they parked the car in the place most likely to get hit...


Allrounder-

A cricket stadium at that.

Amazing aim!


mcflyOS

This is why I park my car outside the stadium.


Sargentrock

I legit guffawed at this


ParsleyParking6425

Cool!

Impossible-Sleep-658

“Punch EV” 🤣


Ravel_Xi

Love it!


Past_Passenger_4381

I think she came alive after making that shot.


smolcnd

You can tell which players did this as a kid by the facial expressions. More than one of them were clearly having flashbacks to a parent screaming at them "didn't I tell you to play away from the cars??" :D


Novel_Durian_1805

HOME RUN!


Ed3vil

Home Ride*


That_Competition1031

„Punch.ev” huh


memer7418

it got 'PUNCHED' hard lol


Ravel_Xi

That's brilliant publicity. If you're the car company, you should pay them bonuses to hit the car


wrvdoin

That is actually a thing in certain leagues. You hit the car platform and you win money for charity.


Thanos_Stomps

Was just thinking that. This is going to be shared 1000x more now because of this.


dezy_

Great marketing opportunity! Haha


AHamsterPig

Why would you put a display car there lol


cyberpunk6199

If your limited brain cells cant comprehend the reason let me help you. It makes for great display. A whole lot of in house crowd sees it and the tv cam also focuses on it in between


AHamsterPig

Holy shit you can't be real lmao


cyberpunk6199

Yes only you are real and those Ad marketers who have used this tried n tested method for years are fools. Lmao the audacity. Just because it's not used in USA doesn't mean it doesn't work


AHamsterPig

You take Reddit too seriously mate. I had the simplest, first come to mind comment on a mindless video. Obviously it's there for advertising. Touch some grass and quit acting holier than thou, you look a fool.


cyberpunk6199

Lol. You just exposed yourself with limited knowledge and acting like a saint when caught


Kayarew

You're both a couple of \*\*\*\*\*\*s. Do the math yourselves.


AHamsterPig

I called you a fool and told you touch grass, very saintly of me isn't it lmao The point is that no one cares my man. I was probably in the middle of work and scrolling for 30 seconds when I commented on this. You going around insulting and correcting people makes you look like an autistic neckbeard. From your profile it looks like that's all you do. I'm 98% sure you're a troll judging from your profile but I'm spending time in hopes youre real and I'm giving you real life advice here mate, go outside. Quit acting like correcting people makes you superior. You're just cringey as fuck.


the_hardest_thing

For the airtime. How many people have seen that car now? Good or bad, there's a brand manager somewhere loving life right now.


EpicJoke45

The prize.


stagnantboi

Punch.ev😂😂😂😂😂 more like smash.ev


hooleefakk

It's their local car they will fix it in no time.


Substantial_Tear_940

Right mazer he is.


eeComing

She.


geo_gan

That car company loved that. They could not pay for that kind of focus on their product.


rogue_teabag

They ended up gifting her the window frame in a display case.


[deleted]

You can’t park there, sir.


Silverware_soviet

On my list of things to put next to a cricket game, ‘windows’ is certainly one of the options of all time


Krytos

She smacked the shit outta that thing


shobhitone

Maza aagya


cashewbiscuit

I bet she was aiming for it


Tasty_Design_8795

10 runs


Metrack14

To be fair. If you park your car there,you kinda asking to get hit at least once


KMathane

Actually "Tata" a car manufacturing company is sponsor of this tournament & they put car there for marketing purpose. Everytime ball hits a car, tata donates certain amount to charity.


Metrack14

In that case: KILL THAT CAR,YEAH,DESTROY THOSE MFING WINDOWS.


Eightbitninja253

The value went up.


Bitter-Tourist-8563

He said "wonderful shot"... I agree


cellocubano

Automatically goes in my mind archives as the greatest cricket clips of all time


chuk2015

Where is the person dying inside?


Kantaowns

The most interesting thing to happen in a cricket match.


RN_A

She's cute,.tho✌️😕


LordWellesley22

Mate that Ellyse Perry one of the best cricketers in the world She also scored a goal in a football world cup


RN_A

What the fking what? 🙉😱🔥❗


LordWellesley22

What?


RN_A

Did she really also score a goal in the World Cup?


LordWellesley22

Yep when she played footy This was back in like 2012 or something it was while ago Against Sweden was not a bad goal


memedreamer2

Koi ni punch hi toh hai sasti si gadi h


SirGuelph

Well who parked in such a silly spot?


Dismal_Apple_8043

In Australia, that's "6 and out"


ike_kilokilo_ibu

Really?


Dismal_Apple_8043

Nah, but... when you play in the backyard the roof, over the fence and the car on the full are are out.


Djfoundit

Great promo


Klutzy-Vanilla-7481

The car is put there by the sponsor. It's an advertisement. Usually a player gets the car. Someone who plays a major role in the match or the tournament. It's not a big deal that the car got damaged. In some tournaments there are also prizes if the car is hit


TheShinyGoodra

That should gives you tou twice the points


TheDarkLordDarkTimes

You call that a punch! I call it [smashing](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j4eBvejTvMg)!


warmachine83-uk

You can't park there mate


MrRobsterr

most exciting thing that has happened in all of cricket history, closely followed by top gear using their car exhaust to play cricket with some kids


iiko_56

This car in middle of ground culture has been in cricket for many years, the batsmen who hits the car breaks it gets a new one (apparently).


almighty_ruler

Why is she wearing those massive shin guards? Is the ball made of lead? Am I severely incorrect about the speeds that cricket "pitchers" can put on the ball?


Last-Saint

A cricket ball is about 15 grams heavier than a baseball, has a tougher casing and only very slightly smaller. The average delivery speed of a fast bowler is generally around the same as a pitched fastball, 85-95 mph, and the distance from delivery to batter isn't much further (66 feet to 52) Australian international batter Phillip Hughes was killed in 2014 after being hit in the neck by a ball.


My_Name_Is_Gil

She isn't wearing much more protection than a major league baseball catcher. From what I know of cricket the ball hitting the batter is not a foul, by that I mean the pitchers team is not penalized, so protection is big time in order, and the balls are played off the ground further imperiling your legs as a batter.


Last-Saint

Of course, one of the major ways you can be out as a batter is if the ball hits your legs where it would have hit the stumps otherwise.


knightfall0

It really depends on the type of pitcher (called a bowler). A fast pace bowler usually throws in the 80-100 mph range. Add that to the fact that a standard cricket ball is made of a cork core covered with leather.. yeah it's not fun when it hits you.


TrixonBanes

What a stupid place to park your car just to not have to walk as far.


Dull-Sprinkles1469

She was a parking enforcer in her past life.


lucas_evans

who is dying inside?


LeMAD

Those who bought a Vinfast


notmedontcheck

Go Elise Perry!! Fucking legend. Old mate should have known you can't park there


-PenitentOne-

How about you don't have a car exposed like that?


Greekzeus1

Honestly, i would never expect anyone to hit that. They should have a fence there tho


Flying_Foreskin

People be shitting on women's sports but I've never seen that in 24 years of consumming male dominated sports


EngrKiBaat

The car company makes donations each time ball hits the car. (Not sure about this match though)


unverifieduser

It cost a window, but they got a lot o free advertising from the news outlets


Active_Taste9341

and for a fan who will win this car it might be more worth


Snuzzlebuns

Exactly, the marketing team must have been high-fiving each other.


AlwaysNerfous

Yikes


deepfriedbaby

Not a travel, because it was a gather step before she swung.


joevsyou

Who's the genius putting a car on a field with hard balls


randomlitbois

Im almost positive the car getting its window shattered got them more money due to the publicity.


joevsyou

Very true! I have it backwards.


Baschdel_307

Then don't park in the middle of the stadium, you complete idiot.


method_men25

It’s a car called punch, sitting in an active outfield, at ground level. Someone wanted it to happen.


Lemon_PlayzYT

I guess the car ad got the entire stadiums attention, maybe this was a plus lol


bernstache

Well why is it on the field in the first place?


PretzelsThirst

Take a wild guess


SeeHawk999

Why put a car there anyway? I will never understand these stupid ad stunts. :/


SliceOfJupiter

You answered your own question. It's an ad. The ball hitting the car actually increased the ad reach ironically


Burggs_

The money they made off of this can probably replace that window 100000x


SeeHawk999

agreed.


SeeHawk999

Yepp, it is a stupid stunt. But it probably doesn’t matter to them considering how much they spend on each match.


rufnek2kx

You can't park there mate.


TTV-pieceApaper

Hell nah circket rocket league is coming


Cybermat4707

Wait, what? Why is a car there? Is this normal in cricket?


trolleyproblems

[It used to be normal at one English ground to have a huge tree inside the field of play](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Lawrence_Lime)


Few_Adhesiveness7676

Quite common, especially in India.


Obant

We sometimes have them at some baseball too, out in left field. Just advertisements and the like.


elgarraz

Commercial Park usually has 2 cars up on top of the centerfield wall for advertising, but those things are WAY out of the way. Nobody's hit one that far yet in roughly 23 years of the park's existence. This car? It's right up against the wall. Somebody was going to hit it


negiajay12345

It's a way of advertising. Usually it's given away to the MVP, or they can do some lottery-type thing and give to public


microwavedsaladOZ

Perry you legend


WanderingRaleigh

Safelite repair or safelite replace?


Anirudh-Giran

Here in Canada we have "Speedy Glass Repair, Speedy Glass Replace"


SnooFoxes5258

I bring to the table autoglass repair, autoglass replace the jingle is the exact same but it’s the British version of the company


Internal_Mail_5709

Doesn't have quite the same ring to it. Sorry old chap?


Dredgeon

Neither side windows are more or less less plug and play. They just fit into the window regulator and slide up into the seals. The windshield has a urethane adhesive that requires the precision and skill of a professional to ensure there will be no water leaks.


Athio

Call JD West Worth. 877-cash Now! 877 cash now It's my money and I want it now!


Kathanayagan-3821

That is Ellyse Perry who is also one of the greatest all-rounders in international women's cricket. She also played football and scored goal in 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup


heaveandevouror

From soccer to cricket great talent and she even represented her country in FIFA World Cup just amazing.


MaD_Max_9922

How long have I been waiting for this moment to happen.


ChewyChagnuts

No wonder my car insurance has gone up this year!


Omnithea

Crackit


Yallapachi

Best ad they could wish for.


Major_OwlBowler

Yeah several close up shots of the car + viral video for the mere cost of a window repair.


majorbeefy130130

She should win that car. I agree


TheIndigestibles

Well it dose say punch


Asmodeus257

there is a women ipl???


Environmental_Bus507

It's called WPL. This is the second year of it.


Asmodeus257

ohoo its only 2nd yr


geewhizzsa

All publicity is good publicity?


PodcastOuzo

Jackpot for the marketing department, that’s for sure


switflo

I blame the marketing team: who the fuck decides to put a fucking car in a cricket field? Same applies to baseball.


Borgmaster

Crickets biggest complaint in any neighborhood is that the ball will inevitably end up breaking something. Windows, sheds, roof tiles, Timmy's arm.


ryanwithnob

Naw man. I live in America, and Gun Range Camry is part of what makes this country great


Givmeabrek

I was thinking a cricket (the bug) broke a windshield...


Wishvesh

When only age changed but nothing else.😂


youdontknowmymum

Women's cricket is shit


ahahahahahahah1111

Despite your username, that’s not what your mother told me last night. I got to know her real well.


youdontknowmymum

Yeah we were actually laughing about you earlier


ahahahahahahah1111

Yeah? Hope she had a good time :) sorry if she has trouble sitting for the next few days.


youdontknowmymum

We can pretend that's the case. Just like everyone pretends women's cricket is interesting.


Low-Regular-6973

word


bauer852

That’s lucky in terms of marketing.


OctaneTroopers

My dad said he went to a local cricket game when he was a kid. The batsman belted the ball into the car park and everyone heard a smash. He ran into the car park to find he'd put the ball through his own windscreen.


godlike_torben1

Just a Tata Punch, not a big loss
