1.85 -> In this video we're going to discuss the
different decisions that you can get in
7.02 -> the game. Obviously squash is a very
gladiatorial game that's contested in a
12.15 -> confined space which is very rare
amongst racket sports in fact it's
16.109 -> pretty much unique for this reason you
get decisions which are unavoidable on
21.15 -> the court because of the interference.
You get no less which is when a player
26.609 -> or what's known as the striker can't get
to the ball that's given as a No Let if
32.34 -> they're not making the effort that's
required to go and play the ball. Another
36.51 -> example of a No Let is actually when you
see a player go for another player
40.67 -> rather than taking the line to the ball
which results in a no let. You also get
44.94 -> yes let's which is when you get the
clearing player the non striker and the
49.86 -> striker who's going in to hit the ball
just clash and no one's really
54.149 -> at fault they're both trying to to get
through or get past and play the ball
58.859 -> and keep the game flowing but it results
in a yes late and sometimes that's
62.64 -> unavoidable. Another reason for a yes
let is when there's that fear of
68.07 -> safety. Now that could be a player that's
about to strike the ball not knowing
72.15 -> where the opponent is, it could be the
danger of the swing it could be the risk
76.17 -> of a ball striking. It's when
the striker stops and they're not sure
81.299 -> where the opponent is, quite often that
will be a yes let. With the ball hitting
85.86 -> an opponent if it's going towards a side
wall that's only ever given as yes let
90.119 -> as well. The other decision you can get
is a stroke, now a stroke is when a
94.829 -> player just can't hit the ball, your
opponent's in the way you can't hit the
98.82 -> ball. That can be for swing interference
it's a stroke sometimes on the
103.2 -> follow-through if you can't swing
because of the follow-through that's
106.35 -> also awarded as a stroke. In the same
same respect
109.86 -> if the ball is traveling on a direct
path to the front wall and it hits an
114.27 -> opponent unfortunately that's also a
stroke, so it's a bit of a double whammy
117.869 -> because you get the pain of being hit by
a ball and then the pain of having
121.56 -> given a point point to your opponent.
Also in terms of clearance if an
126.329 -> opponent isn't clearing properly and
they're in your direct path to the ball
130.66 -> then that would be a stroke. One other
example of a stroke is when a player
135.43 -> comes in, plays a shot and they don't
clear it. So if they just stuck on that
139.84 -> ball and and the incoming striker tries
to get through it tries to play it and
143.95 -> they just can't, that will also be a stroke.
So that's a basic overview of the
148.72 -> decisions that you get in a game of
squash
