- Cricket and Baseball are two very similar sports, though they're still very different from each other. Both sports have a dedicated fan following and are played at the international level and also in some of the highest valued sports leagues in the world.
Both sports are played with bat and ball, both have a person throwing a ball known as a pitcher or a bowler to a batter who hits the ball to score runs. The ground, game play, rules and equipment are also compared in this video.
Baseball has always fascinated Cricket fans due to its similarities. There is also a rising popularity of Cricket in the US and other Baseball playing countries as the Indian and the subcontinent diaspora population increases in the region. The Major League Cricket is on its way in a big manner and is expected to only rise.
The video also highlights the main differences that would help understanding the respective sports better. This video is aimed at four types of viewers. Firstly Baseball fans who will get to know Cricket better along with a side-by-side comparison with Baseball. Secondly Cricket fans who, like Baseball fans will understand Baseball better with Cricket as a reference. Thirdly, people who follow neither Baseball nor Cricket. This group of people will get to know more about both the sports and also a comparative analysis of the two. And lastly, for those who understand both Baseball and Cricket well. As the two sports do have similarities but are completely different sports, so its impossible to cover all the points and we've only covered the main ones. The last category of our viewers may let us know if we've covered all the points correctly and also highlight which other major points we should have considered.

Baseball, there is a umpire around every base. That means 4 umpires. But in cricket there are two onfield umpires and a third one is a TV umpire.
Haan
There is a match referee too. The 4th umpire.
March refree and 4th umpire
In the VAST majority of cricket matches there are two umpires. 99%+ of cricketers have never played a game where there are television cameras, and tv monitor umpires.
The distance between the bowler and batsman in cricket is not 66 feet. That is the distance between the centre line of the wickets at each end of the pitch. The crease which determines the 'limit' for the bowler's leading foot is 4 feet in front of the wicket and is also the batting crease at the other end. The bowler's 'ball release point' is likely to be in front of that crease and generally batsmen will be playing forward of the crease at the other end. So in fact the travelling distance of the ball is normally going to be somewhere between 54 to 58 feet.
In baseball, when the pitcher hits a batter with the ball , he gets a free walk. While in cricket, when a bowler hits the batsman with the ball, the batsman gets a a purple bruise. When he is lucky.
It is a 'free' purple bruise
@@joyfulzero853 all good things are free in life. Or the other way round?
In baseball, literally any infielder can get hit by the ball, Its not just the batter
So….pitching is more difficult in baseball.
@@kn2549 Well Baseball pitching is less fun. You cannot break arms and faces, pummel testicles etc. And you have no opportunity for sledging.

Not a good comparison. Only 1 sport in India and subcontinent with a population of like 2 billion ppl combined if not more. Baseball has US, Central America, Japan, South Korea which population is not even close to India brother. And they have other sports competing together as well, Basketball, Football/Soccer, American Football
A major omission in the field of play in cricket, is that the ends swap every over. This is crucial, as from the end of the cricket pitch the bowler delivers the bowl from can have a significant impact in terms of field dimensions and playing surface. In baseball this is completely static and makes the complexity a bit easier to understand as fielders are usually in the same positions every inning with few exceptions, in cricket fielders are swapped and changed around to fit needs, the captain is responsible for doing so.
Baseball- Arithmetic
Cricket- Calculas

Baseball was created by the mixture of Cricket and Rounders. It was an easy imitation and was made for kids. No way closer to the level of Calculus and Arithmetic.
Baseball is a 90° sport while cricket is a 360° sport.
But Cricket Much Interesting Sport In the World
U forget Japan, Domincan Republic, Puerto rico, mexico, etc. also play baseball
@fordastreeets8019 south Korea, Taiwan too brother.
Meh
A bowler in cricket can technically have a bent elbow as long as they don't straighten it to deliver the ball. Usually this would disadvantage the bowler so it isn't done. A notable exception is Muttiah Muralitharan of Sri Lanka. He was not capable of completely straightening his arm. With his style of bowling, it may given him a slight advantage.
Murali was a chucker mate
@@krispynachos9980 You know this how? It's not possible to tell, when it was relatively subtle like Murali's, from a single replay. You need multiple replays of the one delivery, with each camera covering different angles that are parallel to the axis of rotation of the bowler's elbow. Given the way a bowler twists their body and rotates their shoulder, this is not easy.
With modern technology (like ball-tracking with LBW reviews) it would probably be straight forward, but it wasn't easy back then.
@@BobHutton Shane warne the king of spin
@@krispynachos9980 This has what relevance to bent elbows? (A leg-spinner bending their elbow would be a distinct disadvantage).
Another similarity is that actual play time is relatively short in comparison to the total game time, most of the time being spent changing batters and preparing to deliver the ball.
While playing time in cricket in the shortest format starts with when players come to the field until a winner is decided with drinks and innings break in between, about total 30-45mins. Total playtime is 3 and half hours on average breaks included
most of the cricket clips are taken from BPL (Bangladesh Premier League). Why??

There is LBW out also in cricket and the wickets are not only of wood, there is also full toss in cricket in which ball does not bounce.There is a thing called hatrick in which a bowler get three wickets in three balls but in continuous balls
I live in a country where baseball is only second to soccer, but I prefer cricket. Even though here only the hyper rich in upper class clubs play it.
Country Name?
@@y_r_u_geh Mexico. The only cricket clubs are very upper class. Whereas baseball fields are, while not as common as common as soccer, easily accessible to everyone
A minor point is that in cricket "innings" is always plural, it is never "inning". This video is talking about 'limited overs', one innings games. Longer versions do not have restrictions on number of balls to faced.
CRICKET IS THE BEST
It is obvious to an observer that in both of the games the distance between a) 'the pitcher's plate and the home plate' (60" 6') in baseball, and b) the distance from wicket to wicket (66") in cricket, is neither the actual distance between the release point of the pitcher or the bowler to the batter. Both are significantly shorter than the dimensions shown in the rules of baseball and the Laws of cricket.
In cricket it is even shorter with spinners as batsmen move a step forward while the baseball batter is more limited in where they can stand.
@@duxandrespasha Of course, but with slow spinners reaction is less critical. It is more remarkable that some batsmen of the modern T20 era are prepared to give fast bowlers the 'charge.'
Many of these cricket descriptions omit the concept of an over. This is a series of six deliveries (balls) bowled by one bowler from one end of the pitch. After this there is a change of bowler and the new bowler bowls from the other end of the pitch. AT this time all the fielders move over to the opposite end of the field. The batsmen stay where they ended up after any runs scored after the last delivery. This leads to a tactical game whereby an established batsman with his eye in, if paired with a teammate more known for bowling than batting skills, will endeavour to score a single run on the last ball to put himself in position to face the new bowler.
Cricket and Baseball are like causin brothers😅😅
The only thing the 2 sports have in common is the bat-ball dynamic. Americans wanting to learn about cricket are better served by not looking at it through the prism of baseball. Most cricket fans understand baseball well enough.
The 66 feet given as the reaction distance in cricket is essentially wrong. The 66' is the distance from wicket to wicket; in front of each wicket is a white crease line 4 feet from the stumps, and this is where the bowler bowls from and generally the batsman is standing on, or in front of that line, at the other end, when receiving the ball. In reality the reaction distance is more like 58 feet or less.

Baseball hai meri jaan ❤
One small cultural difference is that in cricket it is never "inning", it is ALWAYS 'innings' even when talking about a single 'innings'.
It seems baseball is very simple and easy game as compared to cricket.
Pitcher has to throw ball at batsman only at specific area so batter already knows where pitcher would be throwing ball at him. Secondly only surprise that pitcher can give to batter is to swing ball in the air. So it makes sense in baseball if batter cant hit ball 3 times when it is pitched in right area than batter is considered out.
But in Cricket it is really hard for batter to hit the bowl because Pitcher/ bowler has many ways in which he can throw ball to the batsman.
Firstly he can throw ball at any part of batters body forexample he can throw at his head,chest,arms,thighs,legs,foot which I dont think is possible in Baseball.
Secondly pitcher can not only swing ball either left or right in the air but also has option to change the direction of ball after hitting the ground in either left or right direction which makes really hard for batter to know which way ball will go. So it makes sense in cricket that batter doesnt get out if he fails to hit the ball or misses the ball 3 times. Similarly cricket bat is rectangular in shape so it helps batter. But to not give to much undue advantage to the batter in cricket, 3 wooden wickets are placed behind the batter and batsman has to make sure that he doesnt misses the ball and ball hits the wicket because if ball hits the wickets or his legs if it his infront of wickets the he is considered out.
Lastly batsman has option of not only hitting out of the boundary wall to score home run(6 runs) but he also has option to strike bowl to the ground till it reaches the boundary wall and it is counted as 4 runs.
Thats why in cricket average score you see in cricket is around 250 for an innings.
Baseball is not simple and easy compared to cricket. Look at the scoreline of a baseball match. How many runs are scored?
I don't think you can say that it's easy to hit if you see a 100-mile ball?
@@cricketexplained8526same score and chasing and bowler to batter matching as left and right to left and right hand spinner ,fast bowler,fieler placement how to put dot balls and make pressure to make him or inverse he hits and makes pressure on them.
It's also slightly incorrect to say a bowler's elbow cannot be bent at the time of releasing the ball. Throwing/chucking is characterised by excessive extension/straightening of the arm, not excessive bending. So the elbow can in theory be bent when bowling, and this actually sometimes happens.
This rule was changed at one point because there was a bowler who bowled with a slightly bent arm. They pretty much changed the rules to let him do it.
I've seen lots of bowlers do over a lot of years who do that. Where it gets 'interesting' for umpires is if they also have a big wrist action.
Isn't there a concept in baseball similar to the no ball or wide ball in cricket? Otherwise, in baseball, a pitcher may deliberately come more in front (no ball in cricket) or throw the ball out of the batsmans reach (wide ball)... in baseball, throwing the ball out of the batsmans reach could be a crucial factor, as missing the ball 3 times is out, right?
Their equivalent to a wide is called a "ball". If the batter doesn't swing at it, then it counts against the pitcher. If they swing at it and miss, even if it is not passing through the strike zone, it counts against the batter.
Dude in baseball there is a strike zone and if the pitcher throws out of the strike zone it's not a strike
@@cricketexplained8526 now explain to him when the batsman commits a foul and when and why it's a strike or not. This troubled me the most to understand as a cricket fan who never watched baseball
Cricket mainly has got 2 formats test & Odi & other 2 formats as well which are t20 & t10, the shorter version of Odi(50 over game).
I'm cricket lover.
Baseball
Does a quadruple play in baseball mean that the batting team starts their next inning with an out?
It's an error in the video. There's no such thing as a quadruple play because after three outs, the inning is over.
@@jstnrgrs That's if the umpires are paying attention. There is the rare case that they aren't, and there probably has been a case of four outs in the lower leagues.
@@KurisuBlaze If you have the opportunity to get all 4 players out, take it. They may eventually rule that one of the earlier outs doesn't count, but it's still 3 outs because of the extra.
As always the 66 foot length of a cricket pitch is misleading as that is the length stumps to stumps. Batters stand in front of the stumps, and bowlers bowl from the popping crease in front of the stumps. This means the distance is the same as baseball.
The pitcher in baseball only keeps one foot on the rubber. He steps well forward with his other foot. The batter stands next to, not behind home plate. so the actual distance between where he releases the ball and the batter is much less than 60' 6".
Baseball pitches are faster too. But with no bounce, it's tricky to figure out the best way to compare reaction times.
Full tosses in cricket (when the ball doesn't bounce) are considered fairly easy to hit so I would say in that regard the bounce is a really big and important part of the game. Most dismissals of batters in cricket come from when the ball bounces in a way the batter doesn't expect and does not have enough time to react. A batter can get a good idea what the ball is going to do from the moment it is released, but when the ball is bouncing inconsistently it is extremely difficult to hit. The score in cricket is most often related to the condition of the pitch. Consistent bounce means high scores and low wickets. Inconsistent bounce means low scores, lots of wickets and short games.
@@pwhnckexstflajizdryvombqug9042 That is supported by what I've seen when first class cricketers have a try (for the cameras) at baseball and they manage reasonably well, whereas baseballers struggle at cricket.
@@jstnrgrs It is about the same because from the bowler's release point to a batsman playing on the front foot is probably around 54-56 feet. I doubt that this is merely a coincidence, it is likely to be a significant distance in terms of human biomechanics.
It's actually less. Popping crease to popping crease is 58 feet but the batsman is generally well in front of that and the bowler's hand can be in front as well, as long as part of his foot is behind at the release point.
Cricket❤❤❤
Methods of dismissal: Cricket has 10 ways (used to be 11) in which a batter can be out. How does this compare with Baseball?
There is a couple ways, some similiar to cricket.
Strike-out: when a player misses 3 pitches thrown inside the strikezone. The strikezone is a rectangular area defined by the width of the home plate and the rough distance between batter’s hip and armpits. Foul balls(ball is hit but not into the field of play) count as strikes up to 2 strikes, after which no more foul balls are counted as strikes. Whether a pitch is a strike or a ball(pitch thrown outside the strike zone) is called by the homeplate umpire that stands behind the catcher, a defender supposed to catch any not-hit pitch.
Thrown-out: The defense is able to touch the base with a played ball before a runner is able to touch it.
Tagged out: A defender can touch the runner with a played ball
Caught out, often called fly out by announcers: the ball is hit and caught out of the air by a defender, it doesn’t matter if the ball would have landed in play or foul.
Usually it's 5
CRICEKT = THE BEST
I've played both and Baseball is definitely harder, especially hitting the ball. You only really get 3 chances to make good solid contact and then you have to hit the ball in play. Foul balls don't count. Hitting a home run is crazy hard, the fields are generally bigger than a cricket pitch also.
In cricket the ball is bigger and the bat has a bigger surface area, you are allowed to leave balls and can allow yourself more time at the crease to "get your eye in" and the field is also 360 degrees.
Pitching and bowling are both very difficult and precise skills to master. You can't compare the 2 they are equally as difficult in there own right.
As for fielding baseballers need have far more accurate and stronger throws.
I disagree with your last point.
In cricket fielders are now throwing from far distances and dislodging stumps
You haven't played cricket . The ball is smaller in cricket. Baseball is just inverted cricket , in cricket focus is on batsman while in baseball pitcher is in focus .
@akshat_khare lol okay bro...."haven't played cricket" cricket ball is bigger, google it son.

Why all cricket clips are taken from Bangladesh cricket league
One thing a lot of the videos that compare baseball to cricket always miss out is that in cricket deliberately bowling at the batter's body or head is a legitimate tactic, whereas in baseball it seems discouraged.
This may be because your - and similar - videos concentrate on one-day cricket where the rules often limit (but certainly do not eliminate) the use of such tactics, but even in one-day cricket bowlers will bowl occasional fast balls that bounce up at body or head level to surprise or intimidate batter, or force a reflexive shot to give an easy catch.
In two-innings "test" or "first-class" cricket - or even in amateur cricket played in towns or villages around the country every weekend - the tactic is much more common.
Isn't it dangerous? Yes. Cricketers have died - including at least one heir to the throne (which is why George III became king, and not his older, more talented, brother).
They seem similar but skill difference is massive. Cricket require more skills in ever area.
😂
Not at all it's just because you're interested in cricket more than baseball
@@Dawird says who never watched cricket 😁 . A batter in cricket requires more skills than baseball. A bowler requires more skills than a pitcher , fielders requires more skills in cricket even a wicket keeper/ catcher requires more skills in cricket . More importantly a viewer requires more skills 😎
@@jitendrameghwal0832 yeah right, says the guy who never watched a single baseball game. Gimme a break lol
@@Dawird i have watched enough tell me right now what requires more skills. we don't wear gloves 😁
There is no inning in Cricket, its an innings even when singular.
Baseball have 9 inngings
So in cricket, they use wider flat bats and know where the ball is coming due to where the wickets are standing? And they wear face guards? Sounds like a really easy sport for any baseball player lmao
Well ,spin bowlers can spin the ball , pacers can swing the ball and don’t forget that if you get hit in the d##k then nothing will happen and game will be continued.
In cricket you need to hit 360 degree as there are 9 feilders that can be stretched in any corner of the field . In cricket the average speed of ball is around 140 to 160 km/hr for pace and 90 to 120 km/hr for spin .
In baseball , it is easy to know where the ball will land but in cricket it is impossible for a newbie to know where the ball is . The baller could do a off break or doosra or in swing or out swing to change the tragedy of the ball .
@@SecularShadow Yea same for baseball. If the pitcher hits the batter, he gets punished for having horrible command. If the batter hits a line drive and plunks a fielder, the play goes on like nothing.
@@SecularShadow Hit 360 degrees? So a “foul ball” in baseball could be considered a hit in cricket? Wow sounds easy! And 140-160km/hr for a fastball is about the average range for baseball as well. 90-120 km/hr for a ball with movement is a bit too slow for baseball 😂
