Me as a cricket fan: That's a full toss it should be easy to hitđ
Exactly đ
Yepđ
Hahhaa yes and frankly this game is much easier.
Yeah same as i think.. In full toss even if u through it directly theres only one thing can happen (air in swing or air out swing/ari up/down swing đ). What is actually a normal option for a bowler in cricket. is there any other else bowler can do in baseball?? I dont know actually baseball too much..
Also i have one more thought about baseball (if u want to hit a ball as how u want then why dont u take a perfect bat?? Baseball bat is so tiny, it has only 2 option, either ball will going for home run or it will goes in higher in air) lol đ€·ââïžđ€Šââïž but in cricket batsman can play lots of nice tricky shoot without giving strong physical effort.. Thats the one of the nice thing..
@@naturebd6577 yes pitcher should throw away from the batter i.e. in cricket language must give room, a pretty easy ball in cricket.. this is a very easy sport
I think the bounce off the wicket in a cricket bowl is really devalued by baseball fans, when we face a ball there are so many ways the ball can travel, facing a fast bowler Pro level 85-95mph, (my standard 70-80mph) the ball can skid on (Stay low) kick up (bounce off) and that doesn't even include the lateral movement, whether you have the magic of Swing or Cutters or just hitting something on the pitch. I would love to see a baseball player face an over of inswinging yorkers with a couple of bouncers thrown in
Don't even get me started on spin.
Bruh cricket is ruthless
hand-eye coordination is the thing that matters the most
all this is true, but there's more to baseball than you think outside of bounce, they got swing too.
czcams.com/video/gr0eGwHOk9Q/video.html
I think baseball players could handle stuff like that. They deal with change ups, curves and sliders with all sort of movement.
Itâs easy to determine if a person has played cricket before by how he is holding the bat. The guy in white has clearly played cricket before, the guy in blue has never touched a cricket bat in his life
Most people know how to hold a bat doesnât mean there any good
@@9shazad No, a cricket fan can definitely tell the difference
@@9shazad Almost all people who haven't watched or played cricket won't know how to hold the bat properly. These things are best understood when you play the game itself or at least watch someone do it
@@9shazad No, the bat for a cricket bat is pretty unintuitive. When people hold it their instinct is to line the front of their bat more or less square with the lines of their fingers and to grip tight with both hands. In actual fact to make decent contact you want the bat twisted around in your hand, and the grip on your bottom hand (right for most players) should very, very loose so that you can control the direction you hit it in. A lot of pros only use two or three fingers of their bottom hand. You can see the bloke in the Colorado shirt is gripping it like a vice with his right hand, and as a result all of his hard swings are shooting off to the left in the follow through, making it very, very hard to make good contact. Nobody who has ever had even 20 minutes of coaching would hold the bat like he does.
Any person who has ever held a golf club correctly knows how to hold a baseball bat. It is a function of positioning the hands correctly in relation to the grain structure of the bat.
I'm an Aussie baseball player that has also played a lot of cricket. Both sports are great and present their own challenges, but i personally find hitting easier in baseball even at high speeds (infact i hate curve balls!)
Mate, everyone hates the curveball. Gone back to playing cricket and any delivery on the stumps to me feels like itâs a fat pitch down the middle. Fast bowlers coming onto the bat are so much easier!
@@flyingdutch9818 Except in cricket there are eno second chances, now batter can score it's of runs and that is the point. But in baseball only one hit is required at a time with multiple chances after getting strike. Cricket there are no strikes.
Same situation except I find it easier to hit in cricket. Weird how that works out sometimes
If you are a first-order batsman in cricket then baseball will be very easy for you.
Australian cricketers are the best....at sledgingđ
greetings from cricket fan
bro giving him full toss and thinking he will win đ€Ł
Baseball mey esehi hota hai
Basically every ball a pitcher throws is called fulltoss in cricket.They are considered most easiest to score runs..
Yeah not with baseball bat
Yeah but not from so close up, not when the bowler/pitcher is standing and chucking the ball, and especially when the bat is a round bat!
The sports are different, you dont have such a giant surface area to hit the ball and the ball moves a lot more in the air. So the "fulltoss" is not equivalent. Also, the balls are much faster on average from a closer distance.
Fulltoss above the waist arenât allowed in cricket. Why is that? Is a fulltoss above the waist too scary for cricketers? And if fulltoss are so easy in cricket that proves baseball is harder because it isnât easy in baseball. Remember we donât get a surfboard to hit the ball
@@philmccracken179 and we did not get giant hand glove to catch a ballđ€Ł
Every cricketer can play baseball easily but only a few baseballers can play cricket easily.
It's not like that baseball is difficult to hit home runs. U can hit the ball easily but home runs is different. Baseball players can play fast bowling but spin will be difficult
why you all indians don't stop spreading this lie

@@lennymcgrath9414 when?
Im guessing Cricket, like baseball, looks so simplistic but has a lot of complexities that comes along with it
Yes
In baseball, it's easier to defend than it is to score. In cricket, it is *far* easier to score than it is to defend. Baseball generally has three ways to get a batter/runner out. Cricket has at least seven. In order to understand both sports, you really have to watch it, pay attention, and have things explained to you along the way.
Both have their challenges, baseball it's always been difficult to score but now with guys throwing mid to high 90's minimum on average it's even more difficult than it was before in the past. It's definitely easier to defend unless you're facing a monster lineup and even then the pitcher still has the advantage 70% of the time.
Cricket there's the bigger bat/paddle/club so easier to score but harder to defend. But as someone who used to play baseball yeah whether it's Baseball or Cricket, watching it and thinking "this is boring and easy" then try playing are entirely different stories. Both are arguably the most mentally challenging, focusing sports especially hitting a baseball you have like .2 seconds to react and commit then there's actually hitting it and hitting it fair lol.
@@MKF30 I mean when you say cricket has a bigger club, your opinion seems very devalued
@@RTG0 How about a larger piece of wood that work for you?? Is this a troll post or have you just never played either sport clearly or are you just one of those UK snobs? When you troll, your opinion is devalued.
This man middled every ball bowled with a baseball bat and played proper cricket shots!
So I assume "middled" means that the ball was hit correctly and what we would call "square it up"? This guy didn't in baseball terms. He "middled" the last one maybe and that was a cookie (meaning it was easy to hit). Y'all ain't touching a real pitcher trying to strike you out.

@@omariparker3769 Strange guy you.

And who wrote the rules, where, and what year?
Not many know that baseball was actually inspired from Cricket. Cricket is easily 200 years older than baseball.
The earliest mentions dating back to 16th century and first official games played in 19th century :)
It's a game for people who can't play cricket and need a big glove to catch
@@marknewbold2583 oof
Cricket became a formal sport with fixed rules (or laws) earlier than baseball, or its predecessor rounders. This is because the British upper class popularized it. Rounders was and is still considered a lower class pass-time played in village grounds. The lower class settlers from Great Britain dominated America especially after the independence of USA. In their time, cricket was played in exclusive clubs, with costly equipment. Unlike in India, where people quickly started using cheap replacement bats and balls to play gully cricket, American settlers associated cricket with the upper class, and shifted their attention to a game they were already playing and were familiar with. They evolved rounders into a more serious sport, baseball. They replaced the poles in rounders with bases, made a longer bat, adopted a harder ball and brought the game to the masses. Rules were formalized by the companies which sponsored the games, with several versions still used, and these have evolved. So both sports are technically equally old, but formalization makes baseball younger.
@@rsvinekar The Laws of Cricket predate the Rules of Baseball by best part of two centuries. Then again those Laws (all six of them) were penned onto a silk handkerchief in a public house. The Official Rules of Baseball were adapted from the New York Knickerbocker Club in 1854.
To take it to extremes there are depictions of humans hitting a "ball" with a stick in the Pyramids.
So how was there a game of baseball played before the rules of the game existed?
@@flamingfrancis Nice of you to fill in the details. Thanks đ
And there's Shane Warne who took 700+ test wickets bowling at 50-60 mph. đ„
Hes a living legend
Yes and fastball pitchers or bowlers are not always the answer.I am very familiar with decades of cricket experience but in case you are not aware there are several pitchers from recent and bygone times that specialised knuckle ball and palm ball pitchers did exactly the same. Today's cricketers use knuckle balls that are exact copies gripwise.
Warne's LB action was previously used by a great Mexican pitcher Fernendo Valenzuela who had a remarkable career with the Dodgers....look him up.
@@flamingfrancis Thanks for writing this much đđŒ I will look him up for sure.
He was a spinner
@@flamingfrancis yeah, but it's not like Valuenzuela invented leg-spin or anything, or made Warnie what he was. But if Warnie said he did, then fine.
Cricket is more complex there's ball placement, spin, swing, bounce and many other factors you need to take in in microseconds before hitting a shot
Bsseballs can swing more than cricket balls, and pitchers have to be precise as well.
@@cricketexplained8526 so which is difficult cricket or base ball
@@robb_lucci9872 The fact is that it is harder to hit a baseball into play if it is being delivered by an elite pitcher. But elite cricket works in a different way and has its own challenges.
@@robb_lucci9872 definitely cricket because there's so much going on, you need a higher skill set for everything involved, even the planning.
Batting is harder in baseball, and bowling (pitching) is harder in Cricket. Batting averages are much higher in cricket, you have a bigger bat, you can't strike out, you don't have to run if you hit it in play, there isn't foul territory, etc... As for Bowling (pitching), It's significantly harder to record an out in Cricket. If batting was as hard in Cricket as it was in Baseball test matches would take 45 minutes. People might disagree with this, but it's extremely obvious if you learn enough about both sport.
I've always wondered how a team of baseball players would perform in cricket and visa versa. I suspect baseball players would struggle with fielding in cricket and would find it distracting to face a bowler running up before bowling. I would love to see women softball players offered the chance to learn cricket and form the core of a USA women's cricket team.
There is a USA women's cricket team. What I think a baseball player would find hard are (1) the bowling style (2) leg-spin (3) short balls at the head.
They'd have the fielding down OK after some training.
Realistically, a team full of baseball outfielders should do well
A good comparison would probably be a Australia or Netherlands Baseball vs Cricket match
You do realise that the USA Softball team have won just about every Olympic Gold Medal that has ever been on offer. Given their national standing they wouldn't be very interested in stuffing around with cricket especially when the USA have a National Cricket Association.
@@flamingfrancis On the other hand, the USA Softball team(the men's team) has not finished in the top 3 of the World Championship since 2000, where it was dominated by New Zealand until the last few years where other nations have gotten better
I'm not sure if I agree with you on baseball players struggling with fielding in cricket because there has been a number of American fielding coaches who are ex-baseball players coming over to the U.K., Australia and India to coach T20 teams in fielding. Clearly the people that run cricket teams see something in the way that baseball players are coached in fielding, and think that they have something to offer to cricket.
FYI, I was a cricket fan before I got into baseball, so I'm trying to be objective with my assessment here.
US (birthplace of Baseball) has a cricket team in the 17th century. County style cricket such as New York, Boston and other towns/cities were played during the birth of America. If you see history, cricket gave birth to Baseball/Softball. In fact, I really likes two sports very much. But it should be popular in United States too. I hope many Americans should like the sport, so ICC Cricket World Cup will be one of the most popular tournament after FIFA World Cup
baseball is what happened when rounders and cricket had a baby. fixed your description for you!
As a cricket fan, I also hope for the same.
USA is hosting next T20 world cup in 2024 and cricket will return to the Olympic as well in 2028 Los Angeles Olympic.

I try to defend baseball in Australia and this video has set me back so much
Allan Border played baseball at local club level and said he got benefits out of it into his cricket. So that must count for something.
Very shallow. This video is absolute rubbish and proves absolutely nothing. The hitter would be made to look an genuine fool if he was facilng a good under 19 representative pitcher with a good breaking ball.

Cricket is more complex and for a real fan who understands it, never gets boring.
As a cricket player many of the skills you learn are pretty easily transferable to baseball. I rocked up to a baseball net in Japan while on holiday there and faced a few pitches at about 70mph. The action is very different so I'm by no means amazing but I was at least making contact and hitting some good drives.
The sports are similar, so if you're good at one you're probably gonna be at least decent at the other, even if the exact strategies and techniques differ.
I don't know the speed of pitches in cricket. 70mph is 12 year old baseball speeds. Good high school pitchers are hitting 90+. But mixthat in with multiple different pitches ( curve, change up and the real equalizer the slider) it is difficult. If I heard correctly in video the elite bowlers throw around 95? What is distance between bowler and hitter? Baseball is 60ft 6inches. Elite baseball pitchers hit 100+ fairly regularly. Would be interesting to get elites of both sports to see how close or far off the completely different sports are. And the difference in skills needed to compete at a professional level. Not elite level but see if any players from each sport could compete.
@@ThomasLeonard-rd9hf I believe cricket bowlers are closer to the batsman, though not by a lot. Also, while it's true cricket bowlers are slower due to not being allowed to bend their elbow, I think most baseball players under-estimate just how much variance bouncing the ball can give.
Still, I do think that as far as flat out skill is concerned, hitting a well-pitched baseball is tougher than a well-bowled cricket ball, simply due to the bat being round in baseball.
Where the real difference in the sports comes from - in my opinion - is the fact that in cricket you need to be able to repeatedly face the bowlers for many dozens, if not hundreds, of deliveries in order to be effective.
Baseball seems to be much more a game about getting one good read on your opponent, while cricket is more of a long-haul strategical game.
@@isaakvandaalen3899Iâm pretty sure mlb pitchers are closer by a few feet I might be wrong though mlb is around 60 feet
Cricket> baseball
Popularity, history, difficult, strategy, class!
I absolutely love the Cricket content created by Jomboy. Makes it very easy to learn Cricket. đ
The art of bowling perfectly in cricket (pace bowling) literally takes more than a year to even learn it
ok and it takes multiple years to learn a single pitch in baseball. Some pitchers have worked on their curveball for 5+ years before using it in a game. These are not complexities unique to cricket, idk why you are all so pompous about cricket being more difficult.
@@chaboiearl4266 it will take more than a yr to even get a legal bowling action. It takes much more time to build pace and variations. I can just chuck a ball and it would be a legal pitch
@@controversybuttrue1331 Just because a terrible pitch is legal doesnt mean its a good pitch?? Like by that logic you could say football is extremely simple just because you need to kick a ball which doesnt take much practice?? Obviously not because there is a significant level of technique in every kick, just like in every pitch and every defensive play in both cricket and baseball. There is literally no point in acting like one is more difficult unless you just want to feel superior for no reason.
for a cricket batsman its a dream to get him a full toss ball
@I do NOT see replies I mean, the same concept applies in cricket, and I'd argue that the bounce allows a bowler (pitcher) to do more with the ball and have more variations.
For example, baseball has Curveballs while in cricket we call that Swing, but in cricket there is also Seam bowling, which is where the bowler gets the ball to bounce unevenly and jag left or right as it bounces. Seam can be bowled in the same delivery as Swing and at pace, and I'm not aware of any baseball counterpart.
I'm not hating on baseball or anything, for one thing cricket bowlers are generally a little slower, plus the wider bat does help the batsman hit and (more importantly) aim their shots. Mostly I'm making a point that bowling / pitching strategies aren't unique to cricket / baseball, and you can bet that players of both sports have some pretty dastardly deliveries to give the batsman a bad time.
@@isaakvandaalen3899 A good pitcher in baseball will throw three or four pitches that look exactly the same 3/4 of the distance and then curve in different directions. The batter must guess which it is from very limited information.
Example: You have a pitch coming towards you. Is it a 155km/h fastball that seems to rise, a 130km/h curveball in the dirt, a 145km/h 2-seam coming inside, or a 145km/h cutter running away from you? They all look the same until they're 5m from you.
That's not to mention the lovely 120km/h knuckleball that no one--not the hitter, the pitcher, or the catcher--knows where it'll go.
The pitchers/bowlers will do the best they can given the rules of their game, and the hitters/batsmen do the same. As you said, they're different, though similar, games with different rules and strategies.
Anybody can bowl in baseball.....but bowling in cricket needs several years of practice....đ đ đ

Nice, now trying hitting it with a baseball bat
Just one over of top quality leg spin on a turning pitch will sort out all the base ball fans who claim it's a superior sport.
There are atleast 20 different ways a cricket ball can come at you when the bowler releases the ball. The conditions (pitch and weather) play such a huge role in a cricket match which is almost non existent in baseball.
So there is no weather in America? Why do they have weather forecasts on TV then?
@@cricketexplained8526 Gosh, if the conditions are overcast the ball will swing prodigiously. If it's hot and the pitch bakes up , it starts to crack thereby assisting to ball to spin prodigiously. If it's a green pitch then it will seam as well as swing.
Cricket is a different beast, altogether!
@@kirtigupta9753 It is, but you know that baseballs can swing more than cricket balls right? Obviously not.

Cricket is lot more complicated
As weather
To condition of ball
Condition of pitch
Wind
Bowlers finger
Everything matters...
But baseball has different complications..
Only T20 cricket can be compared to baseball...
All those factors play into baseball aswell.
@@BnMProductions11 by condition of pitch we mean the condition of the playing surface, just to mention. It's the main difference between the two sports. Baseball has more pace and aerodynamic variation. Cricket has less aerodynamic variation but deviation off the playing surface. This is not intended as a slight on baseball.
@@BnMProductions11 I don't think the condition of pitch/wicket and bowlers finger apply. Welp, you wouldn't even know what those mean.
@@FS-me8mj I don't really understand the comment of bowler's finger here. There are pitchers in baseball who have had to remove themselves from availability because they broke an important fingernail that they use for their variations.
@@BnMProductions11 There is a big difference in terminologies between baseball and cricket, that can confuse such debates.
The word "pitch" for instance. In baseball, that refers to the delivery of the ball. In cricket it refers to the ground on which the ball bounces. The softness, wetness, the amount of grit, sand etc. on the ground affect the bounce of the ball, a factor negligible in baseball.
The word "strike" "ball", "defense" and "offense" have completely different and sometimes opposite meanings in both games. In cricket, a strike happens when a batsman "strikes" the ball. In baseball, it happens when batter misses and the ball "strikes" the imaginary strike zone. This is because the umpire has to call a strike in baseball using his judgement, the strike zone is not a real thing. In cricket, everyone can see the (very real) wickets being hit, so no call is needed.
A "ball" is a valid delivery in cricket, while a "no-ball" is an invalid one which can give the batsman runs. "Ball" in baseball is a delivery which misses the strike zone and can help the batter earn a walk (after four of them), contributing to a run. In short, a "no-ball" in cricket is equivalent to "ball" in baseball.
In cricket, the batsman "defends the wicket" and is called the defender especially in test cricket, while the bowling team is offense. Cricket batsmen stop the ball from hitting the wickets, and do not need to run on contact. In baseball, it is the other way round, the baseball batter tries to aggressively hit the ball and has to run on contact. The closest equivalent to a defensive stop from cricket is a bunt in baseball, but even there the batter has to run on contact. Baseball fans use words like offense and defense very often, while cricket fans rarely use these terms.

Cricket is tougher than baseball
Slight benefit of baseball is that ball comes directly to the batter as against in cricket, after ball bounces ball can spin and swing a lot.

I love baseball and cricket. Cricket is my favourite. I remember Botham going to the US as a kid, he tried baseball and was offered a contract by some big clubs.
Well cricket need more skills than strength, baseball need more strength than skill.
Cricketers faces 145+km/h ball in a regular basis, baseball for a cricketer is like a full toss spin ball without turn.
Cricket is basically a slow game, which involves technique,deception, variation, gamble, anticipation etc and most importantly a mind game.
Cricketer needs lots of more skills than a baseball player
Depends entirely on your position in baseball... 5-tool 2-way baseball players are some of the greatest skilled athletes on earth. For example, guys like Ichiro Suzuki and Rickey Henderson would have straight up BROKEN cricket if they were to ever to have been a partnership. It wouldn't have even been fair. Theyd be smashing sixers, and squeeking 2 or 3 runs out of absolute nothing-contact

@@Dingosean are you dumb? choose from these options , yes or yes

@@itzbashxll._6987 Then why has every cricket bowler who's tried his hand at baseball failed?
Just after this Laurie flew to Australia to win the title with the Perth Scorchers. Best player in the Final too.
full toss is a gift in cricket for batsman
And a full toss is a gift to a baseball player, if thrown the same way as it is in cricket -- slow and perfectly waist high. You really think this is how "full tosses" are thrown in baseball? The baseball "full toss" is thrown at 100 MPH, with left, right, up and down movement on the ball while it's in the air.
Then you have a curve ball, where the seams of the ball act with the air, making even top-level baseball players look silly, and I know cricket players will *not* be able to hit a curve ball without tons of practice, and may never be able to hit it.
@@paulmckenzie3181 cricket balls deviate even more because of the symmetric stching structure of a harder havier cricket ball, we call it swing bowling (google it) , there r lots of other variations, because the ball is allowed to hit the ground, (remember it can be on the full like baseball too.).
Baseball is great too, I think baseball is pitchers game, where cricket is more of a batters game where lots of runs to be scored, where u can hit 360 round the park with a flat bat.
A 90mph bowling is way harder to face than 100 mph pitch .
Lol why are cricket scores 531953753-5311953754 then and baseball scores are like 4-2?
@@philmccracken179 We have 90 overs i.e 540 balls in a day in a test match, 50 overs i.e 300 balls per innings in a one day match. 20 overs i.e 120 balls in a T20 match.
Secondly, cricket is a way more skillfull sport. A cricket batter would do way way way way better in baseball than the baseball batter will in a cricket match. The video proves it too. It's time america gets rid of this joker sport called as baseball and take cricket up.
@@nishantthakur3357then why do baseball players make multiple times more money? Why donât cricket players go to the US and make 400 million usd playing the easier game?
@@taylorgang2237 MLB brings money coz of you guys watching them, MLB started on 1876 or something meanwhile IPL started during 2008 if league cricket had 200+ years to grow compared to MLB i'm pretty sure cricketers will be more rich
@@RandomLelouchFan I get what youâre saying but thatâs not my point. If a top tier cricket player could dominate baseball because itâs easy they would come play to make the money. Cricket players vastly underestimate the bat difference and the fact that foul balls exist and thereâs limited holes to hit a ball. Its wildly hard and the movement on pitches is way more
Cricket is more dense and strategic than baseball
Baseball is a very flat game compared to very intricate cricket. A staring ball or curve ball can only have so many variations. But cricket has many variables that makes it interesting till the last ball is bowled. Sheer strength alone doesnât matter (unlike Basketball or other sports).
there are over 15 different pitches in baseball you clown, and plenty of strategies regarding deception and tunneling, don't talk about something u dont know.
cricketers also have great hand eye cordination and hitting power so most of them can hit few
There are 3 formats in cricket :
T20 : last for 3 hours
Each team play one innings of 20 overs(120 balls)
ODI: last for 8 hours
Each team play one innings of 50 overs(300 balls)
Test: last for 5 days
Each team plays 2 innings of unlimited overs though in single day 90 overs are bowled
& each day is divided into 3 sessions of 30 overs
They is lunch break between 1st & 2nd session & tea break in between 2nd & 3rd session
There is a 4th format, Indoor Cricket
@@michael5549 there is a 5th format, T10!

Nah. Baseball is better and more popular than Criket. Hope it never becomes popular here in America.

@@scarlet33333n and yet they play it commonly in Japan and Korea, both of which are in Asia. My point is if cricket is crazy hard and baseball is much easier, a top tier cricket player would have gone to play in mlb for multiple times the money. But they canât. The batters wouldnât be able to hit a thing.

The best thing about cricket is that it tests defensive skills of a batsman as well while baseball is all about hit or miss which makes it boring.
They do play bunt. Which is a defensive shot, tap the ball and make a dash for the second base.
No, they also play pulls, drags and bunts to get to base.
@@cricketexplained8526 that's still lower risk plays trying to score. In cricket batters are literally playing for survival. Not trying to score - just survive.
@@KingoftheHill63 that is not true. A cricketer who cannot score runs is useless.
In short form cricket you are expected to score quickly. How do you think they score 150-200 runs off 120 balls?
@@cricketexplained8526 I didn't mean all the time. I was thinking about batters trying to survive until the break or night watchmen or stuff like that. Or even waiting for a bowler to get bowled out in short form. There's a thought process at all times between defense and offense.
Cricket is great!
During baseballs off-season.
True! đ
Very different sports, yet at the same time very similar in so many ways
Baseball is not even 1%of cricket
I played cricket and if I played baseball, I wouldn't need that gloves. Baseball is easier compared to cricket. It is just a full toss game.
Does this look easy to you? czcams.com/video/zv3D5w28CGQ/video.html
@@cricketexplained8526 yes, this is easy.This delivery could have been hit by swinging the bat vertically.
There will be some challenge for some other types of curving deliveries. But, it all looks fine. đ
@@janaizeme6937 if you hit that with a vertical bat swing, you wouldn't get any pace or power on it with a baseball bat in a baseball match. I wouldn't expect it to go far.
@@cricketexplained8526 you will be surprised that there will be power . Thanks to cricket.
I would try to hit it horizontally then. No issue.
I love you cricket my favourite game is Cricket my heart is cricket đđđđđđđđđđđ§đ©đ§đ©đ§đ©đ§đ©đ§đ©đ§đ©đđđđ
Lord's is home of cricket. Thanks MLB for doing it in London. even though I don't know anything about the game, am really curious how's the game.
Seeing the cover drive of a top batsman will make you immediately love cricket It's too complex and analytical in test matches a mind game and gentleman's game.
Baseball is also very analytical and statistics-driven.
Baseball does not even require 1% of the skills it requires to make it in cricket
Lolđ
Not true dude. At any high level, baseball is seriously tough.
Yes,laurie can middle the ball well,hitting that sweet spot.
This was much more honest and genuine comparison than the one done by the Sports Science!
As Asian cricket player and coach. We think ,baseball it's easy to hit full toss ball. But there bat size different than cricket.
Overally both are high intensity gamesâ€
Damn this lockouts hitting harder than odors swing at bautista
I can't believe you're rocking a Rockies Jersey. You don't see that ever.
Worst run franchise
Theyâre trying to represent every MLB team. Every show they have new jerseys
Rockies Rock!
In the 70s and 80s, my father used to play cricket for our country, Bangladesh. When we moved to America in the early 90s, I was flipping through the few channels that we had in those days and I saw this dude who looked so much like my dad with the hair and mustache and he was also batting like my dad but he was holding the bat in such an unusual position compared to cricket. In the same game... my first baseball game ever seen... that guy also ate some popcorn from a kid while trying to catch a foul ball that went into the stands near first base... I will let you guess who that player was. I love both cricket and baseball soooooo much.

What's your dad's name? Btw I am from bd.
Usa is going to host the 2024 t20 world cup. Let's go đȘđȘđȘ
In cricket you use the bat not just to hit the ball but to protect your body head as well. It's an offensive as well as defensive tool.
You hit âdefensivelyâ in baseball at times as well
Baseball plays blunts
I've always wondered how Sachin would fare in Baseball.
Full toss = Home run!
Nice but try hitting a pitch with a baseball bat tho, not a cricket stick
No way that pitch was more than 70MPH
đđđ€Ł
Looked like 60
Same goes to both ways. Machines can bowl / pitch that fast.
Respect to all games but bro in term of speed a bouncy rock hard ball with speed 95MPH staight to head or body is way tougher to play than 90MPH full tossed ball(pitch)
In cricket some bowlers touch 100mph with the ball bouncing and moving....and all the pitches in baseball are the easiest ball in cricket.....
Especially cricket's test match I think it's the hardest in all sports...playing fo 8 hours in a day and 5 days facing 80-90 mph .... and the bolwers can come back in the same match....the bats man can struggle against fire bolwers and can score runs against not so fired bowlers
Baseball is a side quest for cricketers
Baseball is a harder game but very different overall.
you would embarrass yourself playing baseball ya clown
@@taylorgang2237 Cricket is very complicated and harder. Ball just comes straight in baseball but in cricket it comes in many ways, such as spin, Yorker, googly, leg break off break.
And cricket has many tough and complicated rules.
â@@taylorgang2237 it's a useless game
@@Mom_stealer_the_III baseballs can break in a bunch of different directions. A baseball is significantly harder to hit than a cricket ball. Baseball players get paid more money as well. If cricket was harder, guys would come make 40mil a year playing baseball.
You made us proud evans. đ
The way they pitch in baseball is called a full toss ball in cricket. It is the easiest delivery to hit.
A cricketer can play baseball easy, but a baseball player will be like noob in cricket đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
With T20 & 100 a lot of cricketers are taking starting to take tips from baseball with launch angles and how to load the lower half to maximize distance, the big thing a lot of Americans don't appreciate is that in cricket once you are out you are done for the day so it's not all about hitting the ball far & in the air.
Also Max has a lot of cricket potential, from the few balls we saw I reckon a few weeks of just average Saturday afternoon club cricket & he'd be a handy batsman
I just don't understand why people get so bent out of shape over this. Cricket and Baseball are two completely different sports. The only thing that's similar is they have two teams, a ball, and a bat of some kind. Other than that everything else, the strategy, the flow of gameplay, which parts are exciting are completely different.
Now since Laurie Evans has done us proud by hitting baseball for a home run, now let's see if any baseball batter can even face Shaheen Afridi or Mitchell Starc bowling at 95mph and with inswinging yorkers. đđ€Ł
the baseball batter is gonna lose his toes haha
Laurie got 3 chances. Let's give the baseball batter 6 balls. 1 each from Starc, Shaheen, Bumrah, Rabada, Boult and Archer. I would be astonished if he scored even 3 runs....
Who is she? Shaheen
That was not a hr lmao
â@@mycricketingworld5328that would be too much. Lets just give them some okay once like part time fast bowlers. Even then they won't be able to play.
fun fact all cricketers think that in base ball they are actually playing full toss ball or no ball so it's very easy to hit
Cricket is the best game ever invented. There is the shortest version of the game only 20 over a side (120 balls per side) such a match only takes about 3 hours.....50 overs match takes about 7.5 hours....test match can last 5 days. each version of the game is amazing fascinating skillful exciting etc etc so theres something for everyone. Its endlessly infinitely fascinating sort of like baseball and chess all rolled into 1...The bowlers bowls the ball tries to hit the 3 sticks (known as wickets) if he hits them then the batsman is out... the batsmen tries to defend his wickets tries to hit the ball and then runs between the wickets to score runs..........If he hits the ball out of the pitch he scores 4 or 6 runs....but if he runs between wickets but doesnt reach the other wicket before the ball then he is run out...same as baseball
Theres so many variables the pitch , the weather, the red cork ball that swings both ways and seams off the pitch....Theres fast 7 foot bowlers theres should spin bowlers than spin it both ways that fool the batsmen........Theres wicket keepers who stand behind the wickets to stop the ball ....then if the batsman hits the ball in the air and is caught he is also out
you add up all the runs scored and wickets....when 10 wickets go down the team is out
Its the 2nd most popular world sport but its growing even faster partly due to the explosion in t20 cricket the shorter game...But also due to the explosion in asia and their economic explosion too...Its also been ingenious how cricket has embraced technology to show so much detail in replays and decision and third referees (umpires) endless statistics on its history comparing every player who every played....every country too...Its beloved in massive countries like india 1.45 billion pakistan 220 million bangladesh 182 million uk 68 million s africa 50 million west indies 45 million kenya 50 million australia 26 million etc etc
But its more than this its a festival a carnival its whole worlds coming together to share this wonderful game,...taking time to share the experience it involves massive food festivals beer festivals families ppl of every age....theres all kinds of kits involved the stadiums are magnificent cathedrals to cricket and culture ...its shared cultures....nothing brings more people together for happier longer experiences than the wonderful world of cricket....
There are no words to sum up my love for the game ...I dont want to diss baseball or football or anything else. I just think no I know cricket is the greatest game ever invented but I dont want to sound arrogant and I hope everyone gets to enjoy it as a player a fan or a coach or even as a passer by its life at its best
