"What was wrong? " Firstly, consider in the cricket, the bowler had no run up, the pitch wasn't "roughed up" so the ball slowed and bounced evenly, and the batsman wasn't wearing pads/protection, proving there was neveribtended to be any pace in the ball. Admittedly, making contact may be easier with a cricket bat, but there are more players trying to catch you out, so you need more control. Add to that the ball isn't bowled into your optimal hitting zone, as it is in baseball, it can come at you at any height, angle, spin and speed. Not saying one is easier than the other, but try watching a few bouncers, yorkers, or beamers coming in and find a baseball player to hit them!

Came here to say similar, But also in cricket (not limited overs) as a bowler you want the batsman to make contact with the ball, the most likely 'out' is caught. I would love to see that guy try taking his eye off the ball to look at his predicted bounce, with a decent bowler, with anything like spin or maybe a medium pace swing bowler.

@@enigma2336 Out caught is because of miss hit, agreed, this is more likely if the batsman is trying to hit the ball. A good opening bowler, with the field up, is tempting the batsman to score, because a miss hit will probably go to slips or the keeper. A good opening bat will only play those balls they have to, until they have gauged the speed of the ball and pitch and the level of movement. Its also more likely if the batsman is trying to score, rather than just defending his wicket. On an OK wicket with a relatively old ball, most batsmen can defend their wicket. It really depends very much on the condition of the wicket, the ball, the style of the bowler. Why are so many balls bowled that are not going to hit the wicket? Note, its not because the bowler can't consistently hit the wicket, most can.

@@azul_6.5-cf7dm It's about the framing of the video; they say "can bowl at over 90 mph", and then show a significantly slower bowler (perhaps due to the lack of room for a proper run up) who's not doing anything with the ball - no spin, no swing, no nothing. A cricket fan can recognise that that occurred, a baseball fan probably wouldn't be able to as they're not familiar with how the ball flies when bowled as opposed to pitched. Now, were the pitches at 80mph? I don't know, I'm not familiar enough with baseball to be able to tell. But the whole thing's suspect due to that deception - I'd also note that baseball in America is played to a very high standard, whereas cricket is not (their recent performance in the T20 world cup is one of those "from out of nowhere" performances, historically they've been one of the worst teams in the world, we'll have to wait and see if they can maintain it), and they got a pro US baseball player and a US cricketer; that doesn't make the cricketer bad, but we are talking different standards of play.

It’s not just about slogging the ball as hard as you can in cricket. You have a bat with a surface called a blade for a reason. Often you use the bat to guide a ball into space using the pace of the bowler. In other words you’re simply deflecting the trajectory of the ball to a place you want it to go. This includes behind the batsman.

Americans used to play cricket in colonial times, but as the ground must be carefully prepared & maintained it fell out of favour, because baseball was easier to set up, especially during the Civil War, in military camps etc. The difference is that the bowler can fool the batter with spin & unexpected movement of the ball. Sometimes the batter can not predict where the ball will go. The ball maybe unplayable if pitched close to the batter, or much further away than he expects. The art of the bowler is fooling the batter.

The "rising star" baseball batter has his name written on the screen, but the "total nonentity" all-rounder cricketer, who apparently plays for the national team, only has his name spoken (I don't know how to spell his name so I can't find him anywhere online). I don't know how old that TV broadcast is, but he isn't a current national team-member. While the basic idea of the comparison isn't bad the execution of it is skewed in favour (yes, I use a U!) of baseball. The US ODI (One Day International) team is ranked 17 (out of 19), after Namibia but ahead of Oman.

A major league baseball hitter versus an all-rounder (non-specialist) from the US team (I have never seen the US cricket team in any major competition. I didn't know they even had a National team or could spell cricket - probably a bunch ex-pats from India). Every one of those deliveries sat up in the sweet spot where even a blind, six-year-old could hit it. Those are the type of deliveries you bowl to young children in beach cricket at a family BBQ, so the little kids get to experience hitting a ball (eventually), then you pretend to drop it when they hit it straight to you ... until the snags are ready. Then you get them out, next ball with an in-swinging yorker. It was on astroturf, so the ball couldn't spin or cut. That guy also appeared to be bowling spin, which is already slow and relies on deviation off the ground to beat the batsman, but a spin delivery would not deviate on astroturf. It would just slide and kill off what little speed there is then pop-up and sit there in the air like T-ball. Plus, the all-rounder was doing the bowling (all-rounders are not specialist bowlers) and batting (all-rounders are not specialist batsmen either). So this guys is an average bowler and average batter on a team that doesn't ever get to play against good teams. I didn't notice, but did the Major League hitter also pitch? Maybe, he did. Put the MLB hitter hitter up against a real 1st class bowler from any major cricket-playing nation (only fair - he's a specialist batter in the best baseball competition on the planet) on a proper cricket pitch with a full run-up, so the ball can cut and spin off the ground at 30-45 degree angles and double the speed in this video, sometimes swinging in to you on your toes, sometimes coming off the ground at your head, elbow, chest, balls, etc. It should also be pointed out that sometimes you want the batsman to hit the ball. The trick is to force them to hit the ball in a certain way, so it goes to fielder. You place the fielders on a cricket field and you bowl in a way that forces the batsman to hit towards a fielder, so (a) they don't score and (b) there's a chance of catching them out or running them out. It forces them to play riskier shots if they want to hit it somewhere else to score runs and there's more chance of a miss or miss-hit. In this example, for both batsmen, they were only testing if they could hit the ball into play. Everywhere is into play on a cricket field. There are no fouls. Into play may also be into the hands of the eleven fielders out there waiting all around you to catch the ball, even if you just snick it and it goes behind you - one of the most common ways to get someone out because of the wicket-keeper and the slips cordon. A more fair comparison would be to get the Australian cricket team to play an American MLB baseball team in both a full cricket match on a cricket field and a full baseball game on a baseball field. Just a final note too: a lot of cricket players in Australia have also played baseball for fun before the whole professional league in India started. Now, they don't really have an off-season, because they can make too much money in India.

That astroturf is detrimental to cricket as it doesn't favor Bowlers at all while a Baseball pitcher has no problems since he won't land on turf just pitch at full length with however speed he wants to generate while a bowler wants to extract spin or bounce or swing or seem from the pitch which there is none. And let's not talk about that bowler won't even get into any state team of any major cricket playing nation and he is up against a pro of MLB that's how much fair this comparison is.

These two sports are very different and the players at the top of the game are, I imagine , equally talented at their own different skills and techniques. As you go up the levels of each game the sport specific techniques become more essential to success. An example: As a very mediocre amateur league cricketer in England I’ve bowled (pitched) my 65 mph swingers at lots of guys who were excellent tennis players or hockey players but who were relatively new to cricket. Those guys have great reactions and hand eye coordination, but because they didn’t have much cricketing technique it was relatively easy, even for me ,to get them out or to set my fielders to stop them scoring. Sure if I accidentally put the ball in their preferred hitting zone they could smack it. But cricket isn’t just about one ball, and very quickly I could work out how to get them out. Also, they couldn’t identify the subtle changes in my action when i tried to make the ball swing or bounce differently from ball to ball. These are things which most cricketers, even at my lowly standard, would be able to notice and adjust for. I’m sure that I would be an equally clueless and easy opponent if I tried to play their sports at anything above the beginners level. So in short, we’re not comparing apples to apples and it’s all pointless. But nevertheless fun to speculate

I guarantee against a top bowler he would not stick around to face more than one ball. He's not even wearing protection. He'd be getting one of those life-changing medical bills for his stay in the hospital. That was more than a little silly.

I think the basic premise here is strange. In baseball, the pitcher would be very happy for the batsman to not be able to contact with the ball. In cricket the bowler is trying to get the batsman to miss hit the ball, a swing and miss is generally not useful (OK it is in limited overs but not in Test or First Class. So pleased Ryan knew it was silly, even if he did not know why. Maybe just looking at the runs scored in games: I did a quick google of Latest Baseball scores results and latest cricket results. in baseball on Sept 1, 2023 I saw scores of 1-4, 3-7, 7-0 and 4-3 In cricket ICC Sept 1, 2023 , I saw 179 for 6 bet 130 (limited overs (T20)) and 131 lost to 133 for 2 (limited overs (T20)) There is a different expectation of scoring in the 2 games. Note in this T20 is the shortest international (and thus generally the lowest scoring) form of cricket. I think both of these examples were on the low side for scores but they still illustrate that scoring runs is easier in one than the other. I think a similar comparison could be done, with the same level of aptness by looking a scoring in US Football and Basket Ball or maybe Ice Hockey and either.

Random cricket guy from the US cricket team, I didnt even know they had a team??? Must admit Ive never seen USA in an international and if they were it's because they probably had an entry by default from the America's (North / South) so no talent there?? The bowler looked as bad as a high school level bowler or low level club cricket there is no comparison to national or international cricket in this test.

These comments are crazy!!! I’m a baseball fan but curious about Cricket. It’s so off putting reading the delusional & ignorant comments about baseball; as if they were in competition with each other. They a two totally different sports! This was a dumb study that only tested what was easier to hit a ball from, a baseball bat or cricket bat. That’s it. Not what sport is more fun, what sport has more fans or what sport is harder to play. Maybe some of you should learn a little bit more about baseball (or any other sport you don’t know about) before making statements that are so outrageously wrong 😂

That’s a wild generalisation of English schools. Boys AND Girls played a mixture of Football/Soccer, Rounders, Athletics, Badminton, and even Trampolining. The only difference was at GCSE level (High School to US folks), was that boys had more of an emphasis on Football/Soccer and girls on Netball I truly believe different schools or at least segmented into local council areas where schools are located had particular curriculums that differ from other areas

In baseball yous get three strike. In cricket just one. A cricket ball changes trajectory in the midair from right to left or left to right. A cricket ball comes toward you with high bounce, another with very low bounce. It’s obviously way harder. You accept the ball to come fast but when you swing your bat you see it came slow. Then there are things like yourker.

This was a fun video, but the comparative complexities of baseball and cricket aren't defined only by which ball is the harder to hit. The shape of the field/pitch, whether or not there are foul lines, the lengths of the game in playing time, and the fact that only the "catcher" in cricket has gloves, are among other significant factors.

Mate... a couple of things to consider when you compare the sports. Firstly a cricket ball is 156 grams...not sure what your baseball is but consider a handgrenade being hit at you. Now you will notice the seam on the ball..those 6 lines...they will have a huge impact on what the ball will do in the air and after it pitches...ie..bounces. We use the same ball so it's properties will change as it gets older. Then because the ball pitches..the pitch itself impacts the game..different cities have different properties in the pitch and then cricket is played all over the world.. Pitches are drastically different as are things like field dimensions.. i could go on. Now you mentioned the strike rate of a batter in baseball. In cricket you bat until you get out. So in test cricket which may last 5 days..a batter in form may be batting for 10 hours. In that time he faces fast bowling..swing bowling..bouncers at the head or yorkers at the toes. Medium pacers who have tricks and then finally the spinners.. go look up Shane Warne.. And if the batter makes one mistake he's out. Cricketers also need to be excellent fielders and many can both bat and bowl. In the short form of the game..like T20s a batsman's strike rate could average 150 plus..so he hits 150 runs per 100 balls... But the same issues still exists but it's faster...the ball gets old..the pitch can change midgame..the field dimensions change depending which end you are batting from...remember batters change ends. Finally..when that baseball player said just watch the ball off the pitch and react...he couldn't be more wrong. You watch the ball in the bowler's runup and never lose sight of it. I hope this has given you some insights which you don't get in best of videos.

So he predicts where the ball will be, and makes the adjustment. So in the indoor arena, with the bowler not varying his length, using swing, spin or cutter. Not one yorker was bowled, a bowl bouncing at about the batsmen toes. Many of the shots played were through the air and would of headed directly to where the fielders' were placed. if you want a proper test, use a decent cricket batsman, a baseball hitter and a few different pitchers and bowlers, with fieldsmen.

The amusing thing is cricket is a gentleman's game, not a muscle game, like many US sports.. If he keeps slogging over the bowlers head, the fielding captain will simply load that area with catchers.... First non home run and he's out. What is required is the batting ability to nick or prod the ball into areas where there are no fielders..

There's a story about how, when a certain Australian cricketer who was playing at Test level (which is the highest form of international cricket, for those who don't know) was visiting the US he was invited to swing a baseball bat at balls being pitched at him by Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth threw his fastest ball at him, and it was hit out of the park, again and again. When asked how he was doing it, the cricketer said that he could pretty much do it all day if Ruth kept bowling full tosses at him. Of course, said cricketer was none other than Don Bradman.

First point: It is completely illegal to THROW the ball at the batsman in cricket. A bowler is not allowed to THROW the ball when bowling! The definition of a throw is a an arm that begins bent at the elbow and then straightens, to impart force on the ball at release. Try it! in cricket the arm must either; start straight and remain straight throughout the arm swing before release, OR; start bent and remain bent thought the arm swing before release.

Visual "accommodation" is obviously essential in cricket (and baseball) but the surface the ball bounces on doesn't always start with a consistent bounce or consistent lateral movement, let alone retain it as the surface (and the ball) degenerates with wear during a game. The fact is they are two different games requiring different skill sets and thought processes.
