[@MrAwesomeSaucem]

@@mr.scientist1469 I am a huge baseball fan currently learning about cricket so we’re probably feeling the same way 😂 It seems like they are based around similar basic principles, however they are organized differently. Baseball and cricket are quite different, however more similar to each other than to other sports from what I can tell. At the very least, they both have a player throwing a ball to a batter, who tries to hit it hard and accurately. They both give points to the batting team for hitting it outside of the field (pitch). In both sports, the batter is “out” if the opposing teams player catches the ball, and it becomes the next batters turn. The wickets always confused me, but I think it is pretty much the same idea as in baseball - the batting player must get to their destination (wicket or base) before the ball does or they are out, in short. I’m from the u.s., and after watching a few videos on cricket I already understand it better than I do American football because of the similarities! This is by far my longest comment ever, I just am fascinated by cricket and enjoy someone in the same boat as me but with baseball. Let me know if anything I said was incorrect!

@@MrAwesomeSaucem Yeah bro you have a good understanding of cricket. One of the goals of batsman in cricket is to save the wickets by using bat, they can't use there body which is similar to three strikes in baseball I guess.
