How badly would a Major League Baseball player dominate in cricket?

[BodiesInFlight]

You don't think that the great baseball hitters (who excel at hitting a small, fast-moving round ball with a round bat) can hit a bigger, slower ball with a flat bat that has more contact area?

Cricket balls are smaller and faster than baseballs.

Cricket might look a bit silly from the outside but batting against a spin or fast bowler is ridiculously hard to hit.

But really, it's two completely different sports.

america.



mark reynolds took a hot scolding crap all over cricket.

reading all the commentary from all those butt-hurt across-the-ponders is HILARIOUS!

all it takes is a modicum amount of analytical intelligence and an ounce of honesty to see baseball is clearly the most difficult sport to play with the more superior athlete. and yes, what you just posted are two huge points for baseball over cricket.

hitting a baseball thrown by a professional mlb player is one of the hardest things to do in sports.

is your implication that the browner sucked on purpose??

Is that why no one ever actually hits a baseball? Have you ever tried watching that ****? Strike, strike, strike, yawn....

It's that he sucks.

Why is there so much hate for the cricket guys? SterlingArcher have you even played cricket? I mean look no offence but you can't say cricket isn't a sport but baseball is. I don't really know much about either but honestly saying baseball is a sport is like saying darts is a sport. Sure it might take some skill to hit the target but honestly how much physical effort is required to run from home to base 1, or from base 1 to base 2... I mean baseball players wear pants, shirts, jackets and hats!

but then so does mark reynolds, doe. he's never hit over .300 and his best year when he hit 40+ homers was back in like 09 or 08.

baseball > cricket in every aspect, i repeat, every aspect.

shut up, bro. like someone said, hitting a 90+ mph ball is like the hardest thing to do in sports.

ive played both sports.

baseball is infinitely harder and infinitely more fun to play. baseball is boring to watch but highly addicting to play.

this is a stupid argument.

this is not even a pro america nationalistic thing.

this is common sense.

it is harder to play baseball than cricket. baseball players produce bigger, stronger, faster, better athletes than cricket.

there is no argument. its just physical athletic facts.

this is not hate for cricket. this is hate for dishonest posters who want to post dishonest things.

Yeah I just watched that video you posted. Hmmm, some of those "butt-hurt across-the-ponders". What if they made the video in say South Africa? And they used one of the best South African cricket players against their "all arounder" South African national baseball team players? Do you think the video would have gone the same way?
