American reacts to: Is Cricket harder than Baseball??

Love to see this guy up against Mitch Starc in full flight. 145km/hr, swinging, then moving off the seam. Good luck with that.

So the bowler had no run up and bowled at about 10mph. He may as well have been bowled at underarm. Talk about skewing the experiment.

The cricketer isn't even a professional player. Crazy test.

When the cricket ball swings and turns and yorks...the fun begins. 😁

In one corner you have one of MLB'S rising star homerun hitters.... ...in the other corner, some US Cricketer no-one has ever heard of outside of the US. Clearly a bowler that relies on spin, and not pace, as evidenced by the lack of protection for the batter. Two completely different sports deliberately skewed in favour of baseball for an audience of 'America's Pastime' fans. Comments from a Cricket fan AND a baseball coach of almost 30 years.

"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!

He didn't bowl in 90mph he bowls 90kmph😂

Have we heard of him no.

I love that cricket is introduced as one of the most popular sports in the world and baseball is relegated to “America’s favourite pastime” 😂 😂 pretty much sums it up

i will bowl better than that cricket guy in video

In cricket,bowlers are NOT allowed to Throw the ball,which is what they do in base ball .

इस इंटरनेशनल क्रिकेटर से अच्छी बॉलिंग तो हमारी गली के लड़के कर लेते हैं 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It’s funny that they were bragging about a 70% hit rate! If a pro cricketer only hit the ball 70% of the time he/she would be looking for a new career! I wonder if he’d maintain 70% over a 5 day test match! 😂

Terrible example of cricket bowling for so many reasons.. take your eye off the ball... tell me has anyone ever been told in cricket to take their eye off the ball? Ever???

I seem to remember a baseball player just stands and swings. A cricketer has to guard the stumps, deal with a faster unpredictable ball, be careful he doesn't break other rules like lbw. No comparison

What a joke cricket bowler is a spin bowler but can't even spin am not a professional cricketer but i can bowl faster than him with good lines lol

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.

No baseball is equivalent to rounders

Baseball has only one swing,but cricket has many shots

English sports are popular all around the world. American sports are popular in err, America.
