Reason to upload the video: make a bond between cricket and baseball fans.

We need more cricket and baseball interactions like these to introduce other parts of the world to cricket.

Cricket is not about smashing the ball in air.... It's about class...

I'm a cricket fanatic from Australia but when I was in the USA/Canada I became obsessed with baseball, two great sports!

Baseball fan of nearly 32 years, I know nothing about cricket but I’m fascinated with these mash ups! Need more of these, please.

So cool to see our modern cricketers doing this sort of stuff. Would love to see some top baseball players face Jimmy Anderson on a hard wicket swinging like a banana at Lords.

The baseball and cricket players seem to get along well but the fans are having trouble. Stop arguing which game is better and just enjoy.

Full Toss & No balls That's baseball

I have a lot of american followers on twitter, it's really hard to explain cricket to them tho!

Cricket and baseball are two great sports. Both have those stomach churning moments of tension that we all love.

I've got an image of Geoffrey Boycott playing a perfect forward defensive with a baseball bat.

The cricket fan's misconception of baseball is that every pitch is just a full toss, but there's a hell of a lot of variation in a good pitcher's delivery. Pace, spin, height and flight all wrapped up into an arsenal of different pitches.

The baseball fan's misconceptions about cricket are legion, but the biggest is that cricket is dainty and lacks intensity. The purest form of the game is also the hardest form of the game.

Some baseball 'tragics' think that baseball is the most complex sport in terms of rules, stats and strategy. But it honestly doesn't come close to the five day game in terms of intricacy.
