all cricketer can play better baseball than real baseball playes? do you agree.?

Question

If you ever see how afridi hit all balls out of ground - with that rate he can hit homeRUN every time he come on field.

Answer 1

Do cricket pitcher's reach 100mph when they throw?

Answer 2

Disagree in a big way. We've had two former cricket players play on our softball team in the past. While both could hit it a mile (when they made contact) the cricket uppercut doesn't translate very well to the ball coming in waist high. Additionally, on defense they have trouble with the use of a glove and transferring the ball over to throw. Because they use bare hands in cricket, they tend to use their dominant hand to both catch and throw.

Now, I've never played cricket and the hitting WOULD be difficult at first, but once you get the rules down, I think baseball to cricket would be the easier transition.

Answer 3

The object on the defensive side in cricket is to hit the pin off the sticks and the offensive is to prevent them from hitting it off. So I can hit the ball and still have a turn in cricket. In baseball the object on offense is to hit the ball in fair ground and move the runner 4 bases. The defensive side is to prevent the offense from moving. Therefore, your best hitter maybe able to hit a ball that bounces but couldn’t hit a 90 mph fastball followed by a 60 mph knuckleball then a 80 mph curve.

Answer 4

I don't know anything about cricket but isn't the ball hit on a bouce? I remember an interesting story about Babe Ruth seeing a cricket match, he may have been visiting England. The story goes that the Cricketers said to Ruth that he must not be used to seeing a very fast pitch. Ruth was so surprised he make them repeat the statement and said that he should have told them about Walter Johnson. Then they said that they should give him a cricket bat because the cricket bat never broke. Ruth then hit two cricket pitches, the first ball reportedly went where no one had ever before and on the second pitch Ruth broke the bat.

Answer 5

thou cricket is a challenging sport hitting a baseball at a consistent rate is the hardest thing to do in sports. if you hit a baseball 3 out of every 10 times you are told be a great player. if you make 3 out of 10 baskets or complete 3 out of 10 passes you are garbage, but not in baseball. and the ball in cricket is rollilng along the ground and there are picthers who can throw a fastball 105 mph from 60 feet away you have like .0123 seconds to decide to swing at the ball or not. so in no way can success in cricket translate to success in baseball.

Answer 6

No not really, they play cricket, not baseball. Hitting a baseball is much harder than hitting a ball in cricket, so shut up, and don't ever mention cricket here ever again.

Answer 7

I do not agree Ted Willams once said the hardest thing in sports to do is hit a little white ball with a bat. Cricket is played with a flat bat. not a round one giving it more surface area to strike the ball.

Answer 8

The main diff between cricket and baseball is that queers play cricket. It is for thumb suckers and homos. The best cricket player in the world....no the universe, could have not made my high school baseball team as the jock strap washer. I agree with the first guy never talk about this again.

Thanks

Answer 9

they're two different games with similarities. Cricket bats are flat vs. round bats of baseball. Cricket matches score hundreds of runs but does so in a totally different manner. Different strategies and skills are needed for each game, so I respectfully disagree with you.

Answer 10

Nope. Major league baseball salaries are much, much higher than any cricketer earns. If your assertion were true, there would be "a lot" of cricketers changing sports instead of "none".

Answer 11

you're kidding, right?

cricket players couldn't hit a baseball even if it were on a tee stand!
