An English guy I work with calls Baseball players "whimps" for needing a glove. He basically says Cricket players are doing the same thing, and throw as hard between bases, etc. with no glove, and they use a harder ball. Can anyone give me a serious answer about this?

Every game has a different rule. Why in American football players wear helmet and in rugby they didn't wear it.

wot u need to remember is that cricket is the gentlemen's game ... i.e. it has got codes and conduct ...
e.g. if a batsman asks for a runner, he runner would b required to wear the full gear i.e. pads, gloves, guard, helmet so that he does'nt get any advantage ...
fielders in cricket r not allowed to wear any gloves ... thats the code ... just like u cant handled the ball if u r a batsman ...
baseball is a yank game ... and jus like in their society, they hav got no discipline at alll ... dnt lose ur sleep over it ...

According to a recent study, Christians are more addicted to football. So there are no Christian players in Indian Cricket Team.

Americans devise games where you need to buy equipment, it allows wealthy kids to feel smug and superior. In the UK it's the game that counts, not the merchandise.

it will be hard to pickup and throw the ball for the fielders if they start wearing gloves...
