Tim This is a very shortsighted article. From one cricket fan to the next. 3/23/2009
Michael Wow, please do a little more research on baseball. 7/17/2008
David Essentially you are comparing two sports that share very little in common other than the fact that they are tradtionally referred to as "safe haven" games. A batsman can be "safe" or "out" depending on is location on the field and its relationship with the ball. Most importantly, Cricket and Baseball both operate on vastly different perceptions of time. By this I mean that the concept of pressure is built up differently in each sport. Pressure ebbs and flows throughout a cricket Test Match (and somewhat in a ODI) Pressure in a baseball match accumulates with each ball a batter faces, the number of outs in the inning and with each subsequent inning until over at nine. Cricketers and Ballplayers deal with their match pressures differently, have completely goals/objectives and have such a non-parrallel conception of time/pressure that declaring one inferior to the other or declaring one particpants skill set/ artistry to be more supreme... reeks of ignorance. 4/7/2008
g. ame but what about the dynamic of having men on base in baseball, how that effects the hitter, the pitcher... a little thing .. or things called defense, baserunning, basestealing... does a bowler have any of this to worry about? 3/16/2008

Ernest Adams The ball does NOT have to be bowled waist-high to the batter in baseball. It can be pitched at any height between the shoulders and the armpits. 1/6/2005
