which pic?
 
Personally, I think even though a Cricket game can last about five months....And self respecting baseball player could hang with a Cricket player...Any place any time.

BUT....A cricket player would cry like Britney Spears being hauled away from the laughing academy in the backseat of Dr.Phils car if they slid into second and tore those cute trousers they wear:ninja

I'd love to see a basball player hit a cricket ball bouncing off the ground at 95mph.

Have you ever hit one in mid-air?

Because I have, I have also taken countless hit's by baseball's, it's not fun.

But you cannot convince me that learning to hit a ball coming off the ground, takes anymore skill than hitting one belt high. That's basically a dead heat.

Yes. See the bowler in a cricket game can place the ball anywhere. Bouncing off the ground, then moving in any directon as it deflects of the seem. It could bounce straight into your nuts, guts, or head. Or the bowler could bowl it straight onto your toes. Or he could do what's known as a full toss and deliver it straight to your chest on the full.

It's much harder to hit a cricket ball than a baseball.

Also. You guys wear mits! MITS! We catch the ball bear-handed!! Come on now!
