Cricket deliveries are similar speeds to baseball pitches, aren't they?
Also, outs are cheap in baseball, but very expensive in cricket - so playing more conservatively is optimal.
- abritinthebay 8y agoYes - 95-100mph is very common in fast bowlers. Also the bounce gives a much larger variety of angles and spins. Plus the ball is a LOT harder. A lot.
- cup-of-tea 8y agoThe quality of the ball also becomes very important later in the game. I don't think baseball/rounders has the New Ball aspect.
- abritinthebay 8y agoIf I remember my baseball enough (I'm a casual fan) they rotate the balls regularly in baseball to actually specifically avoid that factor.
- shaklee3 8y agoAnd the bat is a LOT bigger. A lot.
- abritinthebay 8y agoOh absolutely, but the game is very very different in so many ways.
