Midfielder Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Got to say shortbread has this one. Sorry Missfielder I think its time you retire from this one. Follow Nball and retire peacefully and gracefully. Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk Shortbread is hot air. Whether he likes it or not things are moving from baseball to cricket it depends who does those first. Throw from outfield - from baseball. Batsman new stances from baseball. Multiple coaches from baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midfielder Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Baseball may be difficult to hit because of speed & smaller surface of bats but that's why they miss 75% of times on an aggregate. So what's the big deal. Not like they have super reflexes & hit everything. They hit quiet a bit. Problem is they have only a 90 degree arc to hit into whereas cricket has all 360 degrees. Compound that with less than 2 sq in area to hit with compared to 160 sq in and the task is daunting. Hitting a round ball with a rounded object is the hardest thing to do.

Midfielder Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Baseball: 2 variables in a ball, Speed and movement in the air. Cricket: 3 variables, Speed, movement in the air and movement of the pitch....3 you see, more of a challenge for a batsman. Things cricket batsmen have to deal with that baseball players don't and cannot: SPIN Types of Pitches: BOUNCY tracks, TURNING ones etc... BOUNCE SEAM movement Change in LINE & LENGTH Beyond this they need to pierce a ground with 11 fielders, for which they need timing and placement. A cricket batsman has to focus on temperament, hand/eye co-ordination, technique and timing. Hitting a baseball is lot easier. Its a full toss and the faster they come the quicker it disappears!! A baseball pitcher varies his pace and swing, all his variations are dependent on only these 2 factors. BUT the lengths do not change, line does not, pitch doesn't matter etc...etc.... A cricket ball swings in the air, the swing varies as the ball gets older, then there's reverse swing!!! A baseball does not age like a cricket ball, especially since a ball does not have a defined seam and it does not get used for 200-250 odd deliveries!!! Fluid dynamics.....bollocks......most of those hispanics havent been to school let alone understand fluid dynamics. Its a skill you fool....they don't teach this in school!! If you played cricket you would understand this....BUT YOU HAVENT!!! And if you claim you did, then you're lying or you would have known this rather than me having to drill this into ur thick skull. (1) Cricket ball comes at you slow, it maybe at 95 mph but when it hit the ground it slows quiet a bit. You get more time to react. (2) On baseball there is only drag acting when pitched which barely slows down by 10% when it reaches batter. Cricket ball has drag, imparts energy to ground and then gravity acting against it. Cricket balls may slow down as much as 40% when reaching batsman. (3) Slowdown means lot of reaction time. If anything ground helps the batsman. (4) Cricket ball cannot have the same movement in air as a baseball. Cricket ball has one seam which forces the bowl to deviate to left or right. Baseball has a eight seam and it can do a corkscrew motion and you have to handle all that at warp speed. Cricket ball based on laws of physics cannot do corkscrew. Please grow up.

They certainly dont have significantly better reflexes than cricketers who have to deal with same kinds of speeds. Also they have questionable fitness.

vvvslaxman Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 So can baseball. If you ever see a fight in baseball game it is because of hit to body. There is no way baseball will be so off target that he will hit anyone's head. But in cricket you can intimidate batsman like baseball can never do.

In baseball it is not a surprise.. You know the trajectory well in advance. But in cricket you won't know if the ball suddenly rears off from a good length. Not just head. They can crush your toe. They can hit your box by suddenly jagging the ball back. They can hurt your chest. Whole idea of bodyline series was that only right? In baseball no matter what you do it is still a full toss. Besides cricket ball is heavier. Receiving distance from bowler is slightly less in cricket. It will be even less if the batsman dances down the wicket. Tendulkar practiced from 15 yards before touring Australia. I am surprised you believe baseball is more dangerous than cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
