For Indian Cricket to improve learn from US Baseball

I dont know that because it has not been tried.

Similary we have not tried 60 yard dash. That is not even a stat in cricket . Do you see 22 yard dash stat?

[vvvslaxman]

Lot of rules have be rewritten to protect the safety of players in cricket. But for such restriction it would have been a far more intimidating and dangerous game. Despite guys being in plain white clothes it is a nasty game where you can get killed. Sure they may not run 100 meter in 9.83 seconds. West INdies cricketers can easily outrun anybody in MLB.. Even a part time cricketer can outrun them.. for example this guy :cantstop: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WHCeXdYxZc]Blake's six damage car at cricket match - YouTube[/ame]

I can ask the same question why batsman wear pads but it is all for player safety.

Because gets to you under a second? With catching you get plenty of time to catch. Also in cricket within rules you can kill a batsman. In baseball you have to break the law. There is no concept of yorkers in baseball. There is no concept of bouncers.. Then pitch contributes a lot. Sometimes ball won't climb , sometimes it will. Those external factors are not coming into play in baseball. There is so much unpredictability in cricket.

Still there is no such stat in cricket. Frankly it would be a laughable state for anyone who knows about cricket. Guys like Dhoni, Raina, Kohli are as fast as anyone out there.

Btw.. if the ball is so dangerous why are they not wearing pads but wearing gloves?

There reflexes are good so they can avoid the balls hitting their bodies, gloves in hand means they have to catch everything.

a stupid thread. the only thing cricketers can learn from baseball is throwing.

Let the baseball player face Johnson without protective gear. THen talk :cantstop:

[vvvslaxman]

There reflexes are good so they can avoid the balls hitting their bodies' date=' gloves in hand means they have to catch everything.[/quote'] Let them do that in cricket without pads and helmet . Then you can talk. IN cricket hitting a batsman is legal. In baseball it is illegal. Let them make it legal. Let them survive a bouncer from Vinay kumar first before surviving against Johnson.

[sillymidoff]

Person A hits a ball 150 m with a surface area less than 2 sq in Person B hits a ball 100 m with a surface area of 160 sq in. Who has the better reflex?

Dont be disingeneous. *some* baseball pitches can be ruled a no-ball. Not all pitches would be a no-ball in cricket's context. Take a look at this picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Strike_zone_en.JPG As you can see, the majority of the strike zone in MLB is below a batter's hip, so its not a no-ball, since full tosses are no-balls only if they are above hip height. Cricket is definitely more brutal in baseball, in cricket you are allowed to target a batsman's head, period. Whether the ball bounces or not is irrelevant, it is an assault to the head. In baseball, by default that is illegal.

Err no, the pitch does not take 40% of the pace off. You are simply pulling numbers out of your buttocks.
