Nine Reasons Why Baseball is Superior to Cricket
I have a brother-in-law from England
Here are the top 9 reasons why baseball is superior to cricket:
9) The terms“Cricketers” and “Batsman” just sound funny.
8) Real men bend their elbow when they throw and don’t need the ground to change the direction of the ball. Tim Wakefield can make a baseball change directions in the air – baseball players are like magicians!
7) A baseball game isusually about 3 hours – that seems normal. A cricket match can last anywhere between 6 hours and 5 days (yes, that’s days).I don’t know about you, but my butt would get numb in those bleachers. On the flip side, at least I would be some good sleep.
6) A “bowler” should be someone that drinks beer, smokes, cusses loudly, and screams “over the line”!
5) Anyone can tap a ball with a paddle with an absurdly large surface area. Try hitting one with a small, cylindrical bat.
4) Even at an older age, Nolan Ryan could still beat up any cricketer that ever lived. By the way, I think Robin Ventura grew up playing cricket.
3) In baseball, a pitcher doesn’t need a running start.
2) Baseball players drink water/Gatorade, eat sunflower seeds, and chew tobacco DURING a game. Cricketers TAKE A BREAK in the middle of a game to drink tea and eat crumpets.
1) The uniform of a cricketer is ridiculous. V-neck sweater vests and polo shirts with neatly creased shorts….really?

I wanted to say that it’s nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks.

you don't know what cricket is and how it is played.
9. u dont know the importance of the words
8.if magicians are playing baseball, then they are not players. but cricketers are players not magicians!
7.if u get ur butt numb in 6 hrs, thats ur stamina, so compare baseball players stamina with cricketers stamina.
6.if u boose, smoke and do all the stuff on the pitch, then its not gentleman's game,its something else!
5.anyone can tap the ball with paddle, thats why cricket is worlds best sport!
4.it doesnt mean that 50yr old cant play cricket, it says that they dont have enough stamina and body fitness to play it.
3.in cricket they need a running start!
2.drinking water not better than drinking tea.
1. dressing white and white doesnt mean that it is rediculous....that formal and respecting the game....not like baseball coming in tracks to play the game.!!!
thankyou
