haven't played much baseball?
A little bit - enough to know it's a lot harder to play cricket well than baseball. For one thing, if you get hit by a pitch in baseball they reward you with a free base. If you get hit by a ball in cricket you get to dust yourself off and be intimidated, because the next ball is going to be even faster. And the bounce that helpfully takes a few MPH off - taking it down from the raw speed of a baseball pitch - causes the ball to deviate in unexpected and unpredictable ways, making judgement calls even finer.
Cricket, with its dizzying variations in bowling styles and paces - spin, swing, seam - is very different from baseball, in which the only really unique pitchers seem to be knuckleball pitchers, who are dying out it seems. And as the game wears on, the initial conditions are always changing. The weather. The pitch. The condition of the ball. Each over brings different challenges, a different dynamic between bowler and batsman. The variety of unique situations possible in any given baseball game seems far more limited.
As a batsman, you have the option of hitting the ball anywhere, and the fielders have the freedom to move basically anywhere they want. This is far more interesting than baseball, where very similar players stand in very similar positions and the batter hits in, what, a 100 degree forward arc the whole time?
Plus empirically the greatest sportsman of modern times was a cricketer, so suck it up, other sports! In conclusion, then: cricket yay, baseball zzzzz. I commend the motion to the House.
