There is little if any difference in the speed of the ball, Pete. I have
played both sports. Also the batsmen can and do hit the ball into the next
park at times. We call it a six, you call it a home run! NO difference in
the distance hit but if it does not clear the boundary the fieldsman can
catch it with bare hands and they do! Not very easy to hit a cricket ball.
It bounces before reaching the batsman and the path it takes then is not
predictable.
Brett Lee is a bowler in cricket who bowls at over 90 mph. That is much
the same speed as the pitcher in baseball.The fieldsmen in the slips catch
that ball barehanded if it is nicked by the batsman. They don't wear
gloves.
Hey Pete! Canada puts a cricket team in the world cup along with India,
Pakistan, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, South Africa, West Indies, Ireland
Australian, New Zealand, England, Sri Lanka, Holland, and until the last
one the USA (Yes! Black and over 40 all of them! Probably from the West
Indies originally).
I play lawn bowls these days. The ball travels much slower!!
Cheers,
Bob VK6BE. (whose dog is in love with the bitch down the street and spent
half the night singing to her at the top of his soprano voice which is why
I am typing this early in the morning! Too early!)
