Foxtrot Elite I guess cricket is far more difficult game........ bt as far as catches are concerned baseball catches r difficult because they us only 1 hand that to d wrong hand......
Praveen Murthy not really cricketers don't have a glove and the ball is really hard it slaps your hand and stings it from really high and if you catch it wrong it can break your fingers
You can't cross the boundary while catching the ball in cricket. In cricket,players caught the ball, threw it inside the boundary as they knew their inertia would drive them out of the boundary, stepped back again inside the boundary and caught the ball which was still in air. This was a matter of 1.5 seconds. #Respect
You can't fall over the fair outfield wall in baseball, otherwise the hitter still scores a HR(or if the ball bounces off the player, and it goes over the fence, it's a HR)
Matt Wallace bro with large grounds, swing and spin in ball and high scoring matches it is not easy to play cricket. Just try once you'll get to know. In baseball you pitch the ball in air which is known as full toss in cricket and considered as easiest ball to hit. But you don't get that type of ball in cricket. A bowler in cricket hit the ball on the ground and from there the ball changes it's direction as per it's spin or swing with the speed above 150kph. I'm not saying baseball is an easy sport. Both baseball and cricket are special in their areas. Cricket however has class. It is gentleman's game and requires a lot of mind game, planning and strategy. Only mature people can love and appreciate cricket.
Abraham Brown - 20+ hrs is only for TEST cricket where they test the teams durability by making them play until all players are out whereas ODIs and t20s last much shorter and are limited to a certain number of bowls (pitches in your language) but alas even in those 20 hrs there's so much more action/minute compared to baseball because batters have to score hundreds of runs (points in your language)
We call them runs in baseball. Not points. And honestly I don't care how much action is going on 20 hours is about 17 hours too long for a game to last. You can't really make that part sound good
Plus I don't think high scores are indicative of an action packed exciting game. So just cause one sport has higher score doesn't mean it's better. You need a competitive balance between offense and defense.
Yeah, I'm not in the business of wasting any of my precious effort in trying to make YOU care about anything as I don't know you and don't give a flying fuck about you. 20hrs of nonstop action was just me putting into perspective how comparative the action is between the two sports, whether you're personally interested in watching a monotonous 3hr game of baseball or an action packed 20hr long cricket game is your business.
+Sourav Bagchi uhhh... maybe you think that because you haven't seen come backers and balls pulled hard to the third baseman. Baseball is known as a game of inches where just the slightest bit of hesitation means the runner gets an infield hit instead of a groundout, the runner nabs second base, or the ball falls in for a bloop single instead of a flyout.
lewiszim In Baseball players don't stand near the hitter. But in Cricket some skilled fielders stand very close to the batsman and they take some outstanding catches
+Sourav Bagchi Not to mention the ball can easily top 150 kmph+ in the situations where batsman times the ball correctly and fielder is standing near by him. Cricket catches look easy because of potato record quality videos they are shown in, catching bare handed at those speeds is the reason why so many fielders get their fingers injured or broken in cricket. No one has the privilege of gloves other than wicket-keeper in cricket.
+Sourav Bagchi but reaction time doesn't only mean being able to catch a ball, in baseball you have to know where to throw the ball , and a tiny bit of hesitation could give up a play. Reflex has different aspects to it.
@Evan Peluso well u can check these field position I'm cricket called point, silly mid off, silly mid on, gully. Now a cricket ball is a red rock PLUS speed off bats are as high as 180kmph. So baseball catches will NEVER be harder than cricket even if cricketer wore gloves.
@@Thanos-hp1mw yes they can get up too 180 but not as often as baseball where the ball is moving fast constant in both directions. tbh cricket makes absolutely no sense and has no real athletes you can literally go days without deciding a winner..
@@jtl9945 baseball makes no sense at all. Pitchers are always winning. And cricket had THREE FORMATS. T20 is breath takingly awesome. You are still under. A rock to think about cricket as test cricket only.
not true, when it goes up and come down speed will be same for both cricket and baseball ball only the cricket ball is heavier. also in cricket the ball might come straight to your balls if u are Fielding close with explosive speed and you have only your bare hand to catch it :)
@@kuiper921 that is the truth ,,, never followed baseball but have to say some of those catches were extra ordinarily crazy ,, especially the ones where a player runs back and dives to catch them behind their heads
I'd like to see Cricket in the Olympics just because it's a sport I never hear about living in the US, but I think it would be fun to play since I love baseball.
Cricket is played in 3 formats. In shortest of them game lasts for 3.5 hours. In another one game lasts for 9-10 hours and in the longest one single game is played for 5 days.
One difference between Baseball and Cricket that I really like is that it's easier to get an out in Baseball but hard to gain runs, while it's easier to gain runs in Cricket but really hard to get an out.
@@tz3925 that's because you get only 1 chance in 1match but I think in baseball you get something like 8-9chances (pardon me if I'm wrong, I don't know clearly)
Baseball : Hey cricket, i find it difficult to hit a ball give be full toss Cricket : No you will not get full toss it is easy to hit the ball Baseball : okay i will play my own Cricket Cricket : yeah, get the fuck out of here
Baseball is like playing cricket with Tennis balls. A professional baseball player will cry for ice every time he tries to catch a cricket ball( no gloves allowed, sorry)
No, they won't. Cricket players are wimpy enough to wear armor when they bat. When baseball players get hit, they simply drop their bat and walk to 1st base. They do this even though there is a hard corked ball hitting them in the shin at 100 mph.
Y'all need to stop being ignorant. Baseball was traditionally played without gloves and it still is. These people are playing for millions and millions of dollars and are ultra competitive so they need everything they can put their hands on.
+Areesh Adnan Occasionaly in baseball, balls get hit DIRECTLY toward someone's face, someone far closer than most of these cricket players, and the catch it easily. Sometimes without the glove. Pure reation time. I lied about occasionally.
+MopHeDD sorry, what?!? I love baseball so much, more than cricket..... But I'm sorry, you are wrong. There are reflex catches by the bowler only about 15 ft from the batsman (after his follow through) as opposed to a pitcher taking a catch with glove from a pretty static position some 55ft from the plate. Also, you obviously have never seen slip fielder catches! Again much closer than the 90 ft to third. Not your fault thoug, there aren't any slip catches in this video. In conclusion, sorry but cricketers catch better, bearing in mind reaction time and lack of glove.
@@insertcolorherehawk3761 wind direction and humidity is also part of cricket....but in cricket the ball swings in air ,and also change direction on pitch !
@@SunilSharma-jj1ch You don't see cricket balls take a massive spinning ground bounce off the bat to screw the fielders (ruclips.net/video/-Qpm209MyEM/видео.html what half of these end up being, read the first comment for a good quarter of them) Baseball has weird aerial swing though(Jordan Hicks and the 105mph -Slider-, the menace of the knuckleball, the godawful pain of facing submarine pitchers)
@@insertcolorherehawk3761 Balling in Cricket depends on everything, from pitch conditions, humidity, air flow, rotation of the ball, how you hold the ball and how you rotate your wrist while throwing, you need to predict where the ball goes after bouncing from the pitch. Spin ball is a good example, it literally depends on air flow and pitch conditions, the batsman has no idea where the ball will go after bouncing from the pitch, these bowlings are slow, mostly 70-80 kmph, but really really difficult to predict the direction. So cricket is definitely more complex and much tougher than Baseball. Pitching like baseball are full toss in Cricket, literally wet dreams for most batsmen.
-pitching requires much less skill and variation and bowling -in cricket you need at least 4 good bowlers in your side, in baseball you're only supposed to have one pitcher -baseball is a game of hit and run, no thinking required, cricket is a game of intense intelligence and skill. -baseball you only have to catch the bowl to dismiss a running batsman(that too with a glove), in cricket you have to dislodge the bails, meaning you have to think and act much quicker. -in cricket if u pass the boundary is a 4/6, in baseball if u pass the foul line or jump into the crowd with the ball in hand it's out -in baseball you wear GLOVES to catch, in cricket you have to catch with ur bare hands cricket is a much tougher sport, and a much more matured sport, don't compare it to a baby sport like baseball
in cricket too, a team usually uses 5 bowlers (all professionals OR 4 professionals and an extra). Every player may or may not bat depending upon the situation. Also however many times and however hard you get hit by the ball, you can't take rest until you're given OUT (stumping, caught-out, LBW, clean-bold, hit-wicket, run-out). If you're seriously injured, you're given "Retired-Hurt" and the team loses a player, i.e. strength reduces from 11 to 10 against rival full team of 11.
RUclips Only false about the 1 pitcher. Base ball has a "5 man rotation" which means for every 5 games, a different pitcher starts. Also, starters only do about 100 pitchers per game, so the relief pitchers come in, normally sometime after the seventh inning, and only throw 20 pitches each on average. In the 9th inning. They have a closer pitcher, so if a team is winning 3-2 in the 9th inning, they bring in the closer, whose job it to close out, or save the game. So in a normally game. They usually have 3-5 pitchers per game
Incorrect. A player who retires hurt is allowed to reenter the game after complying with the requirements of the rules. Look up Australian opening batsman Rick McCosker, Centenary Test 1977. A fielding team is allowed to use a substitute fielder for injured player.
From the point of someone who has played lots of cricket and not very much baseball at all, I have to say, I struggle to understand how there's is any argument about the difficulty of these catches. Bare hand, less time to think, flatter pitch (I mean the gradient at which the ball moves), closer to the batter (silly mid on/ slips). Cricket seems a much harder catch. That being said, that doesn't make either sport harder or better though.
@@Thanos-hp1mw Baseball replaces catching difficulty with throwing accuracy(run outs(force outs/tag outs) are more common in baseball due to the structure of the basepaths, but require hard and accurate throws, watch some first base scoops for some of the close calls that stop players from getting a hit)
@@insertcolorherehawk3761 Agreed, and to ignore the sheer speed and athleticism it takes baseball players to get to these balls a lot of the time is criminal. I mean just watch Bo Jackson play. Cricket fielders have to have great reflexes and the ability to take a physical toll on your hands, and baseball requires more overall speed and athleticism (especially for 3B and outfielders). Making a statement like "this sport is harder" is kinda dumb
If you're a cricket enthusiast and you're wondering why Baseball players wear gloves, it's because of a couple factors. For one, in a lot of cases in Baseball you have to not only catch but quickly throw the ball at an equally fast speed. If they didn't wear gloves, this would be stupidly difficult to the point that it'd be unlikely to happen. Outfielders catching the ball would have a harder time throwing the ball and putting pressure on runners and double plays would be unfeasible in most cases. The second reason is that in Baseball, there's a lot more catching. 27 outs are needed to win in Baseball whereas 10 dismissals are needed in Cricket. Besides the catcher, first Basemen who easily have to catch more than any other position in Baseball couldn't exist in their current capacity without a glove.
In cricket the fielders also have to throw the ball to the wicket as quickly as possible in the case of a NO ball. Your argument about 27 catches is really idiotic in single t20 game ( shortest format of cricket) in 1 innings a team has to play 120 bowls which means batsman can hit the ball 120 times and every time fielder has to stop that ball and throw it the wickets
@@mayanksingh8696 Yes, fielders have to throw in the case of a no ball, but you missed the point of my argument. In Cricket, you don't have plays where you catch the ball AND immediately need to rocket throw to a base. You'll either catch the ball and celebrate with no additional action required or you fail to catch it and need to throw it quickly. You aren't in a situation where you need to do both back to back. This is because in Cricket, you don't have runners that are acting independently of the batsman. In Baseball, you do and there are plenty of times where an outfielder for instance will have to catch the ball and quickly throw to prevent the runner from advancing. This isn't to suggest Baseball is harder or anything but rather to showcase the need of a glove. If Baseball players didn't have gloves, these quick one-to-one catch and throw plays I'm mentioning would virtually not exist. The hits would become more plentiful and the nuance of the running game would be lessened. Currently, runners need to be careful how much distance they cover while a ball is in the air, because if it's caught they have to retag the base they were at. Gloves make it so the ball is more likely to be caught and put a nice bit of precaution on runners to gauge the difficulty of a catch. Lastly, you misunderstood my 27 outs point. When you have to get 27 outs verses 10 and have more fielders relative to the distance that needs to be covered, fielders are naturally going to be put in situations where they have a more ideal position to catch. This adds problems though because if you're more likely to be in position to catch the ball and you have more outs to get, you'll be catching the ball more often. This adds a safety risk to fielders who are going to be catching far more balls in a single game. In a single game, the same fielder might wind up catching 6-8 hard hit balls. Cricket by comparison puts Cricket players in less of an ideal position to catch the ball, so they are less inclined to catch the ball frequently in a single game, and thus catching it barehanded is fine. In Cricket, if one cricket player is catching 6 fly balls then hot damn that's pretty unusual. See the difference? Baseball players are more likely to be in position to catch and have more outs to get, so they're catching more often and need protection so it can be done regularly. But if it's so uncommon for one player to be consistently catching in a single game of Cricket, there's less of a need for a glove. At best in Cricket, a single fielder will catch three balls if they're lucky.
@@UCHIHAMADARA-hx7eq it's not my opinion you twat it's Bradmans your crickets greatest player and fck your opinion too. Sht Cricket is actually for dimwits. Happy playing 😂
I am a cricket fan and cricket has great catches. Whether it is glove or bare handed those baseball fielders exhibited great athleticism. We have to appreciate that instead of talking about gloves.
Leon Chambers the most dangerous position in baseball is the pitcher. 105mph+ baseball can fly right at ur face and if u don’t catch it u have a good chance of death
The ball is made of a white cow hide that covers many layers of wool and a little rubber ball in the core. Stiches are added around the ball so pitchers can throw different pictches. The players wear gloves because the ball can get hit extremely hard by a batter. Speeds up to 120mph can be generated once a ball gets hit and heads towards the field of play. That being said, a glove is used to catch the ball bcuz it is very hard and goes very fast. If a cricket player was to catch a baseball hit by a MLB batter, their hand can get broken or bruised.
that 120 mph speed is seen in cricket too though not common...but forget that, y are they catching balls from the sky with gloves? even a kid could do that. i can understand if players standing close to the batsman are wearing gloves like the person sitting behind the batsman and the guy pitching...they mi8 need gloves to catch. but in the video most catches seem to be the ball coming from a great height in which case gloves should not be allowed as the ball would get no where near the 100mph. its cheating
i did some research and found since cricket is much much older than baseball, it was originally played without safety equipment and it has remained so. Baseball was invented when safety equipment like gloves were already present and thus rules were written accordingly. Same with American Football which requires padding but not rugby
+Sudipta Adhikary Ok bro but it makes sense to protect NFL players so they dnt get injured. NFL players get paid millions and are very talented so its smart to make sure they are healthy so they can play the whole 4 months. We aren't cavemen bro. Its called evolving. Stop living in the past.

@ 2:12 is Johnty's catch of Robert Croft in 99 CWC. Jump at point, barely touch the ball and toss it up in the air, turn 180 degrees midair and then catch it back on the ground. All done in close to half a second. Maybe to some it's too specific a memory, but it was featured heavily in the catches package during the entire worldcup. Then made the cut in EA's Cricket 2000 Intro video.
In base ball the player wears glove on one hand and it's ball is also light and cricket the ball is hard and they do not wear a glove so baseball is easy and cricket is hard so cricket is far better than baseball
I remember at cricket practice their was also baseball practice so at the end my coach said catch to a baseball player but then never mind your not wearing your gloves so I don't want you to break your hand! Lol.....

@@muluvadd7414 I'm suggesting there are children who drop the ball with a glove However, the glove isn't really for balls off the bat, it's more for the throws the infielders think are a good idea
Play both fairly and THEN make a judgement. If you've been playing Cricket/Baseball longer than the other, the chance is you'll have a bias, and a less justifiable reason to put your foot in and your 'right opinion' out there.
those who think catching a cricket ball is easy..buy one and try..that leather ball can break ribs and skull of a batsman if not played well and fingers of a fielder if there is no proper technique.its hard as rock..and there is a seam in between which is even hard and hurts more...there is a huge difference between catching with bare hands and with gloves....
@@rajdeepsharma9005 wi aussie and ind , they were average in those days but are now very good at fielding Pak,ban,nz,afg these teams have weaker fielding sets
From what I have seen I think baseball requires more stamina to run for catches, they need fast speed but Cricket requires both stamina and great reflex action for eg Fielder on slip and point. Also since cricket has boundries it requires awareness to catch a ball which is close to boundry but not in Baseball
Though if the ball bounces off of you and it goes out, it counts as a full boundary and not as a grounded boundary, and if you go over the wall with the ball, well, it's a home run
You really should have included more outfield catches in cricket, like the Kaif catch where he ran in from long on. Also,some of the baseball catches are really good but I was laughing when the commentator when crazy for a barehanded catch. Cricket fielders are like, yeah, nah, we do that every day, with a harder ball and much less reaction time.
These arguments are so biased... you don't know which sport is harder unless you have played both at the same relative level of competition. Although both sports involve a pitcher (bowler) and batter, both involve different deliveries, trajectories, and swings. Not to mention the rules and objectives are different.
by watching we can easily that baseball has no level in comparision to global sports like cricket....nothing to get biased....as everybody is free 2 use their sense

The baseball commentator said he took a bare handed catch😅😅😅😅😅😅 ....... Every outfield catch in cricket is bare handed . In school we were learned to catch before we start any other training..... Catches win matches
One has mastered the art of catching the ball with gloves, other has mastered the art of catching with bare hands, fair enough. Baseball ones have more flexibility and range tough due to the gloves, that’s why in some of the catches, their approach to the ball would be considered a mistake in cricket, but, they don’t need it due to the gloves. Cricket ones have a way to approach the ball and a way to catch it. I’ve played both cricket and baseball so, I can say that cricket catches are more on the technique side, whereas baseball is more on the instinct side. Also, the method where you pull your hands down while catching in cricket does not work in baseball because of the gloves. You have to catch with palms on the other side in baseball. Cricket teaches a very good way to approach the ball though.
Both Sports are amazing. I have tons of Indian friends that always show me cricket. (Those idiots are fucking annoying but I love them) But for me, I love baseball better. The bat is smaller, the batting lineup is not just about hitting the ball, it is about connecting to the next batter. Bunting, squeeze plays, sac bunt and millions of thing that you can do with bunting. Baserunning, stealing bases and more. Pitches, throwing hundreds of high speed pitches with perfect accuracy and break. A single pitch can determine the game, and getting a single point is hard as fuck. In Baseball, there is no such thing as ''Sure win", even a team full mo jacked up guys can lose to a bunch of kids. Baseball's rule is kind of complicated, but that's what make it cool.
What about the Aussies, Spring Bucks, Pommies, West Indies, Sri Lanka, Netherlands, Kiwis? We all play a bloody good game of cricket & rugby too, Mr I.Know one group I know the world!
Yes baseball has a million cool things and that too without having a bounced pitch. Now in cricket you can bounce the pitch meaning you can all the things that you have suggested and more. It's like baseball is a single variable linear equation while cricket is poly-variable poly-degree equation which can take as many values as possible. But I love baseball anime though. :D
1:17 , 1:32 & 5:38 is a clear example of the awareness of cricket players while fielding they ensures they are taking the catch inside the boundary line while in baseball it amuses me they not only have gloves but also have the leverage of completing the catch, going past the boundary lines . In cricket it would be SiX for the batting team , even if the fielder completes the catch going past boundary line. Hitting a six is as same as the impact of Homerun in baseball, guess you know what i meant. The amount of risks, awareness etc in cricket is enormous.
Cricket is older than baseball and it is original raw english sport. In the other part Baseball was not invented as original sport, but it was inspired by cricked and rounders and the man who did it took some things from cricket and rounders . the same thing happened with rugby and american football, where rugby is older

Baseball is a lot more popular. World Wide too vinoth s.. But just by looking at the plays it's pretty obvious which look harder. I make those cricket plays probably once a game at any position. The ball bounces when the pitcher throws the ball for cricket that's not much different than getting a ground ball and throing it to first. There may be some harder things in cricket but I do think that baseball is a lot harder then cricket. It also looks more fun than cricket maybe it's because there is more people or it's just a fun hard game to play
Base ball is hard? May be because of thr round bat. But once you face a 90 mph bowler who swings the ball vertically and horizontally things start looking different. And you just whacked your bat at the ball, you would get no runs. Most of the time a max of 10 or 12. There is a lot of technique involved, its not just hitting the ball. Tell me which is hard Once you face a bouncer - a ball racing over 60mph on directly on your face and with less than a second for you tp react. Baseball is popular, india's IPL alone has more viewers, leave aside the world cup.
Dude unreally need to learn more about cricket before making the judgement that " baseball is harder than cricket " seriously , i dont like the stereotypes but sometimes they r so true ,, Americans are seriously very ignorant to the things outside the US, American football is not even a ball , neither played with foot , still they call it football and call the real football "soccer" Cricket is a worldwide sport and not just a sport but religion in countries like england , australia , india etc... So plz have a thorough research about cricket before offending billions of cricket fans all over the world
Difference is a baseball player could become a great cricketer than a cricketer could ever play in MLB. Hence why baseball players make 35 million and cricketers make no where near that
It's true Babe Ruth just hit bowlers like every where when he tried cricket. He said with such broad flank it's way too easy. He lost interest and went back to baseball.
Cricket ball and baseball are made of the exact same materials. They wear gloves because it L’s not just for catching pop ups. They have to physically tag runners out who are sliding into them with metal and throw the ball as hard as they can to each other from close distances. In cricket all you do is jog down lightly grazed grounders or bend over and pick up a ball that has been tapped five feet. You don’t need a glove for that do you?
As I have gone through some baseball videos and understanding basic play rules(still I don't know the full dynamics of the game,as I haven't played it) ,I can say both cricket and baseball are great in their own way.....cricket is more of the BATSMAN and BOWLER dominated game ,,,,,,and baseball is FIELDER dominated game
Baseball catches look like Frisbee catch, the ball just goes straight up, the ground is so small, if it was cricket ground there will be hundreds sixes
The longest boundary in Cricket is the MCG's straight boundary, at 95m/302ft, the recommended short(corner) boundary in baseball is 98m/320ft(while 250 is legal, they will pretty much tell you to build a very massive wall(in play) to make it harder, see: The Green Monster at Fenway Park) with center field(straight) at 120m/400ft, most of the longer catches in Baseball would be sixes dozens of meters before the catch Average center field is 403.5ft-Longest: Minute Maid Park(435ft-133m) Average corner is 331.5ft-Longest: Wrigley Field(355ft-108m)
Correct me if I'm wrong which I probably am, but fielders in cricket throw the ball at the wicket also. In baseball they directly throw to another fielder. This means the baseball player would get so much more contact to hands. Without gloves their hands would be torn up
Mostly cricketers throw it to a fielder standing over the wicket and they don't wear gloves, with the exception of the wicket keeper who does because he has to catch just about every ball in the match
+Clutchbaconboy the wicket keeper has to wear the gloves because he is standing just behind the wicket and facing ball at very different angles, most of the time its anticpation based upon how the player moved his bat, i have seen people tear up the pulps of their as the ball sheared through the tips. The wicket keeper gloves are like made of stones lol at the finger tip, rest of the gloves is very thin
The trend in cricket for more than three decades has been to adopt the baseball technique of throwing from the outfield to a "cutoff" fielder. The technique was adopted by the Aussies who had various fielding coaches with baseball backgrounds. I believe Bobby Simpson was most responsible for this. Studies show this is quicker to throw flatter and faster over throwing one strenuous aerial effort. The cutoff fielder is more often than not directed to throw to the end most likely to catch a batter runner out of his ground. The employment of the baseball "crow-hop" has also vastly improved cricket fielding. If one thinks about it clearly, the use of gloves improves baseball fielders range and ability as often seen with good cricket wicket keepers.
Compared to baseball, only wicket keeper wears gloves and pads. Also some fielders stand really close to the batsmen. In cricket the fielder need to have good reflexes.
in cricket the bat is way heavier, you face bowlers that have speeds of 90-100mph and you have 0.2 millisecond to think and react and adjust everything to take the shot whereas is baseball is double. The ball is harder, heavier and has caused 114 deaths 84 of which are in international despite the halmet and the pads, the ball is so heavy with such a greater force that it requires impressive strength to even play it at 80mph forget 90. Also cricket bowling is about thinking, bouncers swing it or spin it or York it, what length, high or low, bouncers and players have to have there arm straight not even 1 degree bit bent. The pitch is way bigger and your baseball players may not be able to think and may smack but not far. The bat is heavy and reduces the swing time by 30% than that in base ball. The game requires thinking. The bowlers set the batsman up. The batsman have to decide quick. Its the second popular and hardest sport and dangerous.
1:45 - “takes a bare handed catch!!! OMG I’ve never seen that before!” - Clearly has never watched cricket 😂 Mind you, I love my baseball too, but it’s a much easier sport to learn and play...
First of all if there was gloves cricketers won't miss a catch.secondly in baseball the ball comes straight fast,no spin, no pace, no turn.no issue of pitch.so basically a blind shot with timing could hit the ball.but in cricket the ball will turn,spin and u can't judge the pace.so timing,hand eye coordination,placement,all matters.talking about the catches if boundary was an issue I am sure baseball players will get messed up.so ultimately cricket is way harder than baseball.it is the father of baseball
With a glove,cricketers would catch everything.
With no foul territory baseball players would get a hit every time.
if cricketers could catch past the boundary catches would be much easier
"With no foul territory baseball players would get a hit every time." You say? Well a single hit won't be enough for winning a game in cricket. :P
Cricketers can hit full tosses in any direction they want. It's literally considered criminal to bowl full tosses in cricket.
+RUclips Only if there was a wall there like baseball it would be much harder
Well, to me, Cricket catches seemed better as the ball is far more harder and heavier... so high five to all the cricketer fielders... ;)
also no gloves unless you're the Wicket Keeper
Sharky Productions True that
Foxtrot Elite I guess cricket is far more difficult game........ bt as far as catches are concerned baseball catches r difficult because they us only 1 hand that to d wrong hand......

You can't cross the boundary while catching the ball in cricket.
In cricket,players caught the ball, threw it inside the boundary as they knew their inertia would drive them out of the boundary, stepped back again inside the boundary and caught the ball which was still in air.
This was a matter of 1.5 seconds. #Respect

You can't fall over the fair outfield wall in baseball, otherwise the hitter still scores a HR(or if the ball bounces off the player, and it goes over the fence, it's a HR)
It’s easy if you smack the ball in the air and buy yourself more time to catch it calmly

This poll is pretty unfair ngl
In India baseball bat is generally used for Street fights😂😂😂😂.
For us a Bat means a cricket bat.
deepak dahiya you do realize cricket bats are easier to hit with
Matt Wallace bro with large grounds, swing and spin in ball and high scoring matches it is not easy to play cricket. Just try once you'll get to know. In baseball you pitch the ball in air which is known as full toss in cricket and considered as easiest ball to hit. But you don't get that type of ball in cricket. A bowler in cricket hit the ball on the ground and from there the ball changes it's direction as per it's spin or swing with the speed above 150kph.
I'm not saying baseball is an easy sport. Both baseball and cricket are special in their areas. Cricket however has class. It is gentleman's game and requires a lot of mind game, planning and strategy. Only mature people can love and appreciate cricket.

Abraham Brown - 20+ hrs is only for TEST cricket where they test the teams durability by making them play until all players are out whereas ODIs and t20s last much shorter and are limited to a certain number of bowls (pitches in your language) but alas even in those 20 hrs there's so much more action/minute compared to baseball because batters have to score hundreds of runs (points in your language)
We call them runs in baseball. Not points.
And honestly I don't care how much action is going on 20 hours is about 17 hours too long for a game to last. You can't really make that part sound good
Plus I don't think high scores are indicative of an action packed exciting game. So just cause one sport has higher score doesn't mean it's better. You need a competitive balance between offense and defense.
Yeah, I'm not in the business of wasting any of my precious effort in trying to make YOU care about anything as I don't know you and don't give a flying fuck about you. 20hrs of nonstop action was just me putting into perspective how comparative the action is between the two sports, whether you're personally interested in watching a monotonous 3hr game of baseball or an action packed 20hr long cricket game is your business.
Cricket wins for reflex time
+Sourav Bagchi uhhh... maybe you think that because you haven't seen come backers and balls pulled hard to the third baseman. Baseball is known as a game of inches where just the slightest bit of hesitation means the runner gets an infield hit instead of a groundout, the runner nabs second base, or the ball falls in for a bloop single instead of a flyout.
lewiszim In Baseball players don't stand near the hitter. But in Cricket some skilled fielders stand very close to the batsman and they take some outstanding catches
+Sourav Bagchi Not to mention the ball can easily top 150 kmph+ in the situations where batsman times the ball correctly and fielder is standing near by him. Cricket catches look easy because of potato record quality videos they are shown in, catching bare handed at those speeds is the reason why so many fielders get their fingers injured or broken in cricket. No one has the privilege of gloves other than wicket-keeper in cricket.

Cricket is much more fun than Baseball. There is lot more to do in Cricket as compared to Baseball.
Cricket is played in 3 formats. In shortest of them game lasts for 3.5 hours. In another one game lasts for 9-10 hours and in the longest one single game is played for 5 days.
How is there more to do? Just cause it takes 10 hours doesn't mean there's more to do. Just that it can take longer. Which isn't exactly a good thing.
One difference between Baseball and Cricket that I really like is that it's easier to get an out in Baseball but hard to gain runs, while it's easier to gain runs in Cricket but really hard to get an out.

Baseball is like playing cricket with Tennis balls. A professional baseball player will cry for ice every time he tries to catch a cricket ball( no gloves allowed, sorry)
No, they won't. Cricket players are wimpy enough to wear armor when they bat. When baseball players get hit, they simply drop their bat and walk to 1st base. They do this even though there is a hard corked ball hitting them in the shin at 100 mph.

+MopHeDD sorry, what?!? I love baseball so much, more than cricket..... But I'm sorry, you are wrong. There are reflex catches by the bowler only about 15 ft from the batsman (after his follow through) as opposed to a pitcher taking a catch with glove from a pretty static position some 55ft from the plate.
Also, you obviously have never seen slip fielder catches! Again much closer than the 90 ft to third. Not your fault thoug, there aren't any slip catches in this video.

The reason why they gave them gloves
ruclips.net/video/k89qAWqL73E/видео.html
some incredible athleticism and skill from both sports.
-pitching requires much less skill and variation and bowling
-in cricket you need at least 4 good bowlers in your side, in baseball you're only supposed to have one pitcher
-baseball is a game of hit and run, no thinking required, cricket is a game of intense intelligence and skill.
-baseball you only have to catch the bowl to dismiss a running batsman(that too with a glove), in cricket you have to dislodge the bails, meaning you have to think and act much quicker.
-in cricket if u pass the boundary is a 4/6, in baseball if u pass the foul line or jump into the crowd with the ball in hand it's out
-in baseball you wear GLOVES to catch, in cricket you have to catch with ur bare hands
cricket is a much tougher sport, and a much more matured sport, don't compare it to a baby sport like baseball
In baseball a single team uses 1-5+ pitchers per game.
in cricket too, a team usually uses 5 bowlers (all professionals OR 4 professionals and an extra). Every player may or may not bat depending upon the situation.
Also however many times and however hard you get hit by the ball, you can't take rest until you're given OUT (stumping, caught-out, LBW, clean-bold, hit-wicket, run-out). If you're seriously injured, you're given "Retired-Hurt" and the team loses a player, i.e. strength reduces from 11 to 10 against rival full team of 11.
RUclips Only false about the 1 pitcher. Base ball has a "5 man rotation" which means for every 5 games, a different pitcher starts. Also, starters only do about 100 pitchers per game, so the relief pitchers come in, normally sometime after the seventh inning, and only throw 20 pitches each on average. In the 9th inning. They have a closer pitcher, so if a team is winning 3-2 in the 9th inning, they bring in the closer, whose job it to close out, or save the game. So in a normally game. They usually have 3-5 pitchers per game
"you're only supposed to have one pitcher".
Can you please quote the rule of baseball that states that.
Incorrect. A player who retires hurt is allowed to reenter the game after complying with the requirements of the rules. Look up Australian opening batsman Rick McCosker, Centenary Test 1977.
A fielding team is allowed to use a substitute fielder for injured player.
From the point of someone who has played lots of cricket and not very much baseball at all, I have to say, I struggle to understand how there's is any argument about the difficulty of these catches. Bare hand, less time to think, flatter pitch (I mean the gradient at which the ball moves), closer to the batter (silly mid on/ slips). Cricket seems a much harder catch. That being said, that doesn't make either sport harder or better though.
Lmao at your last line. Is baseball even a sport then?
Also, the Wicket Keeper can get outs right behind the wicket, the Catcher cannot as foul tips *do not count* as balls in play
@@Thanos-hp1mw Baseball replaces catching difficulty with throwing accuracy(run outs(force outs/tag outs) are more common in baseball due to the structure of the basepaths, but require hard and accurate throws, watch some first base scoops for some of the close calls that stop players from getting a hit)
@@insertcolorherehawk3761 Agreed, and to ignore the sheer speed and athleticism it takes baseball players to get to these balls a lot of the time is criminal. I mean just watch Bo Jackson play. Cricket fielders have to have great reflexes and the ability to take a physical toll on your hands, and baseball requires more overall speed and athleticism (especially for 3B and outfielders). Making a statement like "this sport is harder" is kinda dumb
If you're a cricket enthusiast and you're wondering why Baseball players wear gloves, it's because of a couple factors. For one, in a lot of cases in Baseball you have to not only catch but quickly throw the ball at an equally fast speed. If they didn't wear gloves, this would be stupidly difficult to the point that it'd be unlikely to happen. Outfielders catching the ball would have a harder time throwing the ball and putting pressure on runners and double plays would be unfeasible in most cases. The second reason is that in Baseball, there's a lot more catching. 27 outs are needed to win in Baseball whereas 10 dismissals are needed in Cricket. Besides the catcher, first Basemen who easily have to catch more than any other position in Baseball couldn't exist in their current capacity without a glove.
Leave it these cricket Idiots won't understand they have very low IQ 😂
In cricket the fielders also have to throw the ball to the wicket as quickly as possible in the case of a NO ball. Your argument about 27 catches is really idiotic in single t20 game ( shortest format of cricket) in 1 innings a team has to play 120 bowls which means batsman can hit the ball 120 times and every time fielder has to stop that ball and throw it the wickets
@@mayanksingh8696 Yes, fielders have to throw in the case of a no ball, but you missed the point of my argument. In Cricket, you don't have plays where you catch the ball AND immediately need to rocket throw to a base. You'll either catch the ball and celebrate with no additional action required or you fail to catch it and need to throw it quickly. You aren't in a situation where you need to do both back to back. This is because in Cricket, you don't have runners that are acting independently of the batsman. In Baseball, you do and there are plenty of times where an outfielder for instance will have to catch the ball and quickly throw to prevent the runner from advancing.
This isn't to suggest Baseball is harder or anything but rather to showcase the need of a glove. If Baseball players didn't have gloves, these quick one-to-one catch and throw plays I'm mentioning would virtually not exist. The hits would become more plentiful and the nuance of the running game would be lessened. Currently, runners need to be careful how much distance they cover while a ball is in the air, because if it's caught they have to retag the base they were at. Gloves make it so the ball is more likely to be caught and put a nice bit of precaution on runners to gauge the difficulty of a catch.
Lastly, you misunderstood my 27 outs point. When you have to get 27 outs verses 10 and have more fielders relative to the distance that needs to be covered, fielders are naturally going to be put in situations where they have a more ideal position to catch. This adds problems though because if you're more likely to be in position to catch the ball and you have more outs to get, you'll be catching the ball more often. This adds a safety risk to fielders who are going to be catching far more balls in a single game. In a single game, the same fielder might wind up catching 6-8 hard hit balls. Cricket by comparison puts Cricket players in less of an ideal position to catch the ball, so they are less inclined to catch the ball frequently in a single game, and thus catching it barehanded is fine. In Cricket, if one cricket player is catching 6 fly balls then hot damn that's pretty unusual. See the difference? Baseball players are more likely to be in position to catch and have more outs to get, so they're catching more often and need protection so it can be done regularly. But if it's so uncommon for one player to be consistently catching in a single game of Cricket, there's less of a need for a glove. At best in Cricket, a single fielder will catch three balls if they're lucky.

y are gloves allowed in baseball...what is the ball made of? in cricket its tough leather but gloves are allowed only for keeper
The ball is made of a white cow hide that covers many layers of wool and a little rubber ball in the core. Stiches are added around the ball so pitchers can throw different pictches. The players wear gloves because the ball can get hit extremely hard by a batter. Speeds up to 120mph can be generated once a ball gets hit and heads towards the field of play. That being said, a glove is used to catch the ball bcuz it is very hard and goes very fast. If a cricket player was to catch a baseball hit by a MLB batter, their hand can get broken or bruised.
that 120 mph speed is seen in cricket too though not common...but forget that, y are they catching balls from the sky with gloves?
even a kid could do that. i can understand if players standing close to the batsman are wearing gloves like the person sitting behind the batsman and the guy pitching...they mi8 need gloves to catch.
but in the video most catches seem to be the ball coming from a great height in which case gloves should not be allowed as the ball would get no where near the 100mph. its cheating
i did some research and found since cricket is much much older than baseball, it was originally played without safety equipment and it has remained so. Baseball was invented when safety equipment like gloves were already present and thus rules were written accordingly.

From what I have seen I think baseball requires more stamina to run for catches, they need fast speed but Cricket requires both stamina and great reflex action for eg Fielder on slip and point.
Also since cricket has boundries it requires awareness to catch a ball which is close to boundry but not in Baseball
Though if the ball bounces off of you and it goes out, it counts as a full boundary and not as a grounded boundary, and if you go over the wall with the ball, well, it's a home run

@@栗栖が萌じゃない oh ya what u know about.....cricket...u mean catching barehandedly the hard rock ball coming horizontally with lethal speed is easy to u than catching with gloves having enough time.......or balling in different variation with deadly bouncer with unimaginable swing rather than easy fulltoss ball in baseball....or in the basis of making strategy or showing athleticism while fielding in cricket.....many more....what u want 2 compare with superior cricket.....have some real knowledge in lieu of biased one
I loved the baseball catches.
Nitesh Singh I strongly agree
Football fan spotted.
cricket iz for btr then baseball
The baseball commentator said he took a bare handed catch😅😅😅😅😅😅 ....... Every outfield catch in cricket is bare handed . In school we were learned to catch before we start any other training..... Catches win matches
Yep
One has mastered the art of catching the ball with gloves, other has mastered the art of catching with bare hands, fair enough. Baseball ones have more flexibility and range tough due to the gloves, that’s why in some of the catches, their approach to the ball would be considered a mistake in cricket, but, they don’t need it due to the gloves. Cricket ones have a way to approach the ball and a way to catch it. I’ve played both cricket and baseball so, I can say that cricket catches are more on the technique side, whereas baseball is more on the instinct side. Also, the method where you pull your hands down while catching in cricket does not work in baseball because of the gloves. You have to catch with palms on the other side in baseball. Cricket teaches a very good way to approach the ball though.
Correct that cricket 2.9 Billion Baseball 250 million!
How? The US and Japan should eclipse that number alone
India is eating Britain's shit(cricket) 😂
Both Sports are amazing. I have tons of Indian friends that always show me cricket. (Those idiots are fucking annoying but I love them) But for me, I love baseball better. The bat is smaller, the batting lineup is not just about hitting the ball, it is about connecting to the next batter. Bunting, squeeze plays, sac bunt and millions of thing that you can do with bunting. Baserunning, stealing bases and more. Pitches, throwing hundreds of high speed pitches with perfect accuracy and break. A single pitch can determine the game, and getting a single point is hard as fuck. In Baseball, there is no such thing as ''Sure win", even a team full mo jacked up guys can lose to a bunch of kids. Baseball's rule is kind of complicated, but that's what make it cool.
What about the Aussies, Spring Bucks, Pommies, West Indies, Sri Lanka, Netherlands, Kiwis? We all play a bloody good game of cricket & rugby too, Mr I.Know one group I know the world!
Warren552011 ...Yeh thanks for correcting me Spring Boks, been away from this for awhile.
Yes baseball has a million cool things and that too without having a bounced pitch. Now in cricket you can bounce the pitch meaning you can all the things that you have suggested and more. It's like baseball is a single variable linear equation while cricket is poly-variable poly-degree equation which can take as many values as possible. But I love baseball anime though. :D
Cricket is better than baseball
1:17 , 1:32 & 5:38 is a clear example of the awareness of cricket players while fielding they ensures they are taking the catch inside the boundary line while in baseball it amuses me they not only have gloves but also have the leverage of completing the catch, going past the boundary lines . In cricket it would be SiX for the batting team , even if the fielder completes the catch going past boundary line. Hitting a six is as same as the impact of Homerun in baseball, guess you know what i meant. The amount of risks, awareness etc in cricket is enormous.
I always love Playing and watching Cricket
Cricket pitch makes huge difference
cricket is better than baseball as they use gloves
Cricket is much tougher then baseball
the major difference is the GLOVE!
it makes catching much much easier in baseball than that in cricket
Cricket is older than baseball and it is original raw english sport. In the other part Baseball was not invented as original sport, but it was inspired by cricked and rounders and the man who did it took some things from cricket and rounders . the same thing happened with rugby and american football, where rugby is older
Don't spill out rubbish
@@vishveshtadsare3160 vishvesh. America is an europian seeds or better say english seeds. Useing english language english name , even useimg common law which is an english system since 1215 when america were still an english cum. Go and ready some sport books or if you are lazzy just open wiki . Vishvesh e ke nvesh 😂
There's no thing as boundary catch in baseball .... Hahhahha
Have u ever seen a homer robbing catch? Clearly not cuz they’re way more impressive
Of course cricket
Baseball is a lot more popular. World Wide too vinoth s.. But just by looking at the plays it's pretty obvious which look harder. I make those cricket plays probably once a game at any position. The ball bounces when the pitcher throws the ball for cricket that's not much different than getting a ground ball and throing it to first. There may be some harder things in cricket but I do think that baseball is a lot harder then cricket. It also looks more fun than cricket maybe it's because there is more people or it's just a fun hard game to play
Cricket is the 2nd most popular sport in the world. I have no idea where you got that statistic from
Base ball is hard?
May be because of thr round bat. But once you face a 90 mph bowler who swings the ball vertically and horizontally things start looking different. And you just whacked your bat at the ball, you would get no runs. Most of the time a max of 10 or 12. There is a lot of technique involved, its not just hitting the ball. Tell me which is hard
Once you face a bouncer - a ball racing over 60mph on directly on your face and with less than a second for you tp react.
Baseball is popular, india's IPL alone has more viewers, leave aside the world cup.
Dude unreally need to learn more about cricket before making the judgement that " baseball is harder than cricket " seriously , i dont like the stereotypes but sometimes they r so true ,, Americans are seriously very ignorant to the things outside the US,
American football is not even a ball , neither played with foot , still they call it football and call the real football "soccer"
Cricket is a worldwide sport and not just a sport but religion in countries like england , australia , india etc... So plz have a thorough research about cricket before offending billions of cricket fans all over the world
can't remember how many times i have read the soccer vs football joke. it's getting annoying
Idiot American. U know Indian capital. It is introduce ur idiot mind
Difference is a baseball player could become a great cricketer than a cricketer could ever play in MLB. Hence why baseball players make 35 million and cricketers make no where near that
Lol cricketer makes around 30-40M USD a year
It's true Babe Ruth just hit bowlers like every where when he tried cricket. He said with such broad flank it's way too easy. He lost interest and went back to baseball.
cricket is hard to play then baseball. and cricket is more enjoy then any game in world. no game can beat cricket. it is awesome.
*Why baseball players need a glove to catch that Cotton Ball?*
Bigger ball
Cricket ball and baseball are made of the exact same materials. They wear gloves because it L’s not just for catching pop ups. They have to physically tag runners out who are sliding into them with metal and throw the ball as hard as they can to each other from close distances. In cricket all you do is jog down lightly grazed grounders or bend over and pick up a ball that has been tapped five feet. You don’t need a glove for that do you?
i vote for cricket
As I have gone through some baseball videos and understanding basic play rules(still I don't know the full dynamics of the game,as I haven't played it) ,I can say both cricket and baseball are great in their own way.....cricket is more of the BATSMAN and BOWLER dominated game ,,,,,,and baseball is FIELDER dominated game
Cricket is batsman dominated while baseball is pitcher dominated.
In cricket the trajectory of the ball being hit is more unpredictable. Cricket players have to be quicker and have amazing reflexes.
Tony Koter look up screaming line drives and u will see how little time some fielders have
I started watching this video when I am only 10 years old now I am 15 And I didn't stop to watch this video
both sport are fabulous. I love them both.
Baseball catches look like Frisbee catch, the ball just goes straight up, the ground is so small, if it was cricket ground there will be hundreds sixes
The longest boundary in Cricket is the MCG's straight boundary, at 95m/302ft, the recommended short(corner) boundary in baseball is 98m/320ft(while 250 is legal, they will pretty much tell you to build a very massive wall(in play) to make it harder, see: The Green Monster at Fenway Park) with center field(straight) at 120m/400ft, most of the longer catches in Baseball would be sixes dozens of meters before the catch
Average center field is 403.5ft-Longest: Minute Maid Park(435ft-133m)
Average corner is 331.5ft-Longest: Wrigley Field(355ft-108m)
cricket is best
The only thing baseball catches have better is a good video quality
As with Americans, they try to make everything dramatic. Who on earth thinks hitting a full toss ball with a cross bat a serious sport?
Correct me if I'm wrong which I probably am, but fielders in cricket throw the ball at the wicket also. In baseball they directly throw to another fielder. This means the baseball player would get so much more contact to hands. Without gloves their hands would be torn up
Mostly cricketers throw it to a fielder standing over the wicket and they don't wear gloves, with the exception of the wicket keeper who does because he has to catch just about every ball in the match
+jock mitton okay
+Clutchbaconboy the wicket keeper has to wear the gloves because he is standing just behind the wicket and facing ball at very different angles, most of the time its anticpation based upon how the player moved his bat, i have seen people tear up the pulps of their as the ball sheared through the tips. The wicket keeper gloves are like made of stones lol at the finger tip, rest of the gloves is very thin
The trend in cricket for more than three decades has been to adopt the baseball technique of throwing from the outfield to a "cutoff" fielder. The technique was adopted by the Aussies who had various fielding coaches with baseball backgrounds. I believe Bobby Simpson was most responsible for this. Studies show this is quicker to throw flatter and faster over throwing one strenuous aerial effort. The cutoff fielder is more often than not directed to throw to the end most likely to catch a batter runner out of his ground. The employment of the baseball "crow-hop" has also vastly improved cricket fielding.
If one thinks about it clearly, the use of gloves improves baseball fielders range and ability as often seen with good cricket wicket keepers.
Warren552011 why don't they?
maybe cricket has baseball beat with catching, but baseball has better throws from fielders
***** the wicket keeper has gloves lol
+§aturn Check for cricket runouts. In cricket the fielder needs to be good with throw (Both Pace and precision)
John Deep but they pale in comparison to baseball throws
***** do any other fielders? no. yet they still get thrown to
Compared to baseball, only wicket keeper wears gloves and pads. Also some fielders stand really close to the batsmen. In cricket the fielder need to have good reflexes.
Do you know how hard and heavy is the cricket bowl?
That's why it's called hard ball.
that’s why softball is not pro
@@chilidavis9894 Softballs aren't that soft
and how much aerial spin and curve can you get on a full toss?
InsertColorHereHawk I know that
in cricket the bat is way heavier, you face bowlers that have speeds of 90-100mph and you have 0.2 millisecond to think and react and adjust everything to take the shot whereas is baseball is double. The ball is harder, heavier and has caused 114 deaths 84 of which are in international despite the halmet and the pads, the ball is so heavy with such a greater force that it requires impressive strength to even play it at 80mph forget 90. Also cricket bowling is about thinking, bouncers swing it or spin it or York it, what length, high or low, bouncers and players have to have there arm straight not even 1 degree bit bent. The pitch is way bigger and your baseball players may not be able to think and may smack but not far. The bat is heavy and reduces the swing time by 30% than that in base ball. The game requires thinking. The bowlers set the batsman up. The batsman have to decide quick. Its the second popular and hardest sport and dangerous.
This is my favorite song and video to continue my cricket
it s looking like cricket player taking catches very fastly and diving very much
cricket is the best
1:45 - “takes a bare handed catch!!! OMG I’ve never seen that before!”
- Clearly has never watched cricket 😂
Mind you, I love my baseball too, but it’s a much easier sport to learn and play...
Nice - all the baseball clips were in HD, but all the cricket ones were scribbled with blunt crayons!
because most are from the 90s.....
Because we came first and you are our sloppy seconds 😂😂🤣🤣
First of all if there was gloves cricketers won't miss a catch.secondly in baseball the ball comes straight fast,no spin, no pace, no turn.no issue of pitch.so basically a blind shot with timing could hit the ball.but in cricket the ball will turn,spin and u can't judge the pace.so timing,hand eye coordination,placement,all matters.talking about the catches if boundary was an issue I am sure baseball players will get messed up.so ultimately cricket is way harder than baseball.it is the father of baseball
