Base- ball has nine players, cricket has eleven; cricket has two bases, whereas baseball has four. But their foremost difference is philosophical. In short, baseball favors defense, while cricket favors offense.
But talking about similarity we can see the basic principle for these two game is same.Players of one team have to attempt to score runs by hitting the ball,at the same time players of the other team have to attempt to prevent the scoring and to put batting players out.In cricket, players attempt to defend the wickets (3 wooden sticks), while in baseball players attempt to prevent the ball going to the strike zone. The delivery distance, from release of the ball by the pitcher(baseball)/bowler(cricket) to its arrival at the batter(baseball)/batsman(cricket), is almost same in both sports.
While many of their rules, terminology, and strategies are similar but there are many differences—some subtle, some major—between the two games.
What is your opinion:
• Baseball is better
• Cricket is better
• Both are equally bad
• Both are equally good
• Don't know / Don't care
