Cubs players try CRICKET with FELIX WHITE for the FIRST TIME! | ROAD TO THE LONDON SERIES

Спорт

MLB Europe & BBC Sport presenter, Felix White heads to Wrigley Field, Chicago ahead of the ‘MLB World Tour London Series presented by Capital One’ to get a first-hand experience of the epic Route 66 Rivalry between the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals.
He catches up with Cubs legends, super fans and even tries to teach Patrick Wisdom and Hayden Wesneski the art of cricket 🏏. Could we see a baseball player make the switch to cricket in the future 🤔? And what is it that makes this rivalry so special?
You can watch the MLB World Tour: London Series live with exclusive commentary from Felix White, Melanie Newman and Xavier Scruggs on BBC Sport and iPlayer on Saturday 24 June 6pm and Sunday 25 June 3pm.

    As a baseball fan who admittedly doesn’t know much about Cricket but is eager to learn more, batting in Cricket is a totally different animal than batting in baseball It’s so defensive in comparison with baseball batting- At times they remind me more of a goalie in hockey deflecting shots than a baseball batter

    Yes.. That Defense is Considered a Skill coz even if Edge of the Bat touches the Ball before landing in Fielder's hand, Our Batsman is Out, for that day.. If defence went wrong, it may pave way for the Ball to hit the Wicket again for our Poor Batsman..

    There is a different raison d'etre in cricket because you have more time on your side as a batsman. A home run is a significant event for a baseball batter; it could win the game. In the normal course of cricket it would have little significance on its own. You have to stay in to make meaningful scores in cricket and that includes defending the bowler's best balls so you can exploit other deliveries.

    Passionate fans of baseball (and I mean those who really enjoy the sport inside and out) know fully well, no two games are ever the same. This rivalry always delivers, even if both teams might be below .500 before 1 August (which doesn't happen too often these days.) Just wait until you see the fans outside West Ham and the way the fans get into the game early and often. That experience alone is worth the price of admission, long before the 2 1/2 or 3 plus hours whizz by and the game ends up being very close up to the last out.

    IMO MLB should have started a cricket league using franchises of MLB teams to tap into the fanbase. ie Cubs Cricket (or Cubs Cricket Club), Cardinals Cricket, Yankees Cricket etc. Bit late now maybe with Major League Cricket underway, but maybe some ownership groups can still get in on it by franchising team names and logo etc. Personally I'd be hyped for Boston Redsox Cricket Club to join MLC.

    The batter in cricket has much more control over what happens and options about what they can do. They can leave or play the ball , defend or attack the ball, play with the bat horizonal or vertical, run or not run and play the ball any direction. The batter in baseball is much more limited in their ability to control the game as they have fewer options available to them.

    The side I'd be really interested to see is how baseball players deal with the concentration of batting in cricket. Like you could potentially be batting for 3+ hours and facing 300+ balls in an innings of test cricket, whereas an AB in baseball might last at most 20 pitches (that being the record I think). The ball comes with less velocity in cricket as it isn't thrown and bounces off of the pitch but the amount of decisions a batter has too make is much much higher.

    Only problem with Giants/Dodgers in London is that both teams are from the Pacific Time Zone. The travel times involved, and the resulting jet lag, would be insane for teams 8 hours out of their normal time, causing them to likely take serious losses in their first series back in North America afterwards.

These have all gone on for 50 years plus and have gotten people killed as well as causing riots. Taking Celtic and Rangers in Glasgow as an example Celtic were the Catholic club and Rangers Protestant.
