World Cup winning cricketer Jos Buttler takes on baseball with World Series winner Chase Utley
Спорт
Jos Buttler is cricketing royalty. England captain, a World Cup winner and IPL superstar, there’s no doubt he can swing a cricket bat. But how about a baseball bat?
Philadelphia Phillies legend Chase Utley put him through his paces in the batting cage and behind the plate as he swapped sports for the day in London.

How is baseball primitive when cricket was invented first. Baseball evolved from a british sport rounders which is invented after cricket. So cricket is the oldest sport.
He is one of the best strikers of white ball cricket..90mph is a cake for him.
You can see that his instinct is to use his wrists and arms to ‘place’ the ball rather than trying to hit it out the park. Cricket is 99% timing and placement, his muscle memory was too ingrained.

And there’s some that can throw balls that will break a large amount right, left, down and mixture of the three at 90mph. Simplifying it as a full toss is lazy

@L.I.T.H.I.U.M "intellectually weaker section of the population" if that really was the case, I would to see you say that to Japanese and Koreans that take baseball serious. U know nothing about baseball. Saying baseball is a cartoonified version of cricket is the dumbest take I've ever heard. First off, cricket and baseball are not the same game. 2nd, if baseball was really that easy, their would be a lot of cricketers playing baseball by now. U can make a debate that bowling is harder than pitching, the same way its harder to hit a baseball than it is in cricket. But ultimately bowling and pitching are not the same. Same way hitting a baseball is different than hitting a cricket ball. Just because a cricketer is good at bowling doesn't mean they would be good at pitching. Pitching is more about deception and tricking the batter. Baseball is a PITCHERS game, cricket is a BATSMAN game.
With our American friends in mind. Batting whether cricket or baseball starts with hand/eye co-ordination and Jos as an England cricketer has that A++. Next the ball comes through the air - three basic pitches fast, slow, curved. This is straightforward to deal with compared to cricket where most balls hit the ground first and the batsman has a very short time frame to decide how to deal with it. Bowl a full toss in cricket to a player of Jos' ability and it will get the treatment. Where baseball is harder is its a round rather than straight face to the bat and the baseball bat has less diameter. I think with a little time English cricketers would master the bat differences as they have the basic skills already there. Jos showed that I think. Only the wicker keeper has gloves in cricket - all other players catch the ball with their bare hands. This makes catching the baseball easier than catching the cricket ball as Jos found out. Again - he already has A++ ball catching skills in place, the baseball mitt made it easier. Each game has its own skills and strategies. Most Brits see baseball as rounders - but there is much more to it than that. Cricket, especially 5 day test match cricket, for me is the more interesting game bearing in mind the variances in cricket pitch/wicket, the different types of bowling - pace, medium, swing, spin and the variances in the way the ball can be bowled. And the subtleties in field placements. Though understood its an alien concept to many Americans - particularly the 60 or so different fielding positions and many of which have whacko names. Cow Corner, Silly Mid On and Backward Point for example?

You do not entirely underestimate the variation/nuance and relative difficulty of baseball (particularly regarding the bats' differences), but you still underestimate, friend. Baseball is incredibly complex and by far the most difficult to play (when considering the full spectrum of positions) of all North American sports. The baseball is NOT easier to catch, as its exit velocity and spin rate are much higher, on average, than a cricket ball's. And baseball batters are lightly armored compared to cricket batsmen. This makes a huge difference -- as on any given pitch a baseball player may be blinded by taking a pitch in the face. And the actual hitting surface of a baseball bat is barely one cm wide -- as only the part of the bat that rests on a flat surface can be used to squarely strike the ball; one cannot squarely strike a ball with a round bat unless the ball is near-perfectly centered on the bat. A cricket bat's flat hitting surface is comparatively huge when it comes to that required for squarely striking a thrown ball.

@@AlexanderWinterborn It has to be said the body armour for batsmen has grown over the years,. When I was a youngster a batsman had pads, gloves with rubber spikes to protect the hands, and a box to protect the "delicate bits" of the male anatomy. Time moves on - sausage padding for gloves replaces the spikes of rubber, arm guards, chest and thigh pads on the side facing the bowler, and helmets are added. A few years ago a batsman was killed when a very unlucky ball threaded the gap between helmet visor and face guard leading to a redesign in helmets around the globe. The difference in bats is interesting - while a cricket bat is wider if the ball does not strike the sweet spot in the centre of the bat so the batsman edges the ball it will spit out in an unexpected direction, potentially creating a catching opportunity. Part of the bowler's tactics are to trick the batsman into thinking the ball will be at a certain speed and placement when it is different, so deceiving the batsman and increasing the chances of an edge instead of a square hit. I take your point on ball velocity, but still think the catchers mitt creates an advantage compared to the bare hands of cricket fielders who often have to take reflex catches at speed at short range. Eg fielders at the Silly mid positions. Long range catches which usually come from height are of course at a much lower velocity. I learned a bit ( a very little bit) about baseball in the late 90s when Sosa and McGuire were chasing each other for the home run record and it was enough to catch the interest of this Brit.

I'm from India. Back in the day (about 10-15 years ago), we didn't have any bats, or couldn't afford them, so we used wooden sticks, tree branches, or coconut branches. Because of that experience, hitting a baseball wouldn't be that difficult for us. Cricketers might be able to adapt to baseball in a few hours. However, baseball players might find it challenging to adapt to cricket as quickly. They're accustomed to full toss balls, and might struggle with bouncers, yorkers, and spinners. Baseball players would likely need days to adjust to cricket. Finally, cricket is a lot of fun, but some people might prefer baseball - it really comes down to personal preference.

In cricket when the ball doesn't hit the ground and comes straight to the batter we call it 'full toss'. And batters love hitting sixs on full toss deliveries. In that perspective baseball will be an easy game for cricketers and will be much harder for baseball players to play cricket. Cricket is much tougher than baseball wheather amricans agree or not.
Buttler has hit a 153.7 clicks ball of Haris Rauf as scoop when it was bowled at the base of stumps and that ball cleared the fine leg fence by over 2-3 rows. Just imagine the skill. Baseball is just Cricket at difficulty level set to low.
every cricket player can play baseball easily but baseball player can't play cricket
I like how baseball fans think their players can probably hit a cricket ball out of the park and that's the end. That doesn't mean anything in Cricket because you could still get out the next ball.

It's very interesting how different the applications are. Baseball is really focused on direction and the strike zone is smaller with a smaller round bat. It's like someone perfecting the omelet. Striving to get it right every time bringing all the elements together. Cricket on the other hand is more the short order cook meeting the needs of each request and dealing with much more variety in choice. Shot selection, being able to hit in any direction makes for alot of options to try and meet demands all in a short span of time. Batters are masters of getting their swing just right, fine tuning and waiting for their pitch. Batsmen make alot of choices and have to play the variety. Neither is 'better' as both are designed towards the sport they are used in.

Same with playing defense. Cricket fielders seem to be more generalized and have to be flexible to adjust to unpredictable plays. Baseball fielders, by contrast, are more specialized towards the role they play for the team. A shortstop has to be quick and agile. A first baseman needs to be able to catch wild throws. A catcher needs to be able to take punishment, work in tandem with the pitcher, watch out for baserunners stealing, and so on.

hope u realize not all pitches are perfect strikes. The pitcher is purposely trying to make the batsman swing at bad pitches. It's not like cricket where u can just choose not to swing. These cricketers would easily get striked out by high school pitchers

@@fordastreeets8019in cricket too bowlers (pitchers) bowl purposely and strategically bad Ball to get the batter out (by catch out or stump out). There are 11 ways batsman can get out and don't come back for whole game as batter. Bowler spin the ball (6 types of spins) , swing it (in swing, out swing), and many other bowling variants. For batter, Continuously playing (batting or bowling) whole day isn't easy (and in test match they play for five days). Continuously batting and facing the balls (pitches) whole day hundredth of time without getting out. Baseball players have no chance in it. They can't even catch the ball with gloves lol

@cinefile0075 I don't where u been at, baseball players are very capable of catching without gloves lol. There's a whole YT compilation if u want to see. Also yall don't have the concept of 3 strikes and your out. In baseball, u only get 3 strikes and 4 balls (ball = a wide) that's it. U will only bat a few times in one game. Unlike cricket, yall have the luxury to not swing whenever u feel like it and yall also have the luxury of batting a hundred times per game (making it easier to adjust to bowlers) 😂 if a cricketer tried batting against even a High school pitcher, the cricketer wouldn't even be able to have time to adjust to the pitcher. They would be facing +90mph pitches that they couldn't even read. I also doubt majority of cricketers would even be able to hit a homerun. I also doubt cricketers would know the concept of running bases. Cricketers would even get schooled by the average 8 year old in japan
If a cricketer plays baseball most probably he will end up getting strike out. If a baseball player plays cricket most probably he will end injured out. End game of argument.
It ll be an easy job to make robot that can play baseball and it ll be near impossible to make a robot that can bat in cricket

@@AlexanderWinterborn May be you are right, but I was giving a purely engineering opinion. The number of variables to track seems significantly more in cricket. I have no doubt that both games are difficult to play. Since the trajectory of the ball is always through the air (in baseball), this is in fact the most easy ball to play (called a full-toss) in cricket ! The interaction of the ball with the ground introduces too many unknowns, and even a robot will need to be very fast to make sense of it.

Not true. Playing baseball it would look like that because the ball has a small window, but in a cricket game they adjust their lower body all the time because the ball can bounce up at any height, length, direction and speed.

@@cricketexplained8526 Technically yes, but technically no too! Rounders and Baseball are just two names that refer to the same game, depending on where you were in the UK, you might call the game Rounders in one area, go 10min down the road and they'd be calling it Baseball, or elsewhere they might call it something different, but the rules are pretty much the same! Both names for the game were coined here in the UK, as yes, we created the game (circa 1300s), it was introduced into the British colony of Canada in the 1770s, became popular, then duly trickled down into the rest of the Americas, where some minor modifications were made to it into the modern game we associate with America!
Baseball is definitely way harder game than you think, who doesn't think they are delusional. If it's that easy than India would've have world class baseball teams.

In cricket if u throw a full toss, it seemed as the worst ball cuz it's easier for the batsman to hit. So baseball won't be hard for any good batsmen in cricket and catching is just way too easy for them with these gloves.

@@tanbirnr2389I have played cricket with sticks too. Not that hard. Its not the bat size. Both batting and bowling(pitching) is harder in cricket. Its much harder to play a ball that pitches on ground and deviates at a frightening speed. Bowlers can target your neck,head,toe anywhere. Also the slower spin balls can be tricky as well. And for bowlers(pitchers),you have to make a proper full rotation of arms. Thats why bowlers in cricket generally takes a long runup and pitches it like a javelin.Because its not easy to generate speed without bending your arms. I am not disrespecting baseball,its also interesting. But if you have full knowledge about cricket,you would understand how complex it is. Baseball is simpler,from bat size to pitching style everything
Would love to see the roles reversed.

Its not that baseball (full toss) is easy for cricketers, but the actual fact is crickter play more difficult balls than baseball players so naturally full toss gets easy to connect with the bat for cricket players.
Baseball = power, hard hitting, Cricket = timing, balance and placement, you have all these 3, you dont need power and hard hitting.
