Pretty much comparable to baseball 93 MPH pitch from a little further than the normal baseball mound distance. What's the big deal?
cause this isn't a foul in cricket...and the fastest is right around 100mph
Funny the speed marker on the bottom of the video disagrees with your assesment. Yes they throw fast. Yes it hurts if it hits you. What's the big deal? Just for your edification the action in that video would not be a foul in baseball either.
cricket uses a fucking flat paddle baseball uses a round batguess who has more contact space?i dont give a fuck if you throw 150mph, if i have a 6 inch wide paddle im gonna hit it
you are correct, you do not need a glove to catch a rubber ballrubber baby buggy bumpers
so its like one of those skeeball balls at chuckie cheese?
yeesh ..hereanotheras for why i think its superior..ok i have never seen a ball move THIS much in baseballI was not disputing the top speed reached by a cricket pitcher, only that the video you posted did not show 100MPH (the fastest recorded pitch in baseball is still faster). I like cricket very much. No more no less than baseball. It is not better, just different.As for your ball movement, that is laughable. Allow a baseball pitcher to bounce one and it moves just the same. The actions of the games are similar in many ways. The wider bat allowws for better(more) hitting placement. Baseball bat allows for more power. Don't make like it is so difficult to hit in cricket. It is not.
well i've held both baseball balls and cricket balls...cricket balls tend to feel harder

It's always the cricket lovers that try to convince us that it's better than baseball. Those who love baseball don't stoop to making such comparisons.
