How Cricket is different to Baseball
It's a comparison made all over the world, but the 2 games are very different. Here's how:
Cricket
Ground: Cricket is played on an oval, a pitch that is 22 yards long.
Players: 2 teams of 10 players
Scoring: To score runs, the batsmen must run up and down the pitch, and play happens alternatively from both ends of the pitch.
Baseball
Ground: Unlike cricket, the American game of baseball is played on a 90 foot diamond
Players: 2 teams of 9 players.
Scoring: To score runs, the batters run around the 4 corners ('bases') of the baseball diamond.
A 'home run' is when a player runs through all 4 bases at once.
