Those are 50 mph lmao

That’s in the batting cages 😂. That’s batting practice, not real hitting. Gtfo with that nonsense

Let's use science instead of basing it off videos of players hitting balls at half speed. Avg speed of fast pitch: MLB 92-95 mph Cricket: 80-90 mph Speed by time it reaches batter: MLB: 83-87 mph Cricket: 65-80 mph depending on bounce Travel time from release to batter: MLB: 0.40-0.44 sec Cricket: 0.45-0.55 sec Effective reaction time: MLB: 0.15 sec Cricket: 0.20-0.30 sec Being that we can actually measure all this by average speed of throw, distance from release to batter, and more, we can just scientifically prove which one is harder to hit. I'll even throw in a graph. 2 extra points to hitting these two pitches. 1) A baseball bat has a smaller surface than a cricket bat to hit the ball. 2) A baseball player has a 90 degree wedge of field to put the ball in play where in cricket you have a full 360 degrees. 270 of those degrees in baseball, hitting the ball is the same as missing it unless you already have 2 strikes.

Do cricket fans realize that videos like this are basically the equivalent of a bowler throwing a hitter only slow full tosses in cricket, then that hitter claiming cricket is easy only based on that. The velocity is almost the entire reason why professional baseball is difficult

Why are you wearing a blast gear?

These are slow meatballs. You aren’t touching mlb pitching

Mookie is talking about a pro pitcher pitching at 100mph at you. As a non pro you are not hitting any of it. If you think you can you just proving your IQ which is probably still below 85 to begin with.

My mom can hit those pitches. Hardly elite pitching.

Should have posted 2 days back, every one would've used this video.

How fast is that pitching machine? 😭😭 50mph?

Baseball is such easy sport wven street cricketer can hit miles away those full tosses. 🤣🤣 Calling that a game a crime.

That slow ass pitch lmaoooo

1. The ball hitting the bat doesn't make it a hit. A hit allows you to reach base. 2. The WORST pitcher in the MLB is throwing 40 MPH faster than this pitching machine.

Hey, how come it yall can't come up with an actual example of a cricketer hitting in a baseball game? Are yall allergic to making $15-50 million a year to dominate the "easy sport?"

Cricketer walking to bat

Do you guys not understand there is a night and day difference between batting practice cage and live opponent pitching?

That’s the setting you use when you’re 11 years old, maybe younger. No im not exaggerating

It's not even a debate, it's just opinions.

Pitching machines are meant to be hit on...

Intentionally misunderstanding is so OP

It was over when India is a top team. Name another physical thing they are good at? Point proven, end of discussion.

That machine is definitely set at 60mph which is equivalent to little league

In a batting cage lmaooo

Batting practice? Bro, children hit that.

Taking a wicket can be hard sometimes.

Lets see you go up against an actual pitcher.

Toss a couple at 100mph

lol

Those are batting practice pitches. An 8 year old would hit those.

Ok so we can all agree that cricket bowling is much harder than pitching then.

In a batting cage with the same pitch every time? I didn’t know other countries were this dumb.

Lotta pop outs for 50mph BP

Goofy ass swing lmao
