Eh, I guess i'm an American so I prefer sports i'm more accustomed to. Cricket seems so weird. I don't really get why the pitcher has that whole running start, or why the batter is so heavily padded, or why that paddle is used to smack a ball. Most of all i don't know what those three sticks are behind the batter and why they have little sticks on top of them.

Baseball: you hit and run. simplicity
