I found this episode of Sports Science a while ago but had forgot about it. Basically they take some cricketer and Mark Reynolds of the Arizona Diamondbacks and have them try their hand at the other sport. If you watch the cricketer explains have you have to hold a cricket bat differently and it takes a completely different type of swing to be successful. Reynolds basically says "F*ck That" and proceeds to crush just about every bowl he sees with a prototypical baseball swing.
Now I know anyone who's a cricket fan (of which I really know none) would complain about the dangers of having a 90 MPH bowl straight at you but I've seen dude's take upper-90s fastballs with movement in the dome, the back and off their knees. So basically I will never listen to anyone who champions the merits of cricket over baseball.
