@DanielCavicchi I found the hardest part was remembering to leave the bat behind.

@gorhendad_oldbuck Ha! Indeed. It was hard enough for me, as a spectator, to forget baseball in order to understand cricket, so I applaud anyone who can translate their *playing* in either direction.

@DanielCavicchi The former England cricketer Ed Smith wrote a very good book - Playing Hard Ball - comparing the history, culture, and play of the two games. It’s interesting how much both games invest in their history and mythology, although in many ways I think baseball is much more conservative!
