My brother, look! I grew up in Cuba, where baseball is almost a religion. From childhood, you grow up with a bat in your hand, hitting soda caps or a rag ball, dreaming of being like Víctor Mesa or El Duque. So, for me, cricket... I have no idea how to play it well, but I'll give you my opinion based on what I know.

Look, in baseball, batting is one of the hardest things in sports. You're standing there, facing a guy throwing a ball at you at over 90 miles per hour, with a curveball, slider, changeup, sinker... each pitch may look the same, but it does different things in the air. And you have milliseconds to decide whether to swing at it or not. That's not a game!

Now, all I know about cricket is that the ball bounces before you get there, and the bat is as flat as a board. They say there are also difficult pitches, that change trajectory and all that, but I don't think it's the same. Because in baseball, you miss 7 out of 10 times and you can still be considered a batting monster. Imagine that.

So, cricket may have its science, I won't deny it. But batting in baseball... that's art, reflex, and courage, my brother. And if you don't believe me, let a cricket batsman come stand in front of Aroldis Chapman in his prime and see what real speed is.

So, with all due respect, for me the most difficult batting is in baseball. That's not up for debate!
