You missed the point. It also said that saying that Cricket is easier and doing it do not match. Because bowlers in cricket have got many options and they really make it more difficult for batsmen in cricket than pitchers do in Baseball to batters.
The dude literally said it is easier to make contact in cricket but hard to hit for skill which is what I said. Haha

hard to hit for skill
Yes and that makes Cricket harder. There are more and more things that come into play while playing Cricket, be it batting or bowling.
But Baseball was just copied to make it shorter and removing many skills and playing conditions.

Yes but you can get one point for not hitting for skill in cricket. In other words just staying alive. I guess the closest to that in baseball is a foul ball but your team doesn't gain anything from it. Therefore, while it might be hard to hit for skill, it is easier to hit overall because you don't need to do much to not get out. Also in cricket you can hit in any direction whereas in baseball you have to hit it within a field of play. It is much easier to defend a 90 degree field vs a 360 degree field, especially when you get a glove so a baseball hitter has much less margin for error to not produce an out.

Defense is also skill based technique. Because cricket has scope for both defense and offense it's a better game.
Case closed!!

I do think it is obviously harder to produce outs in cricket and defend a larger field. That doesn't make it a better game. Probably means they should fix the rules to give the defense a fair chance and not have teams scoring 200 plus points.
reply
No, it's part of the game and both teams get fair chance. Cricket is a game that needs adjustments, adaptability on every ball due to large measurements. Bowling unit has to be skilled better to stop batsmen scoring runs (points), if grounds are smaller, batsmen won't have much space to drive the ball in between and the part it brings running behind the ball would be hugely demoralised.
Not any complains regarding anything what you said, I think they should make it a 5 ball over to shorten the game by half an hour.
The Hundred is a competition in England where both teams only get to face 100 balls and anyone can ball anytime unlike traditional cricket where bowler has to bowl a complete over of minimum six balls.
