haha... that indian guy was my old servant.. watch?v=-naY95teWO0 . watch this bowling.. this is called bowling. not throwing mangoes !!

[roccoson621]

God some americans are retarded

[xxxricky]

,,,and these McDonald munching retards think that THEIR result is conclusive? First off, midget Indians watching cricket on tv does not qualify them as legit cricketers Secondly that is NOT how the cricket ball is 'bowled'... they were attempting to 'pitch' the cricket ball, same way as the americans were pitching the baseball... Now how about seeing how well these baseballers do with some legit cricket bowling action against real cricketers who actually play organised competitive cricket!

Finish:! Don't like cricket and vice versa, for obvious reasons, so why compare!! P.s. rugby rules

[MrGareth1980]

They are completely different sports that you can't compare; you throw a hard ball at someone with a bat and that's about it. Cricket (especially with all it's formats) is much more diverse and tactical, you can't question that. I love cricket but understand why people do baseball, but the differences are so massive you can't seriously compare the sports. Obviously the main debate here is speed, at the highest professional level there may not be much in it, but let's be honest, 99% of baseballe

wtf does aroldis chapman have to do with this video. to be honest search this guy up and this man is one of the dangerous pitchers in the majors. HE THREW 105 MPH AND THE FATASS IN THIS VIDEO IS THROWING LIKE 88 MPH. THATS NOTHING. but still i say chapman is not dangerous when you put shoib akther not bending his arm and bowling 100 mph.

[DeanWhipper]

Lets see a baseballer pitch at 100mph without bending his arm

@timbocaff86 true

[MrECC83]

I'm a great fan of cricket, but honestly? Indian bowlers? India has a long history of producing medium pace bowlers, not fast bowlers. At least get some Pakistanis or Australians.

@townsvillefield ..Then there's the difference in the weights of the balls to consider, but you are right, with the batters/batsmen moving forward and back, and the pitcher/bowlers lunging over the mound or crease there is not too much difference. This video is indicative of the appalling ignorance many Americans have of all things non-American. Considering how easy it is to learn what how real bowlers bowl, they should be ashamed. All the best.

[townsvillefield]

@TheMortalhuman Yeah, unless he bowls a full toss, or it's Malinga bowling.

And the batsman can leave the crease if he wants.

There is no rule requiring the ball be bounced either, as you're obviously aware.

in the end there is not a lot of difference. Either way, this video is a laughing stock.
