i’ve seen far too many people say that baseball requires more athleticism than cricket because you apparently don’t have to run in cricket 😭

I've thought of doing this same quiz because I follow both sports, and played both when I was younger. In cricket players do slide in bat first to reach the crease sometimes so as not to be run out, but not nearly as often as in baseball. Also, test cricket is played with a red ball, but one day and T20 cricket is played with a white ball, and sometimes day/night matches in test cricket will even use a pink ball. I was surprised that a cricket ball was smaller. I'm pretty sure a cricket ball is harder and heavier. I've been hit by both and they both hurt a lot, but a cricket ball hurts more. Great quiz.
