From what I could see on the video I'd say it was a pretty fair compaison.  Sure,

the bowling wasn't that difficult; but then the pitching didn't seem too hard either,

and Thya looked like he had more trouble with baseball pitching than Reynolds

did with the bowling.  One thing, however, stands out like a sore thumb:  

tremendous potential  cricket talent with the baseballers of this country and,

as I've said for years, this is what the USACA should be trying to tap into.  Instead, they're still

scrounging around for banana boaters.

I think the PR was good; however slightly tainted.  With respect to the game, CRICKET requires much more skill, agility and presence of mind than Baseball does.  There are so many other dimensions and fine nuisances that further speak to the complexity and level of difficulty when playing the game; not to mention trying to figure out what Billy Bowden is doing on any given day, or trying to figure out Duckworth Lewis for that matter.  American TV has not changed.  It is ratings driven, propaganda related and very misleading.  They should stick to comparing  apples with apples, or more keenly put, trying to figure out how the Yankees and Mets can justify building brand new stadiums in the middle of a recession, bankrolling players who are not performing...and then asking the average American taxpayer to subsidize their nonsense! HOWZAT!

Yes, it was fair, but it was lopsided. Here's what I mean: in baseball, it's hard to score and easy to get out (thus the plethora of exciting 3-2 games). In cricket, the reverse is true - it's easy to score runs and difficult to get out (which is why a batter might go for hours without being dismissed).

So, if you compare batting in the two sports, the sport that's designed to be high scoring will look easier - when viewed from the batter's perspective.

Now, let's flip the comparision around.

What if Fox had compared bowling to pitching to determine which was easier? In that case, pitching would appear to be easier.

So which sport is easier? I guess it depends on whether you're batting or throwing.
