Cute Cricketers

It's cricket season here in Australia, so I've decide to feature some of my favorite cricketers.

The sport of baseball evolved from cricket, so the games aren't that different. I personally prefer cricket over baseball. If a batsman is good enough, he can play a full innings. Test match cricket is too daunting for the uninitiated but 20/20 cricket (limited overs) is a good starting point. Those matches are usually quicker and more exciting than baseball, I think.

The action of bowling is pretty dramatic. The bowlers run at in and use their full body to launch the ball.

Cricket balls are very hard, so all that padding is necessary to protect the batsman. Injuries from being struck by balls are still common.
