Baseball bats weigh the same if not more a a cricket bat and take way more strength and power to swing than poo in the loo (((athletes))) have
Jonathan Ortiz
no they dont

I agree it's a good workout but it's incredibly asymmetrical. Some days after taking a few hundred cuts my right lat would be sore and my left tricep. And I didn't work my obliques evenly due to the nature of the swing. There are many, many more beneficial things to do if you're concerned with strength
David Brooks
Your swing probably sucked. A good swing uses every muscle equally
Carson Evans
What’s the name of the batter in OPs video? He’s got a real good swing
Dominic Peterson
That's just fucking false. Cricket bats are least half a pound to a full pound heavier. Also cricket originated from England you dunce.
Caleb Miller
A wooden bat is generally 2-2.5+ pounds you fucking idiot
Robert Martinez
Maybe in the past. Now it's around 31-36 oz Cricket bats are 39-48 oz
Sachin tendulkar's (one of the best batsmen ever) bat was 1.54kg
Grayson Edwards
You half swing a cricket bat and full swing a wooden bat
Benjamin Peterson
>I've literally never played cricket
William Jenkins
Baseball isn't gay enough for me so I do BJJ.

But that’s wrong. A swing is asymmetric in nature and you need to balance it out.
Benjamin Perez
i play cricket and ran into similar issues in highschool; throwing and bowling so much with my right arm without gym work or balancing led to injuries all over my body.
i now do throwing practice with both hands and gym work to prevent muscle imbalances
Luis Nguyen
you're partially correct, most cricket shots are not with a full swing, compared to baseball where most shots are a full swing.
when trying to score quickly however, there are shots played that require a full swing; most resembling either a baseball or golf swing, depending on whether the bat is vertical or horizontal.
Ryan Lee
A pull, drive and sweep are all full swing you retarded burgerclap. There are also shots which are between swing for the fences and dont swing at all, unlike brainlet ball.
Caleb Reed
>itt: brainlets who have never played baseball in their life

Adding to this. The grip on a cricket bat makes it more difficult to swing relative to both strength and skill
T. Someone who played both for a while. Also australia so a bunch of other random ass sports.
