Baseball criticised and a promise at Exqual Authority compares it with cricket
A Victorian critic argues that American baseball, praised for bustle and speed, contrasts with slower cricket. He acknowledges baseball merit and American advertising, questions the pace equality, and wonders whether adopting baseball in Britain would improve cricket skills or merely transfer cricket material to a baseball mold.
