In the English speaking world, cricket and baseball are among the most fiercely loved spectator sports, even if they are sometimes very difficult to explain to the rest of the world. In fact, though the two sports are very similar, fans of baseball don't always understand the language of cricket, and fans of cricket don't always understand the language of baseball. Why? Because baseball is from the US and cricket is from the UK.
