Q: Where cricket and baseball meet
Cricket and baseball have evolved very differently but even now they still meet up on occasion
The ball is thudding into the glove. One of the faster bowlers in the world is steaming with a wicketkeeper behind the stumps. Except you might have noticed I said glove, not gloves. The keeper or I suppose catcher, is Dave Nillson from the Milwaukee Brewers. In his last year in Major League Baseball would be an All-Star. The bowler was World Cup winner Craig McDermott.
Both were Australians and happened to share the same agent.
Nillson asked to take a few in the nets from McDermott, standing a metre back from the stumps, pouching balls cleanly from McDermott off his full run. In those nets, Nillson also showed McDermott a new delivery. The split-finger slower ball.
McDermott used it as his slower ball variation for a while, but Glenn McGrath perfected it. Even using it in Tests until batters started to work it out better.
If McGrath was Australia's greatest seam bowler, Fred Spofforth was their first great.
