But you don't believe what was said five paragraphs later? :-)

"Baseballs and cricket-balls seem to be pretty much the same in hardness
and 
dimensions, both are leather covered cork and about 5inches across. Both
are 
about 5oz - cricket balls are slightly heavier. Both are regularly
propelled 
at over 90mph. Both can be hit over a hundred yards into the outfield."
