Although I know next to nothing about baseball I'll try. In cricket there are 'stumps' or 'wickets', the batsmen has to defend these, if they are hit by the bowl thrown by the 'bowler' during a 'bowl' then he is out. A batsmen can also be out if he is caught (like in baseball), runout, or by l.b.w which will take hours to explain. In a test macth which takes place over 5 days each team has 2 innings which consits of 10 wickets (10 batsmen to be got out). the score is counted by how many times the 2 batsmen run beetween the wickets, therefore if you crack the ball a mile it will give you more time to run (like in baseball fielders collect the ball). 'runs' (points) can also be gained if the ball reaches the 'boundray' a rope which encircles the pitch, 4 runs if it passes and 6 if it passes without bouncing. Finally bowlers bowl overs (6 bowls) before swapping.

Other big differences - in cricket you can hit the ball in any direction, baseball only in a quadrant (plus foul territory). In cricket you don't have to run if you hit the ball, in baseball you do have to run.
