Americans will never understand the depth of knowledge that goes into cricket. For example, in cricket a seasoned veteran can look at the colour of the pitch and get a good idea about how the game will play out, which bowlers will perform best, which batsmen will struggle and on which time of day wickets will fall.
I havent even gotten started on tactics. In baseball the tactics consist of, "let's hit the ball hard lmao." The Pitchers tactic is "Ayyyy let's through the ball fast". Just put three fielders on the designated fielder positions, have so comically dressed dude to act as wicket keeper and fuck it senpai just scatterthe rest in the designated 90 degree hitting wedge to which the batsman is limited. Field placments do not mater at all because the batsmen is forced, by the rules of the game, to hit it at the fielders.
Want to use the pace of the ball to angle a finely placed glance? lol fuck off you have to whack it in the designated hitting wedge faggot. Want to play a defensive stroke to keep out a good ball? Too bad dickhead you can't choose to do that just whallop it you goof! There is absolutely no vairiety in the game, no situational decision making required of the batsmen and no aspect of sustained mental fortitude.
All the nuances of the gentleman's game will never be understood by "lowest common demoninator" baseball fags who are more interested in how many toppings they can fit on their hotdogs, or how many roids they can put in their mexicans, than anything to do with their game. Baseball has about as much subtlety as american music, that is to say none at all.

Cricket is an ultimate game of skill.
In baseball you literally get a huge novelty sized padded and webbed catching glove, the ball soft and squishy and it is not even allowed to bounce!
In cricket you can unironically murder a batsmen without breaking a single rule. In baseball if you so much as through the ball anywhere outside of the batsman's designated swinging arc he doesn't even have to face another bowl, he just walks (walks) away and is spared from future embarrassment because some japanese dude didnt throw him a waste high full toss pie two feet outside off.
That's right, in baseball there is a pre-arranged bowl that inevitably is thrown every single fucking time. You can't bouce the ball (taking spin and seam completely out of the equation). You cannot change the angle of delivery. You cannot bowl boucer yorker combos. You cannot work on the bowl for half a day until it starts reverse swinging. There are no off cutter slow balls, there are no googlie wronguns there are no flippers or skidders or chinamen. Just full tosses outside off every single fucking ball.
Finally, and this is the clincher, the batsman unironically gets three chances. If you are playing in your back yard against your seven your old niece bowling heat you may just give her a second chance if you get her out first bowl, but otherwise in cricket you make one tiny error your day is over. In baseball, you can fuck up and the umpire is like "lmao take it back you can have two more goes at that."

Lol, baseball fans and cricket fans arguing which is the better "sport".
It's like people arguing what tastes better between shit and vomit.
Both of your "sports" are a joke.

Cricket is the retarded cousin of baseball invented when a bunch of inbred brits took a trip to france, saw baseball, then completely butchered the sport on the return home.
I can just imagine them explaining the rules now. "Well you take the stick...then hit the ball...and uh...." And thus cricket was born. Every element of this "sport" comes off like kids making up shit in the backyard. The crowd even reacts late to shit happening because they don't even know what's going on.
Then to make matters worse, the game literally takes months to finish. How does a ruleset thicker than a D&D manual completely avoid creating a reasonable win condition? How does one even begin to learn cricket? Pic related, you need a primer in calculus to step on the damn field.
What about the sheer amount of equipment involved? This is not a sport that can be played as a pickup game. You need months of preparation and massive coordination for a friendly game of cricket.
tl;dr: Cricket is the tryhard retarded cousin of Baseball reserved for polofags too pussy to ride a horse
