 * Speedy keep. A notable comparison to make, given baseballs roots from leading American cricket clubs and cricketers. The article already has some references, it's these types of articles which could easily reach FA one day due to the sheer abundance of sources. Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 19:24, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - There are a number of references already in the article and plenty of sources describe at least some aspects of comparisons between the 2 sports. For example       .  So WP:V is not an issue, and any WP:OR can be addressed via editing. Rlendog (talk) 16:25, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
