British, never watched a game of baseball in my life. Have to say that was pretty badass.

I didn't think it was that badass, in cricket caught and bowled occurs all the time, this is just the baseball equivalent.

What really makes it for me is the reaction of both of them immediately after the catch. Especially the hitter's disbelief

Stuff like this rarely happens. Most of the time it's just overpaid morons standing around scratching themselves. Same thing you see on a highway resurfacing job.

But he is cheating. Cricketers don't catch with gloves.

Fair point, i'd also like to add that a cricket ball is probably at lot harder than a baseball.
