Cricket and Baseball: A Shared History

A new exhibition at Lord's looks at the history of cricket and baseball, highlighting their similarities and comparing their development. The BBC website has a five minute audio slide show of some of the exhibition's main attractions, and which brings to mind Ed Smith's fascinating book, 'Playing Hardball' which explored this ground further, and which can be highly recommended to fans of either sport, or anyone who is curious about the way that different sporting cultures evolve.
