back in the 90's the was a government initiative to setup baseball as a sport in Malaysia.

i was in highschool then, and this program is not under school. it was direct under kementerian.

when i joined, there were already an earlier batch of kids who already went to Japan to study the sport.

the most challenging part is to be the pitcher. not everyone can be the pitcher.
everybody can throw balls, but not everyone can throw like a pitcher.
that time i was also playing softball for school.

then one fine day, the programme was scrapped, and it was replaced with lawn bowl. hahahaha.

test cricket take too long and very slow pace

limited over cricket like one day(50 overs) and 20/20 is much better to watch, finish in one day and fast pace

used to watch, Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar, Shane Warne..... old timer

Bcoz not all schools got budget to buy those bat and gears
Not even baseball available
The cheaper option is rounders with few cheap short stock, few balls, few cones
