[edit] lead and sections
This article needs either a good lead or a reordering with Cricket and Popular Culture preceding Baseball, because there is so much baseball. --P64 17:37, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- I think baseball should remain first, because it was a baseball term first and cricket borrowed it - just as in the batting average article, cricket comes first because baseball took the term from cricket. Really what we need is more text in the cricket section, but that might be tricky because it's often hard to decide whether such-and-such a batsman is a pinch-hitter. Maybe a short discussion of Jayasuriya's batting in the 1996 World Cup would be useful, since that's where a lot of cricket fans (eg me!) first came across the term used in this way.

- Okay, I've now written a quick paragraph about Jayasuriya, as well as making a couple of minor changes to the first para - for example, stressing that unlike in baseball, a cricket pinch hitter is not a substitute. Loganberry (Talk) 14:03, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Clean-up
This is a late addition to the talk page, but I did some clean-up ont his article, tabled the records section for better organization. --Lendorien 14:35, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
