Not sure if anybody has ever managed to excel at both sports but this is supposed to be a very good book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Playing-Hard-Ball-Cricket-Baseball/dp/0349116660 although it is as much about the cultural differences between the two sports (and therefore about America and cricket playing countries).

North California cricket association: https://www.facebook.com/NCCA4Cricket/ I feel like I am turning into an internet stalker. Honestly mate, if you get the chance then give it a go. The plane that you swing the bat is totally different, the mental requirements are different. Rugby and American Football are always compared with both sides ultimately ending up saying 'ours is better...because it is'. You might be great at cricket, you probably wouldn't be (and that is ok because neither are 99.9% of the rest of the people who like the game) but I would leave off using words like 'awesome', 'easier' and 'crush' until the first time you stand there at the crease with somebody running in who is happy to either hit the wicket or you with a ball that can break your ribs.

An ex cricketer (and superb writer) did, he wrote a book as well. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Playing-Hard-Ball-Cricket-Baseball/dp/0349116660

Ed Smith, county cricketer who also played 3 Tests for Engand, wrote a book talking about comparing and contrasting his experiences with the Mets and English cricket. You might find it interesting: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Playing-Hard-Ball-Cricket-Baseball/dp/0349116660
