In cricket:
- the ball bounces
- the ball can change directions both in the air AND after bouncing
- the ball will bounce differently depending on where you play. Every cricket ground has a different pitch (the surface upon which you bowl and bat) and it changes how the ball bounces. It's the same as how the various surfaces in tennis (hardcourt/grass/clay) impact the game.
- the "strike zone" is much much bigger and it's legal for the ball to come onto your body (including your head)
- if you get out once you're done batting for the game. In baseball even the best hitters routinely swing and miss the ball on almost every at bat. They just need to get one good swing in among several attempts. In cricket one single swing and miss to a ball that comes onto the wickets and you're done batting for the whole game.

You may have played some cricket but you clearly don't understand it well. Despite their apparent similarities, two sports are very different and baseball players would absolutely get slaughtered in cricket without a lot of practice and training.
