Umm, no. Unless you mean fundamentals like don't drop the bat. Having played both sports competitively in school, I can tell you that many fundamentals of a good baseball hitting and good cricket batting are OPPOSITES of each other. Here's a quick sampling. 1. In baseball you're trying to hit pitches that are in the strike zone and are conditioned to leave pitches outside the strike zone. In cricket, you often don't try to hit hard the balls that are going to clatter into the wicket if you miss, but you will swing freely at balls that will miss the wicket. In short, baseball players swing at strikes and leave balls, whereas cricket players swing at balls but will be far more cautious swinging at strikes. In baseball terms, imagine that you're out if you swing and miss at a ball in the strike zone but you can defensively knock it aside (e.g., bunt it) without penalty, and you only get to bat once, so if you're out that's it for the whole game. 2. Baseball hitters try to put the ball in play, into a quarter circle (it's a 90 degree span between the baselines). Anything else is useless, and a foul ball. Conversely, because you can hit the ball in any direction to score in cricket, most runs are scored at angles that are foul balls in baseball. So, while cricket players are certainly capable of hitting the ball into places a baseball player would, they are often trying to hit "foul balls." 3. A good baseball swing usually has little foot movement and a clean swing plane through the zone with a mostly horizontal bat. Because you don't move the feet much at all, the angle of the bat and extension in the arms are varied to get to pitches at the corners. A good cricket batsman will act very differently. He'll move his feet (yes, even his back foot) quite a bit before and during the swing. The swing arc also varies a lot more. Arc, not plane, since the bat is largely vertical in cricket when contact is made. The batsman will also open or close his wrists to aim the ball off the bat, as well as aim the ball by intentionally swinging early or late. This last part is the only overlap I found between baseball and cricket. Having played cricket, it was a lot easier for me to hit a baseball to the opposite field.
