>>this sort of error by a batsman ( letting the ball hit the
bat and glance backwards) can result in an out if the ball is caught by the slips.<<
in baseball, this sort of "error" by a batter can result in an out if caught by any fielder. I emphasize error because the 'pitch' may be basically unhittable, in terms of putting it efficaciously into play, and a skillful batter may purposely 'foul' it off (if he already has two 'strikes') to prolong his 'at bat'.
I think that we should all just agree that cricket and baseball are different.
