Agree with your general point, but want to add here that cricket puts of a lot of statistical emphasis on the venue, and order of innings too.



Baseball stadium effect is studied hugely still and in most complex calculations taken into account in some way (usually as an offset for specific traits or types of hits or plays).

Batting order is thought of to mostly be figured out mathematically at least now. In cricket, if you are talking about 20-20, I expect that to be the case too. If you are talking about match, then I'm not sure.

I'm curious what similarity there is in pitch / bowling selection. That is just starting to get looked at in baseball now.
