Bat-and-Ball Sports covers the bowl-and-bat structure of baseball and cricket, while Hockey Codes covers stick-and-goal sports.
Bat-and-Ball Sports covers team sports such as baseball and cricket, in which one side bats a ball delivered by the other side to score runs, built on a bowl-or-pitch and bat-and-run structure. Hockey Codes instead covers stick-and-ball or stick-and-puck team sports scored by driving the ball into a goal, so a sport belongs in Bat-and-Ball Sports only if it follows the delivery-and-batting structure rather than the stick-and-goal one.
