I mean they would still be terrible games, but think about it, in cricket there are only 2 guys who are doing anything at any one point, the bowler and the batter, the other 20 guys are either doing nothing, or next to nothing. Same really with baseball.

So why not just turn them into individual sports?

The real things that make up cricket interesting are little things like clever field placements, batting order, smart bowling changes, chaos and confusion in the field in exciting circumstances and the biggest of them all the mental strength to outsmart the opposition with tactics. It is less a game of reflexes and more of tactics, intelligence and exploiting weakness of those who are not mentally strong.
