Cricket player dies after ball strikes gap in helmet

[CHL]

I played until my early 20s, only been hit in the helmet about three/four times over the years, but that shyt rocks you, got hit on the ear guard attempting a similar shot to Hughes and was dizzy as fukk.

Is this in the US man? Do they have minor leagues over there? or another country?

Nah, St. Lucia and Trinidad

I know the US has some community leagues, though, mainly Indian, Pakistanis and West Indians

I used to coach a baseball team years ago at this big park and a bunch of Indian guys would play on the baseball fields in a league or something. No one knows what the hell cricket is in America though. I watched them play once or twice but I didn't understand it.

It seemed cool though I'll have to check into it.

R.I.P to Phillip Hughes, my heart also goes out to Sean Abbott it was an accident but that will mean nothing to him.

Right. Cuz cricket is one of the more dangerous sports

Much More Dangerous than Baseball

Trying facing just 70 mph from a machine and come back and talk

Cricket balls are 3x harder than baseballs

R.I.P.

Them cricket balls hard as fukk!

 

[Xerces]

R.i.p to the guy. I personally don't know how hard a crickett ball is, but I use to play baseball and I hit in the calf with a fastball and after the season stopped playing. In my head it made no sense why a ball that hard was coming at you that fast

I haven't watched cricket in ages but now that I'm seeing it again I realised it's a pretty funny sport.

This one shows a number of "bouncers". If any of these hit you without protection, you are done. It's as if a rock is hurling towards you at an unbelievably fast speed.

They used to pay with no helmets on up until the 1980's. And they used to bowl arguably faster. Hitting the batsmen is seen is a positive and encouraged

In the body line series there was a entire series dedicated to pitching at the body
