For all you Americans out there, this is the sport of cricket. A sport where people wear more protective equipment than hockey goalies yet still can be killed playing.

shiit this is sad man. Huge respect for the outfielders who have to catch these balls with their bare hands. not to mention that guy who stands behind the wickets and pounces on any loose balls. must be dangerous as fuck

>>63381175
then shouldn't american football stop being legalized due to the increasing number of deaths
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyt2vd0Za4kIt >It was all a bit of a fast-bowler's joke at the time but, as Brian Lara lay dazed on the pitch, the words of Shoaib Akhtar must have felt a little more sinister. "I'm going to kill you," he had said with a smile as the West Indies captain walked out to bat.
>One 148kmh missile onto the back of Lara's neck later and the ground held its breath. The Trinidadian spent two minutes lying flat on his back while he received treatment before clambering to his feet and groggily retiring hurt.

>In the 1992 Wellington Test, Lawrence's patella bone shattered in the middle of his delivery stride. The injury literally ended his career and he had to retire at 29.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW3zpVvoCTM
>Mark Boucher didn't put on his helmet while keeping to leg-spinner Imran Tahir. When Tahir dismissed one of the batsmen bowled, the ball hit Boucher's left eye. The retina was damaged which ended Boucher's promising 15-year international career.
>>63381225

>Young England quick Simon Jones faces at least six months away from cricket after his eventful but ultimately devastating Ashes debut at the Gabba yesterday.
>Jones was resting in his Brisbane hotel room last night with a serious knee injury after a sickening incident during the first day of the first Test against Australia. The 23-year-old ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee when he fell to the ground trying to prevent a Ricky Ponting drive reaching the long-on boundary.
>Jones's left knee dug into the Gabba surface and his right knee then hyperextended, leaving the Welshman in agony just 16 minutes into the second session.
>>63381254
it hit him just below the helmet on the back of the neck
I got chlamydia from a mean game of crabcock no joke its a pretty dangerous sport imo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMzwGAkhJLk
>The man with the crab-like batting stance told how he could not feel his hands and feet after crumpling to the ground when struck on the back of the helmet by a Lee bumper when he had scored 86.
>"I did not know where I was. My entire body went numb," Chanderpaul said.
>"I could not move my hands and I could not move my feet. However I told myself if I left the field we would have been in a bad state."
>Brain scans in hospital cleared Chanderpaul of serious injury but his courage, with his wife crying in the grandstands, set the tone for the Calypso fightback.

>England's Alex Tudor had to be carried off the field on a stretcher after the fast bowler was felled by a rocket fast delivery from the Australian speedster Brett Lee in the 3rd Test match at the WACA Ground in Perth on December 2, 2002. The tail ender Tudor was struck by the delivery as he appeared to have taken his eyes off the lighting fast delivery approaching him, eventually hitting him through the helmet grille above his left eye

>Zimbabwe's Mark Vermeulen had a freak injury when he was struck above the eye by an Irfan Pathan delivery during his team's VB Series encounter against India in Brisbane January 2004. The batsman retired hurt as the ball got stuck in his helmet and the batsman fell on the ground. The player was arrested in August 2006 on charges of setting fire to the offices of the Harare Sports club. It is believed that the former Test player was cleared two years later on the grounds that he was suffering psychiatric problems and partial epilepsy as a result of the blow

not quite the same without that hilarious scream
>Zimbabwe bowler Keegan Meth suffered a laceration to the lower lip and lost four upper teeth as he couldn't find time to react as Bangaldesh batsman Nasir Hossain hit a ball straight back at the bowler.
>Nari Contractor was India's captain during the 1962 West Indies tour. During a tour game, one of the deliveries from Charlie Griffith hit Contractor on the head, proving almost life threatening. Several operations later, he recovered his health but not his form. He never played for India again.
