 Topic: Most Painful Moment on a cricket pitchPosted: 17 April 2007 at 12:04am |
|
I just wanted to know what is the most painful moment you've ever had on a cricket pitch?
Mine was a shattered bone in my foot whilst batting. A fast bowler put in a yorker that hit me on the top of the foot. I've never felt such pain in my life. He may as well have dropped an anvil on my foot.
Plus the torture of not being able to play cricket for nearly a year was hell. The surgery I could deal with but I had to just sit and watch cricket instead of playing it.
I now have a metal plate in my foot.
So, What are yours?

I have been pretty lucky - a bruised wrist is the worst i have had during preseason nets.

I think mine was when I ripped the muscle in the back off my leg off the bone. I didn't get an operation though (and I don't know why) so instead it took about 10 months to heal.
This is going to be a cheery thread....

I was hit straight in the gonads while fielding at short mid on. The umpire asked if I wanted to leave the field. I was more content to lie on the pitch for twenty minutes, not moving, not making any sound.

Even though ive been hit on the head with no helmet, had my thumb nail nearly ripped clean off, my most painful moment actually came from diving to make my ground from a quick single. Took the skin off all my underarms, my chest, stomach and some of my thighs. Taught me a valuable lesson, never dive on a pitch.

Well I once got hit in a match at school. The box (too small) had slipped and I ended up with one inside, one outside, and the edges of the box weren't padded. That was eye-watering for quite a few minutes. But the worst one was probably 2 years ago where I was fielding close-in and stuck my hand out to a tracer bullet. The ball bent my finger in directions it wasn't designed to go and I went to casualty next day but no fracture was seen on the X-rays. On the other hand, my finger was agony for 6 months and painful for nearly a year after the event. It was still sore at the start of the next season!

This actually didn't happen to me but a couple of weeks ago at the first grade grand final, our boys were struggling chasing 173 and were down to 8/123. In came this chap (Jonesy) who smacked the first couple for four and edged the next couple to the fence. Our boys got to 8/156 when he got struck in the face with ball (no helmet).
Blood was coming from his nose and his eye started to swell but he kept batting trying to win our first trophy in first grade for 7 years. Unfortunately the bloke up the other end was dismissed the next over 9/162. Then Jonesy came on strike and lasted 3 balls and was bowled and we were dismissed for 165. I would have rather seen the boys go down by 80 than 8.
The young fella who was struck has fractured his nose, cheek bone and eye socket and requires re constructive surgery. And all too no evail.....The beauty of cricket!

^ re-constructive surgery
Most painful moment for me was being hit on the the big toe by the bowling machine, i was 15 but braved it out to carry on batting, but just as i was recovering i got hit again in the same spot. Bravery gone stupidity i carried on batting and lightening struck for the third time. My big toe was in agony. The nail of the big toe had flipped up and it was bloody. A few hours later i felt a really sharp pain and looked down to see that it had gone back into its flat position. Needless to say i wasnt moving my feet to well when i next batted.

I've been pretty lucky injury wise. My most painful moment was probably being hit in the ribs by a quick bowler, but still yet to sutain an injury which is good.

MY WORST MOMENT WAS DISSLOCATING AND BRAKING MY FINGER IN 3 PLACES. I DID THIS FIELDING AT SLIP, THE BALL CAME HARD AT MY RIGHT HAND AND IT BENT MY FINGER RIGHT BACK. IT WASN'T THE PAIN THAT HURT IT WAS THE FACT I DROPPED THEIR BEST BATSMEN WHO WAS ON 45*.

Look to your left, thats right, if you see a D carry on going, see and A your almost there, next to that there is a key called "Caps Lock" I recommend you press it.

My worst moment was when I saw a boy I thought was a special friend walking around the boundary. I waved to him, and he didn't wave back. I was upset for weeks.

Bet it doesn't hurt as much as dislocating and breaking your finger, though.

I live in the desert and we have a lot of cactus and other bushes that have poisonous needles. The team was practicing and the batsman hit it into a cactus on the last ball of the over. I went up next to bowl and grip the ball. Only when I release it do i realize that the barbs on the end of the cactus needles had lodged into the ball, which when I pick it up, went into my thumb. Needless to say, I didn't practice or grab anything for the next few days due to a bright red, swollen thumb.

On my debut, not a bad hit but my only one to date. I got a leg bye and because of the adrenaline i barely felt it, but after the match my entire thigh was yellow and it seized up after so i couldn't walk well, very bad dead leg !!
