No, calling someone a liar isn't posting a 'passionate' view at all.

No, the rest of us aren't going to bother agreeing or disagreeing with your tennis shoe quote as we have better things to talk about.

You're both as bad as each other, and I'll remind you that you've both already been given warnings for being abusive and aggressive, so I'd advise you to steer clear of each other if you want to hang around here.

When i was playing cricket and the bat broke.

anyways i remember one time batting as a opening batsmen and i got a yorker and i defended it somehow the shock traveled from the bat up through my arm and i had to let go of the bat so i can wave my hand around to ease the pain so i let go of the bat and by accident i flung it back in to my own wicket and got out for 5!!!

the worst i have had is

but the guy at the other end was a tailender. The bowling must have been truly shocking if you could score even with delayed reactions. You must have had a terrible captain too, I would have declared. However, I think it's just 1 terrible liar here.

The worst batting experience iv'e had was that i was 2 runs away from from my century and i ran the first one hard when it came to the second one i saw the fielder and he played quite slow so i thought i might aswell take the second because my partner was a tail ender and the ball must of slipped from the fielder's hand and came flying on to my lower neck were the helmet wasn't covering i felt like collapsing but i kept on thinking of my century i made it to the crease but then blacked out for about half a minute before having my partner splash some water on me!!!most of all i made my century and after abit of treatment i carried on to make 203* (not out)but still i was thriving in pain

I broke my arm trying to beat a beamer out of the ground a few years back - entirely my fault, played early and over it and it crashed into my right arm, breaking it just below the elbow.

My bat got a huge crack in it when I was batting in the nets, but i wanted a new one anyway so I wasn't too annoyed.

Probably in a 40-over club match with my team chasing 169 to win, I was on 31 from around 45 balls and we needed 16 runs to win from 3 overs with 2 wickets in hand, I decided then to go and hit 2 fours and a 3 from the third to last over taking me to 42 from around 50 balls so we then needed just 5 to win from the remaining 2 overs. From the first ball of the penultimate over (I'm left-handed) their bowler bowled a yorker at leg stump, I sensed it and jumped to my right so I could play a shot on the off-side. I swung my bat back and heard a crunch. I'd hit my own stumps, and not the ball. And then to make it worse we then lost by 2 runs, I felt like I'd let down my team because I could've defended the shot instead of going for the big shot.

On a strip of mud (susposedly a pitch) I was of course not wearing a helmet because of the pitch condition, got a fuller length ball. Wham, it hit something, just bounced straight up and got me in the head. Luckily it was only a medium pacer. Had a slight headache but nothing serious.

Originally posted by spin wizard I got hit under the eye while batting. A creeper came and hit the stumps and then I looked around and it hit me under the eye and left it black and blue for a week.

Why weren't you wearing a helmet u muppet!

getting hit in the eye with anything hurts, I got hit in the eye with a
squashball, the first time I played without goggles! and that hurt.

sorry, I apologise, ouch that would have hurt!
