 Topic: Most Painful Moment on a cricket pitchPosted: 15 April 2008 at 10:37am |

i was playing Open cricket for my school on a concrete pitch, i was only 14 coming up against a 17yo fast bowler, he put in a bouncer, i ducked, it kept low, BANG right in the ribs. I only had a bruise for a day but the pain was enormous. I got out next ball, i got mad at him and tried to play a ful blooded cover drive and i edged it to slip . |

I swing both ways - but only when I'm bowling!

Emotional moments can sometimes be the most painful. 99 wouldn't be the worst though, I'd say dropping an important catch would be. Luckily this has never happened to me

i have had many painful experiences i will rank them
5) getting hit on the chin fielding at short leg
4) as a juniour trying to pull a full toss and missing it getting hit in the stomach winded me quite badly.
3) breaking most off my fingers taking diving catches, maybe i shud change my technique might of been easier than re shaping my entire hand.
2) getting hit at the bottom of the box trapping my nether regions against the box, nearly thru up and past out, horrible feeling.
1) got to be getting caught out down the legside off the glove on 99 that was gut renching. Edited by hanif - 08 January 2008 at 11:01pm |

Actually In the professional level, Netball has the most injuries, probably 90% are hamstrings and ankles though. Think about it, running and then stopping sharply on an asphalt ground? your bound to strain something.
No I haven't watched Hurling, and by the sounds of it I don't want to. Edited by Niv! - 25 December 2007 at 11:45am |

You've never watched a Hurling match then. That's like lacrosse but a hurley is stronger than a lacrosse stick and the game is more viscious.

in terms of injuries, netball gets the most, but Lacrosse has to be the most dangerous I've seen

That was lucky. So only difference between my bowl and his ball was that mine was a bouncer while his was a beamer.
After reading this thread, I have to ask that is cricket the most dangerous sport. |

One time I was practicing and my uncle was batting and this guy was bowling who by the way is probably the most wayward bowler I've ever laid eyes on. He sent down a fast beamer that passed my uncles nose. Only daylight could have fitten between the ball and his nose. He was pretty damn lucky that day!

I have been hit on my b**ls by a medium pace bowler as I wasn't wearing my guard. Once I was bowling fast and the other guy wasn't wearing a helmet or pads and I sent a bouncer down his head. It was not intended and the ball just passed by his head by a inch or two. Next ball he straightaway went and wore the helmet along with pads and gloves. But he was so nervous, I bowled him next ball.

Just reading back about some of y'all experience about getting hit on the thigh and it's painful indeed. I've been struck there many a times before by decent paced bowlers! I wasn't wearing any gloves one time in practice and got hit on the knuckle and it got fractured!

I've also been lucky not to have anything more serious, I took two consecutive pace hits to the same knuckle, my whole hand went numb and I nicked it to the keeper next ball.

By reading some of the posts in this thread about people getting hit in the head without a helmet, how can you not wear one? You're surely going to regret it when you get hit there one day.

I was at deep square leg and the batsmen skied a pull high up and as it came down my middle finger got stuck and as the ball landed into my hand, my finger got crushed behind it. I hung on and as I was running in celebrating the wicket I suddenly felt the pain. It took about 6-7 weeks for it to heal

While in the nets the other day my little bro used my brand new Newbery ball. He bowled an inswinger at a decent pace and it just swung and thundered into my thigh. Pretty painful.

I was batting and a fast bowler bowled a yorker or very full lenght ball, i made a half dead movement forward and attempted a flick shot on the full which i missed completely on got hit right on the joint where my ankle and foot meets and the pads was very short so there wasn't any protection there.
Very Next ball bowl by a guy many consider as the fastest on the island, very much the same ball as the last one, i attempted an on drive on the full which i missed completely and got hit the same spot.
I couldn't walk for a couple fo seconds but gived up my bat right away and later on my ankle was swollen but not much pain.
But thats life with cricket.
