I'm pretty sure I've seen a few posts on here listing quite major injuries that will prevent or seriously limit that members ability to play this year. I wondered if we could have a roll call of these breakdowns so that we can all sympathise / offer advice /
get you to be our league umpires / blag some free coaching off you
I'll start the ball rolling:

Just recovering from double fractured elbow
Should be fit to play by April though hopefully
-
Broke my ACL (knee injury) in december 2016.. now i can only bowl using a Side arm :(
Probably take the whole 2017 to recover but i am able to bat now.
-
2 knee arthroscopies. (1 in each knee). Painful to run but think it's worth taking the pain killers and carrying on as I can't see it getting any better at my age.
Osteoarthritis.
15kg overweight
Bald and fat
Last one isn't an injury, just an affliction
-
Recovering from a blood clot on my left lung which unfortunately I am now on blood thinners for life but ha ho it won't stop me playing

I'm suffering from ingorged muffin tops and large swelling of the mid rift. But as tonight's kebab has foretold, this may be a life long problem........

This is @GeorgeB93 kind of thread!
-
No long can bang the ball in bowling or risk it again bowling on medical advice tore the inside of my knee landing in the delivery stride collapsed to the ground in pain couldn't walk.
-
Definitely carrying some of the "injuries" highlighted in this thread but I'm expecting a continuation of my "quick single itus" into next season in conjunction with obsessive compulsive cowing disorder.
I havn't been too well recently but with summer coming i think the "runs" should start to dry up.
-
Recovering from a grade three mcl tear
Left collar bone permanently set out of place because of calcification.
Im just gonna play anyway although im in the process of retiring from rugby.
-
Same as every year, my pride
-
Booked in for an ACL reconstruction and removal of dead cartilage. Originally booked in for 6th of march, pushed back to the 20th of march. Been on the waiting list for this op for 6 months.
During my recovery period I'll be heavily involved coaching and setting up an 'academy' of sorts for my local club.
Shame I won't be able to actually play 😞

At least you had one :D

Double knee ligament reconstruction 23rd Sept (9-12 months recovery.....specialist / physio says 12 I'm hoping on 9!) 😢
-
Rather fat and incredibly unfit.
That's more self inflicted than medial though :-[
-
Lot of knee injuries on here - were a lot of you altar-boys in your youth?
-
Left big toe black and blue, hit by a yorker in practice last year. The nail is still colo(u)red.

Must be hard to find for the doc to remove it ...lol

Bulging discs in lower back .
Scoliosis.
Rheumatoid arthritis in back , hands , feet , joints , neck .
Bone contusions in right knee /upper tibia .
Bone contusions , fluid , bone fragments , fractured patella , 1cm x 1.5cm cartilage tear , all in left knee . On waiting list for arthriscope /knee surgery .
Tennis elbow .
I use an arm sleeve for the tennis elbow . I have a brace for both my knees , and wear compression pants . I recently bought knee pads (basketball type) to help a bit when diving in the field . With all the 'crap' I wear some teammates have started calling me the 'bionic man' :) ;)

Jeeze this sounds like a roll call from saving private Ryan....anyone got trench foot ?

I've got one of them
My missus is pestering for me to get it looked at

No, it was due to it's sheer size. It took 2 doctors to remove it.

Nothing but admiration for you still playing with all that a good many would have been finished shows your enthusiasm for the game.

I've got a club foot had it from a catalogue

Sounds like the 6 Dollar Man.
We could rebuild him. But the budget only stretches to plasters.
-
My finger is still crocked from last years dislocation, one of those things I'll have to live and get on with.
Ankle also still an issue, again it's going to be a nightmare

Funny you say that.....ive gone through about 12 rollsof kinesiology tape this season - so I'm at least the $120 man !
....which reminds me , i forgot to add achilles tendonitis in both legs to the list ! Oh dear , its depressing when you list it all ! ;)
-

I already open , so no higher to go . Could always circle back round to 11 !

That actually means a lot more to me than anyone might realise . Sometimes its hard to keep going when you know your performance is never what it could or should be ( for example , until last year i always felt like a gun fielder , now i feel like a liability ; i can no longer front foot drive like i used to. I can't get my weight over my knee so i tend to drive at the top of the bounce now /punch over the infield/ drive with a straight front leg , or don't play the shot) . Its challenging to readjust your game to suit your injuries and ailments.
One thing that helps stay motivated .....I've got 14 bats , and i refuse to retire until I've used all of them for at least a season or two each ! :)
-
I have this pain in my neck for ages, it is a sort of nagging pain, playing cricket seems to irate it and it seems to flare up every time I buy a new bat. On the plus side she has put up with me for nearly 25 years, and makes the best Samosa, and it very beautiful

The key here is that although it's painful for you your still enjoying playing if you weren't with all of the above and more you Wouldn't do it. Also There's nothing wrong with re adjusting your game to suit your alments I was also a gun fielder but no longer are and sometimes feel a liability but. Then i remember I am still on the field playing and a good many better players than me have given up playing.

Oh yeah .....here's a good one : the 3rd grade keeper at my club dislocated his hip and shoulder in the same /first game of the season . He's not been to training since/ and according to the guys in 3's he's still in agony every week , but has managed to play (and captain) every game of the season so far ( this weekend is the last before finals , so he's almost got through the whole season ) .

That's commitment! Too many players pull out these days with minor ailments, we've become too soft (clearly not this thread ;)), but this guy is 'Rambo' Full respect!!!

These must be highly contagious as I'm also a sufferer
4 atheroscopies on the right knee since ACL ruptured in '95, atheritic now, will need a new joint sometime soon. I can take hope from one of the squad who's had 2 knee replacements and is still playing
-
Mallet 3rd finger on right hand and also damaged the ligaments on every finger, taking ages to heal but Ill be there (If picked)
-
I'm suffering from ingorged muffin tops and large swelling of the mid rift. But as tonight's kebab has foretold, this may be a life long problem........
Other than being fat, I now the proud owner of a broken knuckle after a crap attempt at catching the ball at our clubs nets. Thats me done for 5 or 6 weeks 🙁🙁🙁

I assume your misery was compounded by ridicule and a fine?

So week b4 last was my first winter net, it was painful to watch i am sure of that, I was so un fit and couldn't do much at all!
So my thoughts, I joined SlimmingWorld last Sat and thought I would do some training to not only aid my weight loss but also my fitness for playing this year. Next net last Sunday 10.30am, I thought it would be a good idea to join the circuits class that starts at 9.00 am, a nice warm up and fitness session for an hour b4 nets in the same gym, all going well, no bad idea 15 mins into the circuits I pull up with a pain in my right calf, seems I've torn a muscle.... now I'm hobbling around unable to walk properly let alone run!
Moral to this story, remember your age and don't be so bloody stupid, just go to nets..
-
Sorry to hear about your dilemma as you say rather than push it with age you need to manage what your body is capable of.

Yep , manage /know what you can do and what will risk injury .....
I do h.i.i.t every day (avoiding lunges though as it kills my knees) . I do about 200 crunches and ab exercise reps daily ( to help take load off my bad back) . I have a home gym and do 3 workouts a week , but only do heavy weights for some exercises, others i do calisthenics /body weight exercises instead . Lastly , i don't jog and don't do sprints ....i still know I'm fast enough but don't see any point risking further knee damage if i don't have to etc . To that end , next preseason , i won't be doing a lot of the same activities that the rest of the club will do , I'll be doing a lot of my own stuff and extra catching practice etc when the lads are jogging / sprinting / jumping around like mad young whippersnappers ! :)

Oh my God!!! How old is everyone in this thread?
I'm 45 (but 16 at heart and in the loins)
Listening to @Biggie Smalls you'd think he's 35 with the joints of a recently discovered dinosaur.
We all know that @Seniorplayer is the only member on here to have batted with Ranji
But how old are the rest of you crocks?
-
mid 30's and my back is (No Swearing Please)
didnt do anything specific to it but at the end of last season i was in trouble with it, didnt get any better and went to the doc before christmas, mri scan - bulging squashed disc in my lower back, painkillers and some talk about physio but not a lot they can do
constant low level pain and lack of flexibility was just coming to an end and had the odd day last week when i forgot about it, had a net last night and after batting it was painfull and then seized up for the first time, couldnt bowl and just about get up the stairs at home.. if that was a game i couldnt have fielded. now seriously worried this is going to limit what part i can play in this game i love.
last few months i've been swimming, running 5k couple of times a week and lost a stone with another half stone left to go in the hope this helps, which i think it has
i'm going to have to bite the bullett and get down to a yoga class at the gym and just booked an appointment with gp to get some physio
its weird as it was my 3rd net and didnt struggle as badly after previous 2, did miss a week last week though
bowling shoulder is also (No Swearing Please) and left me in agongy after first 2 session, ffs what am i going to be like in my 50's
#backblog
who else gets back problems with batting? anything i could think about in my stance to correct it - standing tall maybe?

I have arthritis in neck and back , scoliosis, and bulging discs in lower back.....I'm not familiar with batting without back pain .
I opened my stance ( for my neck ) .
For my back i widened my stance a bit , and instead of stooping over the bat /tapping ground, i air tap and stand tall . My trigger is to bend knees and stick my butt out a bit to get a lower position before delivery release point . It still allows my back to stay pretty straight and helps a lot with pain minimization, especially over a long innings .
-
good advice with the air tap and knee bend, wil give it a go
thinking about my net last night and i was really hunced over in my stance as facing some decent pace with lots of full balls and yorkers
i'm going to have to change the way i stand or really struggle

A good litmus test is a long net , or even better , a long bowling machine session . The quick time between deliveries really increases the pain levels in your back. You'll know when the changes you make in your stance are working....you'll be able to get through a long net/machine session and still feel half way reasonable /upright afterwards .
-
.....but , the best thing you can do for your back is do abdominal exercises until you can wash clothes on your abs !
-
Get a decent chiropractor
I'm lucky in that my missus can give me deep tissue massage etc
And that helps a lot
49!!! On Sunday ffs!
Looking forward to another season, can't wait
Show these youngsters how hard a cricket ball can be hit
-
Dislocated little finger and a snapped tendon in my thumb in early Jan, just leaving it & hoping for the best now.

49!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jesus you must use some skin product!!!
I'm 4 years younger and compared to you I look like Shrek's more haggard brother after a particularly bad paper-round!!
-
24 years old! Screwed my body with too much football, cricket, badminton etc etc pretty much every day from 11-21

Brucie, you are younger than me, care to guess by how much ;)
Im tall and always had tight hamstrings so tend to get a bit of back pain after every bowling session, i have to do lots of stretching and ibuprofen gel to ensure it doesn't seize up. I had an 18 year break from cricket starting in my 20s which probably saved my body from a lot of wear and tear, so hope to still be bowling for many more years.
-
I'm 41, at 30 I was beat up from continuous football, cricket, rugby and HITT training. From being a quick agile youngster, I moved around like an 80 year old in the outfield with more aches and pains than the local care home, knackerd knees and shoulders etc etc . Now I'm moving around better than I did in my teens :)
-
44, 2 shoulder reconstructions and horribly unfit

As you asked.....I stopped HITT and body building type isolation training. I stopped playing football, Rugby was ended for me when I got caught at the bottom of a collapsed ruck and folded in half, both shoulders touched (I was a winger).
I still wanted to train and be active so read a lot on how old time strength guys trained 'full body' (they had it right), I came across Kettlebells (and haven't looked back).
More recently I've started to learn how sitting down all day at work its making us immobile, we should be able to move freely and with purpose until the day we are buried, so I've started incorporating rolling and crawling in to my daily practice (takes 10-15 minutes every morning) and walking more.
Everyone can benefit from moving better (reflexive strength) check out https://originalstrength.net/ (https://originalstrength.net/) its so easy to do...start here!!!
If you are interested in other training (Kettlebells, Barbells, bodyweight) check out http://www.strongfirst.com/ (http://www.strongfirst.com/)
I'm not saying HITT is the devil, but it has to be used in the right way, as the name states its intensive and should be done for short periods e.g. weeks not months or years and only when you have a good strength base and no injury issues, also HITT gets bounded around when a lot of programmes aren't HITT.
There is saying in the S&C coaching circles that its easier to tire someone out than make them stronger (look at any boot camp), this is very true.

All the above is spot on advice from young stuey

As you asked
and a thank you. I'm stopped play footie and been desk bound for the last 4 years need to find something new to focus my energy. cheers :-)

Np, keep moving ;)

My trigger is to bend knees and stick my butt out a bit to get a lower position before delivery release point .
This reminds me of Eoin Morgan of a few years back when he developed that crackers trigger. But hey, if it works for you then stick by it!

My back swears by it .....but(t) if you want to see a stance with a real protruding posterior , watch Ian Healy batting - square leg was in danger with him around .
-
Broke my arm last night playing football, 6 weeks in full arm cast so I'll be surprised if I don't miss the whole season :(
-
Sorry to read this but hopefully depending on the break you might not be out all season once broke my arm six weeks before the start of the season had the plaster off after 8 weeks played my first match following physio the second Saturday in May.
-
Broken arm update:
I've done my left forearm (ulna), which is notorious for healing poorly. As a right handed bat it's not ideal! Hoping it knits well and no operation needed :(
-
knee cut open playing footy on Saturday morn. only 3weeks on ruches luckily. the gash was long and deep, 12 stitches needed
-
What I assume is tennis elbow, has made a re-occurrence again (a sharp pain in my elbow when I bowl or straighten my elbow). I'm sure 25 year olds aren't meant to suffer from tennis elbow? :(
-
It'll be a repetitive strain injury, @FattusCattus may be able to give advice :D
-
CHECK OUT MY BRUISE!!!! It covers my whole forearm, I look like an old lady who has fallen over!!!!

Arm guards knee guards shoulder pads come and join me in the new kit trend!!
Who needs a bat?

Blood test went rather wrong and there was a rather significant subcutaneous bleed!!

Going out onto the field next season i will feel like a geriatric gladiator! Knee pads , elbow pads , knee brace , skins tights , goggle style sports glasses , back brace ( only occasionally, when back is tooo far gone ) , kinesiology tape covering vast expanses of my legs , back , elbow .
Ive worked out that when i bowl i slip the knee pads down to my shins...feels better . Also , i will have to get used to taking off my elbow pads /giving to umpire each over during a spell....as a spinner who sometimes bowls 15-20 overs straight that will be a right pain in the proverbial !
-
All of this reminds me of a bloke i played cricket with for a couple seasons when i first started grade as a junior . We were in 5th grade and the teams spinner was a 62yr old fat guy who we called 'the judge' ( he was a barrister ) . He couldn't dive or even bend down to field the ball . He would wear soccer ( sorry English folk...football ) shin guards -the hard plastic type . Whenever having to field anything off his own bowling , or at gully when fielding , he just stuck out a leg and blocked the ball with a shin . Opposition batsmen would shudder and giggle when hearing the horrible , painful sounding , noise it made , not knowing that the judge's shins were well protected . I always looked at him and thought 2 things : 1) i want to play cricket until I'm his age . 2) i wonder how old I'll be when I'll have to adopt his fielding methods . .....well , I'm getting closer , that's for sure .
-
I tried to show my bruise to @Buzz last night, but he refused to look at it!!!
Still, I am now a walking advert for Voltarol gel!
-
Last three nets I've batted in (including the CBF net) I've been hit in the plums.
The left one is now more like a coconut and I'm walking like John Wayne!

Ah well when batting at least getting hit focuses the mind.
-
No injuries reported this year for me which is unusual as i have earned the nickname "sicknote" at out club, however last week saw 2 finger dislocations. The first was off his own bowling - straight off to hospital to have it reset.
The second was a guy on the opposition fielding at cow and looked he jammed his finger into the deck trying to take a low catch. his little finger was pointing in 2 different directions - again straight off to hospital.
-
One case of torn finger ligament for me! Don't drop catches folks. Fiance panicking as it's my ring finger, 6 weeks healing time and we're getting married in 8..! At least the good news is it shouldn't stop me playing, although I can't grip a bat properly with my top hand at the moment. Fine leg to fine leg for me for the rest of the season I think.
-
Labral tear on left shoulder causes some discomfort while batting but otherwise I am ok playing since I throw with my right and a heavy bottom handed player.
-
Saturday was a fun minor injury day for me.
Had a sore Achilles for a while, but played through it every week, so that was one injury I had.
In the warm up, took one to the chin that I didn't get my hands quite up in time, as the ball slipped through my fingers from a high catch.
Still pre-game, took a finger ender that removed half my nail.
Into the game, took one to the head when 1st slip parried it upwards.
Pulled the quad running while over compensating from the bad Achilles.
Nothing major, just a lot of minor ones this week

@Seniorplayer hope you're feeling better soon mate
Just out of interest, what helmet were you wearing?
-
Thanks for the kind thoughts
The helmet was a Gray Nics with a double bar Masuri grill i went for the hook without getting inside the line of the ball its a shot i thought i had perfected from what I am told The ball hit the grill under the nose and although the chin rest was only slightly loose the speed and bounce of the ball pushed the helmet and grill upwards and the stainless steel grill top bar cut into the bridge of the nose.

Edged two in-swingers to my left foot this season. Both hit my on the arch (inside) of the left foot. Hurts like hell. I applied ice and ibuprofin to ease the pain. Somebody really needs to invent a foot protector for batsmen to cover/protect the arch/side, top, and toes of the front foot!

Ulna tendinitis in my elbow/tennis or golfers elbow. On and off issue for the last two or three years, means I can't throw with as much power when it goes wrong. I put it down to a combination of boundary riding, frisbee and working as a cleaner during my summer holidays!
Remember someone else had posted about 20somethings not being meant to get tennis elbow: I'm 23 and have tennis elbow!
