for the last few years i have batted without wearing a box! a) because i find them uncomfortable and b) because i'm a bloody pratt! >:(
i have been playing 11 years and for the 1st time ever last night i was struck right in my plums (both at same time may i add) and was dropped like a stone into water!! :(
only a medium pace bowler as well!! this is a warning for anyone else out there who is as foolish as i was (if there is anyone) DO NOT RISK IT! immense pain, nauxia, loss of body strength, loss of breath and the pain is still there today. it hurts to walk, roll over in bed, pee, sit down, stand up! you name it. please please please i urge anyone who doesnt own/wear a box... GO GET ONE!
Yours in cricket
Purple plums.

I just hope you have someone to kiss them better
-
the mrs wanted to bless her heart but they were in no fit state to even be breathed on last night :(
-
most important piece of any mans kit bag surely!
-
i discovered this 2 seasons ago, one of the worst pains ever! had to retire hurt as i could barely breathe!
-
Unless youre a Scotsman batting in a kilt ALWAYS wear a box!
-
i realise that now! i was at practsie, the bat flew out of my hands and i literally crawled out of the nets. i couldnt breath properly, felt like all the strength in my legs had just gone. was truly awful!
i blame my new bat Tom ;)
everyone else had a good giggle (as you do) but i wont laugh if i see someone take a hit like i did last night.
-
scotsman could have a jocker on underneath :D you'd never know unless the wind picked up ha ha

was telling simmy this morning that a lad at our club fields in a box as well after seeing his mate take one in the nuts when fielding and suffering pretty badly to the point where he is rumoured to have lost one to be now know as wom-ball!
the bat is there to hit the ball mate trying to cock one for four is either immense bravery or stupidity ;)
-
Our keeper always wears one can't say I ever did when keeping but batting for sure
-
If you are in an office i suggest you do not watch this, just laughed out loud, very loud.

i wear one for keepin mate on the odd occasion that i have to don the gloves!
-
One of our lads got a full toss in the privates, he walked around for a few seconds and then the pain hit him and he had to come off injured.
I always wear a box despite never being hit there as you know what sods law is like. The only bit of protection I don't wear is a thigh guard, so most weeks I show off a few nice bruises complete with seem marks!!
-
i will be purchasing some form of protection within the next 2 hours so its definitely here for saturday! i'd like to say immense bravery but nobody would ever believe that, plus the yelp of pain may have given it away!!
i wont have one off once it arrives. batting, fielding, cooking, cleaning!!
-
Shilly that video is immense. i shouldnt have watched it as the laughter has caused slight discomfort. worth it though.
only in the states!!
-
going back a few years a bloke took a blow there and was wearing a plastic box that was more old fashioned with breathable holes in it....these cracked a pinched a bit of sack inbetween them!!!!! imagine the additional pain from that...it brings a tear to your eye!!!!
-
hahaha loving marks cycling shorts and socks pulled up look....
-
Oh my god thats awful!! i think i may have inadvertantly started a new Nut shot thread.
ive not seen many bad ones. although a few seasons back i did see a guy take one at silly mid on. picture the seen, half volley on leg stump, guy is sqautted with arms apart, eyes open and he watched it all the way in. OUCH!!
-
BINGO!!!! haha
90 mph from 6ft isnt the same speed as the baseball would actually hit you as its further away that than so will loose speed/energy as it travels towards the batter! just shows how thick or confident he must be to stand and take one!!!!
-
a guy at our club around 5 years ago took one to the sack when fielding at deep sqaure leg, sun was in his eyes and he didnt see it at all! straight in and he hit the deck. needless to say he dropped the catch....
-
only in america!!! i'd say a mix of Yank ego, hyper from dougnut glaze and utter stupidity!
either that or he is a very ugly looking woman!
-
have always worn a box, but as most people know, it still hurts like buggery if you manage to cop one plum in the ole wedding veg even if you are wearing one - can't beleive people don't wear them!
-
well... i will always be wearing one from now on! infact im getting a NUTTY BUDDY!! 8)
-
i can picture it now.....their fast bowler comes on steaming in.....you sqaure up hold your bat out the way and take one in the NUTTY BUDDY.....no ones going to sledge u then!!!!!
-
well... i will always be wearing one from now on! infact im getting a NUTTY BUDDY!! 8)
if you do a review, there is no need to include photographs.
thanks
-
I have the shock doc feels strong
-
thats the idae mate, either that or bowling machine, take a hit like a pro and just stand there laughing. the lads will think ive had them removed!! would obviously have to put on the Alabama accent if i reviewed it
-
It's a pain unlike any other! I hope you feel better soon.
-
SS - That video is hilarious, slow motion shot to the groin with that cheeky smile made me howl with laughter.
-
Not what I needed to read first thing after I've woke up lol
-
That video is awesome :L
-
everyone else had a good giggle (as you do) but i wont laugh if i see someone take a hit like i did last night.
you 2 faced (No Swearing Please)! when i got hit on monday u was rolling on the floor laughing!!!
-
Can you buy nutty buddy's in the UK? I want one!
-
yeah i said i wont laugh 'anymore'... ha ha :D
besides you got hit above the bits, mine was laser guided!!
no has to be states i was trying yesterday. and looks really expensive as you need to buy three items to go with it ???
have purchased myself a top ice hockey guard. been talking to someone and they are much better than the boxes we wear. not hard or uncomfortable. more like a gel and foam padded pouch. if it stops a screaming hockey puck its good enough for me ;)
