Good job you have invested in optimum protection going forward to keep that titanium tooth in place

You cannot account for the unknowns which there are a great deal of in the wonderful world of cricket

Indeed, cant wait for my blue tint lid, shame i didnt have it on that fateful day in 2011!

Ive got too many bats! Ive resisted the urge to attempt to acquire it as i know i'll want all the softs too, and i really cant afford to shell out on a whole new set of gear.

Going back to original topic, I had never really thought too much about it, but you very rarely see pro's without lids, until yesterday when two England players (Luke Wright was one) both wore caps in the T20 game.  As did another in the Big Bash.

Personally, I very rarely wear a lid. The standard I currently play in does not have bowlers quick enough, whilst the pitches played on are generally very good.

I can't hook, so if it ever gets that high I don't

i worry about top edges more than anything mate batting.

got the scare above my eye to prove it off a spinner as well.

Batting i always wear a lid force of habit i guess

Had to wear a helmet in colts cricket and have never stopped wearing it. Have witnessed a number of cases of people top edging the ball into their face.

One severely split open his lip and the other knocked himself out.

Also had a guy duck into a short delivery and fractured his skull.

This was the exact discussion I has with someone at the recent BSI meeting in October that all the helmet manufacturing brands attended with the view of improving the current safety standards come 2013.

All well and good saying bowling isn't quick enough/pitches don't bounce enough but no matter what bowling or pitch you won't avoid a top edge to your face.
