Having come back from uni for Easter I attended club indoor nets for the first time this season and well I don't think the 2nd team captain or 2nd team opening bowler are too happy with me.

Said opening bowler digs one in and liking the short ball I go after it unfortunately I time the absolute pants off it and it travels like a tracer bullet back at him and split open his head!

Wondering if i am the only one to take out a team mate at nets? batter/ bowler or even fielders.

Note: all is well only a few stiches.

When i was younger and quicker, I bounced someone in nets, hit them on the back of the head as they tried to avoid it and knocked them out. Huge lump and concussion...

In a match I bounced someone and hit them squarely in the nose, hence loud crack, cascades of blood and trip to hospital.

Have felled a couple of batsmen over the years, always felt like (No Swearing Please) afterwards...but then if I felt that bad guess I wouldn't bowl bumpers! Split open a guy fielding at silly mid on batting once too that was nasty...

Hit a length ball over the bowler, didn't get all of it and he stuck a hand up, caught his finger, snapped it back and bone came through the skin. Wasn't nice to look at to say the least.

If I had got hold of it, it probably would've missed his hand.

Wasn't me personally but this happened in our nets last year.

I was stood up keeping so had full view and was quite horrific. Batsman smashed a half volley to mid on where the said player wasn't looking, he turned just as the ball got to him and well here are the results

I have put a link direct to my photobucket and not uploaded the picture direct and it isn't nice to look at! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

4 internal and 8 external stitches I think it was

the batsmen in the other net was bending down to get the ball out of the net and I timed the pants off a drive and knocked him out.

Creamed one back at a bowler and broke his hand

looks very similar to the damage I caused 

[tim2000s]

Whilst at Uni, the batsman in one net played a full blooded pull and missed the ball. He didn't miss the head of the batsman in the next door net who was bending over to retrieve the ball... Straight out, cracked his skull.

This is all whilst bowling - I've broke a rib
                                   A nose and helmet both with bouncers
                                   And ive give people some really nasty bruises on toes and feet with yorkers. I'm not allowed to bowl at 
                                   3rd teamers anymore.

Broken toes as a bowler is just something that happens to batsmen... Done that a few times.

Few years back when i had an arm, i proceeded to sling one back to the keeper from deep square, but managed to clock the umpire at square leg on the bonce. He took it like a champ although his legs were wobbley like Bruno's against Witherspoon.

When playing under 15's I split someone's forehead open in training, they bowled and I timed my lofted drive perfectly. Instead of going over the bowlers head it hit him, a lot if blood and 14 stitches later he stopped playing. My mate still has he scar so I still feel guilty to this day

Got a ball to bounce up of a length on a dodgy pitch and smash the batsman square in the grill, no damage done. Opening over of a T20 game on tour one year, I pinned a guy on the fingers, he then preceded to hit me for two 4's before retiring hurt to go to hospital.

couple of broken toes whilst bowling is about it from what i can remember off my bowling

ive seen a few split lips and a broken nose off top edges though, so nothing really too bad

My mate has a toe which is black and deformed from a Yorker I bowled
7 years ago.

Same guy I bowled a Beamer, he backed away but the ball swung, hit him square on the inside of his shoulder blade. Was beautiful.
