I  played a cut shot and hit the keepers helmet last season, his fault for putting his head in the way  . Also hit the bowler a few times no major injuries but one concussion. My bowling couldn't injure a 5 year old so no danger there.

A month or so ago I came down the track and smacked it straight, a guy walking back poked his hand and he ended up getting a fracture on one of his finger.

I've hit a a few batters when I used to bowl, some nice bruises but nothing serious.

But batting... A laddo fielding at silly mid off wished he wasnt when the bowler bowled a half volley on my legs. Head split open instantly and blood flinged off the seam of the ball as it spun round.

We still ran a 3 while the other fielders were stood round him, was going to go for the 4th but decided to make sure he was ok...

About 5 years ago my mrs came to watch and was having a nice picnic with a couple of friends at the long off boundary. Pleasingly the bowler gave me a half volley which I duly despatched..... straight at my mrs! Luckily she was watching and saw the ball en route to her lovely picnic. To my horror she decided she was going to be helpful by collecting the ball when it arrived..... unfortunately she did not take the effect of the boundary rope into consideration. You can guess what happened next, hit the rope then jumped and said hello to her forehead. Incidentally there was more damage done when I burst out laughing upon seeing the seam mark later that day and referred to her as 'Potter' for the rest of the evening.

I gave my Dad 6 stiches once in the nets. It was at Hook school during the U13 girls county cricket tournament (which he was coach of one of the teams and mys siter played in so we went down as a family). After dinner we went for a net in the outdoor grass nets, the end one for support had a pole at "midwicket" . ive middled one off my legs "through mid wicket" which deflected off the net straight into my dads head. There was blood everywhere, he ended up being carted off to hospital and spent all night there being patched up. He had a massive bruise and cut - i've never felt so guilty in all my life.

i tackled the head teacher when i was at school playing rugby as he was taking our pe lesson. when i took him to floor he snapped his hamstring and was on crutches for best part of 3 months

I've broke a bowlers finger when hitting a straight drive back at him - serves him right for stopping a 4

As the majority of you have done the broken bowlers fingers line, ill add when i was a wee 17 year old fielding at fine leg, launched the ball in from the boundary, our man at first slip wasnt paying attention, ball straight onto the top of his head, nice spurt of claret

2 years ago during my maiden ton i hit a ball over towards cow-corner (obviously) and the pavillion where an outfielder tried to take the catch. Little did he know that I had hit it rather well and as he running under it he did not notice his proximity to the raised concrete veranda in front of the pavillion. here he ran straight into the ledge and snapped a bone in his big toe clean in half. all whilst clattering into some garden furniture, i kept a leg as a memento.

The guy was a trooper though, carried on the game batting and bowling.

[trypewriter]

In the days when I could wield a 3 lb bat, I 'retired' a square leg umpire when he took a pull shot full on the shin bone. To his credit he saw the over out, but then limped off to his car and drove away...





Hope it was an automatic...

In our Grand Final this year, I creamed a sweep shot straight into the helmet of the guy in short. There was a lot of blood and he ended up with 6 stitches. The series of pictures below captures it all:

About 20 years ago a went to put a slow beamer out the ground & ended up scooping round 180 degrees and the ball smashing the wicket keeper in the face. Blood everywhere and broken cheekbone.
Glad to say I still see the fella now and again in the local

[arsenal123]

I managed to get a top batsman to top edge pull one of my dibbly dobbly mediums into his face (im a keeper).  Blood everywhere which stained the net mat. 

Everyone used to joke to new players that I was rapid, point out the blood and there would be a big build up as I charged in to bowl my first ball at them.  50mph later we all had a good giggle...
