let's think about this more...
with an old style Masuri, it is reasonable to say he would have a fractured eye socket and his career may be over.
with a double bar vision series lid, the ball would have caused the visor to pop off, but who knows where the ball may have gone, with nothing to take the pace off, it may have had a similar result to the old model.
with a plastic Albion the visor/peak would have been destroyed again with a who knows what result.
with a traditional Albion the grille would probably have crushed into his face, like Ponting at lords, but much worse, maybe fractured cheek.
it is too easy to get the hatchet out here.
broad only has a broken nose from a ball which would have been going faster than 100 mph, the adrenaline would have been pumping after the last two balls had gone for 6 massively.
ironically if Steyn or Johnson were bowling I suspect broad would have missed it and we would have watched the ball deflect off the lid for 4 byes...
