I have only ever been 'grilled' once, it was off a medium pace bowler and i was keeping and standing up to the stumps...
as a very inexperienced keeper who is usually a quicky, i took my eyes of a ball that was edged off a cow corner slog and it hit me flush on the grill.
From what i experienced the ball defo accelerated off the bat and came at me alot quicker than i expected...
I have the grille on the setting that shouldn't allow the ball through and it didn't come through, i use the Masuri that Kieswetter was wearing and it hasnt really put me off. However the fact a helmet that apparently is up to the new standards has failed has made me want to upgrade to the new Masuri...

What colour is your current masuri??
Could sell it it fund a new one

The beard make him look like an old fashioned Moonshiner! All he needs is a dirty pair of denim dungarees and a straw hat!

Yeehaaaa!

I am impressed that this thread got this far.

Broads helmet grille was still adjustable so he will do what nearly all pro players do which is leave the gap between peak and grille as wide as possible. This is the weakest setting for any brand of helmet and a ball can and will squeeze through it. I believe this is why manufacturers are now being asked to make helmets with grilles that are set in position so that this cannot happen. The fact that broad didnt end up with any worse an injury should be a credit for the helmet and grille in doing its job.

Broad has netted in a Masuri this morning, a simple case of not being able to get a new one up to him in time Tom?

Please Ollie, you're just looking for an excuse to flash that new debit card of yours. I got grilled off a top edge pull in the old Masuri (before the sweeping grill) and I was fine. At our level you will be fine. Think off the 2 people you have hit in the helmet this year, wearing a GN and a Woodworm, they were fine.

Plus that new Masuri is packing some serious weight!

If he's got a green masuri at the moment please don't discourage him from selling it (hopefully to me!) to help fund a new style one 

And debit card, isn't that a bit sensible? Aren't credit cards designed to buy kit you don't need!

His is blue, I'm the one with the green one wanting a blue!

Dissapointed to see him in a masuri.

I don't want an incident to happen in which the result is "I told you so"

[WalkingWicket37]

Well then! Get him to buy a new one, you use the blue one and sell the green one to me, everyone wins!

If he's netting in a Masuri I presume he'll be playing in it - if he does then that'll be a massive blow for Ayrtek

The article says that the Ayrtek lid was too damaged to use again. I assume he is just borrowing one as he is sponsored by Adidas so I would imagine he has to use their products.

[Neon Cricket]

I'd hope so, surely he'd have a spare lid though??

Its funny as Liam and i have discussed me selling him my blue one and me getting the style helmet
