For the second winter nets running. A team mate has taken me out.

Last year a bouncer Ruptured my spleen. This year a beamer took my right thumb clean of the bat!

Doesn't matter what protection gloves you have if it hits it on the end!

Thankfully nit broke just ligament damage. Off to zee a specalist Monday to sort it's repair and physio. Oh the fun.

Goodness sake's, Chris, you're so accident prone! (A bit like me tbh) You're the kind of guy I'd expect to be the striker, non-striker and bowler in this scenario:

Recover soon, but in the meantime, go crazy on new willow.

Sent you a pm Jim.


I was using a the new gray Nicolas prestige gloves. Only had them delivered. And they have a round cup and foam in the thumb end like keepers gloves that my other gloves don't.  May well have been more damage with other gloves. Who knows.

The only way to test it is to repeat the test with a different par of gloves Chris

Hope it's nothing too serious mate, thumb injuries can be a right pain!

[Seniorplayer]

I take the rubber cups out of old gloves and put them in the gloves I am using covering  both thumbs and fingers facing the bowler on my bottom hand.

Ouch sounds nasty, I took a blow to the thumb early last season, not clever! However my reckoning id take my break over ligament damage, was batting again within two weeks. Admittedly not my smartest move but hey I missed batting!

[smilley792]

Maybe a break would have been better after yesterday's news.


update! !!! Albeit a delayed one as it was too depressing to post.




Definately ligament damage.

2 weeks in splint minimum.
6 to 8 weeks in total till I can grip properly.

10 weeks to first game of year.

so either no nets or some one handed nets. and no self pleasure.

Sorry to hear that!

I used my Newbery County gloves for the first time last weekend and turns out that thumbs (caps) have no foam in them. I paid good money for those gloves and one quick ball could end my season. Dratz!  I need good gloves for nets but I can't use my Slazengers (junior men's, sausage finger, RH).

Not a cricket sustained injury but on new year's day I wrenched my back at work (absolute agony, never known pain like it) and ever since it's been sore after lifting a few boxes at work, with the occasional sciatic nerve pain in the left leg. Chiropractor visits are helping but I can see it potentially becoming a chronic problem which may affect my cricket

Doctor or physio gave the timeframe? Worth looking for a second physio opinion if you can. I did enough ligs in my knees and ankles during my footballing days to know that enough heat and ultrasound into the area can speed things up, as can a physio really intent on helping out. I did my knee quite badly and was told 4 months rest and treatment. I went elsewhere for another opinion (to the guy who i still use today) who told me an operation would sort me with no problems until i would be too old for sports anyway but meant missing an entire season. As an alternative he offered to work through it week by week wit me and actually got me training and playing (with some limitations/mild pain) after 6 weeks. At the end of the season we sorted things properly with the advantage of rest and I haven't had a problem in that knee since.

@smilley792 Sorry to see that. Hope you recover soon and in time before the season starts.
