took a bang to the toe
« on: May 26, 2016, 05:18:36 PM »
had a quick net at lunchtime with the bowling machine. another advantage to work at a county ground. decided for the last couple of balls to set it to 99mph just for a bit of fun. first ball miles outside off stump and the second ball was a loving inswinging yorker straight onto my toe

Looks like you're gonna have to lose that toe mate. You'll be almost half way to Martin Guptill.

Don't suppose you could put a graphic content warning in the title?

These original Bola machines are very dangerous at high speed; with a hard ball, any hit would result in an injury. The new Bola Junior uses smaller, softer balls and is very safe but goes only as high as 65 mph.

Are there softer balls available for regular Bola machine?

A bit like facing a fast bowler with a cricket ball then?

Not quite.

With a Bola machine you are practicing and it should be safe enough to get you to face an actual fast bowler in a match. If you keep getting injured in practice what is the point? Are you practicing injury prevention or playing cricket?
