LOL! If he wore a right sized MAsuri, i'm sure that would not have happened

how do you get a correct sized one if they only come in S-L and L-XXL.... does adjusting the velcro stop the wobble when tightening it at the rear of the head only to get an exact fit?

Maybe you can send Dravid one of your helmets.. I'm sure after a broken jaw he might take helmets a little more seriously..

I saw that! Looked a nasty blow. Hopefully he'll recover, perhaps even invest in a better helmet!
Talking of protection, yesterday was inter-house football, and I was goal keeping. So one of the opposition players gets past our defenders, but then accidently knoced the ball a bit further than he could control, so I pounced on the ball, but he went for a shot, and I got kicked 1/2 an inch to the left of my left eye!

My Mum now suggests I wear something like an Aero KPR facemask for competition games!

Broke my Jaw in two places so i can vouch how much it hurts, had my jaw wired up for around 8 weeks, also split a tooth which was removed and i could only drink through a straw for the whole 8 weeks. I still remember the pain of when they were wiring me up and it makes me cringe.

Tom, maybe if you have time you can start another project and research NFL (American Football) helmets.. Alot of concussion this season and major talk about inventing better helmets.. As the players get bigger stronger and faster the helmets staying the same.. big money involved in the NFL..

Yer was hit by bouncer when i was 17 ? The bowler was from the west indies and was pro at a club in my area for many many years, he was rapid as quick as I've faced although it was not done intentionally on his part the wicket was not the best. Always wear a helmet now though and although i broke my nose to a spinner playing a sweep I've not been hit since.
