The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

I found it easy to use and can generate very good pace it's the sort of thing you just have to get used too even got some seam and swing at times

Alot less and can be more accurate is harder to adjust length but can keep a great line plus the batsmen gets a more realistic feel than throw downs

would be difficult, i guess you would need some sort of mechanism to be incorporated into it?
which would probably add a lot to the research, development and production costs, spoiling one of the main attractions of this product
