Bad Times!!
« on: August 18, 2010, 11:51:55 AM »
for the last few years i have batted without wearing a box! a) because i find them uncomfortable and b) because i'm a bloody pratt!  >:(
 i have been playing 11 years and for the 1st time ever last night i was struck right in my plums (both at same time may i add) and was dropped like a stone into water!!  :(
only a medium pace bowler as well!! this is a warning for anyone else out there who is as foolish as i was (if there is anyone) DO NOT RISK IT! immense pain, nauxia, loss of body strength, loss of breath and the pain is still there today. it hurts to walk, roll over in bed, pee, sit down, stand up! you name it. please please please i urge anyone who doesnt own/wear a box... GO GET ONE!

Yours in cricket

Purple plums.

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 realise that now! i was at practsie, the bat flew out of my hands and i literally crawled out of the nets. i couldnt breath properly, felt like all the strength in my legs had just gone. was truly awful!

i blame my new bat Tom  ;)

everyone else had a good giggle (as you do) but i wont laugh if i see someone take a hit like i did last night.

was telling simmy this morning that a lad at our club fields in a box as well after seeing his mate take one in the nuts when fielding and suffering pretty badly to the point where he is rumoured to have lost one to be now know as wom-ball!

the bat is there to hit  the ball mate trying to cock one for four is either immense bravery or stupidity ;)

One of our lads got a full toss in the privates, he walked around for a few seconds and then the pain hit him and he had to come off injured.

I always wear a box despite never being hit there as you know what sods law is like. The only bit of protection I don't wear is a thigh guard, so most weeks I show off a few nice bruises complete with seem marks!!

i will be purchasing some form of protection within the next 2 hours so its definitely here for saturday! i'd like to say immense bravery but nobody would ever believe that, plus the yelp of pain may have given it away!!

i wont have one off once it arrives. batting, fielding, cooking, cleaning!!
