I always wondered about the "bowler" and how fast that ball is traveling. Sheesh! Then I found out that most times it hits the ground. What a relief! |

wrote in message Ya know, all this Cricket talk has finally made me go out to Wikipedia and other places to find out how it is played. I always wondered about the "bowler" and how fast that ball is traveling. Sheesh! Then I found out that most times it hits the ground. What a relief! The fastest bowler hits around 120-140Kmh. A player had his jaw broken in two places here last week, not from a bowler, but from a fielder. I am here to tell you, a granite hard ball in the groin even at 80 kmph is not very pleasant. One of the most obtuse observations is the feeling you can have, only if you have played. The long walk out onto the centre pitch, the "taking guard" and being surrounded by eleven men wanting to take your head off. In the 1970s cricket was regarded as a sport of 'moderate-risk injuries'. These days cricketers are more susceptible to higher-risk injuries and cricket ranks fifth among causes of non-fatal accidents. Elite cricketers are expected to train longer, harder, and earlier in life to excel in their chosen sport. The repetitive nature of the game and the need often to be out on the field of play for long periods further predispose cricketers to a wide range of injuries. Injury can occur during any phase of the game - bowling, batting or fielding - and can involve any part of the body. http://www.sportsinjurybulletin.com/...-injuries.html I think most would agree, the enjoyment of the game mostly comes form the lesser obvious "subtleties " of the game, swinging and spinning of the ball, and the ability to strike the ball flying off differing ground or "pitch" conditions. |
