Awful news to read earlier this morning...and tragic for all concerned; parents of junior players aspiring to the sport must be worried, helmet designers...rule makers will do their best I hope. Sean Abbott, the bowler is going to live a life of hell, for sure.
Oddly enough, I was reminded of another event -
Michael Watson v Chris Eubank. He lived on, to fight in different ways.
Cricket's fast men are regaled - any fan would relish Lillie and Thompson, Marshall, Daniel, Holding ('Whispering Death') Shoaib Akhtar and many more...all 'aiming to disorientate'...
And, look at 1:11 and 1:22 of this Mike Gatting / Malcom Marshall interview, to see some headlines.
RIP - and maybe the game will change.
