Just watching the Freddy Fintoff cricket thingy
apparently some of the kids are having trouble with the hard cricket ball
they are worried about getting hurt
I mentioned to SWMBO that when we started in Secondary school we started playing cricket
with the proper ball
but we did have proper protection
ONE pad
no second pad for us bottom of the range players
no helmet - no-one did even at test level
no box - it was recommend that you just hit the ball with your bat before it hit you in the whatsits!!
As far as I remember no-one died - or even got hurt
Yea gods kids these days!!!
