ICC Cricket World Cup 2011

its kinda funny that Cricket players all in all have more protective equipment than baseball players do

BUT


Rugby players have way less equipment than american Gridiron players have

You can't pitch the ball near the batter in baseball though, can you?

Also, the fielders don't have gloves.

Ah.... yeah you can

its not advantageous 95% of the time to throw it at or behind the batter in baseball...

but yeah guys get hit on purpose all the time

has anyone ever died in the course of a cricket game due to being hit by a ball?

Nobody died though.

Archie, just for your information - nobody used a helmet till early 70s.

I think Barry Bonds at age 49 or whatever should try his hand at Cricket

Too fat to even last 10 overs fielding.

 

[SoV]

WIN!!!

Worked hard for that and Holland's inexperience showed at the end.

Massive wake-up call for England.
