What was the most unusual incident that happened to you while playing cricket?

Question

Dear Friends,

First, congratulations to Australia on their fantastic series victory of 5-0 against West Indies.

Lots of strange things happen while playing cricket. I may have told you that while playing in college I bowled 3 consecutive incutters that hit the same batsmen in the groin. It might have looked funny then but, he later had a haematoma and the treatment for this is unfortunately removal.

Has it ever occured to you that some stranger fell asleep over you in a public transport. I think it is commonplace. Do you agree?

This was however a bit away from usual (so I think):

The second (non-cricketing) question can you give a name for the individual with the large moustache?

Thanks

Answer 1

i bled profusely from my nose after i got hit from a local fast bowler bouncer while playing a hook shot, the nose bulged like a baloon and the face turned black for months, lmao!

Answer 2

Well once I was running to take a catch and I didn't see the bench in the ground and got hit . What the h**l was that bench doing in the corner? It should have been out of boundary at least. I couldn't walk properly that day, my leg was hurt badly

Answer 3

yep congrats Australia!

what happened to me was when i hit a ball it went in the air near the boundary line and a fielder was under it and i thought i was going to be caught out but instead it landed on the fielders head ,cupped safely in his hat and he fell backwards with the impact of the ball and the ball went out of his hat and over the rope for six! i considered myself lucky but the fielder was taken to A and E , but he was ok.

Answer 4

Congrats Australia! I was very unlucky not to see a single game played between WI and Aus in this series.

When I was 15 I played my first real cricket match with adults and it was a 40 overs a side game played in the middle of a dessert  in Saudi Arabia.We were very lucky to be playing in winter and had to endure what you would call minor sandstorms 3 or 4 times during play.

When I was in high school we played a practice match where the opposition had both Merv Hughes and Darren Berry in their side.I opened the innings chasing 300 odd runs and I lasted only 4 balls.I guess I could brag a little about being caught Berry Bowled Hughes.LOL forget the duck I got.

It is commonplace to fall asleep on public transport.We used to annoy old people when we were kids by faking sleep and falling on them hard.Then we would apologize to them and take a water bottle and try to splash some water on our face but we somehow managed to splash the other person as well.Pretty funny back then!

No idea who that is but carrying 2 tickets and a monthly pass, well thats just strange.

Later
