RIP Phillip Hughes

This made the news in the US. I was surprised, I never thought of crickett as a dangerous sport. Poor guy, my condolences to his family.

Less so in recent years. But the ball is very hard (much harder than a baseball for instance) and is bowled at 90+ MPH. Broken bones are common but head injuries are fairly rare.

Damn, I had no idea it hit ninety plus. That's big league material. I thought it was thrown underhand, can't see it getting that fast. I need to look more into it, I'm American, I know duck all about crickett

Underarm? Yep and between innings they dance round the maypole. Oh Walrus... You are American for sure.
