Short-leg???In my...what position was he fielding? Short-leg???<BR/><BR/>In my first mid-week practice for many years on Tuesday (1st round of the Cricketer Cup on Sunday), we were in the nets while a corporate game was going on at Brondesbury CC (home of the likes of Dermot Reeve and where Gatting junior plays I gather). Standard was obviously mixed from pretty good to not so good. One bowler accidentally bowled a beamer which went straight into the batsman's face. Anger and gesturing ensued from the batsman but we couldn't see how bad the injury was (bad enough to go off though).<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately that's the nature of the game - sometimes there are injuries (although clearly the batsman could have prevented his by wearing a helmet). Fingers crossed your collar bone victim gets back to cricket (and driving) soon.....Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06755797969506651900noreply@blogger.com
