I just got hit yesterday 'coz i wasnt wearing full protection. So I'm all in for complete protection while playing cricket now
I was wearing everything except thigh gaurds. They feel awkward and hinders my running. So i was opening for my side. Got a juicy full toss first up which i smaked over mid on for 4. Next ball, bowler decided to compensate for it and bowled a short of good length ball. It must have hit some crack in the pitch as ball jagged back in sharply from way outside off stump. So i just got on backfoot to defend that. But ball missed my bat and hit high on my left thigh. It was painful. But i was glad that it didnt hit a couple of inches to the right . I carried on for a while with pain but got out after scoring 42 runs in quick time.
When i got home i almost forgot about my injury. It was only when i was taking a shower i noticed a dark blue circular patch on my left thigh.
This was my first injury due to lack of proper protection.
I'm a WicketKeeper who occasionally bowls, thus sore thumbs and fingers are norm for me. But one of the most painful injury during keeping came a few month ago. The pitch was behaving strangly due to rain. One of the ball kept low and was dipping on me as i was going for it. I had my hands low, almost touching ground so that i wont miss it. Ball just bounced in front of my gloves and hit me in my adams apple. I almost choked for a few seconds. But again i played through the pain.
I guess you guys must have some memorable/painful injuries. Lets hear them.
