Ah you beat me to what I added to my post, that's what I get for posting while waiting to respawn... Yeah crazy to think what could've happened if it was an inch lower.
Nah just searched, was Chiv Chanderpaul.
Remember watching that one on TV and feeling sickened enough... The noise it makes when it hits the helmet, far out. In saying that pretty sure after this hit he ended up scoring a century on us.
Far out I completely forgot about that one, the first one that came to my mind was a West Indies I think player copping one on the back of the helmet from Brett Lee, was short pitched but stayed down, he went to duck and instead copped it in the head.
I played juniors well over a decade ago and no batter or wicket keeper was allowed out without a helmet (or technically box) even back then, think u14/16s they didn't really give a s**t if you took off your helmet against a spinner. As for bouncer rules, aside from most "lower level / age"...
Could some kind of compromise between current cricket and baseball helmets be a potential option? Obviously modifying would be needed for vision / mobility purposes and probably some extra reinforcement, but I do know many of the baseball or softball designed helmets cover significantly more...
Shocking news, heard it on the news sign off, didn't realise it was that advanced so came rather suddenly and unexpected. Probably good in a way the test ended before this, couldn't imagine how hard it must be for those who worked with him for so long. Still geez it was only last test crap gone...
