playing cricket 2 or so years back.. spinners on from both ends so i decided to take the helmet off
.. anyway faced the spinners out for a few overs but didn't click when they brought a pace bowler back on
.. first ball was short (about hip height) which i instinctively pulled but i snagged a top edge straight into the eye socket bone (feel your eyebrow, it was the bone/socket bit right there) and bleed prefusely.. anyway, retired hurt got a bandage around my head and went in again at number 11 (couldn't see shit amongst the bandages and helmet.. much like bill lawrys nose job on the 12th man.. i had a couple of lil slits to look out of
) we needed 10 or so runs to win off a couple of overs to go and held the fort down at one end whilst the openers came back on and gave me some more curry (bastards) anyway pushed a few singles when i was on strike and let the other bloke do the work.. we won on the last ball
i was the club hero that night...

D), weird thing was that during this whole incident I didn't shed a tear, although the guy who ran into the back of my head and had not one thing but a little bump was bawling his eyes out, yet I was the one with blood pouring from my chin.
), that only lasted all of 5-10 minutes though and even when I was at the doctors getting injections right into the wound there wasn't even a whimper from myself.
