biggest pussy sport ever.

actually, tetherball is probably worse. but cricket still sucks.

come to think of it, ultimate frisbee and curling suck pretty worse also. but cricket is still immersed in lameness.

NZ lost by two wickets to SA ... sounds like it was a pretty good game from the cricinfo bulletin

Jason Gillespie may have broken ribs after Brett Lee banged an absolute spitter of a ball in short in reply to getting lofted for six over long/mid on in an ING cup game - Dizzy tried to pull but missed completely and got hit by a 140km ball square in the ribs

Bit much of a muchness cause Dizzy's international career is pretty much over anyhow

Cricket is just like a different form of all other bat sports. No more or less pussy than any of them, they all carry some risk of injury or death. Maybe it is you who "sucks pretty worse".

Yeah the batmen wear pads and a helmet just like in baseball. Some choose not to wear the helmet sometimes but people have died from it in the past. I'd sure as hell be wearing one if someone was bouncing a ball at my head at 100mph.

I was referring more to how the batter in cricket wears pads, while the batter in baseball doesn't.

well, baseball's batters wear helmets, but not the full body stuff.

Cricket bastmen wear pads on their legs and a helmet, thats it. Remember in cricket that the bowler is allowed to bowl directly at the batsmen if he wants, and he can bounce it up at him or just full toss it into him. Leg pads are well justified.

That's why I'm trying to educate you. They also have gloves and stuff.

It's always dumb when people say that padding means certain sportsmen are softer. Like some people here will say that NFL players must not be as tough as rugby and league players because they wear padding, but no doubt the padding just allows everyone to hit each other harder. They probably all get the same level of pain.
