I have played cricket Lanc as a young fella (without the amour crap) apart from a box and we had some fair county players in Brentwood, Kieth Pont had quite a successful career later playing for Essex and I had him wang the odd ball at me so I do know what its like.the lancaster kicks ass said:hey, cricket's gotta be the most dangerous non-contact sport, you need some seriosuly big balls to play that at a pro level, and trakkie, we don't wear tons of "armour crap", we only wear what's nessisary to prevent an extremely horrific accident that could occour from getting hit buy a solid ball weighing several ounces traveling at 100mph+ many, many people end up in hospital from playing cricket........
I was talking a bit tounge in cheek lanc but point takenthe lancaster kicks ass said:wouldn't you rather have the "armour" on though?? surely it's contradictory to wear a box and say you wear "armour crap"??
