Ban bouncers?

Yes and for the most part that "rule" is honored by most bowlers even today.

Irrelevant !

Hughes is a top order Bat : he mistime a hook ....

The penalty was extremely severe !

A baseball helmet would have negated this ...

correct!!

btw - is there a standard for making protective gears?  Maybe the ICC should be working on getting standards setup instead of leaving it up to the manufacturers!!

I defer to Mapoui on the matter of the manufacturer  ::LOL::

I was not applying the bouncer rule to Hughes.....come on guys read properly!

I'm not sure a baseball helmet would've .... just as I'm not sure about eliminating bouncers !!

Shiv ask me to help him Design one for Mornie and Steyn

I now see this
I doh see nutten wrong with Ramesh comment.  its not as if he being outlandish or telling what would be a lie.  it is as if black people shooting themselves to death and letting themselves go in the USA..not white police and white grand juries etc
it is no as if black people made ebola and sic it on themselves
the list is endless and principle of white people increasing whatever kills black people tried and true
is only known racists here calling out Ramesh on this
> > >

when I look back now I shiver and trimble at what used to go on.  there shud have been bodies all over the place but there weren't
we were lucky.  but luck doh hole out forever.  if we missed the bodies in the past we may get compensation now.  but one life is too many in my estimation.  and if we protect for the one we would be protecting for all

I doh mind if deh eliminate the bouncer.  as I said there is an exciting alternative..the development of skill and smarts to beat and bowl batsmen.

I wud put out an ultimatum to the helmet makers..make a really good helmet..light, strong, durable with an effective grill.. or the bouncer is banned..in which case the market fuh cricket helmets dies

straight case.

of course not!   

next you will claim that if the ball was white, this accident would have not happened!  >
