Later Kallicharran was stuck a fearful blow from Lillee and suffered a broken nose :

HUGE RESPECT..!!
A few jolts here and there are bound to happen,but despite that he continued playing without a helmet right..That..That attitude deserves a spl mention.

That era was the most FEARLESS  batsmen ...


Not only Kallicharran broken Nose : Freddo took so many knocks on his BARE head !

In 2010, this article was in the TnT's Guardian!

For his ability to dominate bowling combined with technical excellence and graceful elegant stroke play, Kanhai is widely acknowledged to be among the best.  Never in the history of the game during his prime had a batsman so dominated fast bowling especially, pre helmet and all, with equal grace, power and elegance.

Who remembers Nari Contractor : knocked out in the Caribbean by Charlie Griffith ???

IIRC , some of our Guys had to give blood at the Hospital !

Wisden was clear. "Contractor did not duck into the ball. He got behind it to play at it. He  probably wanted to fend it away

towards short-leg, but could not judge the height to which it would fly, bent back from the waist in a desperate,

split-second attempt to avoid it and was hit just above the right ear."

I am sure Maps was at the game!  He knows his cricket and history of it.
