My mate broke someone's arm bowling at him. Cricket always has an element of danger, for both the fielders and the batters.

- stevekemp 4mo agoGetting hit in the face/neck by a cricket ball moving at 150mph can cause serious injuries, even death. For example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillip_Hughes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillip_Hughes
- sometimes_all 4mo agoMinor nit: Fastest ever recorded ball bowled was 100 mph. I believe you were thinking 150 kmph. Also, if we're talking about street/amateur cricket, or even higher-level cricket a couple of levels removed from international, you are rarely going to have rockets hurled at you. Most will be 120 kmph tops.
