Young cricketer dies...

He's comparing the chances, Doug.

Still, terrible stuff. Cricket balls hurt- especially to the nose!

Another statistic:

A child is 100 times more likely to die in a pool than in a firearms accident (assuming a home has both).

That is because one would hope that the child has more access to the pool than the gun.

Dang.... :-/

Cricket is truly a fantastic sport and the ball really does hurt when it hits you even softly... the Americans should pray that it stays out of popularity in their country.  ;D

And for that chap to go to the funeral takes immense guts. Hats off to him.  :)

If Cricket ever gained national popularity in the states then within a year they'd be dressed as if they were at Agincourt.

Possibly thankfully, I don't geddit.
