Blame is a needless word. There are risks to bowling a bouncer and risks to hitting a ball hard towards a fielder, those are just facts. Am saying there is a moral reason there to treat concussion subs differently (that starfighter has been asking for)
They do, but not the same way. I can overcome the emotional trauma of being unable to play sports again if my brain is functioning like a normal person. I can have healthy relationships, find a job that uses my brain, enjoy books movies music, etc.

Well, we are not disagreeing that much then. I totally understand why concussion should be treated with a lot more caution than physical injuries but at the same time, I feel our current infra is good enough to even allow proper injury subs which concussions can then become a subset of.
I blame the farmer that owned the cow whose hide supplied the leather to make the cricket ball
Pratters would blame Kohli's poor planning
Idk if I agree that bowling a bouncer is inherently less moral than bowling any other delivery that does not target a batters head. I could agree with it for recreational cricket, and people did certainly think this way at some point in cricket's history. Bodyline, for example. But with modern day laws, playing conditions, pitches and equipment I think we've reached a place where it's more or less accepted at the professional level. Wouldn't try to bring it into the reasoning behind concussion subs.
After 2014 they made it illegal in club cricket, which ruffled a few feathers but hard to really arc up too against it after what happened.
Only once, and it was a glance off the top of my head (wearing a baggy) that went over the keeper for 4 leg byes lol
Was only last season here. Our club vice president had a little rant about how Nathan Lyon wasn't obliged to wear one if he was facing Archer in the evening with a nearly black Dukes ball on a rough Lord's pitch, but that if was playing for his old club here he'd have to wear one when facing our 5'4", 15 year-old opening batsman who bowled 90 km/h medium pace.
I've heard former Rugby League players talk about how they would talk about boxers being soft for having such a lengthy time of after being knocked out, while the league players would take the field again as soon as they were physically able.
That's not what I'm arguing. Starfighter asked if there is a reason to have subs for concussions when injury subs aren't allowed. You say the reason is because concussed players are more likely to play on if there no subs because of bad culture and that could lead to something bad. But that could also be true for certain physical injuries.
