Great performances by injured players

I don't think Cowdrey actually faced a ball when coming out with a broken arm against WI in 1963. iirc the bloke at the other end blocked the final couple of deliveries to save the game.

Not injured as such, but Eddie Paynter famously came from his hospital bed to bat brilliantly and, I think, set up a win in the Bodyline series.

Tendulkar 136 vs Pak. Had severe back spasms for the second half of it.

VVS vs Australia at Mohali too, but it was with a runner so meh not that impressive for the purpose of this thread.

I think he faked his injury like big Vern in Adelaide so there is an excuse when he inevitably fail to win another game for india the hobbit

Sanath batted at 6 with a dislocated shoulder when we were running out of batsmen and pretty much won the game with his knock.

Bert Sutcliffe batting with a head injury with Bob Blair (who'd just found out his fiancee had died in the Tangiwai Disaster) against a dangerous Neil Adcock in the 1950s. NZ still lost the game, but Sutcliffe ended with 80 not out.

The Tangiwai cricket test, Boxing Day 1953

One of the most memorable and poignant moments in New Zealand cricket history occurred on 26 December 1953, just two days after the Tangiwai rail disaster.

Don't get fooled by his weight and smile. This guy was tough to the core!

Great delivery to Wickramasinghe in there. Great video - some entertaining and shambolic cricket! Thanks, @Migara.

Didn't Kallis have some back strain during the Kallisball Test?

Don't get fooled by his weight and smile. This guy was tough to the core!

Smile? I remember him as being quite grumpy.

He has one of the nicest smiles in the game. But I agree, he was grumpy on the field.

Clarke's hundred in SA in 2014 with a broken shoulder after getting monstered by Morne. All the while horribly looking out of touch.

So the "broken f****n arm" karma came back to him...

Gavaskar 103 with 103 fahrenheit fever

Is it his 103 at Old Trafford? He himself rates it as his best knock, ahead of runs he's made against West Indies, Pakistan and Australia.

Not really. He made a match winning hundred with it.
