no, i’m sure it was silently thinking, ‘phew.’ oh well, i guess we’ve got two of ‘em for a reason.Mr Casson said:What happened to the left one? Was he just standing there like "Dude... are you OK?"
im sure thats just how i looked, too.Hoggy31 said:
LOL! Sorry mate, but I just found that really funny. I had the image of you half-way through your run-up and then twitching and groaning and then dropping to the floor. The way you described got me - I was bowling and as I bowled my neck stiffened and I fell to the ground.Voltman said:Not sure if the injury was related to cricket, but when I was 10, I was bowling and as I bowled my neck stiffened and I fell to the ground. Happened a few more times at the nets over the next couple of years and the physio warned me if it happened again I may be paralysed (note to self: Don't have a hypocondriac as a physio). Luckily it didn't happen again for another couple of years and I'm still bowling as badly as ever...
No worries, pal. I'm sure it looked farily comical to my teammates too. The only downside was it was the start of back problems that put an end to my extremely unpromising rugby career...PommieMacGill said:LOL! Sorry mate, but I just found that really funny.

Glad to see that you are okay though mate.
Maybe it's just my sense of humour?!

In shock at hitting one?Neil Pickup said:Top-edged pull shot into my front tooth.
Lots of naughty words.
whaha, i could imagine so well !The Baconator said:Concussion for me but through sheer dumbness.
It was indoors and I was trying to catch the ball but I didn't realise where the wall was and smacked my head off it running at full pelt.
Was there a second shooter on the grassy knoll?Top_Cat said:No-one believes this ever happened except those who saw it and laughed at it (and even then they struggle) but hey here goes;
Once I faced up to an extremely quick bowler named Troy Corbett when he was playing for Adelaide Uni (played for Victoria a few years ago and was one of the more promising lefties around at the time) and he ripped one into me from just on a good length which I inside-edged onto my box (causing much bruising). The ball then rebounded off the box back onto the bat and hit the corner of the shoulder which lept up and smacked me in the teeth (chipping one of them). By then it had lost a lot of momentum but it had enough to rebound off my tooth, hit the bat again and belt me in the eye causing a black eye. I swear this actually happened and so I ended up with three injuries in one go.
The sounds I made went something like this; *hits box* "Ooooo!!!!!" *hits tooth* "Ohhhhhhh!!!!!!" *hits eye* "OWWWWW!!!!!!!"
Oh, did I mention how quick Troy was?!?!? I had a fair idea after that.
