Australia's Summer of Fun

[Jay]

I tried playing cricket last week. Only got two bruises :D Inside edge onto my thigh (I never wore a thigh guard), and another one off the helmet onto the shoulder.

inside of the thigh hurts so much

Yep that's a bad spot. Really should grab an inner thigh pad. Or use my bat ::)

ive never seen them in sports shops. I used to use a tae Kwando shin guard as a thigh pad which slid up your leg. Worked a treat!

at our club the U/16's ad Seniors would train together, so I would have the top senior bowlers bowling to me. Couldn't see it at all, had some ripper thigh bruises where I had missed the ball by 7 inches haha

Reckon the Indians will be right on to this Watson should expect to be given a work over with short pitched stuff hope he is up to it .

Or they could bowl non-threatening balls outside off stump and wait for Watson to hit them straight to mid-off :P

Or just bowl towards the stumps and he'll get out lbw.

Years and years back when I used to play, remember one time I was facing a left arm bowler for like the 2nd time ever (but this guy was quick). Like 3rd ball I faced, inside edge onto the inside of my right thigh. Very next ball, quick and swung a bit and got through and hit the inside of my left thigh. Was very painful the next day haha.

My best was when I managed to get hit both thighs in the one ball. That was fun. Safe to say I got out not long after as I was in all sorts.

As I got hit on the front thigh I moved the back one across, and then it went on to hit that one. They were glancing blows, the ball went behind the stumps, but it still showed the day after
