WHY CRICKET ACCIDENTS ARE SCARIER, THAN ANY OTHER SPORTS MISHAP!!!


Phillips Hughes, 26 years old, faced a bouncer by Sean Abbot on 2014-11-27, in a match between NSW vs. South Australia. He was batting really well, but just one bouncer changed the circumstances forever. The ball hit beneath his left ear, and he sent to hospital immediately. He struggled with the circumstances as much he could, but on Thursday the 27th, he lost his battle against the destiny. He was a talented person who played 26 test matches and 25 ODI matches for Australia; he was one of the most recognized batsmen of the nation. It is not the first incident that a player lost his life in a cricket match; many people have lost their lives in the past. Let us talk about them:

Ian Foley, one of the most respected all rounder of 80's and early 90's, in the English County, and who played for England too, was invincible player of the game. In a game for White haven, Foley beard a blow on the right below his right eye. He sent to the hospital immediately, where he faced a heart attack and died. He was 30 years old at that time.

One such Incident occurred with India too. A cricketer named as, Raman Lamba, he was one of the promising batsmen who showed up in the 90's along with some legends like Saurav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar and Sachin Tendulkar. Raman played 4 test matches and 32 ODI matches for India, he had a good batting average but on February 23, 1998 in Dhaka, a ball while fielding at short-leg position hit Lamba’s temple. He was dead after the three days due to the internal haemorrhage.

Such are the biggest examples, which occurred on the field Phillip Hughes, Ian Foley and Raman Lamba, are some of the examples but the list goes on. Cricket is a beautiful game, but some incidents like this make a blot on it. Yes, when you are playing a game, there is a big chance of injury, I agree! In modern days, we can find some good equipment in the market, but still the accidents and mishaps are not easy to avoid.

I have seen many sports such as Formula one, Moto GP, soccer, wrestling and boxing, where incidents occur at any time. I hope I have shared what I wanted to reveal. Sports should play with great heart, will and determination, I am sad about Phillip, he was talented, I hope may he rest in peace. May he find peace in heaven!

Thanks for reading!
