Really 70s and 80s cricketers are true warriors. If these injuries happen in today's cricket , ppl would have quit their career.

[@homeone4054]

Agreed. But then the cult of safetyism hadn't take over the world then. The second more sinister motive is to emasculate and infantilise traditional sports out of existence by picking up on rare safety issues, in order to denigrate them and push alternatives. The BBC has the hammer on injuries in rugby for instance, especially legal action by former players for alleged brain damage caused by concussion. The real motive is that it sees rugby as an old colonial game and therefore inherently racist and wants to kill it off. We've seen it in cricket now where keepers now wear helmets as a routine as well, which is what children do. It's just not necessary at professional/Test level.

Some comments on this video unfairly malign the West Indies fast bowlers. The bouncer from Ambrose to Lawson is the only one that could be considered blameworthy, as it was bowled on a fast wicket to someone who wasn't a recognised batter. The balls from Holding to Wood, Marshall to Lloyd and Walsh to Prabhakar were all bowled to recognised batters who must be presumed to be able to deal with short-pitched bowling, and who in all three cases erred in their attempts to play the deliveries.
