Very unfortunate and disturbing!
fat men do...
RIP to the deceased, I'm no fan of cricket, but always found it surprising that they don't at least wear a chest protector given the close proximity involved and rapidly flying balls.
Hi!
They have the
chest guards of all types,the padded one & the hard ones with little padding material.
\/\/Here is a batsman wearing it.
But three factors govern that phenomenon you've mentioned.
1-Understanding the risks.
2-Money (a concern at the level of cricket academies).
3-Type of cricket and preference.
The first one is self explanatory.
Money matters a lot for a Pakistani youngster,when he's planning to buy his own gear.Most of them can't afford the whole kit.
We have three versions of the game.
>T-20 version.Fast and very entertaining.
>ODIs-each team has to play for 50 overs.
>Test matches-the real deal.5 days of cricket if the weather is suitable.
People generally prefer wearing a chest guard in test cricket.
In T-20s the usually have to play lot of shots so some of the batsmen do not prefer to use it.
What did you say sir....?
I'm a common man of a third world country & it makes no sense to me.
