To me it seems Baseball is all about swinging the bat as had as you can, cricket is more about the skill of the shot, guiding the ball into areas of the field over all 360 degrees where the fielders aren't placed.

Isn't one of those guys Mark Vermuelen who had a ball go between visor and peak of his helmet and split his skull?
And then had the same thing happen again after he'd recovered?
Originally posted by VargNot sure, I wish I could get some more South African videos. There is one where Dave Callaghan (I think it was him) took one on the eye, right through the visor.

Originally posted by PhlabibitThere was footage of a South African guy in English county cricket whacking the snot out of a spectator on the field on the news services here 5 or 6 weeks ago. Dont know where to find the footage.
Why can't I find any cricket fights? Do they call it something else like 'slap fest' or something?
P-
I do agree with the doc in saying that its just not cricket.

Liked to have been a fly on the world to see Warneys face when Cullinan pulled a 357 Mag on him in the dressing rooms and told him he was going to kill him. Funny stuff.

There will be footage of it somewhere, Merv is a national selector along with David Boon.
