I think a better question would be "what does this guy eat?"

I'm guessing it comes in powder form.

My favourite parts are the crackpot conspiracy theory messages he sent his wife.

1920.

Huges is, what, the second person in a couple years to die from a being hit by the ball?

^ that's a terrifying statistic.

Something needs to come from this in regards to how cricket players are protected. Clearly, a helmet alone does not cut it.

But if you give them too much padding they become less mobile and end up getting hit more. And a cricket ball is a hell of a lot harder than a baseball.

Maybe they need softer balls. I know nothing about the sport, does it really matter if they use a baseball like ball instead of a rock?
