Gonna be' lash' in epic proportions

There is nothing wrong with the Helmets. Only one person of the many millions that is playing cricket has ever died and it was an accident  . No need to redesign helmets
Batsmen  must learn to beep their heads away from the bouncer 
 

the master blaster did not need a helmet

Being a cricket tournament organiser myself, it’s always stressed in all the matches that a helmet is mandatory for the batsman, be it while facing a fast or spin bowler. But despite wearing a helmet, Phil Hughes was badly injured, so in my opinion bouncers should be banned altogether from cricket, as it can lead to serious injury or even death. 
From a bowler’s point of view, it can be disappointing if bouncers are banned, but keeping in mind that cricket is a gentleman’s game and such unnecessary deliveries should not continue in the game.

Ramesh,


I think there was another lad who died from being struck!

However you make a good point about technique!


The question is to what extent has helmets affected techniques!

A bouncer is nothing but an assault and can be dangerous. If you look at the history of cricket, we had Bodyline bowling in the earlier part of this century, where a bouncer was used as a weapon and not in true sportsmanship. Though there is protective gear to ward off bouncers, I feel personally that bouncers have to be avoided to minimise risk and injury. We can’t endanger the life of the sportsman.
