Who said Cricket is a gentlemans game ?
Wicketkeeper for South African Mark Boucher copped a bail in the eye in a game against a county side. The bail flicked up after a 'leggie' bowled the batsman. He had to be taken to hospital for surgery. looks like it just scratched the white of his eye. I've been hit all around the body while keeping but never in the eye thank goodness.
