I've broken both arms - at different times - when I was a kid
I am also currently nursing a broken finger, which I managed whilst playing cricket. Not an enormous achievement you'd think, but quite special of me considering I was wearing enormous fucking wicket-keeping gloves at the time.

I saw my mates chin split open via a cricket ball, I'd sooner have the broken finger

I saw one of our Aussie pros top edge a sweep shot and break his own nose. Messy.
I've also seen a spectator, sitting minding her own business in her back garden, take a ball full on the head. She got a week in hospital for her trouble.

I saw a 'bacon and egg' blazer wearer at Lord's try to catch the ball and take it in the face. LOL!

There was one at a test there I saw on the highlights which was very similar, this was a county game though

My mate did that on our first ever cricket PE lesson
Hand outstretched, ball lands on hand, rolls along arm, straight into cheek.

FLAT OUT

Once when we were fielding, their number 11 came out to bat - who had clearly never played cricket before in his life.
Within about 2 minutes he took a delivery right in the spuds. He folded like a sheet of paper, collapsing to the ground, wimpering. Clearly no one had instructed him to wear a box.

As we were all crowded round him, thanking Christ it wasn't us, one of our lads shouted for someone to bring out a box.

In amongst the sobbing, the poor lad could be heard tersely uttering "bit fucking late for that now, isn't it? Cunts."

A six hit into the crowd at Canterbury hit a pregnant woman in the stomach. That wasn't as 'lol'

She was fine, but it was a 'who's gonna catch it?' exciting moment followed by an 'ooooh' followed by complete silence.

Was she not fucking looking?
Catch the bloody thing woman, FFS.

Probably too busy looking sweaty and fat and leaning back with her hands on her back like they do
