Bavalan Pathmanathan, 24, was playing in the British Tamil League at Long Ditton on Sunday when a ball struck him on the chest.
An air ambulance was called but he died later from his injuries.
Last November, Aussie batsman Philip Hughes died 2 days after being hit on the top of his neck by a ball.
Cricket is dangerous, and should be banned.
It's also boring.

Sorry - I actually don't know the answer for sure. I thought i'd just ask. Bit of a stupid question really in so much as how do you define an injury?
I do recall reading about this though and I think equestrianism and horseracing is up there but the correct answer my well be base jumping. |

Talking of Russian roulette I remember watching the deer hunter for the first time and thinking Robert De Nero getting the extra bullets in the gun was the smartest bet I had ever seen.
