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.

Do you know which sport is the most dangerous in terms of injuries as a proportion of the number of participants?

Golf was often said to suffer the most deaths, mainly due to the advanced age of some participants.

Eventing

Oh, I see the question relates to injuries not deaths. Probably not eventing then.

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.

I'd have guessed Bull Fighting or Rodeo/Bull Riding would be the most dangerous

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.

He was a million to one to get out of that vc bunker but he smashed the odds with a brilliant piece of thinking.
