Pretty sure you could bowl as many bouncers as you wanted much later than that, around the 90's Also the bouncer is a fast bowlers tool not only to intimidate the batsman but to stop his footwork, get him rooted to the crease and often leads to a wicket when the batsman plays a timid shot after being "worked over" with lots of short balls to the head area

The umpires can ask you to wear a helmut, but they can’t order you . Many batsmen refuse to wear a helmut , some refuse to wear batting gloves. Even at club level you can face deliveries over 90 mph ( about 150 klm) and even over 100 mph is possible. You can even front up to a lower grade game on melfoid, synthetic grass or even concret, and face an A grade or Turf 1 bowler coming back from injury. Or face a rep’ fast bowler in an old farts competition.... if the bowler plays test cricket but is 36 yo or older, he can play in the seniors comp and bowl as fast as he likes. No one wore helmets until Tony Grieg chickened out against Lillee and Thompson around 1976 / 77. England had to recall both Edrich and Cowdrey to face Lillee and Thompson because the younger players didn’t have the courage. Colin Cowdrey was brilliant..... didn’t wear a helmut a deliberately took ball after ball on his body rather than get out. Edrich showed the younger players up too. England is not pay much back then.... Cowdrey had to take time off work and lose money to play for his country. At least they paid his air fare to Australia and I assume his lodgings as well. Not sure how he got home to England. lol One bouncer is always legal. A lethal ball that is pitched in the batsman half is not a bouncer, it is a long hop. Long hops are supposed to be smashed to the boundary as easy runs. At 90 mph the batsman has about 3 to 4,tenths of a second to see the ball and play it. Takes over a tenth to actually see the ball.... So he has about 2 tenths left..... 1 tenth to pick up the line and judge the length. Another tenth to decide on what to do, move the feet, adjust the body weight, read any late movement in the air, adjust for sideways movement off the pitch, adjust for unexpected bounce--- and then play the shot or get out of the way.

A new cricket ball is as hard a rock and the seam will cut your skin in some circumstances. You cannot just get out of the way as the ball moves in the air and when it hits the seam on the pitch. At 90mph you have less than a second to react. When teams have bowlers 88mph+ it's not uncommon for batsmen getting hit. As you can see you have about enough time to turn your face away but not to duck. There have been deliveries recorded at 100mph

The way Steve Smith got hit was somewhat similar to the way Phil Hughes was hit when he died. The helmets nowadays can have extra padding added to cover the neck and lower skull, but not all batsmen wear the padding, its not required in the game yet.

I watched his injury many times but today I realised that his helmet is an old type not a new one 🙄😁

So recently a very good cricketer by the name of Phil Hughes died after being hit in the same place as the batsman at 3:40 in the video..The batsman at 3:40 Steve Smith was also present on the day Phil Hughes died. From the time the ball is released to the time it gets to the batsman is around 0.03 seconds...the ball weighs 156grams moving at over 100mph and the ball is rock hard it's made from a ball of cork wrapped in threads of cotton then wrapped in two semi circles of treated leather stitched together...The leather outside is sprayed in lacquer which makes it very hard

Minor injuries are very common like breaking of finger etc major injuries are also fairly common

Doesn’t matter how much it weighs. When Brett Lee bowls it’s going 95-100mph

Cricket balls are very hard. There is no penalty in most cases, but the batter can retire hurt and leave the pitch. If circumstances allow, they can come back later, but with a head blow, they will probably stay off nowadays.

And these are some of the finest batters of the history of the game ❤ cricket is brutal man 🔥

All these deliveries were perfectly legal 😂 Cricket can be beautiful and savage at the same time.

Bouncers are legal and pretty fun and aggressive tactic in cricket.....many bowlers use them brilliantly

You guyz can research about the "Body Line" tactics employed by England in 1932-33 against Australia...that time batsmen had very few protective gear, pitches were uncovered over night & there was no restrictions over the number of bouncers in an over. They bowled as many bouncers as they could & injured many players to the extend of hospitalization. That series changed many rules for the game of cricket.

A PENALTY, for WHAT?

As an answer to your question, I can say that, a bouncer is a legal delivery, and bowls anticiating the batter to play a particular shot and the fielder will be placed for a catch. Also, speedy bouncer may surprise the batter and chances of edging and catching by the keeper. The bowler will be trying for these. The batter, will be a trained professional and they have to face those. They will play shots like pullshot, hookshot, uppercut etc to produce good scoring againts these balls. Also they have freedom to leave the ball. Still, if the batter was completely out of clue, due to his problem or the exceptional execution by the bowler, instead of playing that ball, they may get hitted. Nothing issues, they can leave the pitch or they can continue.

The first time I faced a hard ball,I was around 13 or so and it hit me on the thigh with no thigh guard. The pain and sting was immense. The next day ,a big ,proud bruise greeted me! Also getting hit on the elbow and especially fingers is quite common.Groin ...

Yk Cricket is called The Gentleman's game and it's true indeed coz even after all these terrific bowls and people getting hurt they don't fight over that cause !! 3:10... The guy who was hit on his neck is STEVE 'Unstoppable' SMITH...He is a member of the "FAB 4" (the list of the 4 exceptionally legendary batsmen in world cricket )...He shares his position along with KANE 'Classic' 'Consistent' WILLIAMSON VIRAT 'Run Machine' KOHLI JOE 'Resistant' 'Resilient' ROOT

Basically the ball is cork with leather coated

There are batsmen who don't even use helmets...in cricket u could actually aim to "soften" a batsman up by intending to hit him with bouncers

in answer to your question "how do they not see it coming like that?" that's the whole trick of fast bowling. The ball has a large seam running down the middle, and they work to shine the ball on one side and rough it on the other. That, combined with bowling technique allows fast bowls to 'swing' the ball, which makes it travel horizontally unpredictably in the air during flight. That 'swing' combined with the seam, and the unpredictability of the 'pitch', which depending on the stadium and nation will dry out and crack - or over the course of a test or one dayer, get roughed up by the players both intentionally and unintentionally, creates a bounce that is difficult to predict. Depending on the bowler's strategy, but they might deliver a series of similar balls and then follow it up with a bouncer like you're seeing here. They're typically not this bad, this is a clip video of really effective ones. But you can imagine, one that just changes the flight enough to make someone try and hit it, miss it by just enough to edge the ball and facilitate a catch. Or maybe, intimidate the batsman, causing mistakes.

Pakistan used to have some killer bouncers but not only that but also toe crushes In swinging yorkers too

How it gets through is the ball sometimes can squeeze itself through the grill. And most players find the view obstructed with helmets with a grill close enough to stop the odd squeezing ball

That is why cricket is a gentleman's game, cause after everything is said and done you are just playing for the team ,you can't hold grudges cause the situation won't let you,only few players and i mean very tiny amount are talented enough to hold grudges and see it through most of the time it amounts to nothing cause it is a game of patience, resilience and intelligence,more than physical fitness you need to be mentally tough and should know how to absorb the pressure.

I play for my school in the 80s in the days before helmets were compulsory. I faced a boy who was twice the size of the rest of us and bowled like a County player.

an aussie batsman phil hughes died by a bouncer ball😥😥

8:00...the ball is hard as a rock....but no mittens allowed for catches ......its part of the game.....

These injuries are not as frequent as this video might suggest but they do happen. The reason for these helmets being slightly lose is because of visibility and comfort, a batsman might be required to bat out there in hot and humid conditions for hours and having super safe but super constricting helmet makes things very difficult.

A Cricket ball weighs 156-163 grams. It reaches to batsman in half a seconds time when delivered in 145-150 kmph. So batsman has got half a second to decide whether to hit it or leave it. And in that process ball often hits the helmet.

Next: low blows in cricket

The ball is literally like a ROCK , much harder than a baseball

Bouncers are a legitimate delivery. The onus is on the batsman to either play the ball or get out of the way.

Nothing better than seeing a fired up fast bowler being taken on by a top class batsman

If you want to see bouncers check. Out 1975 to 1992 when you were able to bowl any amount of bouncers. Check out the following bowlers lily Thompson Marshall Robert's holding and garner

When a fast bowler releases the ball from his hand, the batsman has approximately half a second to make a decision on whether he will play a shot, what type of shot, or should he get out of the way. Bear in mind he also has to judge where the ball will land on the pitch. Not easy, in fact I don't know how they do it.

The ball is slightly smaller than a baseball, but much harder, and it has a single raised seam, when you get hit by the seam it can cut you badly, I'm speaking from experience

Sunil Gavaskar played without helmet ⛑️ all his matches against West Indies, Australia, Pakistan. They all had the best Fast Bowlers. 😊🙏

Yeh even after blowes like that it's still "GENTLEMAN'S GAME!" nothing like baseball and soccer brawls.

The ball is a hard cork wrapped in leather. The fastest ball bowled in cricket is 99.7mph… once of Australias greatest batsman Phil Hughes may he R.I.P, during a game was struck in the back of the neck/head by a bounces and he died from the injury 27 November 2014 at the age of 25. The rule is you only get to bowl 2 short balls/bouncers in an over. If you bowl more then 2 in one over, the batting team gets 1 run and the bowler has to re bowl that ball and get a warning, if you get warned 3 times in 1 over you’re taken off for the rest of the game and can’t bowl again

When I started watching cricket as a kid, they never used to even wear helmets just soft caps. Crazy!

Watch 70s, 80s and early 90s test cricket. The west indies had the best bowling attack in the world. Back then it was brutal. There is a documentary about it. I think it is callec fires in babylon.

2:30 when the ball is in play, it is war. When the ball is dead, they are brothers. This is the gentleman's game

It's common in cricket, injuries happen quite often but they aren't really bad. Also it is legal to bowl bouncers targeting face or shoulders, yet one can only bowl 2 bouncers in 6 balls. These days batsmen gear is redesigned and puts batsmen safety first

When I started watching cricket back in the 1980's it was optional many players didn't wear them in those days , and not too long before that , there were no helmets !

- In cricket there are no strike zones like in baseball. The only rule is that the ball is released behind the bowlers line and that the ball passes within reach of the batsman. That's the simple explanation, there are other laws that are a little more complex than that but that's the gist of it. At 3:50 that is Steve Smith, where he got hit in the neck was very similar to where another Australian player got hit in a state level match and was killed just a few years earlier in 2014, so many people were very worried for a few seconds. - A cricket ball is slightly smaller than a baseball but is slightly heavier by 1/4 to 1/2 an ounce. It is much harder and durable than a baseball as it is used for far longer periods and the ball is bowled into the ground which has been prepared and compacted. - Injuries aren't that prevalent in the higher forms of the game, although you may see players hit multiple times in an innings. It's a true test on one's mettle to keep playing and be of use to the team. It's not very often that a player is injured to the point of having to leave the field.

I think Americans wold love cricket and be very good at it after a few years but it's a surprisingly tough sport. Cricket players have a certain bravery.

G'day gentlemen. Nice reaction. The cricket ball is like a brick. The fastest delivery was almost 160 KM per hour! An Aussie batsman was struck in the head and died. Tragic.

Back then a bowler could bowl multiple bouncers per an over but then they changed rules so now only one bouncer can be bowled per an over..

A cricket ball is slightly smaller but heavier and harder than a baseball (same basic construction but the leather is lacquered). Plus the raised seam tends to cut or leave a nasty imprint.

Indoor cricket 110g.junior 142gm, adult 156 gm. An Aussie died, hit in a neck artery.

Batters getting hit with a leather ball harder than rock at more than 130 Kmph on their faces is not a joke !!! When that stone hits your helmet or head...a current rushes down to the core of your body... You lose your senses for some seconds .. It's painful as hell But after all of this... they get up and play coz they can't be substituted (like a football game)... IF U'RE HURT, YOU'RE OUT

Try and find the video of Mike Gatting getting a bouncer right on the nose - blood everywhere. Fantastic.

You asked "how hard is the ball" Answer...VERY..

45 batsmen have died playing cricket since the beginning of the game, a total of 85 people have died from cricket related injuries

Bouncers are legal in cricket,and pace bowlers use it to get a batsman to play expecting to get a catch.

A Cricket ball is heavier than a Base ball by 15-20% but much harder as it has a wooden core with hard lacquer and elevated stitching - a bowl and a pitch in both games are almost same speeds topping 100mph, but the Cricket batsman is about 2m/6ft closer to the bowl/pitch release of the ball - and of course the bounce of the bowl is unpredictable off the hard cricket pitch... and happily legal to aim at any part of the batsman including the head... so getting hit like this videos is just part of the fun (and yes players do die... don't look up those vids please)

Injuries are rare. The ball is slightly softer than stone, coming at you at 140kph/90mph. At least one batsman has been killed (Philip Hughes, God rest him). The most injuries are strains. As a spin bowler in school I struggled with shoulder strain quite a bit.

4:31 I could watch that all day!

Oh and the ball is slightly smaller and slightly heavier than a baseball for comparison.

The ball's basically a brick flying towards you at the speed of 70-90 mph. It's pretty deadly.

It happens very often ... On some occasions multiple tyms in a match

Go get urself a cricket ball and see how hard it is. The bounce is on the bowler and you can't judge how much the bowler will make the bounce and at what speed.

7:47 I'm laughing hard when he ask that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's called good bowling.

It is the bounce off the pitch that makes it hard. It can be a little unpredictable. Also batsman try to show that it did not hurt to not give the bowler encouragement. It is very tough

It's harder than a baseball. You'll see majority of the Pakistani fastest bowler hitting the bastmen coz Pakistan bowlers usually bowl around 95-100miles/h 150kph plus.

A cricket ball at full speed can break your bones and stop your heart.
