Played with a bloke who broke a rib fielding at slip.
Dropped a catch and in doing so, fell on the ball after it hit the ground.
Fair to say he copped some “ribbing” from his team mates.
Not trying to blow wind up my clacker but I used to get a bit pace going back in the day. we were playing at the Gawler Dog Track and I had a nice breeze to work with, I found the edge and Marty Reading, our 6 foot 8, 140kg slip fielder stuck his hand out to catch it, it hit him on the the inside of the wrist (where the veins are), it dropped him like a sack of shit, out cold immediately, it was freaky, he wasn't well for some time after that.
