Hi all,
After so much of cribbing about my cricket freak accident, I am now counting my blessings. I just read the story of cricketeer Raman Lamba who died after the ball hit his head on the field. GOD! Thank God, it was not my head!
The story from Wikipedia:
Raman Lamba (born January 2, 1960 in Uttar Pradesh; died February 23, 1998 in Dhaka) was an Indian cricket player. The former Indian Test player died in a Dhaka hospital, aged 38. Three days earlier he had been hit on the temple while fielding, without a helmet, at short leg in front of a substantial crowd at a big club match at the Bangabandhu Stadium. Lamba walked off the field and the injury appeared not to be serious, but he suffered an internal haemorrhage and his condition worsened dramatically. A neurosurgeon was flown in from Delhi but it was already too late. The news caused widespread grief in both India and Bangladesh. Lamba was a popular cricketer in India, but in Bangladesh he was a legend.
Regards,
Namitha
