Many people, after the death of Phillip Hughes, are saying not even 2 bouncers should be allowed in an over, that according to me, isn't actually right. The death of Phil Hughes was due to misjudgment of a bouncer and not just a bouncer alone.
Not the rules, but the safety standards of cricket need to be increased. It should not be forgotten that Phil was wearing a Masuri helmet which didn't have any protection for the area he was struck at, the helmet was an outdated one.
Here is a comparison between an Indian Helmet and the one Phil was using by TOI. Indeed, an Indian helmet might have saved Hughes! :(
No matter how expensive it is, we should always choose the safest, if we are safe, we can earn much more in the future. Don't compromise on safety, you can show off later!
