They're letting a grown man play cricket with girls.

And he's bowling. Are they friggin' insane?

For I'm guessing the vast majority of you who aren't familiar with cricket, being on the receiving end of a cricket ball can be genuinely dangerous. It's entirely possible to break bones in your hand even with protective gloves on, because the ball's basically a rock and if the guy's a fast bowler it's coming at your face at 80-ish mph - fastest delivery on record is just over 100mph but I'm guessing some random dude won't be able to manage that.

To emphasise how dangerous it can be, there's been two deaths in the last decade. On both occasions, the batter took the hit from the cricket ball on the neck, which is difficult to protect with padding, and died as a result.
