Bloody Minded Innings in Cricket.

[Shri]

i had experienced dehydration while playing, but when u are in the zone you really dont feel it,its only after the match u feel its effect. i played 3 concecutive 20 over matches in the heat of june in Delhi. and i am an allrounder so in between 2nd match or 3rd match i got dehydrated regularly and yet keep on playing just coz i was playing well,though the day i got out early or batsmen were hammering me i feel it more. so i know it is threatning but when u are dteremined it doesnt affect as much as broken toe, nose or bruised elbows. it affect body more after the match is finished. okay,i am not taking anything away from Dean jones innings, coz u gotta have balls to play in heat after dehydration

well what painkiller would stop the hallucination in vision caused by a broken nose or a spinal injury(sachin 1999). even if you give painkiller the slightest facial movement causes blurry vision when you got a broken nose. i never played cricket with a helmet in my life so i have my own fair share of broken nose experiences. as far as snila injury is concerned,well a player might not feel the pain after painkillers but still wont be able to run properly and cannot play sweep shots and would use only backfoot shots. maybe i shud remind you, sachin was never the sachin of old after that broken back injury

Wait, pain killers are not used for dehydration. Know it from experience. Got dehydrated once after having a viral fever once and I was given one of those liquids through a needle(not sure what its called) stuck in my hand. Did'nt feel any pain at all when I was dehydrated. I was just exhausted. Nothing else.

You can easily play on through painkillers but moden painfillers (50s onwards) have very, very few side effects. This stuff about hallucinations in in my opinion frankly just fantastical claims. I've been on pretty strong painkillers before for various things, the worst included a double fracture of my leg and I wasn't hallucinating. I was anything, I just not in pain anymore. There are far more examples of people playing on through broken bones with painkillers than there are of people playing on whilst being dehydrated, surely that statement sort of proves that it's easier to play all painkillered up than it is to while suffering dehydration.

During dehydration a lot of things happen, as seen in the Dean Jones case - Sever cramping, lose of bodily functions amongst several other effects. The wors case senario from dehydration is death. Whereas the worst case senario from a broken toe or finger, excluding if the afflicted person starts to cut it open and play in muddy, dirty trenches/water is a few days without the function of it.

Also, did he seriously just compared himself playing 3 social 20/20 games to batting for over ten hours in a test match? Wow.

i was 14 year old when i did this. so for a 14 year old kid playing 3 consecutive 20 over matches in the heat of june in india(45degree celsius) is really taxing. everytime i was dehydrated by the end of second match. i am not comparing myself with dean jones,though just letting you know that 3 consecutive 20 over matches takes almost 8 hours to complete. in those i had to open the batting for my team and bowl 4 complete overs of fast bowling in every match. i cudnt get up once i hit the bed after the 3 matches. dude time passes like nothing after that. during batting by the 3rd match i cudnt use my normal stand so i had to stand a little more upright and during bowling,dehydration sometime causes my left shoulder fall early during delivery stride resulting in a massive wide or a beamer. so i felt it during the match. yet i played coz i know i can. while ,when i got hit in the nose, i got out soon after. my head would be spinning all over the place.

this one is for the one who said painkillers dont cause hallucination, well i never said it causes, i said painkiller just eases the pain but when u got a broken nose it causes hallucinations and blurry vision. its a fact. even though painkiller removes pain but it cannot remove the problems caused in vision.

I'm no doctor but that sounds more like concussion to me..... I know that English isn't your first language but how about starting a new sentence with a capital letter? Makes posts alot easier to read.

You're seriously misinterpreting dehydration, my mother was nearly hospitalised because of it, if you had been dehydrated you really wouldn't be able to play so much cricket especially at such a young age.

 

[Shri]

You mean saline?

Yeah. Saline.

 

[.Mob]

Yeah, my little brother once dehydrated, looked completely lifeless and his eyes were a frightening sight as he was laying down before we took him to hospital. I was absolutely crapping myself, and I have no idea how Deano managed such an innings. Truly remarkable.

Shri - lol, sorry.

(If that is sarcasm, that is)

Ok then lets just put a stop to this and start posting bout players and their innings.

 

[Shri]

:boxingwell You should have thought that before refering to my post as if i had said "Painkillers are used for Dehydration". I accept deanp played well:hpraise now move on, we have stuck to this innings for so long just coz of this dehydration discussion. post:onpc more innings. and for you Shri GROW UP.

I will grow up when you take your pin-dick posts off this site.

Perth is a warm place, but isn't very humid. High humidity and high temperature combined is much more oppressive than high temperature alone. In so far that it's not totally common for players to bat all day, it's not all that uncommon for players to feel the heat.

VVS Laxman was severely dehydrated after his incredible double century at Eden Gardens in 2001. Having batted for more than 10 hours, he was given IV fluids overnight and struggled to continue an already well done job the next morning.

Rahul Dravid was even worse for wear when he scored a century in Mumbai against the West Indies the next year. He was visibly cramping and retired hurt as soon as he reached the milestone, which was the rare feat of being his fourth in four matches. He had to be carried off the field and was also administered with a saline drip.

People get dehydrated in dry conditions as well as humid conditions.

Perth Test of 1997, recorded temperatures near 40-45 degrees. The heat was so much that bowlers had to bowl one-over spells. Certainly that didnt occur in Chennai test.

Am not taking anything away from Deano's performance. For me that was "THE" Aussie innings, gutsy over my dead body stuff. But to label it as the ultimate act of bravery is a bit one-eyed. As I mentioned above, I'd place Walsh's efforts over his any day.

Bert Suttcliffe's quick fire 80* against South Africa in 1953 after being hit in the head by Neil Adcock and having to go to hospital before he'd got off the mark. He also added 33 runs for the last wicket in 10 minutes with Bob Blair who displayed his own form of heroism by going out to bat having found out earlier in the day that his fiancee had died in a railway crash a couple of days earlier and he was too far away to be able to attend the funeral.

Malcolm Marshall getting 7-for against England with a cast on his non-bowling arm.

Was going to mention this myself. What a guy.
