All jokes aside, an Australian cricketer died some years ago when a ball hit him in the head. Cricket balls are almost like a solid, ball shaped piece of concrete. Brett Lee, the bowler, is one of the world's all time best fast bowlers. He was already retired when this was done.
Yes that was the young NSW batsman Philip Hughes. In the 1980s the New Zealand player Ewan Chatfield was hit on the heart; he collapsed on the pitch as his heart stopped beating (i.e. he technically died) and was resuscitated.
In case you Americans are wondering, a cricket ball is a rock hard piece of wood and you would NOT ever want to be hit by a cricket ball coming at you at 90 MPH. A year after this incredibly stupid stunt, a professional Test match player called Phil Hughes was hit by a cricket ball in the back of the neck and killed. Trust me, a stupid stunt like this will never be allowed to happen again.
Lee was very much in control, but yeah - he was trying to hurt him. No bowler would behave like this in a real game, no umpire would allow it. It would be a brawl. That bouncer could have decapitated him had he charged, this is more horror than comedy. I always knew Lee was secret arsehole - nobody of his skill bowls that many beamers (in his playing days).
The games is called cricket. It's a different type of ball to a baseball, it's a lot harder and more solid than a baseball. It's not sand, it's heavily compressed soil. In how solid/hard it is, its probably closer to concrete than sand.
I think it’s the lacquer around the cricket ball that makes it harder. I would love to see an American doing some cricket fielding, much harder the baseball.
@@jasonrusby6797 Cricket was quite popular in America, especially Philadelphia, until Baseball really took off in the 1880s. It was seen as a more American sport whereas Cricket was colonial.
Brett Lee is a retired Australian cricketer.He was the fastest bowler along with sohaib akhtar back in 90s and whole 2000s.He was very lethal generally use to hurt with deadly bouncer to great batsman of his era.
Piers Morgan was lucky to dodge the one that was aimed at his head. Brett Lee and the other Australian bowlers had a little known competition between themselves. Who could crack the most helmets of their own team mates in practice. Just to add a little context 150kph is very, very fast, and the cricket ball is quite a bit harder than a baseball.
Morgan's criticism of the English "batsmen" on that tour was spot on; Johnson & Harris had them scared & they pussied out, practically running away back to the pavilion when it was their turn to bat.
Australia & England have played this cricket series against each other since before WW2.Its called the Ashes series.This Brett Lee can bowl at 100 MPH.Only 3 guys have ever bowled this fast,
This is just the kind of stunt that has led to Morgan fronting the UK's biggest TV news show despite having the intelligence of a wooden leg. In light of the Phil Hughes tragedy this is a sorry spectacle
If you can find it you need to see a West Indian Bowler called Michael Holding bowling to an English Batsman called Brian Close. It was in 1976, just before cricketers started wearing helmets. Three of the deliveries Just whistled past Close's chin as he just managed to avoid them. One of them caught him in the ribs. It was an incredible spell of bowling, although he did get warned by the umpire for bowling too many intimidatory deliveries.
I think it was in the mid 80's Malcom Marshal bowled a ball to mike Gatting it smashed into Gattings face and apparently a piece of Gattings bone was in the ball.
Clair, is was Phil Hughes who died after being hit on the back of the head by a ball from Sean Abbott. The incident happened November 2014, the Brett Lee Piers Morgan challenge occurred December 2013 at the practice nets attached to the MCG. At that point in time Brett Lee was still playing for the Sydney Sixers T20 franchise and had only just retired from all other forms of cricket. He took the most wickets for the Sydney Sixers in season 2014/5. Piers Morgan was an idiot for doing such and very lucky not to get badly hurt given Brett could see him backing away and bowled to where he was going hitting him several times.
@@Noyanistan Brett knocked down most batsmen than any bowler of course Shoaib was faster than Lee but Lee injured most batters than Akhter which could be good side of akhter tbh
Ashlyn said she is scared of this dude. she should be thats freakin Bret lee. One of the top bowlers of Cricket who can consistently bowl around 100 mph hr
VERY unprofessional of Brett Lee to behave like that. He was going flat out, even though he wasn't at his peak, it was way too sharp for a hack like Piers. Could have been badly hurt.
No, he was bowling at 80%. Brett Lee was actually defending the English cricketers who Piers bad mouthed saying he could play the Aussies better. Morgan showed zero respect to the English team, something Brett Lee has never done.
You do know that in baseball the hitter has to decide to swing at the ball the moment it leaves the pitcher's hands? In the MLB a fastball will cross home plate in .4 seconds. So think about that for a minute. The hitter has less then 1/10th of a second to decide to swing or not and then where to swing. Number 1 rule in the hitters box, keep your eye on the ball, if you blink you missed. Not sure how fast you need to react in cricket but it seems pretty similar.
Baseball needs faster reaction time, but cricket is different in the sense that bowlers will target your body...so intimidation factor does make a difference.
@@davidpalahinjak2664 Pretty insane! Props to all players in baseball and cricket who can actually hit a ball. Most people will never be able to, just like how Piers couldn't.
Though Brett Lee probably didn’t give his full, it was a stupid and risky stunt, even a a seasoned young batsman with quick response gets hit regularly, he could have been in the hospital or worse
@Astyn&Jon2.0 This game is called Cricket. 2nd most popular sports in the world. More popular than any American sports. Not knowing about this sports don't make AMERICANS like you stupid? 😆
Well, backing away doesn't take too much courage, after the first ball, his back leg went back & away reflecting great fear. His big mouth got him there & he didn't back it up. He got everything he deserved. Next time, perhaps show your own countrymen representing you some respect.

Yeah mate it fucking kills to catch one at full pace shame season has been cancelled this year idk what I'll do in the summer 🤣
It's Piers Morgan. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
This is not a joke
Bratt lee is one of the most fierced bowlers in the history of this game.
This guy is just playing with his life nothing else .

No batsman could confidently face Brett Lee as he bowled around 150 km/h. He is one of the record holders who has bowled 161 km/h 🔥.

Never ever run your mouth in front of a Fast bowler atleast not when hes the fastest bowler in the world.
React to a video showing how a skilled batsman deals with fast bowling please

& That game is called Cricket.
Brett was bowling around 80% his usual speed and far less planning and application of skills to move it laterally.
They slapped him around first and then applauded him for taking it like a boss. And sent him home 😂
Imagine facing him at international level 😂
5:30 that actually broke his rib, the next one hit him on the broken rib 😬

He shouldn't have faced Brett Lee on the go. You need to be perfectly fit to hit a fast ball accurately.
Start with some spin ballers.
No One yeah as if facing a professional spin bowler is easy. You will likely twist your wrist trying to play a professional spin bowler.
Really if u face a professional spin bowler like shane warne or mutiah muralitharan than ur just a kid
@@Ilovepineapple
Twist your wrist.. Lol.
Anyways one won't get any permanently injury while casually facing if he is not a fucking idiot.

FYI Brett Lee has been clocked at OVER 160km/h (100mph). At that speed, the batsman will have 0.45 seconds to react.

But I didn't see the ball.
