Oh, Poor Stuart!

[Tilly2]

Did you see that?

[maggiebee]

Who is Stuart??

[Frank97]

Not got sky, but listening on TMS, is it as nasty as it sounds?

[Tilly2]

Stuart Broad.

[Frank97]

Stuart Broad, Maggie.

[ubasses]

Made me wince.

[Tilly2]

He's gone off with a very bloody nose. The ball got stuck in the face shield.

[maggiebee]

Thanks, still none the wiser but gather he's a cricketer who had a bad injury.

[Tilly2]

He was lucky not to lose an eye, in my opinion.

[ubasses]

Wouldn't be surprised if he has a broken nose.

[Tilly2]

Stuart didn't come on the pitch at the end of the match. Well done, England.

[Daffy6543]

As cricketers are always referred to by their surnames it took me a while to realise you meant Broady. lol.

[Tilly2]

I always call him Stuart otherwise he might get mixed up with his dad.

[New Judge]

The cause of Broady's injury was the wearing of a helmet. It provides a false sense of security. As (I think it was) Sir Geoffrey once said "Batsmen don't need helmets. They have a bat to stop the ball hitting them in the face"

[factor-fiction]

I read he was going to have to play wearing a mask in the next match, tilly.

[New Judge]

This is a much better way to handle the problem:
