My brother is gone be playing cricket at school, anyway he said he wont wear a helmet so I just wanted to ask what do others do when they've played at school.

I used to play cricket back home, never wore a helmet and fortunately never got hit by those hard leather balls. If he thinks he can play without the helmet then it should be fine. Some of my teammates wore a parna(small turban) underneath the helmet.

NO NO NO NO, dont let him bat without a helmet man. those fast bowlers can really throw the circket ball at your face at phenominal speed and it hurts like hell when you get hit. i'm speaking from experience, could also be fatal actually.

does he have a big jura? if so, i guess he can do like 2 of jurey and wear a slightly bigger helmet :@ or if he's comortable enough, do a lil gut and let it hang at the back of his neck, put a big rumaal on to cover it :TH:

Personally I never wanted to use halmet when I played, let it be cricket or baseball... n don't remember if I ever did... but looking back and seeing that I did have bleedy nose at times n some friend kinda lost front 2 teeth coz he felt the same about halmet tongue.gif ...

So I wouldn't suggest playing without a halmet... specially when you are up against a pacer with a hard ball... mann that can do lot more damage than u can imagine...

If your bro is concerned about wearing a halmet coz of patka or pagg, it for his own protection, that face guard won't help at all times... There are certain situations were its better to comply...den to be sorry... but it all ends up at the extent of ur complement

From sikhi point of view isn't helmet a topi??? if yes isn't it banned for sikhs??. But in cricket i feel there is no substitute for helmet, last summer i escaped literally a skull fracture when i tried marillier shot to a fast bowler which didnt come off as i wanted and ball hit my helmet straight off the bat. It was scary man. Thanx helmet!!!!

this is what i do and i play cricket, i have a joora aswell, i put the hair back and wear my patka as a bandana over it which keeps the hair in check and doesnt let it fly across your face, the thing is if you stick the helmet right over your joora the metal grill will sit higher therefore exposing your chin and the back of your head, until the age of 18 it is compulsory for cricketers to wear helmets

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
