#1 And some people think full-contact sports like football are dangerous.

#2 Cricket had its origin as a joust- pitch a rock hard ball at a man holding a stick- see how he deals with it. Points for style. Now it's your turn, mate. Cop this.
This attitude still enlivens the game.
But Mamun should not have hit Jahid with the bat. That is frowned upon. He had to hit him with the ball, or not at all.

#3 Seems a shame to beat someone to death over a game where no one understand the rules anyway.
