    Great story, but.....

    .....that caption under his photo is a bit unfortunate!! Don't they have to remove jewellery before they take to the field?

    Not meaning to sound ignorant towards the blind, but how to they play blind cricket??

    How do they know where the ball has gone?

    Just like cricket they have umpires, scorers etc. The ball is bigger and has a rattle in it. The rules have been changed slightly to suit the different levels of sight that the players have. Players are assessed their disability (some are completely blind others partially sighted) and graded accordingly and a team of eleven has to be made up of those grades (B1 TO B4)

    Its all there at your fingertips mate. Do a search.. The rules will be on there somewhere
