Hats off to India's Gavaskars' & Vishwanaths' of 1970's who faced world's fastest bowling battery of West Indies & Australia without any protective gear and without having a single fast bowler of world standard at that time from India. I wonder how these 2 little masters developed their technique when there was not a single fast bowler to bowl at them in the nets and they did not had a single injury in their whole carrier. Further the credit goes more to our little masters because that time there was no restriction on no. of bouncers to be bowled in one over. In spite of all the modern gadgets available today one has to develop technique over the years to face these bouncers successfully.
Though all of the cricketers have not died as same as Phill, but all the instance has occured in County matches or domestic matches. Its a matter to be noted.
All profession has risk, bigger the risk bigger the money but some die in vein, earning nothing but sorrow for the people whom they left behind!RIP ALL GENTLEMEN!
