Overview

Cricketer David Lloyd shows Anglia TV a new headguard, this one being used in lacrosse games, which is very similar to the head protection that will be introduced for cricket fielding. Lancashire and England player Lloyd, nickname “Bumble”, thinks the headgear looks a bit silly, nonetheless following Roger Davis taking a hit in recent weeks he thinks perhaps it’s still a good idea!
