Helmets are still not worn uniformly by batsmen in cricket, and that seems odd with everything we know about concussions and the death of Phil Hughes. In this episode, Snehal Pradhan - the former Indian cricketer - comes on to talk about the need for batters to wear helmets even when facing spin. We chat about Sultan Zarawani, Bermuda batters, Brian Close, Virat Kohli, freak accidents, concussion, helmet design, seat belts and how fast Snehal was. Or wasn’t.
