Description

Introduction Long-term injury surveillance has been carried out in Australia, South Africa and England with the view to identifying injury patterns. (1-3) Data of injuries to Australian state and national cricketers were collected retrospectively for the first three seasons (1995-1996 season-1997-1998 season) and then prospectively for the next six seasons (1999-2000 season-2004-2005 season). (3) Of the 886 injuries recorded, 92% were new injuries, 8% were recurrent injuries and 52% occurred during major matches. The injuries were mainly sustained while bowling (45%), with lower limb injuries accounting for 49% of the injuries. The mean incidence of injuries during matches for the season (injuries/10000 player hours) was reported for domestic one-day (38.5), first-class (27.3), one-day international (ODI) (59.8) and test (31.4) matches. Fast bowlers missed about 16% of potential playing time because of injury, while other players missed less than 5%.
