Cricket Helmets
Having seen some fairly strong views on this topic I was wondering what others think about cricket helmets and their use in the modern game. I'm not talking from a safety point of view as it's pretty clear that they make the game safer (especially for youngsters).
Do you think that they help youngsters or hinder them in terms of skill and learning the game? Do helmets make them lazy with their shots as they feel an that due to the fibre glass and metal perched on their heads they can play later or is that a good thing? Do they give extra confidence and is this a good thing?
Have helmets helped to breed a more aggressive cricketer, as seen by the increase in scoring rates in recent years?
Would bowlers like Trueman been as effective if helmets were around during their careers?
