To analyse injuries in West Indies Cricket and compare them with those of other cricket playing nations.
Injuries between June 2003 and December 2004 were surveyed prospectively in all major matches of the West Indies Cricket Board.
Most injuries occurred in the West Indies Test and one day international teams. Mean match injury incidence was 48.7 per 10,000 player-hours in Test cricket, and 40.6 per 10,000 player-hours in one day international cricket, with injury prevalence of 11.3% and 8.1% respectively. In domestic cricket, the match injury incidence was 13.9 per 10,000 player-hours for first class cricket, and 25.4 per 10,000 player-hours in one day domestic competitions. There were more injuries on tour for the West Indies team than at home. The batsmen and fast bowlers sustained 80% of injuries, with many leading to long absence from the game, although many of these injuries were sustained while fielding. Most injuries were of the phalanges (22%) and the lumbar spine (20%) sustained mainly while fielding (including catching) and fast bowling respectively.
Injuries in West Indies cricket may be reduced by (a) early detection and management of injuries on tour, (b) attention to fielding and catching techniques, and (c) monitoring of young fast bowlers.
分析西印度群岛板球运动中的损伤情况，并与其他板球运动国家的损伤情况进行比较。
对2003年6月至2004年12月期间西印度群岛板球委员会所有主要比赛中的损伤情况进行前瞻性调查。
大多数损伤发生在西印度群岛的测试赛和一天国际赛队伍中。测试赛中平均每场比赛的损伤发生率为每10000球员小时48.7例，一天国际赛中为每10000球员小时40.6例，损伤患病率分别为11.3%和8.1%。在国内板球比赛中，一流板球比赛的每场比赛损伤发生率为每10000球员小时13.9例，一天国内比赛中为每10000球员小时25.4例。西印度群岛球队在巡回比赛中的损伤比在主场更多。击球手和快速投球手遭受了80%的损伤，许多损伤导致球员长期缺赛，尽管其中许多损伤是在防守时发生的。大多数损伤发生在指骨（22%）和腰椎（20%），分别主要在防守（包括接球）和快速投球时发生。
西印度群岛板球运动中的损伤可通过以下方式减少：（a）在巡回比赛中早期发现和处理损伤；（b）关注防守和接球技术；（c）监测年轻的快速投球手。
