This study analyses injuries occurring to Australian male cricketers at the state and national levels over 10 years using recently published international definitions of injury. Data was collected retrospectively for 3 years and then prospectively over the final 7 years. Injury incidence has stayed at a fairly constant level over the 10 years. Injury prevalence has gradually increased over the 10-year period but fell in season 2004-2005. Increasing match scheduling over the 10-year period has probably contributed to the increasing injury prevalence. Fast bowlers miss, through injury, about 16% of all potential playing time, whereas the prevalence rate for all other positions is less than 5%. Some match and schedule-related risks for bowling injury have been noted, including a greater risk of injury in the second innings of first class matches (compared to the first innings), a greater risk of injury in the second game of back-to-back matches and an increased risk of injury in the rare situation of enforcing the follow-on in a test match. The introduction of a boundary rope at all grounds has successfully eliminated the mechanism of injury from collision with fences whilst fielding. Cricket is a much safer sport to play at the elite level for batsmen, fieldsmen, wicketkeepers, and spin bowlers than the football codes, which are the other most popular professional sports in Australia.
本研究运用最近发布的国际损伤定义，分析了澳大利亚男性板球运动员在10年里于州级和国家级赛事中所受的损伤情况。数据先是回顾性收集了3年，然后在前瞻性研究的最后7年里进行收集。在这10年中，损伤发生率一直保持在相当稳定的水平。损伤患病率在这10年期间逐渐上升，但在2004 - 2005赛季有所下降。10年期间比赛赛程安排的增加可能是损伤患病率上升的原因。快速投球手因伤错过的潜在比赛时间约占全部潜在比赛时间的16%，而其他所有位置的患病率均低于5%。已注意到一些与比赛和赛程相关的投球损伤风险，包括一流比赛第二局（与第一局相比）受伤风险更大、连续比赛的第二场比赛受伤风险更大以及在测试赛中罕见的强制继续比赛情况下受伤风险增加。在所有场地引入边界绳已成功消除了防守时与围栏碰撞导致损伤的机制。对于击球手、外野手、守门员和旋转投球手来说，在精英水平上，板球运动比澳大利亚其他最受欢迎的职业运动——足球项目要安全得多。
