To determine whether colour blindness affects batting in professional cricketers.
Comparison of batting averages of colour blind cricketers and those with normal vision.
Players on 18 first class county cricket teams.
280 of 306 players were tested.
Results of Isihara colour blindness tests.
Batting average for the colour blind group (12 players) was slightly lower than for players with normal vision (20.88 v 26.31). There was no difference in the number of batsmen and bowlers affected. Batting averages before and after the introduction of the white ball into Sunday League cricket did not differ significantly.
That batting performance is not significantly impaired by colour blindness suggests that to some extent these players are self selected. Routine testing of cricketers for colour blindness is not recommended.
确定色盲是否会影响职业板球运动员的击球表现。
比较色盲板球运动员与视力正常的运动员的击球平均得分。
18支一流郡级板球队的球员。
306名球员中的280名接受了测试。
石原色盲测试结果。
色盲组（12名球员）的击球平均得分略低于视力正常的球员（分别为20.88和26.31）。受影响的击球手和投球手数量没有差异。在周日联赛板球比赛中引入白球前后的击球平均得分没有显著差异。
色盲并未显著损害击球表现，这表明在某种程度上这些球员是自我选择的。不建议对板球运动员进行常规色盲测试。
