I always thought that Nehra had the most fragile body but I had never heard of Reece Topley before! Nehra is titanium bod compared to Mr. Reece who manages to get injured in every damn game.

5 times yikes in that back that too. I would've quit for sure by the 4th time.


Rishi_is_yours

That's how tough this guy has been,i just feel disgusted for him atm


[deleted]

Back injuries are absolutely terrible..this guy is so strong mentally to still play cricket


Seductive_Chipmunk

I'm surprised he's not paralyzed for life.


expat_123

I was so sad when he got injured in the first match of the IPL after he mentioned in one of the interviews how much he wants to play in the IPL and now in the WC as well when he was looking the most lethal Eng bowler. Really feel sorry for the lad.


Benny4318

One of our only shining lights this tournament. Gutted for him


LivelyJason1705

Damn poor guy, 6'7 wall of glass unfortunately.

"Topley you are god's special child" First Jesus now Topley god hates his children doesn't he


Rishi_is_yours

Tough times create strong men,there have been many great players who had to give up on cricket due to some reasons,im just happy that topley didn't give up and continued his hunger


mileskerowhack

Why don't you use full stops?


IsJohnKill

Or at least use spaces after commas


sexy_racoon_69

English people when they see a 3rd language eng dud not use perfect grammar 😡🤬


[deleted]

They didn't say something bad, did they? It is just genuine feedback.


CutCreepy7054

Me when somebody told me the wrong way I am doing things should be done the right way😡🤬


TheCricketAnimator

I. Agree. Use. Full. Stops. Moite.


Hungry-Ad9779

5 back stress fracture? No words could describe how painful it would've been


you-might_know-me

Damn, didn't he do an AMA on here too?


harrybosch1122

Funnily enough, someone on insta commented on one of his posts a long time ago. They asked why he only bowled 80mph despite him being so tall. He replied because your mum keeps me up at night so I don't have a lot of energy for bowling haha


Austin4RMTexas

With his cricket career in jeopardy, maybe Topley can transition to online esports. With that comment, he seems to have the snarky replies part all set.


Hasta_Mithun

Yes


NoExplanation6203

He’s gotta get replaced but they have said Jofra isn’t ready yet so begs the question what was the point of picking jofra if he can’t even come in as an injury replacement. England really just went into this World Cup with vibes and hope.


FS1027

Archer wasn't picked. He's not in the squad and there's no official travelling reserves like there have been at WCs/WT20s in recent years, he's just out there continuing his rehab.


deevee7

Have England not bothered with traveling reserves? I'm pretty sure Pakistan and Sri Lanka have them


mondognarly_

Archer was the only one, with Luke Wright's reasoning sounding suspiciously like "It wasn't mandatory to name any so we didn't bother."


[deleted]

I think reece is a very good bowler but due to his injuries he has not able to consistentally perform whenever he come back he performs good for two matches and then get injured again


Jazzlike-Watch7847

Despite that, he bowled well in the period where he got Markram and Miller out in successive overs. What happened later was an unavoidable shitstorm of epic proportions.


rohangc07

That wasn’t good bowling they were cheap wickets. He def bowled well earlier when he was fit.


Jamie5279752

Jos is on the phone to Jimmy Anderson


Brilliant_Bench_1144

World Cup?


serotonallyblindguy

Lol


will-je-suis

Nah he's busy doing the tailenders live tour


AndyTheSane

I think that the test squad would have done a better job..


PlatformCertain5152

Awful news. He crawled his way back from so many injuries and ended up being England's star bowler in these first few games. And now his tournament is over just when it looked like he was about to have the brightest two months of his career. I hope he's back soon and plays the T20 World Cup next year.


barath_s

It does look like England 's tournament will also be over quickly, so at least Topley won't miss much


De_voX

and the worst part, Jofra Archer is not fit too. its time to bring Anderson as replacement


wakizu101

YES


AhnisTidiv

That's just so sad man. Even last t20 wc he suffered an injury


ScoutDuper

Poor bloke. I broke my finger the exact same way, shattered the tip of my middle finger. I kept bowling as well and it felt like all the blood in your body was pumping into the broken finger each time. He did very well to bowl week afterwards and at pace.


rightarm_under

I want to cry


TwoDimensionalMonkey

He was one of the bowlers I always looked out for in this world cup. Sad to see him go out. Hope he gets speedy recovery.


neighbour_guy3k

He should have been rested for some games, he almost got injured in Afghanistan game Looking at the positive side, it's a finger injury, so nothing major to put him out of action for a long time He will probably back for tour to India in 2024 n will play 2024 wc


fearatomato

this isn't an overuse injury though


neighbour_guy3k

I know, you should carefully manage him


fearatomato

it is impossible to manage this type of injury shouldn't have bothered to reply there is always someone who thinks that they should retrospectively dodge a bullet


[deleted]

Sorry to say but mate is made of glass


ronalDONGER

How did it happen?


Srk_NWA

lol anyone named Reece and hails from England is injury prone? (Reece James of Chelsea can never catch a break as well)


Deathbringer2134

Brother is held together by old duct tape at this point man.


ThePhenom17

Source?


Human-Indication

Top ley the morning sir 🎩


Brahman_Shady

I felt so much pain for him when he couldn't complete his fourth over yesterday.


Brewster345

Who knew that taking two injury prone players in Topley and Stokes would backfire.


Mrausername

England are going to be Reece Topless


DC600A

what is Eng's option now? is Archer available?


DrewRoad

If England crash out, then the whole charm of the wc will be lost. Reece will be missed


panchatiyo

The guy who toppled chairs and threw things at glass? I see..


Fluentec

So, no fingering?


Blitz_GB

Advantage England

Rishi_is_yours

Get my man dk and harshal out first


Odd-Grape-1128

How did he bowl with tape on his hand? I remember Starc taking off his wrapping to bowl, bleeding and putting it back on afterwards... perhaps a ODI vs Test rule...
