Avoiding injuries on a wet surface ?

[Amobokoboko]

Hi guys,

It's not really a rugby related question altho it does has an impact on my rugby.
A fortnight ago I played cricket on a wet grass field wearing my Asics running shoes. While trying to stop the ball I strained my thigh muscle => 4 days not being able to run or swim. Yesterday the same scenario, the same muscle.

I decided to stop playing cricket for this season as it doesn't make sense to force myself in a situation where I injure myself every week.

I was thinking of buying a pair of rugby boots for soft grounds to play cricket on a wet soil as my rugby boots give me the support I need.

Any feedback is appreciated.

If it stops you getting injured, then go ahead

Make sure you speak to your groundskeeper first, i don't know how he'd feel about rugby boots churning up the pitch

We play on a artificial pitch that lays in between a rugby and soccer field.
