Play in the Men’s Big Bash League match between the Perth Scorchers and Sydney Thunder in Perth on Friday was halted for 20 minutes after two fielders were involved in a serious collision as they both attempted an outfield catch on the run. The Thunders' Cameron Bancroft and Daniel Sams were later confirmed to have suffered concussion and were sent to hospital for further assessment with possible fractures involved.
The incident occurred the 16th over of the Scorchers innings when Perth batter Cooper Connolly hit a ball high on the leg side. Sams sprinted from the infield with eyes on the ball while Bancroft ran in at full speed from the outfield, the pair knocking heads as they crashed into each other, knocking their heads. Thunder players quickly ran to the pair, who lay motionless on the ground, and frantically gestured for medical support, which came immediately.
Sams appeared to be knocked out and was stretchered off in a mini-ambulance, while Bancroft managed to walk off the ground with a physio's support with blood gushing from his nose. Thunder captain David Warner and the team's coaches were involved in discussions with match referee Steve Davis and umpires Mike Graham-Smith and David Taylor, after which Ollie Davies and Hugh Weibgen came into the Thunder side as playing substitutes.
I'm also informed that Auckland Aces had a fielder collision today, this one involved Ben Lister the former Outlaw.

Why not, let's start the new year off with a note of positivity. Peter Moores recorded a win for one of his T20 sides today - Melbourne Stars winning at their sixth attempt this season.

HAPPY HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO ALL!
ReplyDeleteWhat a year 2024 has been in all sorts of ways , not just of the sporting variety .
Got a feeling that 2025 will be even more dramatic world wise .
Plus of course big changes in prospect around the world of cricket- some changes of which true cricket fans will not be cheering on .
Reckon Notts ccc will have a mediocre year without actually winning anything or even getting close to it . Moores and Newall are looking very much like yesterday’s men and seem to have run out of new ideas . It’s almost pipe , slippers and garden time for them . They have earned a decent retirement overall despite being lucky with never ending lucrative contracts?!
🎉🍷🎊🍾🏏🏆?
Not sure I agree with the mediocre year, at least in the Championship, if we line up
ReplyDeleteHameed, Slater, Duckett, McCann, Clarke, Verranye
James, Harrison, Stone, Pennington, Tongue
with Haynes, Hutton, Ahmed and Lord as backups for internationals
That is pretty strong for the Championship. Conversely it is pretty poor for the one day game
81 NOT OUT
ReplyDeleteYES - on paper - Notts sometimes look virtually unbeatable .
But the results tell a different story .
We often don’t get our best players performing together at the same time .
As we know from watching it’s often a case of virtually everyone being out of form - at the same time . R
On paper, it may look a good team, unfortunately, the game is played on grass, as Cloughy used to say
ReplyDelete81 NOT OUT
ReplyDeleteWise words from our old mate Brian !
The likes of which we will never see again ! The Clubs no longer allow the Manager the type of control that Cloughie had.
Pundits can make a good living just by stating the bleeding obvious these days.
