Cricketers suffer horror injuries after clashing in outfield during Big Bash match Two Australian cricketers suffered serious injuries after clashing in the outfield while attempting to take the same catch during a Big Bash fixture.
Perth batter Cooper Connolly chipped the ball into the air, with Bancroft and Sams both sprinting in an attempt to catch it.
With only eyes for the ball, they collided as the ball hit the deck and Connolly ran through for two runs.
Cameron Bancroft and Daniel Sams were in action for the Sydney Thunder against the Perth Scorchers during the first innings.
After a delay, Bancroft returned to his feet and walked off to the dressing room with blood pouring from his nose.
