Cricket is a funny game and the saying has been testified once again during the ongoing match between Big Bash League match between Melbourne Renegades and Melbourne Stars at Docklands Stadium in Melbourne.

Melbourne Stars were batting first and on strike was hard hitter Dwayne Bravo. Peter Nevill was at the non strikers end when bowler Adam Zampa was putting the hard yards. Bravo struck one firmly straight towards his partner Nevill which struck his bat and got deflected as a result of which it hit the bowler’s nose. Nevill was trying to get out of the trajectory of the ball but as the time was in split seconds he failed to do so as the ball hit his willow. As the ball had enough power and the trajectory was totally changed, the ball continued to move and disturbed the stumps with Nevill still being out of the crease. Everything happened in quick succession and there was hardly any time to react.

A small video of the entire incident was posted on Twitter by Big Bash League’s official account ad write, “Extraordinary… #BBL05 ”


Zampa was immediately given some medical treatment and he was quick to recover as he bowled out his entire quote of four overs. Renegades have managed a modest score of 155 in their 20 overs with Dwayne Bravo playing a tenacious knock of 59 from just 37 deliveries. They need to put up a solid bowling display as Stars have a star studded batting line up to chase the target.
