Horrific Collision in The BBL: Australia’s Daniel Sams and Bancroft Taken to Hospital

 

In a horrific collision between Sydney Thunders’ Daniel Sams and Cameron Bancroft, in which both players got injured seriously. Blood was coming out of Bancroft's nose, and Sams was unconscious on the field. The scene was horrific for the fans watching. The incident happened during the Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Thunder match at Optus Stadium in Perth. 

“Cameron Bancroft and Daniel Sams are both conscious and talking," Sydney Thunder said in a statement.

The Incident

Cooper Connolly was on the crease in the 16th over of the first innings when Perth Scorchers was batting. He hit the Lockie Ferguson ball in the air, and it went to the outfield. Both players tried to catch the ball without looking at one another. Sam was coming from the infield, while Bancroft was coming from the outfield. Both crashed into each other with their heads.

 

 

All the players ran towards the fainted players, both lying on the ground. Quickly, the medical staff arrived. Sam was injured so heavily that a mini ambulance was needed to take him off the ground. Bancroft managed to walk off the field with the coach’s support, but blood was dripping from his nose.

 

 Both players were later confirmed to have suffered concussions, and it was suspected that they had also had fractures. Ollie Davies and Hugh Weibgen replaced Daniel Sams and Cameron Bancroft for the remainder of the match. 

 

The incident had such an enormous impact that the game was halted for almost 20 minutes. After that, Thunder’s coaches and captain David Warner discussed procedures with Match officials.


"They both are in the hospital, so I'm praying that they can come out soon and be back in the park,” Sherfane Rutherford said after the match. Team Sydney Thunders finally won the game with Rutherford's boundary.


IPl And International Experience

Australian All-rounder Daniel Sams, who had played with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) in the previous IPL seasons, was more hurt than Cameron Bancroft and needed to be taken off the stadium on a stretcher. Both the players were immediately taken to the hospital for further medical attention.

 

 Cameron Bancroft is the same player who was involved in the ball-tampering case during the test match between Australia and South Africa and was suspended for nine months by Cricket Australia along with David Warner and Steve Smith. He used the sandpaper on the ball and became the main culprit of the incident.
