During the 22nd match of the league between Perth Scorchers and Sydney Thunder, Daniel Sams, and Cameron Bancroft were involved in a devastating collision that left the players in both camps extremely worried and scared.
The incident happened in the first innings of the match when Perth Scorchers were batting. On the second ball of the 16th over, Ferguson bowled a leg-lined delivery to Connolly, who heaved it over square leg.
It was an absolutely horrendous collision as Sams and Bancroft were unable to get up after the incident as they banged their face against each other.
However, things looked extremely serious with Sams as he couldn't get up and was stretchered off the field.
“There’s been a horrendous collision. There’s concern here. Both players fully committed to the ball, eyes on it. Didn’t see each other coming. This is what you don’t want to see.
Also, instantly after the incident it was confirmed that the duo wouldn't be able to take part in the match. All the players, fans, support staff, and broadcasters present at the ground were shaken by the incident, and the game resumed after a lengthy delay.

“It’s going to be so difficult to switch back on. These big stadiums, you can’t quite hear, yelling a player off the ball and something like this happens. Completely accidental, but it’s horrific to see. You can only hope they walk out of this with minor injuries. As a side, it really is hard now to regroup," he said as quoted by Fox Cricket.
