Child hit on head

-

A child was taken to hospital after getting hit in the head by six during the Big Bash clash between the Hobart Hurricanes and Sydney Thunder at Manuka Oval on Saturday night. The George Bailey-struck six appeared to catch the youngster flush on the head, before bouncing a further 10 metres back into the stands. Bailey stopped the game to make sure the child was OK, and medics rushed to the boundary, but the boy looked only slightly distressed as he hugged his father. At the change of innings, Bailey gave the young fan his gloves while Thunder bowler Daniel Sams delivered a signed shirt before the boy was taken to hospital as a precaution­ary measure.
