Play of the day: Three players injured in one ball

Getting injured playing cricket can be a serious business. But when three players pick up minor injuries from one delivery it's hard not to see the funny side.

In a recent Victorian Premier League match between Fitzroy Doncaster Cricket Club and Footscray-Edgewater Cricket Club in Australia, three players were hurt after a hilarious sequence of events.

The batsman takes a huge swing at a delivery and only manages to hit it straight at his batting partner. The non-striker is hurt but shrugs the pain off quickly.

But in the process, the batsman seems to have also injured his right shoulder. While walking back to his mark, the bowler is hit on the head by a teammate from close range and is down for a couple of seconds before getting back on his feet.
