Ball hits umpire’s face: One incident happens with the players on the cricket field. While sometimes even a player's life is lost, sometimes a cricketer's career also ends due to injury. Similarly, there is no safety left for the umpires and many times they have had to suffer serious injuries. A similar case has happened in Australia, where a tragic incident happened with an umpire and his life was saved.
On one hand, there is a wait for the first test match between India and Australia in Perth, while in the meantime, during a third grade match in South Perth, a batsman played a tremendous straight drive but the ball hit the face of umpire Tony DeNobrega and caused a terrible injury. The incident happened. After this the umpire has been admitted to the hospital.
The match was being played in a third grade tournament at the Charles Verdiard Reserve in South Perth. During this time Tony DeNobrega was umpiring. At the same time, a batsman of one team played a dangerous shot. The shot was so fast and straight that umpire Tony did not get time to move and the ball hit him straight in the face. After this, Tony was immediately taken to the hospital, where he is under the observation of doctors.
There is severe swelling on Tony's face, eyes and lips, but none of the bones in his face are fractured. The West Australia Umpire Association informed in a post on Facebook regarding the umpire that Denobrega had to be hospitalized due to facial injuries and the possibility of surgery cannot be ruled out. After this, he further said in his statement that the straight drive of the batsman hit the side of Tony's face. Tony, who spent the night in hospital, was lucky he did not suffer any broken bones, although doctors are keeping him under observation as the possibility of surgery cannot be ruled out.
