Cameron Bancroft's BBL season is over after a collision with teammate Daniel Sams during a match against the Perth Scorchers.
Cameron Bancroft's BBL season is over after the Sydney Thunder opener suffered a broken shoulder in his horror collision with teammate Daniel Sams. Bancroft and Sams were both still in a Perth hospital on Saturday morning following their sickening clash in the field during the Thunder’s last-ball win over the Scorchers. The pair are awaiting the rest of CT scans, but Sams will also be sidelined for at least 12 days after he and Bancroft were diagnosed with concussions.
Both players will also spend at least another night in Western Australia, unable to fly to Brisbane with the rest of their teammates. Cameron Bancroft and Daniel Sams of the Thunder collide while attempting to catch the ball during the BBL match between Perth Scorchers and Sydney Thunder. Bancroft has also been left to nurse a broken nose out of the incident, with a shadow now hanging over the rest of his domestic summer. The horrors of the clash came as another remarkable story emerged, with Oliver Davies rushing from the hotel to act as a concussion sub. Still feeling unwell, Davies scored three off eight balls, but the Thunder went on to chase down Perth’s 4-177 from the final ball of the match. The win lifted the Thunder to second on the BBL ladder with a game in hand, after winning only one game all of last season. But the club are likely to count the costs of Friday night for some time. Bancroft’s injury caps a horror summer for the West Australian, who began it in contention for a Test spot before his form dropped at the worst possible moment.The Thunder will briefly get Sam Konstas back after the Sydney Test, but will likely enter the finals without he or Bancroft if Konstas is picked for the Sri Lanka tour. Sams is also one of the Thunder’s most important players given his strike with the ball and ability to hit hard late. The allrounder will miss at least the next four games for the Thunder, with any return date to depend on how he recovers from his concussio
