Voges struck by bouncer, suffers concussion

AUSTRALIA test batsman Adam Voges has suffered a concussion after being struck on the head by a bouncer during a Sheffield Shield first-class match between Western Australia and Tasmania yesterday.

Voges was helped from the field by medical staff after being hit on the back of the head by a delivery from Tasmania fast bowler Cam Stevenson. The 37-year-old fell to his knees as players rushed to his assistance. It is the second concussion Voges has suffered this year. He was struck on the head by a fielder’s throw while playing for the English county Middlesex in May. Voges will take no further part in the current four-day match. The incident raised grim memories of former test batsman Phillip Hughes, who was killed by a short ball during a Shield match in Sydney two years ago.
