<strong>4 Deadliest on-field collisions:</strong> Cricket field has seen some of the most fear stirring incidents that left the players shaken and the spectators in shock. Accidents have been a part of the game since the very beginning some not so much effective while others lethal. Like a coin with two sides cricket provides us with entertainment and joy but on the other side it has some threats.

Some of these on-field collisions led to long term after effects. The situations that led to the collisions can be stated as the desperation and passion to win or the carelessness of the fielders.

<strong>Here are 4 Deadliest on-field collisions:</strong>

<strong>1. Brendon McCullum and Kyle Mills – The blow:</strong>

On his comeback game after his battle with cancer, Yuvraj Singh was smashing the ball all around the cricket ground against New Zealand. Yuvraj top-edged a short delivery and it lingered in air, Brendon McCullum the New Zealand wicket keeper ran back towards with his gloves stretched, unaware of his team-mate Kyle Mills advancing towards him, both had their eyes on the ball.

McCullum ran down smashing Mills face. Mills was a bigger concern than the dropped catch as the collision gave him swollen eye. McCullum rolled over Mills and fell at quite some distance. Mills was lying on the ground after he took a blow from the elbow on his head. After the on-field treatment he walked off the field as the camera focused on his bruised eye that had turned black from internal hemorrhage.

<strong>2. Jeff Thompson and Alan Turner – A lethal after effect:</strong>

This collision was rather a deadly one, on the first day of the first Test between Pakistan and Australia in 1976 the day opened rather badly for the Pakistani side as they were 3 down before reaching the 100 mark. Amidst all the excitement the clash left people with widened eyes. The duo of Javed Maindad and Zaheer Abbas came with a hope of rescuing Pakistan when Thompson, who already had scalped 2 wickets, charged in with full pace the delivery Abbas top edged the ball. Alan Turner at mid-wicket started his race to catch the white while Thompson too began the chase with his eyes on the sky.

And there it was ‘boom’ Thompson, the pacer swearing with his slackly hanging arm and Turner lying on the ground as dead as a doornail. The incident had its after effect, Turner came on to bat later that day but for Thompson it was curtains down for the entire series. He came back in 1977 Ashes to bowl though he grabbed 23 wickets leading the attack, the incident had taken away his consistent speed.

<strong>3. Steve Waugh and Jason Gillespie – The Bloody clash:</strong>

The bloody crash pinned down Australia finally. Sri Lanka was cursing on the second day of the Test match at Galle following the lead of 188 runs that Aussies managed to put up on the score board. Mahela Jayawardene and Arvinda de Silva were the on-crease accelerators for Sri Lanka. A Colin Miller delivery was pulled by Jayawardene towards leg, Gillespie was sprinting towards the ball desperate to get the breakthrough. But, he was not the only one Steve Waugh was racing towards the ball all the way from square leg with the same intentions, only that fate had other plans.

Both failed to reach the ball and collided, Gillespie tumbled over his captain and hit the ground sideways, he got up checking his right leg. Waugh on the other hand stayed on the ground with blood running out of his nose and groaning pain while the physio ran to his rescue. The former captain was taken straight to the hospital and was diagnosed with a severely slashed and disfigured nose and Gillespie was carried off from the ground, the clash resulted in a tibial fracture for Waugh.

<strong>4. Moises Henriques and Rory Burns – Stirring Fears:</strong>

The death of Phil Hughes was fresh in the minds of people when another on field accident stirred the worst fears of everyone. In a T20 match between Sussex and Surrey everything seemed quite normal until Tom Curran’s delivery was hit as a skier by Surrey’s Steffan Piolet. Burns rushing in from deep cover while Henriques was running backwards from point, failing to notice each collided and fell on the ground unconscious.

Immediate treatment was provided to both, that included oxygen and painkillers. Henriques regained consciousness and waved to the concerned crowd while Burns took time to get conscious. It did not end there, Henriques got his jaw broken and was to undergo a surgery and Burns got stitches on his head and facial injuries. The match was abandoned in its 19<sup>th</sup> over.
