AFP, Wellington :
New Zealand paceman Trent Boult on Tuesday described seeing team-mate Mitchell McClenaghan felled by a bouncer as “stomach churning” and “scary”, but insisted such deliveries are an intrinsic part of the game.
McClenaghan was poleaxed during the Black Caps’ win over Pakistan in Wellington on Monday when an Anwar Ali delivery smashed through his helmet grille, fracturing his left eye socket.
The injury revived painful memories of Australian batsman Phillip Hughes’ death after a ball struck his head in 2014, with Boult saying he did not want to dwell on McClenaghan’s injury.
