墨爾本青少年板球運動員被球擊中身亡
An Australian teenager has died after being hit by a cricket ball while training in Melbourne. The 17-year-old was training in the cricket nets in Ferntree Gully on Tuesday when he was hit in the head or neck by a ball from an automatic bowling alley. He is believed to have been wearing a helmet. Emergency services were called to the scene shortly before 17:00 local time (0600 GMT) and the boy was taken to Monash Children’s Hospital in a critical condition. He was placed on life support but died Wednesday. The boy’s local cricket club said it was “absolutely devastated” by the “tragic passing” of one of its players and the teenager’s death “will be felt by everyone in our cricket community”.據澳大利亞廣播公司（ABC）報導，當地板球協會主席阿尼·沃爾特斯（Arnie Walters）表示，這個男孩“在當地板球界既有天賦，也很受歡迎”。 “I know how hard this news will impact our community.” and we will provide any and all support we can to our clubs and cricket family,” he said. In a social media post, the boy’s cricket club expressed condolences to his family and friends and “everyone who knew (him) and the joy he brought.” “We ask that you respect the privacy of (the boy’s) family at this time,” the statement said. On behalf of the teenager’s family, the club also thanked Ambulance Victoria, police and the hospital. The BBC has contacted Cricket Australia and Cricket Victoria for comment. The incident comes just over a decade after Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes died after being hit in the neck by a ball during a Sheffield Shield game in 2014. His death, for which a coroner ultimately found no one was at fault, prompted improvements in protective equipment for those involved in the sport.
