Adelaide: An Adelaide club cricketer was examined by Cricket Australia medical staff and officials after he was struck on the back of the head while bowling to the Australian team in their training session under floodlights on Wednesday.

The spinner, who plays in the city's top-level club competition, was bowling to Mitch Marsh with a pink ball late in the session at Adelaide Oval when he was struck on the back of the head, after being unable to stop a powerful drive.

The impact was clearly audible even outside the nets.
