Earlier this week, a 17 - year old named Ben Austin from Melbourne, was tragically killed after being struck in the neck by a cricket ball during team practice. 

The accident happened in front of his team mates, and he was rushed to Monash hospital in a critical condition before being placed on life support. 

The Ferntree Gully Cricket Club later confirmed his death on socials. 

We spoke to David, his uncle who explained his grief. We gave him a donation to help the family out during this tough time.
