Also have to feel for the bowler in this case. Bouncers are a part of a pace bowler's arsenal, and completely routine as you say, but I can't imagine what Sean Abbott is going through right now.
RIP Phil.

I can't say I understand the game but what's the definition of a bouncer and how would a bouncer get a batsman out? If the ball hits his body and goes up in the air can he be caught out?
Just trying to understand their purpose. Is it to unsettle them?
Agreed. Horrible accident all round for him and the bowler. Not much you can do for a split artery in that sort of time frame.
