Anything can happen in a cricket match. In a County Championship match, the Yorkshire fielder, who was standing at first slip in the second innings of the match, learnt a basic lesson in a practical way when a loose ball hit his groin area and left him in pain. In the middle of the intense match, the experienced keeper, Jonny Bairstow, could not hold his laughter, as the ball was released from his gloves.
A video went viral on September 4 across social media platforms. The video is proof of why the fielders on the ground, especially at the slip cordon, always need to keep their eyes on the ball throughout the match. Now, after the blow, it will be interesting to see if the idiom, no pain, no gain, proves true or not, at least for this match.
The viral video only captures the moment of action, so it is now difficult to say the exact over of the innings of the County Championship match in which the incident took place. On the green top wicket, from the beginning of the Yorkshire vs Surrey match, the fast bowlers have been enjoying their time at The Oval. In the second innings of the match too, the ball is moving.
The video shows a Yorkshire fast bowler hitting a good length of the pitch, and the ball moved away from the left-handed batter. The batter went to push the ball with his bat, but the ball whizzed past the batter, missing an edge. The ball travelled straight into Jonny Bairstow's gloves. The Surrey batter somehow remained alive on the track.
The fielder at first slip did not notice the incoming ball
While the Surrey batters went in the middle of the pitch for a conversation, and the bowler started to walk back for the next delivery, Jonny Bairstow threw the ball behind his back towards the first slip fielder. Like the keeper, the fielder was also off his position, taking his eyes off the ball.
The fielder at slip did not notice the keeper released the ball to him. The fielder got to realise only when the ball hit his groin. In pain, the fielder was immediately on the ground, and Jonny Bairstow, the keeper and his teammate, who threw the ball, left laughing with one hand close to his mouth.

Apart from the moment, the Yorkshire vs Surrey County Championship match caught the cricket fans' attention because of one Indian fast bowler, Auqib Nabi. With the help of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the Jammu and Kashmir pacer secured a Surrey contract for a brief stint.
Through the County Championship matches, Auqib Nabi will get the opportunity to gain experience under English conditions, which can benefit his skill in swinging the ball in ways. In the first innings of the match, the highest wicket-taker of the previous Ranji Trophy season claimed one wicket and got another one in the second innings as well.
