Pakistan batsman suffers skull fracture in test against New Zealand

SportsJOE is wincing at the thought of being struck by a very heavy fast moving piece of cork wrapped in leather. That's why we really feel for Ahmed Shehzad who suffered an horrendous looking injury in a test cricket match between Pakistan and New Zealand. He was hit on the helmet by a bouncer from Corey Anderson on day two of the test series in Abu Dhabi and was later diagnosed with a minor skull fracture To add insult in injury he was on a career best run of 176 but was dismissed hit wicket after he dropped his bat  following the impact. Ouch ouch ouch
