An afternoon at the cricket has ended in agony for one fan who copped a nasty ball to the face as Australia took on the West Indies in Sydney.
The unfortunate moment occurred during the second One Day International (ODI) at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday.
Television cameras captured the moment the ball smashed into a young man's face after he tried to catch but dropped a six from Aussie batsman Sean Abbott from his seat in the member's pavilion.
The man is seen clutching his face in disbelief afterward as dozens of concerned bystanders jump to their feet to help him.
Fox Sports commentators Kerry O'Keefe and Adam Gilchrist were left reeling after they watched a replay of the incident, which showed the ball striking the man on the cheek.
The blow appeared to have caused a nasty cut which drew blood.
'That's big, that's very big, it's into the Members,' O'Keeffe said during commentary.
