- description: Peter Nevill smashed in face as Brad Hodge loses cricket bat. Taking big bash too literally! Wicket keeper Peter Nevill is hit in the face with a flying bat - just a week after being smashed on the head by a ball Peter Nevill was keeping wicket for the Melbourne Renegades on Monday night Brad Hodge let go of the bat as he swung for a ball, sending it toward Nevill As Nevill was looking out into the field, the bat hit him handle-first in the jaw He was taken off for a concussion check for the second time in two weeks Peter Nevill was hit in the jaw with a flying bat on Monday night before being taken off for his second concussion check in just two weeks. The Melbourne Renegades 'keeper was playing away to the Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League when the painful incident took place. Brad Hodge smacked a ball away to leg side as the Strikers chased a target of 171 when he suddenly let go of the bat, sending it flying toward Nevill. Peter Nevill was keeping wicket for Melbourne Renegades on Monday night when a flying bat hit him in the jaw - leaving him with a nasty lump (pictured) As the 30-year-old former Australia 'keeper was watching the ball head toward the boundary, the handle caught him unawares on the jaw. Nevill immediately collapsed to the floor with Hodge running over to check on him, and was later helped from the field with a large swelling on his right cheek. Aaron Finch took over Nevill's duties for the second time in two weeks, after Nevill was also helped from the field last Monday when he was hit in the head by the ball. The Renegades were taking on the Sydney Sixers at the SCG when a ball from fielder Chris Tremain caught him on the head. Brad Hodge smacked the ball away to leg side when he suddenly let go of the bat, sending it flying towards Nevill's face Tremain was throwing from the in-field when the ball bounced off the wicket, which was slick with rain from showers earlier in the day. The quick bounce seemed to catch Nevill off-guard, who couldn't quite get his hands up in time to catch it, instead taking a blow to the head while wearing nothing more than a baseball cap. He was initially allowed to continue by team doctors, but was then taken off for a precautionary check. There has been no update from Nevill or the team on his condition since he was taken from the field in the latest incident. Melbourne went on to win the game by just six runs, keeping their hopes of tournament glory alive for the time being.
