Australia have kept their domination over South Africa on Day 2 of the ongoing Boxing-Day Test<\/a> at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground. In reply to South Africa\u2019s 189, the hosts have scored 386\/3, courtesy of David Warner\u2019s incredible double-century<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

During the second day\u2019s proceedings, an unusual incident took place when Proteas pacer Anrich Nortje<\/strong> was knocked over by a fast-moving spider camera. Nortje was positioned at backwards-square during Australia\u2019s first innings when Fox Sports\u2019 \u2018Flying Fox\u2019 camera hit the bowler at speed, and the speedster was knocked to the ground.<\/p>\n

Nortje was lucky not to suffer serious injury when the wire-guided camera, which hovers above the players, went too low and hit him from behind. The side-on footage showed the camera hitting Nortje to his upper body, while the Spidercam view itself revealed a jolt with the impact. Fortunately for the tourists, the Port Elizabeth cricketer escaped a possible injury and was on his feet immediately and did not leave the ground.<\/p>\n
