Livingstone cricketer: Perth Scorchers' Liam Livingstone yells after getting hit in the abdomen in BBL 10

Liam Livingstone yells: In a similar but still surprising sight, the English batsman was yet again hit in the abdomen in the Big Bash League.

During the 50th match of the ongoing 10th season of the Big Bash League between Melbourne Stars and Perth Scorchers in Melbourne, Perth Scorchers opening batsman Liam Livingstone was once again hit in the abdomen which saw him yelling loudly.

It all happened on the third delivery of the seventh over when Livingstone got deceived by a slower delivery from Melbourne Stars fast bowler Nathan Coulter-Nile.

With the ball coming back into the right-hand batsman, it ended up hitting him where it hurts the most. “Ohhhh noooo,” Livingstone was heard screaming after receiving the blow.

It is worth mentioning that the 27-year old player was hit twice in the same region against Melbourne Renegades in the last season of the BBL. After Sydney Thunder opening batsman Alex Hales, Livingstone has become the second English player to receive a similar blow this season.

After Stars captain Glenn Maxwell won the toss and invited the visitors in to bat, Jason Roy and Livingstone put together an 83-run opening partnership.

While Roy scoring 54 (32) with the help of seven fours and a six had become a cause of concern for Maxwell, Livingstone failed to get going with his 24 (29). However, both of them getting out in quick succession has witnessed the onus of scoring quickly falling on the likes of Colin Munro and Josh Inglis.
