Moving a bit towards the off, he again tried to hit the ball on the leg-side but missed it. The ball again struck his groin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Alex Hales copping back-to-back balls to the crown jewels sounds better with Titanic music <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TheHundred?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TheHundred<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PrayforAlex?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PrayforAlex<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlexHales1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AlexHales1<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vsPlrli4kh\">pic.twitter.com\/vsPlrli4kh<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; Spark Sport (@sparknzsport) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sparknzsport\/status\/1424546898480832514?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 9, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<p>England batter Sam Billings could see the funny side of it and tweeted,&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Haven&rsquo;t ever laughed like that on a cricket field! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EgTlhbaaNh\">https:\/\/t.co\/EgTlhbaaNh<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; Sam Billings (@sambillings) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sambillings\/status\/1424504515735261188?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 8, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<p>The Hundred&#39;s media wing wasn&#39;t also left behind.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Every... ball... counts?<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BYpUZ54hLo\">pic.twitter.com\/BYpUZ54hLo<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; The Hundred (@thehundred) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thehundred\/status\/1424476940761772037?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 8, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<p>England all-rounder Liam Livingstone, who himself was hit multiple times on the groin during a Big Bash game in Australia and is playing for Birmingham Phoenix, tweeted,<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I feel you Alex<\/p>\r\n&mdash; Liam Livingstone (@liaml4893) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/liaml4893\/status\/1424469489949855746?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 8, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<p>Hales&#39;s team-mate Samuel Cook said after the match, &quot;I think Alex Hales is still rolling around in the changing room.
