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. <br /><br />The unfortunate moment occurred during the second One Day International (ODI) at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />The man is seen clutching his face in disbelief afterward as dozens of concerned bystanders jump to their feet to help him.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />The blow appeared to have caused a nasty cut which drew blood. <br /><br />'That's big, that's very big, it's into the Members,' O'Keeffe said during commentary.
