The Proteas fast bowler was hit by Fox Sports’ spidercam at the MCG on Tuesday.

The incident took place just after Nortje’s excellent post-lunch four-over spell in which he conceded 11 runs and was unlucky not to pick up one or two wickets.

Nortje was knocked to the ground by the flying camera but escaped serious injury.

Ever since spidercam hit Nortje it appears to be benched (or rather the operator has been), high away from doing anyone damage, that is except for the birds #AUSvsSA pic.twitter.com/i3hvSf3f4U
