The camera operator who accidentally floored South African fast bowler Anrich Nortje with 'Spidercam' has now been stood down for the remainder of the Boxing Day Test at the MCG.
Nortje was fortunate to escape serious injury in a terrifying moment on day two against Australia as he was taken out by Fox Sport's camera equipment in the field. The 29-year-old was struck completely blindsided by the wire-guided 'Spidercam' as he returned to his mark at square leg and instantly hit the deck.
There was huge concern for Nortje as the camera, that usually hovers over players to showcase a different TV perspective, was piloted into the bowler in an ugly collision.
