Seagull comes back to life after direct HIT during Aussie cricket game

CRICKET fans were left stunned after a seagull miraculously recovered from a direct-hit with a cricket ball during an Australian game.

Perth Scorchers batsman Adam Voges rocketed the ball into the white gull during the Big Bash cricket match.

Cricket fans in Melbourne, Australia gasped as the seagull which had been sitting comfortably in the grounds crumpled into a ball of feathers.

"Let's hope he gets up and flies away," the Aussie commentators told viewers on Wednesday.

Melbourne Stars fielder Rob Quiney was first on the scene and picked up the bird.

The 32-year-old cricketer was far from optimistic – signalling to officials on the sidelines to put the gull out of its misery. 

"Give him a cuddle Bobby," joked the Sky commentators, which can be heard in the viral video.

"Pick him up and give him a cuddle."
