Which cricketer was struck by lightning during an ODI and was hospitalized?
 

GIMH

Norwood's on Fire
Correct, in a game at Pukekura Park a right armed Trent Billingeworth was about to bowl his 3rd over during a cloudy day. Before he made it back to his mark he was struck by lightning.

He was so profoundly impacted by this moment he changed his surname to Boult and has been bowling with his left hand ever since.
It's no laughing matter Athlai. Consider this a warning. Next one and you're gone. Or to put it another way - two strikes and you're out.

Do not go gentle into that goodnight...

Oh, you nailed it.
Yes, you are right. It was Fenix Thomas and Mervyn Dillon.
