In a moment that scared the world of cricket and reminded the world of the horro that resulted in former Australia opener Phil Hughes' death, Victoria and Australia batsman Cameron White was struck on the throat during a limited overs game after a beamer was bowled at him.

The bowler, Queensland's Billy Stanlake, delivered a ball that reportedly clocked over 140 km/hr during the opening game of the JLT Cup, Channel Nine reported on Monday.\

White was just four deliveries into his innings when Stanlake, who can ramp up his speeds to the high 140km/h mark, unleashed a delivery that reared into the throat area of White.

The former Australian batsman was floored by the delivery but incredibly recovered to continue batting. However, the incident probably rattled White, who ended up scoring only 10 runs of 35 balls.

The Victorians recovered from 4-66 to post 240, before bowling out Queensland for 227 to secure a 13-run win.

Victoria's bowling effort was led by its pair of opening bowlers Chris Tremain and Will Sutherland who picked up eight of the 10 Queensland wickets to fall.
