Former Australia batter Michael Slater reportedly collapsed in the court after his bail application was rejected by the magistrate on domestic violence charges, according to reports.
Slater sat in the dock wearing prison greens during his appearance and collapsed to the floor when Magistrate Raelene Ellis denied his bail application. He was helped to his feet by prison officers, the ABC report said.
Slater played 74 Tests and 42 ODIs for Australia between 1993 and 2001, scoring 5,312 runs over his cricketing career. He then transitioned to commentary with Channels 7 and 9 after retiring.
