JASON said:Career saving knock from GibbsGibbs is unreliable and inconsistent. Keeping him in the side is a gamble. As this is the case for him for quite a while now, I think we should be looking to leave him out of the side permanently.
This statement is a mystery to me. If names were named it might make sense. The two that come to mind are Kallis and Smith. Both have had to have operations so I doubt the injuries were faked. Kallis' injury has been a long time one but it has only been taken care of now. Maybe because he was so necessary to the side. Now the op. has become urgent. Smith got injured during his holiday. Accidents happen.

Yes, and in my ankle too. Hurts when you actually tear the ligaments but a couple of days later it doesn't hurt, just swells up quite a bit. Admittedly I don't play international cricket so I'm not sure how much strain would actually be on it.jot1 said:Accidents are convenient? Especially excruciatingly painful ones? Have you ever torn ligaments?
(I do know some people who aren't, though.
)If indeed its his ankle he must have damaged Talo-fibular part of lateral ligament (on lateral side of ankle) . The medial side of ankle has a ligament called Deltoid ligament , which could also be damaged , but is a less commoner injury.Usually the injuries are sprains, and management is essentially conservative , ie rest / support bandage / ice etc. Recovery can be 2 weeks to 4 weeks.
If he needed surgery , then he must have torn the ligament out right . *That's from my medical knowledge of ankles*

SA lead 192 . Already an unassaible position 350+ lead and SL will pay for their poor Team selection very dearly !
SA have really been the better Team in this Test apart from the first session loss of wickets on Day 1. And that too despite missing Kallis. (Smith's absence IMHO strengthens SA rather than depletes it, but thats my personal view and I am glad I am not in the vicinity of JOT 1 when I say this !
Even if she were a non violent person ! )

Not when Hall replaces him, it doesn't. Hall may be an OK allrounder in Saffie conditions, but a Test-class opening bat he is not.JASON said:(Smith's absence IMHO strengthens SA rather than depletes it, but thats my personal view and I am glad I am not in the vicinity of JOT 1 when I say this !
