Matthew Hayden

I'm not sure what effect playing with a broken finger would do to a player, but I imagine it would result in a much longer injury layoff than the current one.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Sharjah v Cats:

1. HH Gibbs
2. Saeed Anwar
3. DS Lehmann
4. MG Bevan
5. M Azharuddin
6. NS Sidhu
+7. A Flower
8. MS Kasprowicz
9. AH Gray
10.SP Davis
11.Sarfraz Nawaz

Praying for another Lehmann miracle...

 

[Neil Pickup]

I'm not sure what effect playing with a broken finger would do to a player, but I imagine it would result in a much longer injury layoff than the current one.

In which case he will be replaced by Carl Rackemann, who will bat at 11 on the grounds that he's incompetent, and Majid Khan will open the batting alongside Smith, with all the batsmen below Majid moving up a slot.

Takes after his manager in many respects there then!
