Graeme Swann fit after practice blow
Graeme Swann’s bowling hand is one of the most prized assets in the England team as they prepare to defend their hold on the Ashes in Australia.
That’s why the fact that the off-spinner was hit on the thumb of said hand while batting in the nets in Australia was the kind of news that might cause England fans to break into a cold sweat.
Luckily for the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nottinghamshire-c826 bowler, the damage inflicted on him by teammate Tim Bresnan appears to be none too serious, with some ice and some strapping all the treatment that was required to tend to his complaint.
So crisis averted then, and there was more good news for England as they build towards the first of the five Tests against Australia in Brisbane, which begins on November 25th, with James Anderson and Chris Tremlett themselves getting in some bowling practice in Perth after suffering rib injuries at England’s pre-Ashes training camp in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Germany-c2904.
An England XI play their first Ashes warm-up match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Western-Australia-c865 in Perth between November 5th and 7th.
