http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ST-Finn-c2566 out of tour match owing to injury – Cricket News Update
Young http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 after suffering an injury to his thigh.
The match commenced on October 30 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, with India A winning the toss and electing to bat first. Finn was handed the new ball, and bowled three overs during his first spell. However, he was only able to bowl one over during
his second spell, after which he walked off the field after experiencing discomfort in his right thigh.
He remained on field for only an hour of play on day one, and did not return to the field later, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/IJL-Trott-c1576 initially being relied upon to fill in with his medium pace. Finn underwent scans later in the evening, and the thigh injury was confirmed
today.
“Steven Finn has been ruled out of the remainder of the three-day game with a right thigh strain,” confirmed Rhian Evans, the team spokeswoman. “He will be assessed over the next couple of days to determine a rehabilitation programme.”
Finn was subsequently replaced by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Bresnan-c2711, who eventually went on to claim 3 for 59 during India A’s first innings. Following the incident, the 27-year-old right-armer revealed that Finn’s exact condition remained as yet uncertain, but the players were
willing to step in and shoulder responsibility.
“Obviously we're disappointed one of our fast bowlers had to go off,” Bresnan had said initially after Finn had been forced to walk off. “But it's one of those things where you just have to step up a bit, and each of you has to take on his responsibility.
“We're not sure what's happening. The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Christopher-Dougherty-c50774 will check him out back at the hotel. All we know is it's hurting, and scans will reveal more.”
Alongside Bresnan, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Samit-Patel-c2426 picked up 1. India A were eventually all out at 369 on day 2.
England then followed up with a powerful batting display spearheaded by newly-appointed skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AN-Cook-c1026, who smashed an as-yet unbeaten 112. Trott (56) and Samit Patel (82*) also chipped in with useful performances, and England finished day 2 at 286,
with only 4 wickets down.
