They are all ‘looked after’ now far more than they use to be. If Healy is to be believed, he probably waved the physio away or pretended on the pitch that it was ok. The modern chaps don’t seem to do that.

Anyway, I’m miffed that the Aus team can’t bat anymore. Seriously miffed. Hussey and Punter seem to be lone voices in the wilderness and why is Cam White playing for a place in the test team? He won’t get one no matter how much he tries to copy Michael Clarke and just play defensive in one day matches. Stupid tw*t is there to slug.

BRING BACK KATICH.

perhaps the answer is to look at who’s bowling to them – siddle could do with less balls and more brain. A bit of technique might help ,too, instead of trying to knock everyone’s head off.

KERRY O’BRIEN: Can I ask you to hold up your hands?

IAN HEALY: I haven’t got too many bad fingers.

This one’s the bad one and the index fingers have copped it a little bit.

KERRY O’BRIEN: How many fractures have you suffered in those hands in your Test career?

IAN HEALY: Oh, I suppose I can tell people now, can’t I?

I never used to tell people, never have them X-rayed.

I’ve never really had many of them X-rayed.

The treatment for a broken finger is the same as it is for a bruised finger.

It’s rest and ice, etcetera.

Once I make the decision that I’m going to play with this injured finger, it becomes a bruised finger.

That’s all I can do — ice it and keep it as still as I possibly can when I’m not using it.

For my book, which I did a couple of seasons ago, we had them X-rayed and there were 11 old fracture sites that a radiologist or some specialist picked up in X-rays.

But who knows?

There was four in that index finger.

I had a problem with a finger costing me a Test match.

I have a big problem that a small thing like a finger can actually stop you playing a Test match for Australia.

Unless the function, which happened when I broke my thumb — it was high up in my hand, my broken thumb.

I couldn’t actually function in my glove, so my function had decreased.

Unless that happens, I don’t think a finger should really cost me.

From someone gloating in the enemy camp – I thought Paine’s last over was very impressive – the one hand catch and the run-out.

Have you really included Dan Smith as one of your ’7 top line’ keepers in Australia?

Brad Haddin’s got some serious issues – he’s been playing with broken fingers since his debut. It’s hard to see how he can keep going on.

The guy who must be on suicide watch is Luke Ronchi. Less than 12 months ago he was Australia’s no.2 keeper. At the moment he’s probably behind some kid in under-14′s in the queue for next Aussie keeper.
Deservedly so too.

apparently fielders are trying to take wickets that bowlers are not able to… by throwing at stumps full throttle… hence the reason of broken fingers…

I’m just happy we don’t have to watch Paine play.
