WELLINGTON, Feb 16: New Zealand's record 10-wicket win over Australia on Friday was soured by an injury to all-rounder Jacob Oram.
Oram broke the third finger on his left hand while taking a routine catch to dismiss Mitchell Johnson, the New Zealand Press Associated reported.
He immediately left the field and was taken to a nearby hospital where X-rays confirmed the fracture.
New Zealand officials said it was too early to assess whether Oram was in danger of missing the World Cup, starting in the West Indies next month, but he was likely to skip the remaining two matches against Australia.—Reuters
