Oram willing to amputate finger!
WELLINGTON, Feb 28: Jacob Oram is willing to cut off his injured ring finger if it is going to prevent him from playing in the World Cup.
Oram will try specially designed splints and pain-killers to ease the pain, but if the problem won't go away he will consider an amputation.
“If it means cutting the finger off, if that's the worse-case scenario, if that's the last resort, I'll do that, there's no way I'm missing this,” he told NZPA.
Oram suffered the break during the first Chappell-Hadlee Trophy match and he will not test it until the New Zealand squad's first practice session in Barbados on Saturday.
However, Oram is unsure how his finger is healing under the protective strapping.
“The plan is get to the West Indies, whip it off and assess the inflammation,” he said.—Agencies
