Fulton joins NZ casualty list
BRIDGETOWN, March 10: Peter Fulton added his name to New Zealand's growing injury list after he broke a finger during a World Cup warm-up match against Sri Lanka on Friday.
Fulton was taken to hospital after he broke the little finger on his left hand taking a catch.
Although he held on to the ball to dismiss Kumar Sangakkara in New Zealand's 18-run victory at the 3Ws Oval, the effort could prove to be costly for the Black Caps' World Cup hopes.
All-rounder Jacob Oram has been nursing a broken finger on his left hand since last month and paceman Mark Gillespie has picked up a virus which has numbed his bowling right arm.
Captain Stephen Fleming admitted that Gillespie will “probably not” be able play in New Zealand's opening Group C World Cup fixture against England on Friday.—Reuters
