Shamar played with a bloody toe

Shamar played with a bloody toe

Wed, Aug 5, '26 at 2:52 PM

A bruised, sore, bloody, painful, medicated toe.

the priority here today and yesterday wasn’t to win a series.

the supporters were happy escaping with ‘a winning record’.

PAK never win an away Test in ages, but want a win? Call WI!

jokers and selfish daisies

Ravi Rampaul also misread a bowling pitch.

but Shamar played when he could hardly walk!!!!

Not a good move - health first

Haven't we heard that somewhere before so no surprise there 🤔....the boy has tremendous heart ...unlike many of the modern day that even the most miniscule of ailments or injuries requires a drink, banana an a belly rub!!😀

@Chrissy

The physios today are knowledgeable enough to help players through injuries during a game. Sometimes you have to retire because yo just can’t go on, and yes, long term career considerations. 3 in one match? Something’s not right. I figure series unassailable position had something to do with it.

feelings only and based on observations; I have no facts about their injuries

....But this time, without the help of the pitch. Also the target was in excess of 200, not a paltry 75 runs

Rampaul selects the starting XI??

For clarification, the bloody toe reference is the Oz match.

If Ravi has no say he should give up the wuk
