Cricket: Warne confident of recovery
Despite burning his bowling hand while cooking.
MELBOURNE:
Shane Warne is confident he will be fit to play in the revamped Big Bash T20 competition despite burning his bowling hand while cooking. The Australian bowling great has announced that he had a ‘95 per cent chance’ of playing his first cricket in Australia since retiring from Test cricket in 2007. “The doctors drained all the blisters and then cut them open so they wouldn’t fill up again,” he said. “There are just a couple of awkward ones on the spinning fingers. But it should be fine by Saturday.”
