How do you solve a problem like a broken finger?
The Student has learnt that The New Zealand all-rounder Mr Oram is considerring amputating his finger to allow him to participate in the World Cup. Surely this is too drastic a measure, even for a dedicated professional at the top of his trade? You never know when the pinky will come in handy in later life. Dinner with the Queen perhaps?
The Student remembers a game he played a few years ago where he dislocated his little finger. He was in pain, he was unable to field properly and The Wick lost resoundingly. He still has the scars to prove it. But he wouldn't give his finger the snip for a game of cricket....
Or would he?

I'm afraid I wont be cutting off any bits for the Wick cause. Not even with Greenwoods supervision.
Fudgey did agree to have his nose broken in the cause a while back...
As my old man always said to me after copping a few bouncers in the ribs at nets: "take the pain and shut up" - strong words from a man who never bothered to roll his arm over in vein, but be that as it may. Oram should play with a busted finger - Ian Healy used to go out to bat when his hands looked more like a packet of twisties and he didn't complain.
FACT
I tried slicing something off for the wick cause. Put me back about 6 weeks. Not recommended.
Gate Hopper - the only cause you were persuing that evening was your own. The Wick denies responsibility for your gate hopping shenanigans
