Bushrangers call on McKay and Pattinson Harwood added to Victoria's injury list January 25, 2008
Victoria have called on Clint McKay and Darren Pattinson as they face a familiar problem with several of their frontline fast bowlers missing through injury. The pair has been included in the Bushrangers' 12-man squad for their FR Cup match against South Australia in the Gippsland city of Traralgon on Sunday. They were already missing Dirk Nannes with a foot injury and Gerard Denton with an ankle problem, but now Shane Harwood and John Hastings have been added to the casualty list. Harwood has a groin injury after playing in the Pura Cup win over the Redbacks this week, while Hastings had surgery earlier this week to have a pin inserted in a fractured finger. The veteran Mick Lewis also cut their pace options by one when he announced his retirement from state cricket on Wednesday. It leaves Peter Siddle to spearhead a less experienced attack, bringing back memories of last summer when all of Victoria's contracted fast bowlers were injured at one point. The limited-overs clash will be the closest thing to a genuine home game for Siddle, who was born in Traralgon and was raised in the nearby town of Morwell. A win for the second-placed Redbacks would give them a strong chance of reaching the FR Cup final, while the bottom-of-the-table Bushrangers could jump as high as third with a victory.
