Read this on cricinfo. Allrounder desperate to appear in World Cup and Fingers optional as Oram pursues dream.
After breaking his left ring finger in a freak fielding accident he's so desperate to take part in New Zealand's campaign that he is willing to do away with it altogether. "If it means cutting the finger off, if that's the worse-case scenario, if that's the last resort, I'll do that, there's no way I'm missing this," Oram told NZPA.
I am disappointed that in this era of catchy headlines, none of the papers claimed “Oram gives World Cup the finger!”
