Injured Smith doubtful for second Test

KOLKATA, NOV. 27. South African skipper Graeme Smith was rendered doubtful for the second Test against India after he suffered an injury on his left foot in a `freak accident' on Saturday.

Smith, who was returning after the practice session at the Eden Gardens, suffered the injury when the vehicle from which he had alighted pulled away and hit him on the left leg, the team's media manager Gerald de Kock said.

Terming it a `freak accident', he said although an x-ray of the injured leg had not revealed any serious damage, an MRI scan had shown some damage to the soft tissues on outside of his foot.

He also confirmed that Smith had pain in his leg and the treatment of his affected leg would continue during the night.

The South African skipper, who was rushed to a private nursing home for initial treatment, could be seen wobbling on crutches with a bandaged leg.

To a direct query on whether Smith would play tomororw, de Kock simply said, "you have to wait till tomorrow for the final decision." — PTI
