MacGill sues CA for injury payments
Melbourne: Former leg-spinner Stuart MacGill has sued Cricket Australia for 2.6 million dollars, claiming that CA owes him the money as part of his injury payments. According to a report in ‘The Daily Telegraph’, MacGill has claimed that he was unfit to play in May 2008 due to “numbness and pain in his hands, knee and shoulder”. “In a writ filed with the Supreme Court today, the 43-year-old former bowler claims these symptoms, suffered over the preceding year, were due to complications from old injuries he received while playing between 1998 and 2006,” the report stated. “During this time MacGill allegedly required medical treatment or surgery for a fractured ankle and elbow, displaced discs, broken nose, cartilage damage to his knee, nerve damage to his hands and wrists, finger pain and a shoulder injury. “Court documents allege Cricket Australia advised MacGill to return to Australia and seek medical treatment after he told the team manager and captain about his injuries in 2008.” MacGill has complained that CA did not make the injury payments to him when he was laid off. MacGill had announced his retirement from international cricket in 2008. (PTI)
Anderson salutes de Villiers’ ‘hell of an innings’
Nelson: Corey Anderson saluted AB de Villiers on Monday for a “hell of an innings” after the South African broke the New Zealander’s record for the fastest century in a one-day international. De Villiers took just 31 balls to smash his way to 100 against the West Indies in Johannesburg on Sunday, five balls faster than Anderson when he set the record against the same opposition in Queenstown a year ago. “Records are there to be broken and congratulations to AB, it was obviously a hell of an innings,” Anderson said in Nelson where New Zealand are preparing for the fourth ODI against Sri Lanka. De Villiers went on to score 149, including 16 sixes and nine fours, from just 44 balls which impressed Anderson whose 131 not out against the West Indies came from 47 deliveries and included 14 sixes and six fours. “To get 149 off 44 is probably even more special,” said the big-hitting New Zealander who described breaking records as just “one of those things that happens. “You’re in the zone I guess and you feel like every ball’s probably going to go to the boundary, and when you mis-hit it, it sort of misses a fielder and it tends to go for four. It’s one of those days where it all comes off.” (AFP)
