David Warner’s early Christmas gift from Ben Stokes has come at a price in the form of a rib injury that may see the opener play through a Test series under duress for the second season in a row.
Warner was cleared of a break by scans taken on Thursday night but the pain from his badly bruised ribs must have been significant to prevent the tough-as-teak veteran from taking the field for England’s second innings. Cameras spotted him resting in the rooms with what appeared to be an ice pack on his right ribcage. Cricket Australia say he should be able to bat and field if required.
“It’s very painful, it hurts to cough, sneeze, laugh,” former Test star Michael Hussey said on Fox Cricket. “It can take a long time to heal. Mine was minor bruising, and I was still feeling pain six weeks later. If it gets you in the wrong spot it can be quite debilitating.”
