To be precise, I fell on the 3rd and 4th fingers of my right hand. Put the dislocations back myself, left the field and put a soaked wicket-keeping inner glove on before returning to the field.

We 'ad it tough.

Hehe our opening bowler did the same last season... He was fielding in the covers, did possibly the worst dive i have ever seen and ended up falling over his right arm and loads of fingers... Looked absolutely awful... Out for the season too...

Yup.

I went to the hoss pickle after doing mine (the next day IIRC - I was convinced only of the dislocations) I was quite impressed when they showed me the X-rays. "Gnarly! Did I do that? Cooool" or words more 1970's-ish.

I was out for the season too, but as the game was back-endish anyway I didn't miss much cricket.

It was awkward driving with three fingers strapped together. Maybe I should have used a 3-iron off the tee.

My injury wasn't that bad but it was the after effects that hurt me.
I broke my right leg and was in plaster for ages and then crutches for even longer.
This was in a Xmas break, just after I was bowling really well, and then by the time I was healed the season was over so by the time the next season came around I lost my good form. I have been a terrible bowler since then ( 4 seasons ago).
