HAWKESBURY cricketer Steve O’Keefe broke one of his fingers while playing grade cricket for Manly-Warringah at the weekend and will miss up to six weeks of cricket.
O’Keefe did the same thing last season.
It comes at a poor time for O’Keefe. Spinning rivals Ashton Agar and Jon Holland are both injured.
Australia usually opts for three fast bowlers and one spinner for most tests on home soil, the day-night test at Adelaide is often a chance to play two spinners.
