Cape Town - South Africa suffered a Cricket World Cup injury scare on Wednesday when in-form leg-spinner Imran Tahir
fractured his left thumb.

"The X-ray revealed a small
undisplaced fracture in his left thumb. The images have been sent home to Cricket South Africa's medical committee and we are waiting for the hand specialist, Dr Mike Solomons, to give us an opinion.
"His thumb has been splintered and immobilised and a decision on what happens further will be made in the next two days."
Tahir is the tournament's second-highest wicket-taker with 11 victims in three matches.
South Africa, who lost by just six runs to England, tackle India on Saturday.
