Australia face more injury concerns in the build-up to the eagerly awaited Test series in South Africa following blows to Cameron Green and Matt Renshaw in their consolation ODI dead-rubber triumph.
Injury-plagued Green suffered what appeared an abdominal injury amid a brutal pace examination in rainy Potchefstroom, and Renshaw took a severe blow on his right wrist in the field, marring their 45-run (DLS Method) victory on Wednesday that prevented a series whitewash.
Green's planned return to bowling after a shoulder problem was shelved after a torrid over when a lightning Corbin Bosch beamer felled him, hitting him straight in his box, before he rose to hit the next delivery for six, but then got hurt again trying painfully to swat a bouncer.
