Star batter Steve Smith could be forced to miss Australia's upcoming tour of the West Indies after suffering a "gruesome" compound dislocation of his finger.
In a major blow for Australia's immediate and long-term prospects, Smith hurt his right little finger during a crucial moment of the World Test Championship final at Lord's on Friday.
Wearing a helmet while standing closer in slips than normal, the former Australia captain put down a regulation chance off Mitchell Starc that would have dismissed Proteas captain Temba Bavuma for only two.
