He left the ground and went to hospital where his worst fears were realised, and late returned with his hand heavily cast and the news that he would be out for 6 weeks. Smith was already going to miss the 5 match ODI series with an elbow injury that had given him much trouble for the whole tour.
He was 30* at the time, and the South Africans recovered well to be 1/125 at stumps. He has had a brilliant summer, averaging 80 runs against the Australians, including a superb century in Perth which helped South Africa chase 414. He also hit 2 half centuries in Melbourne to help them to their first ever series win in Australia.

Sean,
Keep writing. You did a good job on your article. I'm not much of a writer but I do like to read alot. I think that a few things I would suggest is that, keep your articles simple and keep them neutral. If you are an Australian cricket fan, it is only natural that you will talk about the Australian perspective of the match but try to keep a balance and look at things from South African's perspective as well. This way, you will bring in readers from both sides. It just keeps it more interesting that way. The second thing is a bit of a cliche, just keep practicing. The more you write the better you get.
