da spicy bet: Andrew Hignell30-Jul-2001Glamorgan skipper Steve James faces a month on the sidelines afterbreaking a bone in his left hand.The injury took place yesterday at Taunton as James was struck on his glove by a short rising deliveryfrom England paceman Andy Caddick during his side’s innings defeat against Somerset.Although he will not need an operation on his hand, James is unlikely to play again untilGlamorgan`s final two Championship matches of the season, against Leicestershire and Surrey,during September.From an injury point of view, 2001 has been a nightmare summer after Jamesmissed the opening two Championship matches of the season following a knee operation back in March.”It has been immensely frustrating for me sitting on the sidelines,” said James. “Nothinghas gone right for me and I`m obviously upset to be missing our big relegation battleagainst Lancashire, starting on Wednesday at Colwyn Bay.”James though is confident that the Welsh county can soon move up the table. ” A bit of a gap hasappeared, but as various sides showed last year, it is nothing that a couple of wins can’tchange. Glamorgan have a good record at Colwyn Bay, so hopefully we can start by gettingone against Lancashire.”
