Aussie ace to miss rest of ODI series

Cricket, 13:35, October 29, 2009

Australia wicket-keeper Tim Paine has been forced to pull out of the one-day series against India after breaking a finger.

Paine picked up the injury during Australia's 99-run defeat in the second game of the seven-match series in Nagpur on Wednesday and will now have to sit out the rest of the series. The 24-year-old will be replaced by Graham Manou for the third game in New Delhi on Saturday.

Australia's chief selector Andrew Hilditch said: "Tim Paine has a fractured finger from the game and is unable to take any further part in the series. He will return to Australia as soon as his replacement arrives.

"Graham Manou is travelling to India and will be available for selection for the next game."

India have named an unchanged side for the third game with the series level at 1-1.
