“He dislocated his shoulder. The physios managed to put it back in place but he has to go for more scans to see how serious it is,” Davidson said. He added, “I think it would be doubtful… I wouldn’t say he was out, but I think if you dislocate your shoulder in cricket it would be doubtful. It will be difficult to come back but we will see what the scans show. “Davidson admitted the injury was a big setback for the team: “It was a tough thing for us to have our captain go down like that at the start of the game. Things didn’t really go our way either.” Still, he hopes Madsen stays with the team and helps on the sidelines: “I hope so. He’s an integral part of the team. He’s an experienced leader. We may have to give him a redshirt, but he can join the coaching staff.”Despite the blow, Italy showed some fight. Ben and Harry Mananti have formed a strong partnership that allows them to continue the chase, a goal Davidson believes is possible at some stage. “Getting 200 runs on that wicket is achievable… I’m still hopeful that we can get back into the game. It just takes a few big overs.”He also noted that many of the players were new to large crowds: “Some of the guys on the team haven’t played in front of more than 100 people… so it was a great experience.”
