MIKE GATTING, the former England cricket captain, went to hospital with a serious injury to his left forearm yesterday after a bizarre incident during Middlesex's one-day match against the Australians at Lord's.
Having been run out for 32, he was still furious with himself as he tried to push open the dressing-room door. Instead, he shattered the glass and suffered a bad cut. 'Gatt went to shove the door open but missed the wooden panelling and put his hand right through a pane of glass,' Gatting's team- mate John Emburey said.
Gatting, 35, was taken to St Mary's Hospital near by. Joe Hardstaff, the Middlesex secretary, said: 'Happily there's no damage to tendons or ligaments but he's likely to be out for a couple of weeks.'
