Campbell on the mend

Present during today's launch by the WACA of the Broome tri-series in late September was flamboyant opening Western Warriors batsman Ryan Campbell.

'Cambo' was hobbling about on crutches after surgery on his left leg to make more room around his knee-cap and erase the considerable discomfort that he felt towards the end of last season.

I asked Ryan if the discomfort was the reason he was hitting so many fours and sixes to which he quipped "Yeah, less running."

Campbell who revealed himself to being a bit of a CricInfo fan is expected to ready for the pre-season and Broome series in September.

Meanwhile he will just have to be content watching his fellow Warriors progress in the County season and surfing the web cam sites for the beautiful natural scenery of the south west coast of Western Australia.
