Angel, Rogers out of WA Pura team

Retravision Warriors Jo Angel and Chris Rogers have been ruled out of WA's PURA Cup Clash against the SpeedBlitz Blues starting at the SCG tomorrow.

Angel has strained an abdominal muscle. It was sustained during training before Sunday's ING Cup loss to the Blues and Angel missed that game. Angel will head back to WA for an ultrasound and is likely to be out of action for a fortnight.

This means he will miss the Retravision Warriors ING Cup clash against the West End Redbacks on November 9th at the Adelaide Oval.

Rogers will miss the PURA Cup match with a strained lower abdominal muscle. Rogers was struck on the hip during the ING Cup match against the Redbacks at the WACA Ground on October 24th and the injury flared up during the ING Cup loss to NSW on Sunday.

He to will return home and is only a fifty-fifty chance to be fit for the ING Cup match against the Redbacks on November 9.

Willetton all-rounder John Taylor will now make his first-class debut. The right-arm fast-medium bowler moved to WA from Victoria prior to the 2002-2003 season and starred for Willetton in the Vodafone Cup.

This led to the 24-year-old being offered a Warriors contract for 2003-2004. Taylor made his ING Cup debut against NSW on Sunday. He took 2-48 and earnt the praise of Australian Test Captain Steve Waugh after the game.

Scott Meuleman has travelled to Sydney and will take on 12th man duties.

The Team in likely batting order: Justin Langer ©, Michael Hussey (VC), Murray Goodwin, Marcus North, Shaun Marsh, Ryan Campbell, Peter Worthington, Beau Casson, John Taylor, Callum Thorp, Paul Wilson and Scott Meuleman 12th man.

Radio Fremantle 107.9FM will provide ball by ball coverage starting at 8am Perth time.
