Charles Van der Gucht the young Hampshire left-arm spinner, is now totally out of danger and is well on the road to recovery.

Charlie who was knocked over by a taxi a few weeks ago, visited the Rose Bowl today in his wheelchair to support the second XI in their 4 day match with Worcestershire II.

"I am feeling good in myself," said Charlie, "and it is great to be back amongst my mates [see picture]. It will be a long haul back, but I should lose the crutches within three weeks, and then a winter of extensive physiotherapy."
