Injured Gabriel out of match, may fly home

HOBART:- Shannon Gabriel, West Indies' fastest bowler, is out of the Hobart Test and effectively the series after scans revealed the extent of the ankle injury he suffered on day one. The tourists' management will decide over the next couple days whether to send Gabriel home, as the stress reaction or "hot spot" uncovered in his left ankle - the early stages of a fracture - has a typical recovery time of about six weeks.–Agencies
