STRYIS INJURY CASUES TWITTER CHAOS IN BLACK CAPS
February 25, 2011 in CRICKET, SPORTS
Black Caps batsman Scott Styris has assured his thousands of followers on Twitter that his hand is okay and he will resume tweeting as soon as he returns to his hotel. Styris was struck on the hand by speed demon Shaun Tait during the Black Caps latest cricketing humiliation and suffered a suspected broken index finger. This is Styris’ main tweeting finger, although he has been practising using his elbow as a back up if he ever lost his hand.
Black Caps management were initially concerned that their top tweeter might be out for the tournament and this would be a real blow to the team moving forward. Styris had been in splendid Tweeting form over the previous 3 months, averaging 17 meaningless tweets to fellow and former Black Caps each day. In fact over the last 2 months he had clocked up an amazing 1534 tweets at a strike rate of 87, which in tweeting terms is sensational.
Fellow big time tweeters Guptil, Tuffey and Ryder were both upset following today’s events and must be wondering who they can tweet over the next couple of weeks if Styris’ injury causes him to be out of action. Rumours that John Wright may be joining twitter to help cover for Styris have not been confirmed.
