Buck Shelford and the torn scrotum, Richie McCaw and the broken foot and now add BJ Watling and the dislocated finger to the New Zealand sporting lore of playing through an injury in a big match.
The Black Caps wicketkeeper, appearing in his 75th and final test, suffered the injury on the final day of the World Test Championship final in Southampton as New Zealand went onto win the title by eight wickets.
Watling dislocated his finger in the 53rd over, with India six down.
Ravindra Jadeja was turned back after trying an ill-advised single, and on his path back to the stumps he blocked Watling's vision as the throw came in from skipper Kane Williamson.
