Blimey, it's only his little finger, you sound like he's about to lose his eyesight. I do agree he shouldn't carry on with the series, he could make it worse fielding and it would hamper his batting, but you try stopping someone involved in a game from carrying on! "Oy, mate, you've broken your arm!" "That's OK bud, I'll use the other....."
Remember Captain Kate, two games off with a thoroughly smashed jaw, back for the remainder to make sure she got her bronze medal...??
