Martyn back for Warriors

Source: AAP - December 13, 2005

STRUGGLING Western Australia has received a boost, with former Test batsman Damien Martyn ready to return from a finger injury in Saturday's Pura Cup match against Queensland.

Martyn has been sidelined since breaking the tip of a finger on his right hand during the six-wicket ING Cup win against South Australia on November 12.

His inclusion will offer much needed experience to a Warriors side that has started the season with four straight outright defeats, its worst run since the 1948-49 season.

The Warriors face a Bulls side at the Gabba that has also had a slow start, winning one of its opening three matches.

All-rounder David Bandy makes way for Martyn.

Marcus North will again skipper the team in the absence of Test stars Justin Langer and Mike Hussey.
