Australia�s Rogers feared career was over

AFP

AFP, BIRMINGHAM (UK): Australia opener Chris Rogers has revealed how he thought his career was finished after suffering an on-field dizzy spell during the second Ashes Test at Lord's.
The 37-year-old left-hander had to leave the field on the fourth and final day as Australia completed a 405-run thrashing of England to level the five-match series at 1-1.
A week of tests in London revealed nothing more serious than a balance problem in the inner ear, thought to have been caused when he was hit on the helmet by a short ball from James Anderson at Lord's in his first-innings
173 -- Rogers's Test-best score.
The test results came amid fears Rogers had suffered concussion -- something which forced him out of Australia's preceding 2-0 Test series win in the West Indies after he was hit on the head batting in the nets.
"If it was concussion (at Lord's), I would have definitely thought that maybe that was it (for my career)," Rogers, who plans to retire after the Ashes, told the cricket.com.au website.
He came through a training session on Monday which appeared to suggest he would retain his place for the third Test at Edgbaston starting on Wednesday.
