Zak injury updates

[Karan114]

Lev the next test' date='we are fecked at Lords......[/quote'] Indeed...our batsmen are going to have a hell of a task to save this game on Sunday and Monday :nervous:

[DeepFineLeg]

You have hit the nail on the head on both the counts.

1. Zaheer wasn't completely fit
2. Shield good bowlers from ODIs including Ishant Sharma. One just needs to look how Steyn was handled by South Africa

Steyn played the full IPL season 5 after playing WC.

[Karan114]

If Praveen Kumar keeps running onto the pitch, we will be left with an attack of Ishant, Bhajji and Raina.

Oh, this is news to me ... ! Check the ODI's and limited overs versus Test matches he played in the initial part of his career.

If ZAK is out of this series I believe his test career is over.

Like I said in the other thread' date=' if Zak doesn't play the next test, Sreesanth is the luckiest player alive.[/quote'] :hysterical: Man that is some strong dope you u got with you :hatsoff: WTF are you talking about ? Sree played in SA and did a decent job. If he was available for WI, PK would have probably not played a single test match nor PK would be playing here then.

LMAO !! :hysterical:

Your post, now start .... !

[Guest Gunner]

Your post' date=' now start .... ![/quote'] Certainly. At 33 how many more test seasons do you think ZAK has considering his fitness?

[Guest Gunner]

Two

Which is already a high expectation for a fast bowler considering Srinath etc had already retired at ZAK's age. Even if we go with two, considering his track reocrd for the last two years how many full test series do you expect him to play out of this? Whether we like it or not ZAK's body is catching up with him. There is however one way he can do those two seasons, if he retires from all other forms of cricket including IPL, now you tell me is he going to give up a big pay day at the IPL or test cricket? :winky:

Any real update on his hamstring? Cant find any news? So came on this thread.

Scan reports would only come by tomorrow morning I guess.

Consider Zak gone for the series. What a piss poor fitness. He should call it quits.

Khan went for a hospital scan this evening - results will be known tomorrow. The whole episode shows that have to unearth some quality and consistent bowlers asap. Khan won't be around for much longer considering his ropey fitness and age. In recent years too many bowlers have broken down and the BCCI needs to get its finger out and invest in fitness and physio facilities.

[BERGKAMP]

If he is ruled out of this game, I hope we follow the example of West Indies who still bowled their hearts out after Rampaul was ruled out of bowling in the first innings in Dominica. Time for others to step up and prove we are a team and not relying on 1 or 2 individuals. Especially Old Harbi needs to STEP UP and LEAD the other bowlers.

[kabira]

Zak is 33 already.. :((:((:((:((:((:((
