When you put on that much mass on a frame not pre-disposed to it, coupled with a fast bowler's workload - its a bit expected. That's why pace bowlers should try and avoid putting on bulk. Don't follow Akhtar's path. Look at the great windies bowlers of the past, or Brett Lee. or Mitch Johnson. Lean, wiry, hard dudes. Not inflated bulky buffaloes. Him being bulked up is not related to his shoulder injury. It is an old injury that probably flared up again. He already had a surgery previously and he bulked up only after that. Link to comment

But I'm saying that excess bulk is not advisable for pace bowlers, and only increases the likelihood of soft tissue non-impact injuries. Edited October 9, 2017 by sandeep Link to comment
Vk1 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 When you select a 38 year old bowler in a format suited for young guns and have no balls to drop a past his prime great former captain there's no hope of seeing anyone from this thread being given a run in the playing 11. They will give a odd chance on odd pitches unsuited to the players flair like playing pant on slow low pitches and then drop them. Ashwin and Jadeja were mediocre for long and begging to be dropped for a good two year period and they were never odi greats for such a long rope. MCcricket 1 Link to comment

This selection committee doesn't have the balls to rest or kick Dhoni, Nehra, Rahane n others, n recycling old failures then blooding new talent.It seems like musical chairs as far as selections, no direction, planning, just idiots who haven't even found answers for I Dias weak t20 batting, Middle order in ODi, selecting wrong players for wrong formats.
