Breaking News: Shane Watson out for 6 months

[Guest Hiten.]

Due to stress fracture (back). Aussies are ***ed left, right and center :haha:

[The Outsider]

Australia should consider playing Ashley Noffke as their allrounder. His batting isn't all that great but is a much better bowler than Symonds and Watson put together. If Australia need to strengthen some department, its their bowling.

6 months! Thats a bloody long time....

6 months! Thats a bloody long time....

lawl.. sorry. Its 6 weeks. Guess I got too excited :D

[triam]

Jeez, this guy spends more time on the physical trainers bed than his own, reason enough for his wife to file for divorce. On a serious note, I do feel for him, talented bloke and comes across as pretty decent guy when compared with simmo and he is screwed by the selectors too, deserved to be in the team ahead of simmo.

terrible news for the aussies-they are the busiest team in 2009 playing non stop cricket with one month break thrown in.

:D

[Desi Cartman]

it is 6 months not 6 weeks .. he wont be able to bowl for longer than 6 months actually .. he can only start batting after 6 months . Source : abc radio , was listening to it on the way to work

[The Outsider]

Just heard on commentary - it is 6 months. Lee to be out for 6 weeks.

[Ram]

Six months !?.. Many players' international careers dont last that long!

[Desi Cartman]

I think IPL is having an impact .. Lee , watson , Sreesanth ,( akhtar & asif :D ). Playing so many games in just a month will put stress on the bodies so Im not really surprised that more bowlers are now getting these stress fractures

I think IPL is having an impact .. Lee ' date=' watson , Sreesanth ,( akhtar & asif :D ). Playing so many games in just a month will put stress on the bodies so Im not really surprised that more bowlers are now getting these stress fractures[/quote'] barely bowling 4 overs a match is not going hurt much-bowling 158 overs more than steyn this year might.

Breaking news :hysterical:

[kumble_rocks]

What's so breaking about this news anyways .. This guy has a brittle body , the bigger question I have is who is a bigger wuss , Shane Watson or Simon Jones ... Both unfit to be international cricketers imho.

[Fontaine]

tough break. Not great when two good cricketers go down with injury. Hope they recover well.

[swami1984]

Well there goes the Royals' hope for winning a second IPL trophy. No matter how brittle he was, his all-round performance was key.

[diegovegaz]

after lee's injury concerns, this is a deep setback to the australian side now, they will have to rope in a rookie, like a doug bollinger or ben hilfenaus i wonder why haven't they tried nathan bracken for tests yet???

[Dravid]

gwad canadian, atleast get the info right before posting he should give it up..
