Has Zak done something to his hamstring again?

[saneindian]

He walked off the field in the last session after bowling a 4 over spell. Did comeback on the field but did not bowl. I thought it was fatigue and said so in the match thread as well. But CI says it could be related to his hamstring

Zaheer, though, bowled only a four-over spell, feeling his hamstring during the fourth, walking off immediately, and then coming back to the field but not bowling. That was a reminder for Indians fans not to get too far ahead of themselves. http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-v-india-2011/content/current/story/547233.html Hope its a minor problem and nothing serious.

:nervous: Our replacement bowlers are rubbish. Series over for us if he is injured. Hope it's not serious because there isn't a big break before the 2nd test.

[peterparker]

he had come back immediately..and by that time only 3-4 overs were left and yadav and ashwin were bowling good..before that he had taken 2 wickets already..so all is well

[Ram]

For somebody in his comeback game, he has bowled an immense amount of overs, to be honest. Michael Clarke has been very mindful of the his quicks' workload and has made it a point to use his 5th bowler every once in a while. For India, its essentially been the 3 quicks and Ashwin only. And that would have been ok in india where the spinners bowl 60% of the overs and the 2 quicks shoulder 20% each. Here in Australia, the roles have been completely reversed. The 3 quicks are bowling 80% of the overs and Aswhin is bowling 20%. That is a lot of bowling for the pacers.

I cant say I am surprised,he has bowled.a lot of overs and he is just a bit ahead of schedule with his injury.

:nervous: even if we manage to win this match, w/o zak in form, we are certain to lose the series.

damn we r fecked if hes out:nervous:

He came on again after 3-4 overs but did not bowl, I don't think there is a major problem. He had just gone in because he was tired and needed to freshen up.

[Old guy]

he is fine some times u gotta take precaution its a long series they wont have sent him back if it was major problem he seems to be getting fitter.

[ganeshran]

If he gets two quick wickets tomorrow, there will be rest for him irrespective of the match result. I just hope there is no injury

[Clarke]

Where's PK when you need him the most ?
