Malcolm Merlyn Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 I cant see a prosperous career for him at such a young age he is breaking down for nearly a year. Imran Khan/Waqar Younis/Denis Lillee/Brett Lee all had similar injuries at the start of their careers.Such Injuries come with bowling Fast.
IKnowU Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Imran Khan/Waqar Younis/Denis Lillee/Brett Lee all had similar injuries at the start of their careers.Such Injuries come with bowling Fast. They also came with wickets......so we pray he can bring that too
saneindian Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Did he go to Australia for the surgery he was supposed to have? Hopefully he is being given the topmost medical advice possible. Should target to be in the A quads for India A tours in July August.

Really wanted to see him bowl.He and Yadav and Morkel were excellent for DD last year.
Vivek.S.123 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Is this guy paralyzed or something? He is always injured. There goes another talented Indian seamer :((
Ultimate_Game Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 He's done. Stick a fork in him He's injury prone and at best can play occasional T20 matches but that's about it. He will never be able to play Tests and would find it tough to last through an entire odi series/tourney.

Mitchell Johnson was similar a few years back when he had suffered 4 stress fractures by the age of 22-23 but look how fit and strong he is now. You cannot predict what future holds for him.

You cannot predict what future holds for him. Aaron is even more injury prone than Johnson and Shane Watson. Since the last couple of years he has played an occasional game or two and got injured again. I hope he recovers and wish him all the best for the future as he would be an invaluable asset for India with the next WC in Aus but I don't have much hope/expectations from him.
Crookbond Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Johnson played 40+ consecutive Tests and 100+ ODIs in a period of 4 years from 2007-2011.
Malcolm Merlyn Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 Johnson played 40+ consecutive Tests and 100+ ODIs in a period of 4 years from 2007-2011. That was after his first 2-3 stress fractures.
rkt.india Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Johnson played 40+ consecutive Tests and 100+ ODIs in a period of 4 years from 2007-2011. Johnson was one of the most injury prone aussie bowler at 20-24 years of age. Johnson would have debuted early if he didnt have injury issues.
Crookbond Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 That was after his first 2-3 stress fractures. Yes - never said otherwise. Johnson was one of the most injury prone aussie bowler at 20-24 years of age. Johnson would have debuted if he didnt have injury issues. Quite true before 25, post 25 he was less injury prone. Apparently the Aussies believe that 25-30 is the best age for a fast bowler based on historical data. A comprehensive review of the formative years of fast bowlers is one of the less-trumpeted but more valuable pieces of work conducted by Cricket Australia's team performance regime. In their research, which covers the past 40 years, the bowling undertaken by pacemen up to the ages of 23-25 is placed in the sharpest focus. The data suggests, overwhelmingly, that bowlers are likely to face a range of injury problems until their bodies mature fully, around the time they turn 25. "We've got data showing us that fast bowlers are very resilient between the ages of 25 and 30 - that's when they're at their best," Alex Kountouris, who has been working as a physio with the national team since 2003, says. However, it is quite possible that by overloading a young bowler, his body can be scarred to a point that even after 25 is reached, injuries will worsen. http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/current/story/603419.html
mastana Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Bhai agli baar tab thread banana jab woh fit ho jaye. News toh woh hoti ke varon aaron sahab fit hai. Saal ke 11 mahine khatiya pakar ke baithe rahenge toh bharatvaasiyon ko apni tezdhar gaindbaazi se virodhiyon ke chakkay churaa ke aur kachay utaar ke maza kaise chakayenge.
vvvslaxman Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I will be surprised if Varun takes half the wickets Johnson took in his entire career.
rkt.india Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I will be surprised if Varun takes half the wickets Johnson took in his entire career. That's not the point here.
vvvslaxman Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 That's not the point here. I dont think comparison is relevant here. I don't think Varun Aaron is going to stop picking up ifrequent njuries when he turns 25, just because Johnson could. Aaron is looking bulky not lean and mean like Johnson.
