Why does the current generation of fast bowlers suffer so many injuries?

Completely agree that Steyn has played far less cricket than Donald and other predecessors like Akram. All I was saying is that he is the fittest of the current lot. That just tells you how poor the fitness levels of other fast bowlers currently playing are.

Steyn is not the fittest of the lot. It is Mitchel Johnson.

By fitness, if you mean 6pack abs, then I dont agree with you... Fitness means the ability to bowl long spells with sustained hostility & with a lot of accuracy & also be able to keep that over 3-5 tests(about 40-60 overs in each test). I equate fitness to endurance more than muscle mass.

I am not talking about muscles or 6 pack abs. I am talking about the same. Johnson is the one guy who can bowl whole day maintaining high speeds, not even Steyn can do that.

Praveen Kumar once bowled 40 overs on the trot continuously.

How does accuracy relate to fitness? He is always inconsistent because of his action but whenever he has got it right he has proved to be handful against any team.

They take too many medicines etc. This is true. The whole medical world is a business now. The more medicines are being used to save us, the more impract it is having for people to suffer too. Look at radiology. They come up with it's just scanning for about 7000 us dollars. Just scanning I am talking about. Surgery costs more. Though simple Lemon solution has come which could be better but it will spoilt the Medical Market and hence doctors have been doing these kind of things. p.s - nothing against any doctor. I am not generalizing. I know not all doctors are like that.
