rkt.india Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 James Pattinson has been ruled out of the remainder of the Ashes series in England after being diagnosed with a stress fracture of the lower back. Pattinson reported "hip and back soreness" after the final day of the second Investec Test at Lord's and subsequent scans, which he underwent in London on Monday, showed the early signs of a stress fracture. He will travel with the squad to Sussex and then on to Manchester before returning home to Australia. His place was likely to have come under scrutiny ahead of the Old Trafford Test after two disappointing performances at Trent Bridge and Lord's, where he has taken seven wickets at 43.85. This is the latest injury setback in Pattinson's career following a rib injury he picked up against South Africa last year and a foot problem he sustained against India the during the 2011-12 season. Cricket Australia team doctor Peter Brukner said: "We had some scans done today in London that have identified an early stage low back stress fracture. Unfortunately he will not take any further part in this Test series and will commence a rehabilitation program with the aim to have him back for the Australian summer." Pat Howard, the Cricket Australia team performance manager, added: "While we are obviously disappointed for James, the selectors have five bowlers fit and ready perform in England, providing them with many options. "It is also important to note that several players have been performing for Australia A and are available to be called up at any stage if the NSP required them. We've been well planned to have as many bowlers fit and available in the lead-up to this important series and while this set-back for James is disappointing, we are confident we have good fast bowling depth." The other pace options currently in England, who weren't selected at Lord's, are Mitchell Starc, Jackson Bird and James Faulkner. The fast bowlers currently on duty for Australia A in Zimbabwe and South Africa are Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Chadd Sayers, Nathan Coulter-Nile and Gurinder Sandhu. Cummins, regularly billed as one of the brighest talents in Australian cricket, has played one Test and is being handled very carefully by Cricket Australia after he, too, suffered a number of injuries. Hazlewood, who has appeared in one ODI and one Twenty20, is another who has had fitness issues. Sayers has played just 14 first-class matches but put his name in contention with an impressive 2012-13 season and showed eye-catching form when Australia A were in the UK ahead of the Ashes series. Coulter-Nile was part of Australia's squad for the recent Champions Trophy in England. http://www.espncricinfo.com/the-ashes-2013/content/story/654271.html So, this is the reason he has been so below par. The should call Cummins back from Zim and SA tour to provide them a bit of pace.

G_B_ Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I think even Australia knew this would happen. They have plenty of replacements. Bird should come in.

Anyway fragile player, don't think he will end up as well as I thought he would Chepu :hehe: Aus will miss their best batsman :hysterical::hysterical:
MCcricket Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 This also proves bowling technique and fitness means little if your bones and body structure is different, Pattinson has a good action and a balanced approach.
rkt.india Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 tl;dr article But how is this the reason for his chitty line/length and wouldn't the stress injury have happened after he had played and bowled so many overs? Anyway fragile player, don't think he will end up as well as I thought he would :hysterical::hysterical: These kind of things dont happen suddenly. It is a result of consistent pressure on the bones which hampers your bowling and makes you uncomfortable which increases as you bowl more. He did not bowl badly in first test but in second test.
Old guy Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 His pace was down by 10ks from india. last year even steyn's pace was down (every bowler actually ) maybe its speed guns ?
Lord Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 last year even steyn's pace was down (every bowler actually ) maybe its speed guns ? Finn was clocking 90 MPH in first test,even Harris bowled at decent pace,sp not sure about that
Old guy Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Finn was clocking 90 MPH in first test' date='even Harris bowled at decent pace,sp not sure about that[/quote'] 90 miles is nothing that is 144km these guys clock 150 here and there so yeah maybe it is slow ..?
Lord Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 90 miles is nothing that is 144km these guys clock 150 here and there so yeah maybe it is slow ..? Finn?he was always 140-145 bowler imo
vayuu1 Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Finn?he was always 140-145 bowler imo Didnt he clocked 152-3 during India tour,I have seen him bowl between late 140's to early 150's on numerous occasions,I think we might see guys like Overton ,toppley and tyfield in poms jersey,coz barring fin and to some extent meaker no body is genuine quick,Overton we know is seriously quick,can be a handy bat as well,toppley and tyfield brings left arm angle into play,along with pace,their is so much sameness in English pace attack pace wise right now,these guys would be a welcome addition to their squad
