Pattinson ruled out of Ashes series - suffers back stress fracture

[Fontaine]

he is blaming the aussies batting for his injury and that is just wrong.If you cant bowl 20 overs a day then you should not be playing test cricket.

Are you stupid or just ignorant? The guy can clearly play test cricket when he ran through the Indian team recently in India. Australia's bowlers had minimal rest because their batsmen couldn't even play a full day and virtually every fast bowler on display from Anderson, Finn, Bresnan, Harris, Broad and Pattinson have had injuries the last 10 months or so. All Pattinson was doing was saying what everybody from the media, fans, to the teams and captain/coach were already saying. The vast majoirty of modern bowlers can't stay injury free, it's not just a Pattinson thing.

he ran through the indian team? maybe they won that series 4-0.he was good in just first match and didnt look good after that and inevitably picked up another injury.

Uhhh, the point is you could say the above sentence about pretty much most young fast bowlers in the past 8-10 years. Zaheer, Anderson, Finn, etc all got injured when they were young and still break down now. I guess according to your logic they shouldn't have been playing test cricket either. What makes your post even more ludicrous is that you're a cowboys fan. Football players get injured and hurt ALL THE TIME. I guess they shouldn't be playing football right?
