G_B_ Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 big blow. Was the standout Aussie bowler last ashes. If Johnson picks up an injury the Aussie pace attack is a big green
G_B_ Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Probably would have been one of the greats if not for injury. Similar to Shane Bond. A career of promise wasted by injury
BeautifulGame Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Real sad .Could have a great if not for Injuries . With hindsight should have been part of World cup .Would have been perfect send off
Scarves Posted July 4, 2015 Author Posted July 4, 2015 Tests: 113 wickets - 23.52 average - 19.82 average v. England - SR - 50.7 - BBI - 7/117 - HS - 74 v. India ODI - Average 18.90 in 21 games How could we forget how he cleaned up Cook in Perth or how he willed Australia to win the series v. South Africa in South Africa or how 46 wickets against England in the B2B Ashes.
G_B_ Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 he may as well have played in the IPL. Lol missed out of the money and also the ashes. Sad end.
gattaca Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Really sad to hear. He was a good bowler.Only if india could snatch him up atleast for bowling coaching role.
Scarves Posted July 4, 2015 Author Posted July 4, 2015 Really sad to hear. He was a good bowler.Only if india could snatch him up atleast for bowling coaching role. Not going to happen. He is basically Australia A's assistant from last year, so he might carry on with that. Yeah massive blow for Australia but they still have the bowlers. Pat Cummins is flying in.
sscomp32 Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Massive Blow to AUS. Sad end to a potentially great carrier ruined by Injured.
Kalia_Test Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Easily one of the top 2 fast bowlers in the world along with Steyn in last few years. Great pace, amazing control. Sad that he was so injury prone.
gslv Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Cook must be having a sigh of relief. Troubled him much in the last ashes.
Shivaji bhonsle Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Typical Aussie bowler, I must say. Added some weight and added some pace with it. Didn't had the perfect biomechanical bowling action, but still he was such an amazing bowler. Real workhorse. Sad to see him go
NareshK Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 I remember him bowling at 140-145k in the last Ashes at the age of 34 :hatsoff: and looked very sharp. Too bad injuries took their toll, otherwise could have become a great.
adi B Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Great bowler,my favourite!! Sad to see him retire with just 27 test match under his name
tweaker Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 What an abrupt end to his career.Injuries ruined his career.
BlueBee Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Such a shame... would've been one of the best bowlers had his career was not riddled with injuries
IKnowU Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Typical Aussie bowler' date=' I must say. Added some weight and added some pace with it. [b']Didn't had the perfect biomechanical bowling action, but still he was such an amazing bowler. Real workhorse. Sad to see him go Where do people pick up this shiete from? :hysterical:
Shivaji bhonsle Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Where do people pick up this shiete from? :hysterical: ehh? What's your problem? His bowling action is not something you suggest for youngsters. It worked for him, won't work for others.
