Message: [QUOTE="Bull Shark, post: 2518842, member: 7690"] We are well stocked for bowlers atm but the apparent physical fragility of a few of them is a concern .. Pat Cummins is permanently injured, Pattinson can't go more than two tests without straining or breaking something, Starc has had his issues and Harris is squeezing the last drips out of his aging body .. In fairness, all of those guys, besides Harris, are still very young and so their bodies are probably still developing but it seems strange that ever since the sports-scientists stuck their noses in and came up with these fast bowler work load limits, our fast bowlers have been getting more and more brittle .. Batting wise, hopefully what we're going through at the moment is making the people with power & influence in the game natinally re-think our approach a bit ... There's no doubt in my mind that 20/20 has compromised the abilities of batsmen to grind out long innings. But while ever India continues to dangle obscene financial incentives at anyone who can clear the fence, we're going to have young blokes choosing that pathway of money, hookers, drugs, booze & 'fixing' - aka the Indian Premier League.
