Right arm fast
State Vice-Captain
oh ok
I wonder if there have been any studies done as to why NZL seam bowlers seem to suffer so many career ending back problems.............seemingly more so than any other playing nation..........similarly it's not just a recent thing - Brendan Bracewell was going to be the 'next best thing' until he did his back...........
it primarily seems to be connected to trying to bowl at decent pace - so me thinks poor action mechanics / poor pitches / approach to the pitch too soft / ????????
there must be some reason behind it as AUS does not seem to have the same probs & certainly the injuries do not appear as career threatening..........

Winter training on hard surfaces indoors is one of the latest theories on that.
I guess if it's true you'd expect England to also be pretty badly affected, although perhaps with such a large population it's just not as noticable. I guess you could say for 50 million people to only produce one Harmison isn't very flash.

How do they bowl so fast? Muscles? Actions? Their methods can come useful in places like countries where everyone bowls at slightly faster than medium-pace. An ancient article on CricInfo's NZ page (posted in April 2003) said that a few changes in action can increase pace a lot. Now that you have 6 bowlers who have real pace, they should make good use of it. Their faster deliveries in unusual spots for the batsmen can make them a lot more effective. Coaches and video analyses have a major role to play in their development.
Butler would've had the bulging disc in his back, of course.
Tell me crickey, you're not a friend of McMillan's are you? Interesting that you made your debut post in this thread, three weeks after it would've slipped off the first page.
I was talking to the girlfriend of a FC cricketer the other day - she said she was blown away that people were actually discussing his efforts when she 'ego searched' his name on google. I started to feel quite uneasy, knowing exactly which site that was!

This guy is definitely not quick. Medium-fast at best.crickey said:
You must really be a big fan.
Keeping on supporting the guy by all means.
Te Ahu Davis was saying he bowls "up to 140kms" on the Cricket Company and we've already heard that fragile Sherlock is capable of express pace. They're probably three and four at the moment. Although neither is playing first class right now. Apparently, Sherlock is injured although I note there was an R Sherlock batting in the CHCH club competition last weekend.
Wade Cornelius was visibly quick prior to his back injury. I haven't seen him bowl since he came back this season though.

McMillan has been clocked at 140 in the past - I haven't seen him bowl this season, so he may not be near that at the moment, but for the last couple of seasons he has been off the short run.
