Robert Craddock discusses the problem of Australia's fast bowlers getting injured too often, in the Herald Sun. The main question, he says, is whether to give fast bowlers workload restrictions or let them build up rhythm and strength by bowling continuously.
vThe Argus interviewers were bombarded with theories from well-known cricket people who pointed out that West Indian great Courtney Walsh bowled more than 30,000 balls toiling year round for the West Indies and Gloucestershire for 14 years and barely broke a toe nail. Once asked to the secret of his longevity, Walsh replied "I never stop ... I'm almost scared of stopping. You have a Mercedes you keep it running."
