O'Rourke was out in that second innings too, so it was just Henry and the spinners. (Mitchell too I guess). Described as 'stiffness' so hopefully precautionary and he'll be a go for the second match.
He's a Kiwi quick looking useful. It'll be a stress fracture.
We have pretty average form in terms of keeping our young quicks injury free
We do. @Chris can probably give us an idea why. Training? Lack of match play? Or maybe, with our limited depth we notice it more.
A tough one the pulling back of bowling loads was being used as a training tool,this seems to lead to more back problems.
In the QLD under age rep programs we are more building up loads safely to get the body stronger.It seems to be working with less problems developing,
You can not train for a marathon by doing sprint training is the thinking.You need a decent amount of load work to build strength.
I think NZ are still working on the less work theory.I also think NZ at under age level are not working enough on things like over rotation of hips and shoulders which leads to back problems and proper alignment when the player is young then you have less problems latter.
Some players with poor nutrition when young also leads to structural problems within the back.
Different era of course but I don’t remember the Windies quicks aside from Ian Bishop ever having injury problems. They just rolled in and decimated teams. If one had an off day the other three generally did the business…..and Bishop himself still took 161 at 24.27. Amazing stats.
Dennis Lillee was a notable one who came back from injury though, can someone give Kyle Jamieson a copy of his book ?
-
Michael Holding was a somewhat early retirement with injuries. The Windies also weren't renowned for rushing through their overs in that era - smart on their part tho. We still bowled a few into the ground/had bad luck with injuries even then, us being us... Brendon Bracewell among others springs to mind.
Lets hope O'Rourke isn't joining a long list....

I know nothing of this "Reddit" you speak of. I'm taking full credit (as Fitzy used to say).
43 for 2. Zimbots won toss and batting.
Surprisingly Henry has both wickets.

And I strike. Young out almost immediately after I write that. Looks like Conway should have been out the over before with a dodgy LBW decision, but there is no DRS as apparently Zimbabwe cricket couldn't afford the setup cost. ICC should have stepped in here and set it up. Pretty crap that the poorer teams don't get the full setup due to funds.
Just read too that due to dropping light, the fast bowlers are no longer allowed to bowl. Blimey.

Sorry, was in a hurry last night. I meant my post was inspired by Reddit names - not yours. Fat finger time.
Also, you wonder if ZIM should be in Tests at the moment. They seem to be really struggling at home - god knows how they'd go away

Henry goes past Cairns senior to be 9th all time test wicket taker. Morrison at 160 is next on the list (Henry on 134, so that's probably a while away). Then an even bigger jump to Cairns jnr at 218. Dunno if we'll play enough tests for Henry to get there. If he does, then Chris Martin at 233 might be catchable as well, which would make Henry 6th overall. 5th is Wagner at 260, almost double Henry's current total.
