Not much argument with that, but he has one of those actions that lends itself to injury.
Only 18 Tests, at 34 years old. |

| I agree, Bond is/was an outstanding bowler and when he was fit he was probably the best in the world. |

| In fairness, I don't think there is a precedent to base that on MON! |

Andre Agassi once said that Richard Krajicek got injured just thinking about tennis.
I think Shane Bond gets injured just thinking. |

Shane Bond's Test cricket comeback has lasted just one match after New Zealand's premier pace bowler was ruled out of the remainder of the current series against Pakistan on Tuesday because of an abdominal tear.
Bond reported discomfort in the aftermath of his man-of-the-match performance during New Zealand's 32-run victory in the first Test at Dunedin last weekend.
He had scans on Tuesday that confirmed a tear, a recurrence of the injury that forced him to retire from Test cricket in November, 2007, after playing South Africa in Johannesburg.
Bond took match figures of 8-153 in Dunedin - including the key wicket of Umar Akmal during Pakistan's failed run chase on Saturday - in his first Test appearance in two years and just 18th since his debut in 2001.
The 34-year-old misses the second Test starting in Wellington on Thursday and the final Test at Napier starting on December 11.
The New Zealand selectors are considering adding a replacement to the squad, probably Tim Southee
