Cricket A are far more likely to warn him off test cricket. The kids want to see Patto, a win, and be home by 9.

It was on the cards with the way he was bowling. His run up looked off and he was lacking rhythm. He put too much in instead of bowling within himself and ended up injured. Such a shame because I thought he would be our trump card in England.
I reckon Harris will be fine as there is a much longer break.
The problem is our bowlers don't get a rest during the game.
I'm a bit pissed that it is being reported that Pattinson was sore after the first test, WHY *ingG PLAY HIM.

around the same time the ca look at what we're doing different to good test nations in general. so never.
Cummins is in that injury class as well.
I would be saying to Cummins, just get through a full season of Shield cricket, before flinging him into a Test series.
The problem is, Cummins is likely to get wickets in the Shield, and by the time we get to Australia we might be down to Coulter-Nile, McKay and Starc bowling for us. If he gets a 5 for you know they're going to include him, you'd rather him break down after a Test than after a Shield match. Ideally of course we'd do as you say but we wouldn't be able to afford it.
Well....I'd rather he not break down at all!
A season or even two of carefully managed Shield cricket might be what he needs to get the body up to the rigours of Test cricket.
We can't keep picking him on the back of a few hit and giggle games and then expect him to back up with 20-30 overs.
Yeah well look ideally we'd have all of our quicks playing a full Shield season (when not in Tests), plus County cricket in the winter. But instead we'll have a few games early in the year, then the 20 20 s**t then the rest of the season then half of them will go to the IPL.
Instead of having a maximum amount of overs per week that they can bowl (I believe this is what happens?) they should have a minimum, put work into them. Who really knows though, if the cricket coaches don't know how the * would I?
Some of them are batting for far longer than the batsmen as well.
Answered your own question. Most of them aren't exactly getting a workout during matches.

Pattinson showed balls of steel in his batting IMO. His resistance at Trent bridge and Lords was unbelievable . His bowling was alright apart from one bad spell at lords.
And his bowling at Lord's was obviously effected by his back.

He bowled poorly besides one or two spells, IMO. Shame he wasn't able to perform to his best.

the new Gillespie with all the injuries
If he went in sore, it explains his terrible bowling at Lord's. Coupled with his first time playing at the ground.
A patto_man injury is always on the cards in a long tour.

He also pretty much confirms that the short time between England's first and second innings was another trigger. Must have been a terrible feeling when his back started to get stiffer and stiffer as the innings wore on.

This is disappointing and this injury could of been entirely avoidable if the batters did their job.
Makes you realise how good Peter Siddle has been because he has not broken down at all.

Too busy concentrating on the upcoming BBL and how they can extract every last $ out of it and even extend it in future years.
Our injury management is a joke - does any other side in the world have their young quicks break down as consistently as we do?
I don't care how good a captain Clarke is, but if he causes the word "batsmen" to be replaced in the average Australian vocabulary with "batters" I'm calling for his head.

Worse than that, turning into the next Bruce Reid.
Fortunately we can actually cover him though, Bird and Starc are going to be just as useful, Bird a step up. The crazy thing at the moment the only players we can't cover are Harris and Siddle. The batsmen are crap and really you could insert a whole new batting line up and they'd do no worse, Haddin is still as crap as ever, if not worse judging by his effort in the second test and we still have no quality spinner.
Rodney Hogg mentioned on SEN the other day that respected Cricket Guru, Brendan McArdle sent a text to Hoggy during the Lords Test suggesting that Pattinson shouldn't have played the Test. McArdle is a confident of Pattinson having been his coach at Dandenong for many years. Draw the dots but it would appear he went into the match injured.
