O'BRIAN OUT FOR THE SEASON
« on: Jan 27^th, 2006, 6:25pm »

I have just read the Dominion Post .The newspaper is from Wellington ,New Zealand .The sports headlines say that Ian O'brian the wellington and new zealand fast bowler is out of action for the rest of the season with a back injury .His replacement is Charlie Shreck , the notts bowler .
Is this the O'Brian that the follow on lads claim to be one of the quickest ,and best , bowlers in the Bassetlaw League . Did he play for Glapwell last season and will this throw a doubt as to O'Brians availability this season ? Check it out on --- newspapers in New Zealand ( ask jeeves ) and click on to Dominion Post ( Wellington )

He's pretty confident that he'll be ok and actually said "this could benefit Glapwell as I'll be raring to go" - maybe take a few games for him to get into the swing of things but it always does.

I was of the understanding that stress fractures in the back take about 6 months to be fully right. Could be completely wrong. Anyone going to 'Jimmy' about the name of the thread?

Just in case Ian reads this himself, I'm the England Indoor Mum who travelled all the way to Wellington in September 2002. Get well soon.

Hey all..

Yup, out for this season here in NZ. 3 stress fractures in my lower back. So that means 3 months off bowling from when I stopped. This maybe a little shorter if things go well, if the bone knits quickly; and I'm doing everything I can for that...

Kinda makes a mess of this season here for me, but, I can assure you I will be keen to play once the healing and strengthen has been done. Just about in time for the start of the wonderful English summer.

Stef, I remember, and thanks.... you right with the x-rays, it doesn’t show, but the MRI and then the CT scan show it all. Real pretty picture, pretty messy in there actually!

Oh, and Stevo, you've been knocked off the biggest 6 too.... The big guy, captain from Blidworth with all the 'bling', John, i think; last ball of the match, 6 to win..... mmmm.. that was big!!

Well, it's a job isn't it??

Ok mate i'll not mention it again, but it was really a go at our openers who got wiped out by you, not at you but it is nice getting runs against a quality bowler. Get well and hope to see you soon.
