I suppose with Jennings having a shocker Steel is almost opening now - although getting bowled for 0 shouldering arms isn't a good idea!

In effect they 're saying we're giving him a rest from bowling a maximum of 4 overs and batting a maximum of an hour in a game he's going to attend anyway. Only FTECB could issue a statement like that and not realize how stupid it sounds.

Well that's the official line???

I suppose its up to Bunny now does he up sticks to another county if one offers him a better deal, or has he got plans for the next stage of his life after being a player and moves on.

Oh dear not sure how much longer he can go on. If he does not get his central contract renewed it will fall on Durhams toes as well. Its not even as if he has had a long hard couple of days in the field.

There has never been an actual diagnosis made public, as far as I know, just the more generalised 'heel injury'
if it is a soft tissue injury it could require several months of complete rest to recover from, and actually that might serve him better than trying to 'manage' the injury.
How old is he?
how much time does he have at the top of the game?
