Shane Bond's career stats

Bond had many injuries - abdominal tears, stress fractures, knee problems and back issues. But his never-say-die attitude helped him come back stronger every time.

After a severe back injury in 2004, he had to fix a titanium wire to his back and remodel his action.

After the treatment, Bond made a solid comeback wherein he picked up six wickets for 19 runs against India in the Videocon tri-series in 2005.

Injuries kept recurring and Bond decided to retire from International cricket in 2010. He also played in the third season of IPL for KKR.
