About Shane Bond
Fast, furious and dashing, Shane Bond preyed on batsmen much like how James Bond did his enemies. In stark contrast to James' ultra-long run, Shane's career though action-packed was cut short by the recurrence of injuries. Had the injuries been kept at bay, the Kiwi special agent would have become one of the greatest fast bowlers in the history of cricket.
Despite landing on the surgeon's table more often than not, Bond refused to compromise on pace, a ploy, which raised as many eyebrows as it did praise. However, amid all the mishaps Bond's guts and firepower stood out.
