Andy McKay, the fast bowling physio
New Zealand fast bowler Andy McKay has been a qualified physiotherapist since he was 22. On the surface it seems to be an advantage because he knows his body and its limits. But it can also be something of a problem, as Partha Bhaduri explains in the Times of India.
There are two Andy McKays. One is that rare breed, a late-blooming fast bowler who has impressed the Kiwi set-up with his raw pace following Shane Bond’s exit. The other is a more experienced physiotherapist, and the two are forever at odds waging the never-ending battle between good pain and bad pain. It’s a mental conflict many injury-ridden pacers would gladly foment.
