WATCH: County leg-spinner presents - the weirdest bowling run-up ever

James Pattinson has become the third Australian, after Shane Watson and Pat Cummins, to break down with an injury this summer.
Pattinson appears to have a side strain of some sort. Earlier this year, he broke down with a foot injury against India during the Sydney test.
Australia may have performed well over the last 12 months, but players are constantly breaking down with injuries.
Before the start of the Australian summer last year, Mitchell Johnson (foot), Pat Cummins (foot), Shane Watson (Hamstring/calf), Ryan Harris (back) and Doug Bollinger (hamstring) were all injured.
Shane Watson, Pat Cummins and Ryan Harris have missed the start of this summer as well, and now James Pattinson could join them on the sidelines.
Australia played a lot of limited overs matches before the start of this summer, and the major workload has told on players like Watson, Cummins and Pattinson.
Australia’s rotation policy and medical staff will now come under serious scrutiny. However, John Inverarity has made it clear that the Aussies are looking to rotate and rest bowlers during the Sri Lankan test series come December 14th.
This will give players like Mitchell Johnson, Ryan Harris and even Doug Bollinger a chance to come back into the side.
Australia will almost certainly look to rest Peter Siddle at some stage in the series, considering the workload he is shouldering this summer.
