James Pattinson out of action with an injury yet again!

Exciting young fast bowler James Pattinson has been ruled out of tomorrow’s third and decisive final of the CB Series at the Adelaide Oval. The 21-year-old tall pacer who just made a comeback into the Australian team after a foot injury has now been ruled out with a buttock injury. Pattinson had played only three games in the CB Series having made a comeback from his foot injury that had ruled him out after 2nd Test against India in early January.

It is learnt that James Pattinson had pulled off a glute injury in his buttock while diving in the outfield during the Second Final yesterday at the Adelaide Oval. Pattinson had a poor day in the second final going for 47 runs in 8 wicketless overs.

Pattinson is likely to be replaced with off-spinner Nathan Lyon or Ben Hilfenhaus. Australia now has four of its players injured including Pattinson. The others include Brett Lee who is recovering from a broken toe but still playing, David Warner with a sore groin and Skipper Michael Clarke who has been ruled out for atleast four weeks with a hamstring injury.
