Most handsome cricketers XI of all time

#11 Shane Bond

The former Kiwi speedster

The former Kiwi speedster was a nightmare to most batsmen during his prime and made the ball talk with his brisk pace and swing. Though injuries brought a premature end to his international career, Bond was the best Kiwi fast bowler in the post-Hadlee era. He was also one of the most hunky and stylish cricketers during his time and was a very popular figure among fans.

At times it seemed injuries would get the better of his career and the most serious of them was the back problem he sustained in 2003 that led to his isolation from cricket for two years after an operation in which he was fused with titanium wire.

There were also various other issues with knees, feet and many other parts of his body but Bond’s urge to play could never be questioned. His unwillingness to reduce his pace and take things easier might have prevented him from playing a couple of more years at the highest level.
