Dale Steyn has been ruled out of South Africas Test series in Australia and could face up to six months out of the game with a fractured right shoulder. He did damage to the shoulder, which he had broken last season, while bowling on the second morning of the first Test in Perth.I felt this pop or like a thud in my shoulder. There was a lot of pain, Steyn told Channel Nine. I had to go off the field and have an MRI. I did something very similar against England in December in a similar area but it wasnt as bad. That was a stress reaction, which is like a very hairline little crack. This time its more like a fracture. Its kind of broken the whole bone. I will probably have surgery and a plate in there. So were probably looking at a minimum of six months before Im up and going again.The last time took about three months and I was up and running and ready to play. As the scheduling goes, theres a lot of cricket to be played and people want you to play. I didnt have the full time to recover. I have been dealing with this for quite some time and I was wanting to rush and get to the Twenty20 World Cup, I wanted to go to the IPL. I wanted to play. This time I have to take the time to let it heal properly.Steyn will return to South Africa after the WACA Test to see a shoulder specialist and it is highly likely according to South African team manager Mohammed Moosajee, who is also a medical doctor, that he will require surgery. Steyn is five wickets away from overtaking Shaun Pollock as South Africas leading Test wicket-taker.He is extremely disappointed at the moment but knowing Dale, he will come back stronger, Moosajee said. We need to to give him the best opportunity to recover because South Africa and the world wants to see Dale Steyn play again.Steyn complained of discomfort in the first session and went down after delivering the fourth ball in his 13th over - his seventh of the day - after picking up the first wicket of the morning. He heard something thud or pop when it happened, Moosajee said.Steyn remained on his haunches in his followthrough and held his right shoulder while grimacing in pain. Keshav Maharaj and Hashim Amla were the first of his team-mates to arrive at his side before physiotherapist Brandon Jackson walked him off the field, 42 minutes before lunch. He was taken to the hospital where scans revealed the fracture. He returned to the ground and watched his team-mates bowl Australia out but will not take the field at all and will only bat if absolutely necessary depending on the state of the game.The cause of Steyns injury is not entirely known except that it may have stemmed from trauma, such as a motor-vehicle accident, and was not caused by action on a cricket field. Injuries of his nature are so rare that Moosajee said there was only one documented case of it affecting a cricketer in the literature. The bowler, a 27-year-old from Staffordshire, was not named in a report Moosajee had with him but required the lengthy recovery time.Steyn has already spent several months tending to this injury. He broke the shoulder late last year and broke down in the Boxing Day Test against England and was ruled out of the rest of that series, including the limited-overs matches.Steyn had returned from the injury at the World T20 in March, when he played in two of South Africas four matches. He was then left out of the Caribbean triangular series in June - officially rested but unofficially dropped - and allowed to play in the NatWest T20 Blast to regain form. He returned for South Africas Tests against New Zealand and seemed back to his best with eight wickets in the Centurion win. He also played in four of the five ODIs against Australia and was occasionally seen holding the shoulder but did not need treatment at any stage.Before this series against Australia, Faf du Plessis stressed the importance of Steyn staying fit for the thee Tests because of his role in leading South Africas attack. Now, that responsibility will fall to someone else, most likely Vernon Philander and Morne Morkel, but South Africa may consider flying in a replacement.Morkel is not playing this Test after concerns over his match readiness following two months on the sidelines with a back injury. He has only played one first-class match since making his return but has also bowled in the warm-up matches on this tour. Morne is progressing quite nicely since he injured his back. During the build up to this week he looked pretty good. It looks like he will be available for selection for the second Test, Moosajee said.Should Morkel not be 100% ready, South Africa have a fifth specialist seamer in Kyle Abbott. Others who could come into contention are Hardus Viljoen, who debuted against England last summer and is currently second on the first-class competition wicket chart with 21 scalps at 23.04, or Marchant de Lange, who has not played a Test since 2012 and is fourth on the list. Chris Morris and Wayne Parnell are also both injured. Andre Dillard Eagles Jersey .

Seth Joyner Eagles Jersey . -- Jimmy Walkers first PGA Tour trophy came with a special gift tucked inside.TSN.cas MMA staff, including John Pollock - TSN Radio 1050 (@iamjohnpollock), James Lynch - TSN.ca (@lynchonsports), and Jordan Cieciwa - TSN Radio 1290 (@FitCityJordan), take a look at some of the hottest issues in the world of mixed martial arts. 1) With Renan Barao injured, are you satisfied with addition of Roy Nelson for UFC 161 in Winnipeg? Lynch: Yes and honestly I dont understand the critics who are complaining about the fight being scrapped altogether. Rashad Evans vs. Dan Henderson is a very entertaining main event, especially when you consider both fighters are coming off losses and should be extremely motivated to earn a victory. On top of that, Eddie Wineland rightfully earned his title shot against Barao, having him fight someone like Urijah Faber (who was rumored to fight him) is completely unfair. “Big Country” certainly brings some intrigue to the card being quite the character and has exciting style of fighting. His opponent Stipe Miocic is coming off a loss to Stefan Struve while Nelson has won three straight. This is a considerable mismatch in my opinion and fans should be treated to one of Nelsons patented knockouts. Pollock: When the interim bantamweight title was taken off the card I noted that this might be the first time a UFC event has lost their main event and it will have no impact on the business the card will produce. We can all look at the talents of Barao and Wineland but it was a hard sell of a main event with the real main event on the show being Henderson vs. Evans because of their name value and that is the fight selling the card in my opinion. Nelsons addition to the card is a good main card addition, but Nelson has no proven track record of drawing because he has never been put in that role to sell a pay-per-view. The fight with Miocic seems like a high risk, low reward scenario for Nelson as its not a top ten heavyweight that brings him that much closer to a heavyweight title fight and a loss really sets him back. The UFC 161 card isnt blowing me away by way of anticipation but that is not to say it couldnt be an entertaining card. JC: Are you kidding me? Nelson makes a great card better and he is saving UFC 161. The two main events here in Winnipeg have "the potential" for greatness. However, all fighters involved have a tendency to not show up. Nelson always brings a fight. The only thing about this fight is the potential for Nelson to hinder his climb back to the top. Miocic isnt a top opponent, but he is dangerous. If he scores a win it would be devastating to Nelson, and an absolutely huge boost for Miocic. Yes, this fight announcement made my day. Welcome to Winnipeg UFC, I am excited again for this card. 2) Do Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar deserve their respective spots in the UFC Hall Of Fame? Lynch: Griffin absolutely does and Bonnar doesnt. The Ultimate Fighter winner Griffin racked up a decent 9-5 record in the UFC, with his most impressive win being an upset over Mauricio Shogun Rua at UFC 76. At UFC 86 he earned the UFC light heavyweight title in a closely contested contest against Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and for that alone he deserves a spot in the hall. Bonnar meanwhile finished his career with an 8-7 UFC record and never came close to earning light heavyweight gold. What stands out for me though is Bonnar was busted twice for using PEDs, once in his second fight with Griffin at UFC 62, then again in his last fight against Anderson Silva at UFC 153. I understand the Griffin-Bonnar fight at the inaugural Ultimate Fighter finale was a game changer for the sport, which has brought in a whole new audience, but if Bonnar gets in, it sets a bad precedence that there is a steroid user in the Hall of Fame. Pollock: This is all contingent on what you view the UFC Hall of Fame to be and if you are viewing it in the traditional sense of a formal Hall of Fame with various criteria including voting, well thats simply not what the UFC Hall of Fame is.dddddddddddd Its an acknowledgement of those that the company have deemed worthy of recognition and helped the company grow. The two will always be tied to their April 2005 TUF Finale bout, which has grown in legend with each passing year to the extremes of people feeling the UFC wouldnt have lasted without that fight. Standing on their own, I dont even feel there is an argument to be made regarding Bonnar as a Hall of Fame candidate, this guy was a marginal fighter at best. Bonnar had entertaining fights but the credibility of a Hall of Fame is just as much created on who is not in the Hall as much as who is voted in. Griffin gets the nod in a “UFC” Hall of Fame but I feel he would face much more scrutiny in a real MMA Hall of Fame with voting and debate preceding induction. JC: Griffin vs. Bonnar started this whole UFC thing with an all-time top fight, Roots of Fight Clothing even made a clothing line dedicated to the event. With that said, Bonnar has since tested positive twice for PEDs, and has lost a lot of fights he shouldnt have. Thats not Hall of Fame material, but it is enough to be remembered by fans as the other guy in the Griffin fight. Griffin on the other hand has had an excellent career. His only major embarrassment was being TKOd by Anderson Silva while he was back peddling. I think by his book alone, Griffin should get a place in the Hall of Fame. Forrest should be in, Bonnar needs to redeem himself, but at the moment doesnt get the nod. 3) With his win at UFC 160, is Canadian T.J. Grant a legitimate threat to champion Benson Henderson? Lynch: Yes and I wouldnt be surprised if the Canadian was able to finish the current lightweight champion. At UFC 160, I was shocked that Grant dominated Gray Maynard the way he did and even though I did pick him to win, I thought it would be in the form a close decision. Since his drop to lightweight, the Nova Scotia native is currently undefeated (riding a five-fight win streak) and has finished his last three of his last five opponents. With his much improved standup and being a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, the 29-year old is comfortable anywhere the fight goes. Whats also interesting about a matchup with “Smooth” is this will be the first time the current 155-pound torchbearer will be the smaller fighter when he steps inside the cage. Grant has a two-inch height and reach advantage, and that could pose problems for the 29-year old champion. Either way its finally nice to see a new contender established in the lightweight division. Pollock: I dont think anyone looks at a Benson Henderson fight as a slam dunk guarantee and Grants stoppage of Maynard will be played over and over on the countdown special to remind people that Grant is a threat. Both of these fighters represent a key aspect that is presently working as neither is a top practitioner of one discipline, but rather a jack of all trades that can transition when necessary. Grants last three victories over Evan Dunham, Matt Wiman and Maynard represent some very tough lightweights that are battle tested and Grant passed each with flying colours. In a nutshell he is a very legitimate threat and I can very excited to see this fight later in the year. JC: A legitimate shot, absolutely. All fighters at the UFC level have a shot. Grant proved he has the skill with a dominant victory over Maynard to call for a legitimate shot at the title. Henderson is very human, and his game has holes. He finds a way to win when he needs to. With Grant, he can put the kind of pressure on that may not let Henderson recover in a tight spot. Next year this time, we will be talking about Grants shot at the title. Agree or Disagree?
