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. Custom Liverpool Jerseys .

The opener is often tainted by first-game nerves, new players in unfamiliar positions, new schemes being tried out live for the first time.Once the second game is played, the extenuating circumstances are mostly gone and the true identity of a team starts to form.With that in mind, it seemed like a good time to check in on the teams in the Pac-12 to see if they have lived up to expectations through two weeks or fallen short.Take a look:---Arizona (1-1): The Wildcats had numerous questions heading into the season and still have plenty left after losing to BYU and rallying to beat FCS Grambling State at home. Arizonas defense, one of the biggest concerns, has been mostly solid, but the usually productive offense has had trouble getting started, unable to get much going until the second half of games, when the team is behind. A knee injury for quarterback Anu Solomon added to some of the offensive issues.Arizona State (2-0): The Sun Devils were criticized for their slow start against FCS Northern Arizona -- a game that turned into a rout -- and then quieted some of that talk with Saturdays 68-55 win over Texas Tech. Giving up 55 points at home is a concern, though, particularly since coach Todd Graham said blown coverages led directly to 28 points for the Red Raiders.California (1-1): An opening 51-31 win over Hawaii showcased the Bears offense at its best, but they struggled to run the ball on offense and to stop the run on defense in a 45-40 loss to San Diego State last week. It doesnt get any easier this week: Next up is No. 11 Texas before conference games start.Colorado (2-0): The Buffaloes have been a little better than expected after blowing out rival Colorado State and Idaho State in their first two games. Colorados upgraded defense will get a much bigger test this week against No. 4 Michigan in Ann Arbor.Oregon (2-0): The Ducks moved up to No. 22 in The Associated Press poll this week after beating Virginia in Eugene. Oregon has had trouble with second-half focus, allowing the Cavaliers and UC Davis to each score three second-half touchdowns to close the gap on games that were blowouts. A big test comes this week on the road against Nebraska.Oregon State (0-1): The Beavers have a smaller sample size after lasst weekends bye.dddddddddddd Oregon State got off to a good start in its opener, leading Minnesota after three quarters, but still needs work on finishing games after allowing the Gophers to score 13 points in the fourth for the win. The Beavers should have it relatively easy this week against Idaho State, but a game against Boise State follows before the Pac-12 season starts.Stanford (1-0): Like Oregon State, the seventh-ranked Cardinal are coming off a bye week. Stanford scraped past Kansas State and may still be sorting out its quarterback situation. Ryan Burns started the opener, but Kelly Chryst led the Cardinal quickly down the field on a scoring drive. Next up: A showdown with Southern California.UCLA (1-1): QB Josh Rosen shouldered the blame for the Bruins opening loss to Texas A&M, but was a big reason they outlasted UNLV last weekend. How the sophomore plays will be a big factor in whether UCLA can make a run at the Pac-12 South title, which starts after what could be a tough trip to BYU this week.USC (1-1): A season of optimism started with a thud in the form of a blowout loss to top-ranked Alabama. The Trojans gained a bit of confidence back with last weeks lopsided win over Utah State, but this weeks game against Stanford will be a better gauge as to whether theyve recovered from the opener.Utah (2-0): The defense, no surprise, has been strong through the first two games, wins over Southern Utah and BYU. The offense needs to take better care of the ball; the Utes beat the rival Cougars despite turning it over six times.Washington (2-0): The eighth-ranked Huskies have lived up to expectations, but opening games against Rutgers and Idaho werent exactly tough tests. This week should be another easy one for Washington with Portland State heading to Seattle, so the true nature of this team wont likely be known until conference starts a week later.Washington State (0-2): Coach Mike Leach says his team has the atmosphere of a JV softball game after Washington State opened with losses to FCS Eastern Washington and Boise State. The Cougars play Idaho this week and need to make up ground quickly if theyre going to match last years breakthrough season.
