John Hastings

[Dexter]

Career is potentially over unless he discovers a reason why he constantly coughs up blood when bowling

Ouch. Hope he recovers.

 

[brandon]

Very sad if Big John can’t overcome this

 

[stephen cartwright]

What a shame. Best wishes to john and family

 

[Up the BR]

Hope he makes a full recovery

 

[The Voice Of Reason]

Good luck big lad

 

[hudson88]

Cracking bloke and a very good player. Hope he gets sorted and comes back firing

Totally agree. Became an adopted Mackem and a MLF when here.

Haway the Duke!

Love big john me like.

What an honour it was to watch his knock at Arundel, still can't believe he didn't get a hundred that day.

Speedy recovery big lad

Edit: Just read that piece now and wish I hadn't, heartbreaking stuff like

 

[The Red Telephone]

Good luck to the big man...always gave it his all for DCCC.

Doesn't get it with any other exercise, clearly something related to his breathing pattern when bowling.

Hope he sorts it out.

Yes but presumably He's been bowling for several years without the problem so clearly something has changed.

He said he's had it a while but getting worse

His power as a batsman was woefully underused whilst here. To the point of it being infuriating. Watching Muchall & Callum McLeod paddle it around for 46 overs then send JH in with 2 dozen balls left.

Probably the biggest hitter i’ve ever seen play for Durham, (is that “fair ?)

Stokes, Blackwell?

Stokes, Blackwell?

Yep, don’t disagree they could smash it but I’d say Hastings had more power than them.

 

[stephen cartwright]

Some of the best batting I’ve seen in a t20 was a hundred plus partnership by Hastings and Macleod v Yorkshire iirc

Huge sixes all around the ground that night

 

[David Hosselhaff]

All the best, Big John

 

[The Truth]

How bizarre that only bowling sets it off? Hope he gets well soon and can carry on his career
