Shane Edward Bond born 7 June 1975 in Christchurch, New Zealand was a New Zealand cricketer, described as "New Zealand's best fast bowler since Sir Richard HadleeHe has represented New Zealand in Test, ODI and Twenty20 International cricket as well as playing for Canterbury in New Zealand domestic cricket and Warwickshire in English domestic cricket. Bond is a right-arm fast bowler.
Bond's career was plagued with injuries, chiefly recurring stress fractures of the back. He had surgery in 2004 to try to prevent further injury but it was only partially successful. In recent years he has suffered back problems, knee injuries and an abdominal tear. These problems, in conjunction with a late start to his fully professional cricket career, have limited his appearances in both international and domestic cricket. Since his debut in the 2001/02 season, he only managed to appear in 18 Test matches for New Zealand. Bond retired from Test cricket in December 2009 at the age of 34
His international career also suffered a hiatus of 18 months,due to Bond's involvement with the Delhi Giants in, the 'rebel' Indian Cricket League during March 2008, which caused the New Zealand cricket board to terminate his central contract in January 2008.However, in June 2009 Bond severed ties with the rebel league and declared himself available to be selected for the national side once again.In January 2010, Bond was selected to play in the 3rd season of the Indian Premier League for the Kolkata Knight Riders. As of 13 May 2010 he has since retired from all forms of the game and is not planning to continue in the 4th season of Indian Premier League

Playing style
Bond was a fast bowler capable of regularly bowling at speeds in excess of 145 km/h. He was first recorded breaking the 150 km/h barrier in the 2001/02 season.In contrast to some other fully fast bowlers, Bond combines pace with control and accuracy, assets which have seen him find success in all forms of the game.
Limiting the statistics to players who have bowled at least 1000 balls, he holds the record for the best strike rate 27.5 in ODI' and has the third best average 19.32 In Tests, limiting the statistics to player who have bowled at least 2000 balls, his Test strike rate, 38.9 currently ranks fourth in the all-time lisand his average 22.39 currently sits at second amongst current players. Amongst current players who have bowled over 2000 balls in Tests, only Muttiah Muralitharan has a better average. Bond's Test and ODI bowling averages are superior to that of both Stuart Clark and Dale Steyn, who are currently the leading fast bowlers of Australia and South Africa respectively.
Bond usually bats quite far down the batting order, at number nine or later, but he is capable of slogging some quick runs towards the end of an innings.
Domestic career
Bond made his first-class debut for Canterbury on 20 January 1997, in a match against Central Districts.He was relatively old when he made his first-class debut, at 21 years and 7 months old, and for the first few years of his career he played relatively little first-class cricket, playing only 12 matches for Canterbury in his first three seasons. His bowling figures in his first three seasons were solid but unspectacular.Bond stopped playing cricket professionally for one year after he joined the New Zealand Police in November 1999, which left him no time to pursue his cricket career He returned to play several games for Canterbury in the 2000/01 season and had reasonable success despite his year off. was handed his first international opportunity early in the 2001/02 season, and from then, due to injuries and international commitments he was mainly unavailable to play for Canterbury, and only appeared in eight State Championshi ten State Shield game seven seasons.
He made a brief appearance in English county cricket in the 2002 season, representing Warwickshire in three County Championship games, finding moderate success with the ball. He has signed to return to England to play for Hampshire in the 2008 season.
In his Indian Cricket League career, Bond appeared in seven Twenty20 games for the Delhi Giants during the March/April 2008 version of the league, but had little success, only taking two wickets at 86.50.
International career
2001/02 tour of Australia
Bond's first chance at international level came early in the 2001/02 season, when, following an impressive display in a match for the New Zealand academy against the touring Australian academy, he received a call-up to the Test squad to tour Australia. His debut came in the Second Test at Hobart when he was chosen ahead of Chris Martin on account of his extra pace.He had a forgettable debut in a rain-affected match, taking one for 135 in Australia's only innings.He fared little better in the Third Test at Perth, taking two for 154 in the match, which ended in a draw Shortly thereafter, in the 2001–02 VB Series against Australia and South Africa, he earned a player-of-the-tournament award for taking 21 wickets in nine games.
2002 tour of the West Indies
After the tournament he suffered a foot injury, one of the many that would mar his career, but was back in action for New Zealand's 2002 tour of the West Indies. He was the side's top wicket taker in its first-ever series win in the Caribbean.
2003 World Cup
Bond continued to bowl well, again leading the New Zealand bowling averages at the 2003 World Cup.
Major injury woes
Shortly after the tournament he suffered a stress fracture in his back. While initially he planned to make a comeback in February 2004, he remained out of the side until August 2005. Return against India
Bond's remodelled bowling action proved no less lethal than its predecessor, however: in his second match back he took six for nineteen against India.
