Jesse Ryder: 'I'm lucky not to be dead'

As the blackness receded and Jesse Ryder regained consciousness after 56 hours in an induced coma, one of his first thoughts was, "Oh, God, not another issue!"
Issues and Ryder have gone hand in hand since the burly batsman burst on to the New Zealand cricket scene in 2008.
Late-night drinking, a hand slashed when he stuck it through a toilet window, more late-night drinking, verbally abusing team manager Dave Currie... no wonder he thought he was in trouble again.
But this time the next "issue" - inadvertently taking a banned drug - was still some time away. Before that, he had a bigger struggle on his hands, namely fighting for his life.
In late March, Ryder was rushed to intensive care with a suspected fractured skull and a serious lung injury after being attacked in the early hours of the morning outside a Christchurch bar.
He spent 56 hours in an induced coma while fans, friends and strangers held candlelight vigils as word spread that one of the country's most talented and polarising sportsmen was in a precarious state.
Ryder, seven months on and by his own admission not a "deep and meaningful" person, realises how lucky he is to be alive.
"After being told what happened, you start thinking a bit. I mean, we've all heard the stories of guys hitting their heads and dying after being punched and falling to the ground," he said.
"I look back and think I am lucky not to be dead."

David Warner punished after missing cricket game to go to the races

The Australia batsman David Warner has been handed a one-match suspended sentence from Cricket New South Wales after missing a grade match to go to the races.
Warner was scheduled to line up for Randwick Petersham on the second day of their two-day match against Northern Districts, but instead spent the day at Royal Randwick racecourse for Epsom Day. All New South Wales players are required to play for their grade clubs when available and fully fit.
The sanction continues a miserable year for Warner, who found himself embroiled in controversy on Australia's summer tour of England. The 26-year-old was suspended from Australia's two tour matches that preceded The Ashes series, as well as a Champions Trophy clash, for punching the England batsman Joe Root in a night club incident.
The suspension deprived Warner of any chance of getting much-needed batting practice ahead of The Ashes which led to him also sitting out the first two Tests against England. When Warner finally won his spot back, he could manage only 138 runs at an average of 23 in the final three Ashes battles.
Warner's woes did not stop there, though, as the 26-year-old was dropped from Australia's one-day squad for the five-match series against England in September.
Australia's coach, Darren Lehmann, cited Warner's lack of form in the 50-over arena as the reason for his omission and Lehmann urged the fiery opener to head back to state level and make enough runs to be considered again. But Warner's ambitions for a recall have hit a serious snag with scores of only four and zero next to his name from his first two outings with the Blues in the Ryobi Cup so far.
