The Aussie seamer who coughs up blood when he bowls
John Hastings had played for Australia in all three forms of the game before retiring from first-class and one-day cricket last year.
Now 32, he had set his sights on the global Twenty20 circuit as a final payday before hanging up his boots.
But, those plans have had to be put on hold due to a health problem that recurs when he bowls.
Put simply, whenever Hastings charges into the crease, he coughs up blood.
He's been speaking to Stumped presenter Alison Mitchell.
