Jesse Ryder

New Zealand cricket's bad-boy, Jesse Ryder lies critically injured in intensive care in Christchurch Hospital. Ryder had been drinking with his Wellington Firebirds team-mates after being beaten by the Canterbury Wizards in the national one day  competition yesterday. He had been attacked by four assailants who kicked and beat him outside a Christchurch bar late last night.

Jesse Ryder has had off-field drinking and behavioural problems for a number of years now. He has been out of the NZ cricket teams for a year now trying to clean up his act. But it is believed that his drinking had not led to his attack. He may well have been recognised by his assailants. His injuries include a fractured skull and collapsed lung.
