They didn't axe him he signed with IPL believing he would still be eligible for NZ then the ICC (read BCCI) stepped in and banned all ICL-contracted players from international cricket.

Bond is the 2nd greatest fast bowler i have ever watched....first being wasim akram off course!
but this guy was great for the game, its a shame he cant plan international cricket anymore....ICL has robbed us of some fantastic players!! and its high time the ICC or BCCI reach an agreement with ICL and stop destroying cricket.

I agree; Bond is a "brialliant" bowler.

Shane Bond is a terrific bowler. It's a tragedy New Zealand axed him when they did. He still had so much to give.

Shane Bond loves taking 5 wicket hauls only against Australia. He has 5 wickets thrice against them. Superb bowler Shane Bond
