It has been quoted extensively that Lee will be used in short spells between 4 & 6 overs becuase it is felt that he is not as effective and gets tired if he bowls longer spells. Ponting, Buchannon et al have all said as much.chaminda_00 said:Lee has a lot more fitness then Shoiab so he will bowl more then 4 or 5 over spells. But they will go for Kaspra, Gillespie, McGarth and Warne. If they were going to drop Kaspra or Gillespie it would have been in NZ. Lee is not bowling any better and Gillespie and Kaspra are side bowling crap.
Well i think he will be wasted if only used in short spells, by the time he creates pressure he will be taken off.Mister Wright said:It has been quoted extensively that Lee will be used in short spells between 4 & 6 overs becuase it is felt that he is not as effective and gets tired if he bowls longer spells.

I think the English would have targeted Kaspra if he played more in the ODIs and if he plays in the Test they will target him.Slow Love™ said:This poll would probably have been better titled "Who do you think SHOULD take the field at Lords?".
As it stands, I think McGrath, Lee, Gillespie and Warne will play (although I'm not as absolutely certain that Lee will take the field as some CW posters).
I would probably like to have seen McGrath, Lee, Kasper and Warne though. It's bothered me how much the English batsmen have gone after Gillespie, even if his final performance was much better (though still far from his best, IMO). But if Dizzy plays quite well against Leicestershire, I'd be reasonably happy with him playing (so long as he outperforms Kasprowicz, that is). His form concerns me a lot more than Kasper's does on the tour so far, though.
They would be insane if they used him in anything longer than a 6 over spell, even that will be too much. So many times he has been bowled in extended spells to "keep the pressure on" and has just been punished as the spell goes on. He is only really effective in his first 3 or 4 overs, then the speed drops and tiredness sets in and he starts getting wayward.chaminda_00 said:Well i think he will be wasted if only used in short spells, by the time he creates pressure he will be taken off.
