Far too much verbage here on the 150 kph stuff - that had sod-all to do with anything. If he'd been bowling 150 kph Long-Hops he'd have been hammered just like he was in the 10-83-1 game.
The significant thing is that he swung the ball, the edges were taken (and caught) and the line and length was consistent throughout 10 overs.
We shall have to wait until it happens again before declaring "he's back" but without question this was a better spell than anything so far in the VB Series.
The fact that it was The WACA may have had a very small influece, and I certainly think it was a terrible decision by Ganguly to bat first, but the main thing was the ball swung and the accuracy was there.
Short may it continue.:!(

I certainly think Lee isn't anywhere near as good as he was when he started his career. Things just get worse and worse for him, and he hasn't really been in amazing form this series. The WACA is a totally different type of pitch to any pitch anywhere else in the world, and really favours fast bowlers. So let's wait and see what happens when he bowls on a pitch that doesn't help him so much.marc71178 said:I don't think he's back, mainly because I didn't think he was gone after that 1 poor match.
I am however mildly peeved at myself for taking Mr Lee out of my fantasy team and replacing him with Mr Nel (6-0-60-0)

On another note, I don't think Michael Clarke's going to get his Test debut in a hurry if he keeps this form up. After getting out for 2 against India, it brought his series record up to:
8 matches, 8 innings, 215 runs @ 26.87, S/R 88.09
30 overs, 0 maidens, 168 runs, 3 wickets @ 56.00, BB 1-14, S/R 60.0, Econ 5.60

OK, if we were to ban criticising players = no discussion forum.bretts no 1 fan said:
All Caps is considered shouting and not acceptable (see the Forum Rules), and criticism and discussion about players is, well, what the boards are for. If you cannot accept diversity of opinion then it isn't our fault.
Lee's Test average since 2001 speaks for itself as far as I'm concerned. I'd pick him in any ODI side of mine, but don't you think that your attraction to him might be slightly clouding your view?
