Lee bowled and batted well in the 2005 Ashes.Lee is comfortably worse than either. Was barely test standard for a large chunk of his career. Wasn’t worth a squirt of piss.

I didn't say that though did IIshant was far worse than Lee for a good 7 or 8 years. Regardless of how much you dislike him to say Ishant is better is absolutely absurd and completely incorrect
He batted well. His bowling was trash.Lee bowled and batted well in the 2005 Ashes.
Do you have any idea how terrible Lee was for all bar the first and last 18 months of his career? The bloke was ****ing horrendous.Ishant was far worse than Lee for a good 7 or 8 years. Regardless of how much you dislike him to say Ishant is better is absolutely absurd and completely incorrect
Ishant's era of uselessness was longer. Lee certainly used to frustrate me in tests, shouldn't have been given such a long rope at points, but did have some moments of genuine quality. People were citing Ishant's spell to Ponting as a reason to select him 7 or 8 years later.Do you have any idea how terrible Lee was for all bar the first and last 18 months of his career?

Ishant is a good comparison for Lee, actually. Both a decent start then crap for eons before a couple of decent years towards the end. If Sharma’s decent patch lasts a couple more years, why wouldn’t he be better than the fourth member of Bros?
Agree. One of the Aussie poster would definitely take it down that path. You have already started in fact.Lol this is going to turn into an attempt to make a Donald v Lee thread into something about Chokedulkar.
You have the perfect avatar for that mate :-)HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE!...
Donald gave me the same impression in relation to pollock, fanie etc.He was certainly a lot better ODI bowler than test bowler, but I think he’s over rated in that format too. I used to find Lee so frustrating in one dayers because he used to be pretty expensive, but then again it might be I was comparing him to the other blokes he bowled with like McGrath, so my expectations may have been too high.
I don't know why I thought Chris Martin hit 300 test wickets.Lee is the worst bowler to 300 test wickets and is an utter spud.
About 290 of Martin's test wickets were Philip Hughes.I don't know why I thought Chris Martin hit 300 test wickets.
Not that it would have mattered; Martin was truly world class and Lee was no match for him, obviously.
