Mate I watched the whole 2005 Ashes and Lee was completely garbage the whole time. Bouncer- Yorker the whole time. Shouldn't have been on tour given Bichel was rotting in the shield.

Didn't they play Shaun Tait for a game too because of a few injuries and he was even worse?

The 434 game was a stand alone freak game. These days you'll have 30+ ODI games with 350+ scores a year. This world cup will have multiple 400+ games, maybe even a 500 vs a minnow
Is that against all those fast bowlers and leg spinners?

Yes, and it's a travesty Bichel wasn't in the squad. I mean what use is bringing a swing bowler to England anyway? They never pick up wickets.

Nope he wasn't. It's this Cow here that is the one who copped a ban for 9 months or so

EDIT: Six months it was

Lee could've been far better if handled the right way. Guy lacked absolutely nothing, had an action as grooved and rhythmic as Donald, certainly was 5-10 clicks faster than even prime-Donald, could move the ball prodigiously. If I remember right, Donald was fairly erratic until '93 or so too, but all those years honing his craft on the first class scene eventually paid off.
Hey mate. I'm not sure how much of Brett Lee you have watched but he was the type of bowler that decent batsmen (or batters) loved to face. He was generally either pitching too short or too full and because of that he went for regular boundaries. Tail enders he feasted on mainly.
Mitchell was a far more intimidating bowler even though his KPH ave wasn't as high.
I would also take "White Lightning" over Lee every day of the week.

Yeah everything Arachno said could also be said of Sami
