I never said that Lee bowled brilliantly in the Ashes, or anything of the sort. What I said was that he bowled well at times, and he did, including some key spells which had a big impact on a couple of games, and that he as a better selection than Kasprowicz for the test side, dating back to the tour of New Zealand, and I think results since bear that out pretty well.Mister Wright said:I was just in utter shock. I could not believe you would come out with such comments after you defended him to the ends of the earth when I was critisising his performances during the Ashes series (which was justiftied).
Overally however his performance in the Ashes was average at best, and he lacked the consistency necessary to take pressure off Warne, as Warne basically went into every innings with the burden of having to take all the wickets on him.
