I made that statement on the basis of an article that i read a few days, that said how Liz' was frustrated of sitting at home, while Lee was always on the move and how she felt she has lost her identity being a WAG and how she was finding it hard to cope with parenthood, with her being all on her own to raise their child, i know all these are valid points, but she always knew what she was getting into before she got married to Lee.

First off let's see a link.
Second saying stuff like 'i mean Liz' just seems to be a woman with ego problems, that her husband is so famous and everything and she is a nobody, as mentioned already she knew what was she getting into.' when we have virtually ZERO information on what went on behind closed doors is unfair to say the least.

Brett and Liz Lee split due to her struggle to be a mum, dutiful WAG
From ANI
Melbourne, Aug 21: Australian fast bowler Brett Lee has pulled out of this month's one-day series against Bangladesh because his marriage had been "on the rocks" for at least six months as his bride Liz Kemp struggled to combine life as a young mum with playing the role of dutiful WAG.
Lee, 31, and podiatrist wife Liz Kemp, 31, have separated after just two years together.
The Daily Telegraph quoted sources close to the couple as saying that Kemp wasn't happy with her husband putting his international cricket career ahead of the family.
Kemp went from having her own successful career as a Double Bay podiatrist to joining the Wives and Girlfriends brigade, which consisted of either going on tour and sitting in the shadows or staying at home and missing her husband.
The source said Kemp lost her own sense of identity after quitting her job to "get married and have babies", being left to raise son Preston Charles while Lee travelled the world.
Lee went on tour shortly after the birth of his son Preston in 2006, missing key baby milestones like the first steps and leaving the new mum home alone.
While there is no question Lee was anything other than a devoted gushing father, proudly showing everyone pictures and video of his son, the couple really struggled with the transition into parenthood and the demands of his cricketing and Bollywood careers.
The pair was married in a lavish ceremony at the country house of broadcaster Alan Jones at Fitzroy Falls, near Bowral, NSW, in June 2006.
Lee's immediate cricketing future is now in doubt.
Once the Bangladesh series is over, the pin-up quick will need to decide whether he mentally can cope with being on the road for the Champions Trophy tournament and then four gruelling Tests in India.

This is that article, but tbh it was definitely wrong of me to write such harsh words about Liz, i agree with Smithy, sometimes i can really be an idiot.

As much as I like/rate Henriquez, he needs to get some runs on the board in state cricket first.

I guess I don't know much about Australian youngsters, but Henriques doesn't exactly seem to have a very good OD record domestically. Has he just been injured lots?
Also, the AIS are going to play Australia tomorrow. That should be really interesting.

Has barely played any games and was injured most of last season.
They could call up watson and hopes but thats a bit of a waste,rather them play IPL,for qld or one dayers for australia.
Henriques has been on fire and so has doropoulos for the AIS this year so either/both could be inspiring choices,just as peter forrest is an inspired choice for the aussie A side.
The only other options i can think of are andrew mcdonald maybe,or luke butterworth,but he has been sacked for the tassie one day side due to inconsistency,divin has taken hhis place.

I'm going to blame you (and it won't be pretty) if he's injured.

Good numbers from Johnson there.
Hope he's not doing a Boon on the 85 Ashes tour - justifying selection by performing in warm ups then missing out in the big games. It'll be interesting to see how he shapes up in his action after a rest and (hopefully) some work with Cooley et al.
