Let's hope these people show up in this tour thread.Josh said:
I'm far from his biggest fan, but I know he deserves his place in the Australian ODI team, and those that think he doesn't now have egg on their face. Especially those that claim Kaspa is the far superior ODI bowler (once again, that's not taking anything away from Kaspa, rather displaying how good Lee is in the ODI form).

Anyone who can bowl at his pace (and it's not easy) would be a shoe-in in most other sides. As much as I find his post-wicket antics stubbie-thru-the-TV offensive he still should be bowling in tests.Jono said:Let's hope these people show up in this tour thread.

That was a clean performance from Australia. At least one batsman scored a hundred, there was a century patnership, bowlers shared around the wickets and were cheap, and then by the end they'd smashed 'em.
Im starting to doubt that a batting line will ever be able to chase over 300 against McGrath, Lee and co. It seems that whenever the Aussie batsman make it over that mark, thats it, game over.

My feelings as well. He'll get a bucketload of wickets against Bangladesh.social said:I have no argument with people who say that he doesnt deserve to replace Kaspa in the test team.
I will always argue (till im blue in the face obviously) with those that say he "rubbish" and incapable of success at test level.

Tests are definitely a different story. At the moment Lee doesn't warrant a place in the side with Kaspa playing brilliantly, but I agree he's not 'rubbish' (the English love that term) at Tests, but his bowling quality has severely dropped from what it was when he first began his career. Maybe he can rectify that? Who knows, but until Kaspa (or whomever) drops their performance he really shouldn't play a test.social said:I have no argument with people who say that he doesnt deserve to replace Kaspa in the test team.

His place in the ODI team is unquestionable as far as I'm concerned. I still feel McGrath (obviously) and Gillespie are overall better bowlers, but Lee deserves his place over Kaspa at the moment. Lee can have shockers, but at the moment he's playing brilliantly.
What is up with all the Australians who come on this site? Most say kasprowich is a better bowler than Lee, well in some cases I do agree. But the thing that gets me is that everyone who has said that is a Queenslander, yeah go for your own statesman. Your just as bad as the selectors who picked Hopes (mostly queensland selectors). LMAO, Hopes over McGill???? Kasprowicz is alot more tidier than Lee but in a test match who cares??? If Lee can take 1.5 more wickets per Innings then I say dump Kasper. And by the way Lee does average about 1.5 wickts more per Innings but about 1 more run average per over than Kasprowicz. Lee makes the better balanced attacker, we got McGrath and Gillespie to keep it tight and Lee to thunder them down the pitch to just take his wickets. Those three combine better then McGrath, Gillespie and Kaspro. In both formats of the game.

Lee performed badly, hence Bichel then Kaspa got the nod and have subsequently done nothing wrong.eastley said:
Lee is now learning the true meaning of "never give a sucka an even break."
I believe he is bowling better than ever but will have to wait his turn.
