May I ask what your point is. I hope that you are not insulting Flintoff by comparing him to Lee. I think that Lee's performance was equally as pathetic as Harmison but the difference here is that Lee is on form while Harmison is not. I must admit that I have never rated Lee very highly. Lee being a strike bowler is IMO rubbish. Lets look at his career. He has played 55 matches and has only taken 7 five wicket hauls, while a "real" fast strike bowler like Akhtar has 12 in 42 games. Lee is overated and I would drop him for a guy like Johnson. Johnson is a left hander, and if you want variation, there it is.

Lee does not even clean up the tail. He is useless.
