I didn't realise what a good bowler this guy is. England fans might be in for a shock if they think that they are up against an ageing seam attack of just McGrath and Gillespie. Kaspo looks every bit as dangerous (notwithstanding Pakistan's batting incompetence). If anything Warne looks like a bowler who might be a bit rusty, though I wouldn't bet on that lasting either.

Caper's an under rated bowler Shaka, last 12 months I reckon he's bowled just as well as anyone in world cricket, he's throughly deserved his place in the team. He's certainly not one to be underestimated, Pakistan should have learnt their lesson by now.

Kasprowicz has played a lot of county cricket for Essex and Glamorgan in the UK though Shaka. By all accounts, he's played very well when he's been in the UK so I'm sure that the England players will be more than aware of his ability and how he plays. They will certainly have seen a lot more of him than McGrath or Gillespie who have played little or no county cricket. I'm not saying that he won't do well in England, only that he might not do as well as he has recently as the England team will have significantly more knowledge and awareness of his action and style than players in any other country.

Kaspa played a couple seasons at county level early in his career(essex i think) which seemed to suit him. I for one dont doubt his ability and he might well end up the highest aussie wicket taker regardless of who wins the ashes. I much rather england face brett lee than him.

On a Perth-like pitch, i'd like to see a four-pronged attack including Lee. It would be much like the Windies attack in the 80's, and they will be devastating.
