Three better bowlers in front of him that are enjoying continual success and compliment each other. If they dump Dizzy for Lee, i doubt McGrath and Kaspa will appreciate having to make up for him when he gets tired after 5 overs and starts getting pasted all over the park. He makes a handy 12th man though - good fielder.

Talking

Do you mean he is about to become a victim of Spontaneous human conbustion. Love this stuff from Aussies...

Like many English guys I would love to see Lee play for two reasons:-

1. It would mean that he has taken the place of Kaspo, McGrath or Gilly, all of whom are better bowlers
2. The English Batsmen love the ball coming on at a good pace, it make's it easier to cream to the boundary (8 Tests, 22 Wickets at 46.90 against England)

So I say bring him on!!

Yup ff,
On his day, and on the right pitch, Lee can be devastating, but he is erratic in his line and length at times, well most of the time really.
I hope Australia play him, it will be the same as having an extra batter for England, and will tire the other better Aussie bowler out, having to bowl more overs.

It seems that Mark Waugh has the same blind faith as you do, Acker

I can honestly see him getting carted around the parks. I'm not saying he will for definite, but county cricket is a batsmans game and this guy leaks runs.
