Hogg, Lee Recalled
Thursday, January 15 2004
Two key figures in Australia's World Cup 2003 campaign have been recalled for the VB Series match in Hobart tomorrow.
Brett Lee will play his first match of the VB Series this summer and his first outing since his woeful Sydney Test earlier this month.
In the past week, he impressively flew Dennis Lillee from Perth to Sydney out of his own pocket in an attempt to help regain the form and pace that made him a threat to batsmen world-wide.
Brad Hogg's recall, meanwhile, was less expected, with the spinner being out-of-favour since the West Indies tour.
The match against Zimbabwe symbolises a lifeline for the former postman.
Ian Harvey and Jason Gillespie, two key figures thus far in the series, have been rested.
The starting XI is:
