Between WI 05 to WI 08 before his recent woes starter in India, Lee certainly wasn't one-dimensional.Lee's to one dimensional as a bowler, always has been. When the pace isn't there and he isn't bowling it in the right place, he barely has any weapons. That is the reason his average is over 30.
Gotta feel for the Aussies having to bowl to Paul Harris, possibly the most annoying tail-ender of all time. He stays on the back foot permanently so he doesn't get out to many bouncers. Most clonk off his wooden head and go for four leg-byes. If you pitch it up he'll hang the bat at everything, usually missing because he's so far back on his stumps. When you finally find the edge it'll invariably die before the slips cordon because he plays with baby-soft hands, probably going for four to third man. If the ball goes leg-side he'll try to flick it and miss, with the ball deflecting off his pads for four leg-byes. If there's one man who can drive Brett Lee to early retirement it's this man.
Extrapolate please?The last 3 pages of this thread have been so ridiculously painful. Get a clue, seriously.
I'd rather not, thanks.Extrapolate please?
Awwww come on! Don't be like that!I'd rather not, thanks.
Awta, hating it.The last 3 pages of this thread have been so ridiculously painful. Get a clue, seriously.
The problem is he isn't bowling that badly either, in the past his problem was he didn't used bowl on the good length too often, he in general either used to bowl full or short, but that's not the problem he is having at present, his problem is he isn't moving the ball and he seems to striving for that extra yard of pace clear from the number of front-foot no-balls he bowled today, so imo there is nothing majorly wrong with Lee, there are a few adjustments he should make and the wickets too would follow.what is with brett lee, looks like all of a sudden he is back to his former average self?
He bowled terribly today.The problem is he isn't bowling that badly either
Sheesh. $26?! How dare they!?!?With regards to crowds, surely this is the boot up the arse CA and the various grounds need to lower ticket prices. I would love to go to all five days at the WACA, but absolutely not going to pay $26 a day (as a concession for ****'s sake) to sit on the hill. They are ridiculous prices and frankly the deserve the **** crowd they have today.
Theres nothing worse than seeing two poor bowlers take wickets. A spinner who doesnt turn the ball and a bowler that barely bowls on the stumps.
Indeed. I didn't think he bowled all that badly in the first Test - in fact a couple of his spells were really good - but he was nothing short of dreadful today.He bowled terribly today.
Yeah but there's less seats at English grounds (on average) and ****loads more people, higher demand for higher prices.Sheesh. $26?! How dare they!?!?
Seriously, you should try being an English cricket fan. 4th day at The Oval in 2007 set me back £50.
All true, but none of those factors result in less of a hit in my pocket. It just makes Aussies whinging about paying (what seems to me) a pittance seem to come straight from the "my diamond shoes are too tight" school of moaning.Yeah but there's less seats at English grounds (on average) and ****loads more people, higher demand for higher prices.
