lolz. Yeah, maybe.Obsessed.
Starc only bowled half an over of ordinary stuff, it was way too early to compare him to Bird I thought.

Well playedCan you imagine if Bird bowled those deliveries....
It doesn't reflect well on either that they both look better when the other is bowling.lolz. Yeah, maybe.

He's surely better than Lee but the selectors adored Lee so not sure if he actually would have.Harris such a quality bowler. Would he have got in ahead of Gillespie or Lee?
Lee was better than Harris no matter which way you look at it IMO. Harris has only been anything even resembling a Test standard bowler for a really short portion of his career and his body can't really handle what he has to put it through to get there. Lee for all his faults was certainly a Test standard bowler for a very long time, and on top of that I actually think he was actually every bit as good as Harris is now for a season or two towards the end of his career anyway.He's surely better than Lee but the selectors adored Lee so not sure if he actually would have.
Yeah I agree, I just didn't really interpret the question that way. Not accounting for injuries, the Harris of right now is a better test bowler than Lee was for a good 80% of his career.Lee was better than Harris no matter which way you look at it IMO.

Harris shouldn't get rated higher because he protected his average by being too crap to make the side earlier on.
Yeah true. Its a weird one really. I don't rate either of them that highly whereas many people on here seem to prefer one.It doesn't reflect well on either that they both look better when the other is bowling.
The Harris of right now is a better Test bowler than Harris was for a good 80% of his career too though. But yeah, there's no doubt that the current version of Harris would've improved a lot of recent past Australian side, even a lot of excellent recent past sides.Yeah I agree, but not accounting for injuries, the Harris of right now is a better test bowler than Lee was for a good 80% of his career.
England fans won't rate Lee that highly anyway as he averaged 40 against us. Pretty poor that but obviously he had a much better record against others.I mean, that middle part of Lee's career (02-05) where he sucked, sure, Harris was better, but the other parts....
