Battle of the Australians

[Mister Wright]

Remember....randomizer!!

Yeah, not fair 2 of my favourite players are/will be out far too early. Although, Border IMO is Australia's best ever captain and I like to think of him as Australia's 2nd best ever player. But, we'll soon find out what everyone else thinks.

After reading the earlier posts about the top fifty, can someone tell me how Brett Lee has made it. Of course I am biased because I find him a irrational bowler, who doesn't think enough when the pressure is on. Sooks when he didn't make the team etc. Sure he played a roll in the ashes, but in the top 50 I highly doubt it.

Yeah, it is a bit of a stretch. He is a fantastic one day bowler (however rusty last night) and will end up, if not already, in Australia's top 10 of ODI players. Even though he has improved slightly in at the test level he still has a few questions to answer about his ability as a test match bowler. Will be interesting to see how far he goes in this battle.

You're randomiser sucks!

This is a tough one. Can't really split much between their records - both impressive. However I'll give my vote to Simpson, because IMO his coaching is better than Lawry's commentating.
