yea im forgetting about clark, the ideal attack would beI'd prefer Clark back, especially if Lee isn't going to regain top form.
Lee
Clark
Johnson
Siddle/Hilfenhaus
Or a spinner, something along those lines

Hate to admit it, but Binga no doubt has to find his form back ASAP. Or else his test career could be finished. Siddle is the maynnnnn these days...Rather have Siddle than Lee.
AWTA.Best Australian attack once all are fit should be:
Clark
Lee/Siddle
Johnson
Watson
McGain
Agreed. Siddle is starting to look like a real find. Brett Lee just looked old in the last two series, no pace or cutting edge.Hate to admit it, but Binga no doubt has to find his form back ASAP. Or else his test career could be finished. Siddle is the maynnnnn these days...
This.I can't believe anyone would rather Lee in the Test team after the good form of the 24 year old Siddle.
Actually Lee is not a very streaky player. He is very consistent with his wicket taking. He's the kind of guy who will take you four wickets a match whether the wicket is a greentop or a road.Lee over the long term has proven himself to be solid, on his day he is brilliant but on others he is relatively ineffective, a guy thats good to have but not the star player.
So the question is, can Siddle keep this up? What is Siddle like on days where it won't be brilliant? Overall, is he a better package than Lee?
Yeah agree with this. Would be interesting to see who would get the new ball though, Ponting seems to change it every other match atm.Would definitley bring Lee back in if he could prove he's somehow back to his best. Perhaps the break really helped after difficult times in his life. He had his best season ever after the WC layoff after all. Would certainly have him there above Hilfenhaus, for starters.
No, if given the choice they'd play Lee first until he fails.Lee won't and shouldn't get a look in if Clark is fit, like the look of Johnson, Siddle and Clark.
And then for seven years after that.No, if given the choice they'd play Lee first until he fails.
If everyone was fit, Lee should be vying with Hilf/McDonald/McGain/Haurritz/McDonald/etc for the 4th bowling positionDon't get the Lee hate here. On his day, he's the best bowler in the world. If he gets back to the effectiveness he had a couple of years ago, I'd drop just about anyone for Lee.
Maybe except Clark - he's in the McGrath league. But the best of Lee > the best of this whole lot, comfortably.
