If that is true, I stand corrected.
Always felt watching them that Clark was the one more likely to take a wicket.
Which tests did this run include btw?

Yeah. That was a pretty special innings but I don't think Watson is too far behind North as a batsman on ability. If he's playing well with the bat in the lead-up to the Ashes, given that his bowling is vastly superior, I still think he'd be a good choice. Wouldn't be overly surprised if they don't pick him though, for obvious reasons.
Wonder if they'll drop Siddle if both Lee and Clark are fit. Would be one of the harsher selection decisions in recent memory.

You do realise that 550 would've broken the test record by 100 +
SA's chances of chasing this down were somewhere between nil and zero

Sri Lanka at home, India at home, West Indies away. Even if you include India away, Lee's are still better.

How many really good series has Lee had? 3 or 4?

Statistically speaking these sides are the ones that Lee has had the most success against.
If he plays in England it will be interesting to see how he does. Won't take much to lower that 40 average he holds against them.

1999/2000 and 2000/2001 where really good for him and 2007 and 2007/2008 were good seasons for him. Everything else in his career can at best be described as "ordinary".

Indeed. I still find myself shaking my head in disbelief when I see he has more Test wickets than Jason Gillespie. Despite all his injuries, Dizz seemed so much better for so much longer that it just seems wrong.

Hopefully, there's no chance of dropping Siddle
He should be the one earmarked to lead the attack for the next few years
However, it wouldnt surprise me to see them retain McDonald as he can close up an end with the ball, suited to some English conditions and a potential all-rounder - stranger things have happened!

Agreed.
No other fast bowler has taken over 300 wickets with an average > 30.
Vaas, Ntini and Dev come closest.
