Brett Lee not broken by latest setback | Cricket News | ICC World Twenty20 2010 | Cricinfo.com

It's okay guys, we'll be seeing Lee opening the bowling in the Carribean DDDDDDDDDD

 

[marc71178]

Not an Aussie fan I take it?

 

[Jayzamann]

I'm not a fan of seeing unfit and out-of-form players get their **** carted because of incumbency.

Hypothetical: If Lee were to pull out due to injury, who would you prefer picked:

Bollinger or Harris?

 

[marc71178]

Both and find a way to injure Tait as well IMO.

 

[Burgey]

Absence of Dougeh a disgrace tbh.

Dougy.

Dougeh.

 

[stephen]

Harris on form.

 

[age_master]

Hmm Michael Clarke cost a win against Zimbabwe scoring to slowly. Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson were the pick of the bowlers though, good to see Lee in particular keeping the runs down.

 

[Nate]

Yeah, nothing new in that match. Hauritz and Christian's bowling pumped, Clarke bats too slow. Surprise.

 

[Nate]

Lee injured though. Surely Dougeh or Harris to come in.

 

[age_master]

Gottta be Bollinger.

 

[Top_Cat]

I'd suggest they'll go with Harris. If you have both Tait and Nannes in the line-up, you'll need a bit more batting and Harris is a better bat and field. Bollinger in slightly better form overall (perhaps not in LO matches) with the ball but I'd think Harris' all-round qualities would see him get the nod.

[Nate]

Harris.

 

[wfdu_ben91]

FFS, why not pick Bollinger? One of the best in the world at the moment. Jesus christ!

 

[pasag]

Harris
Nannes
Tait
Bollinger

Should be the bowling lineup, which along with Watto is an excellent attack save for the lack of spin.

Bollinger has his good and bad days at the death, he's not really suited to it but at least he's a bit more awkward. Harris on the other hand is just beautiful to smash out of the park. Not too fast, skids on nicely, no variety. The batting isn't really a factor for me.

If they plan on bowling Harris out at the start, then Bollinger is still better. If they plan on bowling Harris a couple at the death. Bollinger is much better.

Only one will be selected and it's Harris

Bollinger is a better left armer than Johnson and Nannes

Harris is more reliable than Lee

Guys like Christian are barely serviceable state players

Oz selectors dont watch cricket

Calm down... Im sure the selectors were tossing up between him and Harris. One of the best in the world is a slight overstatement though.

 

[Nate]

Reading Scaly's assessment of Harris, then looking at Harris's International Stats so far... just have to laugh really.

And why no Jonners Pasag?
