At least it makes it better knowing that even world class batsmen are struggling against Warne and it wasnt just the English batsmen making him look unplayable this summer

I dont think Lee can bowl much better than he did. He will stray a bit in any scenario. He has to ensure that straying is not more than one-two balls an over and he can do good against most teams/players.aussie said:this is great stuff rom Australia, the way Lee has bowled in this innings is how he should bowl more often in test. Australia have just been brilliant....

Unfortunately he'd probably burn out in a year if he did. Although maybe its better to be top for a year or 2 than mediocre for 5+aussie said:this is great stuff rom Australia, the way Lee has bowled in this innings is how he should bowl more often in test. Australia have just been brilliant....

Quite a few members of this forum (and likely a few million Indians) probably did, when they realised he'd gotten a pair. Oh, Inzy...SpaceMonkey said:Looks like he decided not to come in the end
Only a matter of time, now. The World XI's effort with the bat continues to be disappointing - maybe if we're lucky we'll get a bit of excitement from Freddie.

Whatever it takes!!!
FWIW, I thought that 36 by Lara was really great. It is perhaps the best 36 you could see. A shame the ball bounced higher than what everyone expected. I don't see how Lara could have done anything different in this test. He got two good balls, the first one he would have played better had he been in any kind of touch. The second one, he would have got out to even if he was 400*. Dravid has this habit when he is playing defensively to let the ball hit the bat with his bat face facing the pitch, looking down. This causes problems for him against someone who gets as much drift, turn and bounce as Warne does. He even had problems with Kaneria playing this way.

There is a difference between bottom edge and inner edge. Lara was looking to play a backfoot drive, not a cut. Bottom edges happen only with horizontal bat shots. With straight bat shots, it is usually the outer edge or the inner edge.parttimer said:

I started watching when he was on 4 and except for that one ball from McGrath, I thought Lara was playing really well, trying to build his innings brick by brick. He did play that one loose shot off Brett Lee outside the offstump immediately after that square drive, but otherwise I thought he was very solid.Pratyush said:
