Australia request a replacement for injured Lee

[aussie1st]

Brett Lee's injury dramas have continued with the Australia Twenty20 cricket team requesting a replacement after the paceman suffered a muscle strain in his forearm.

It's expected that either Indian Premier League All-Star XI team member Doug Bollinger or in-form Queensland quick Ryan Harris will be rushed into the squad for the World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies starting this weekend.

Dam he should have pulled out earlier, not giving much time for Harris/Bollinger to get over the jet lag and make the starting 11. Will be interesting seeing who they go for Harris advantage is his lower order hitting but Bollinger has been going very well of late. Got a feeling it'll be Harris as the selectors have enough trouble getting their head around 2 left armers in the side, having 3 would be unthinkable.

Yeah I like Harris, he is the more consistent one.

Lee should just retire from all formats. He gets injured every other day.

Slowly & disappointly i'm beginning to feel this indeed may be the best path for Bing to take. Its too regular now & with all the competiton around, the selectors can't keep backing him based on past glory if he can't stay fit.

 

[Robelinda]

COME ON. Retire already. He's not that good. Bollinger played out of his skin in the IPL, no other country would be stupid enough to leave him out.

Harris or Bollinger? Why can't we replace Dan Christian or Tim Paine and take both? Michael Hussey can keep wicket if Haddin gets injured.

Find an injury to them and you can get your wish Only need one from one of those two now that Lee is out.

 

[SaiSrini]

Harris done well there too.

I would go with Bollinger. He was the better of the two! He consistently troubled even the top international batsman and for someone who came that late into the tournament, he single handedly changed Chennai's fortunes.

Hehe I agree.

I guess Christian will be replaced by White and they also played 2 keepers so Paine will have to go.

I don't want to play Hauritz, he will be the dud bowler imo.

Bollinger FTW for sure.
