Drugs Cheat. That immediately rules him out of contention.

Stuart Clark? How has he died off? 26 wickets in his last Test series! lol

I meant Lee had a similar start to his career just like what Clark had.

He was cleared.

 

[evertonfan]

He was cleared.

By the PCB. Once you test positive for drugs your a cheat, even if the PCB are too spineless to suspend their players.

Lee is one of the best strike bowlers out there in both forms of the game

what Is shoaib still having the drug tests..?????
when will he return....i thought he was cleared completely .....

 

[Almost_Austwick]

He was cleared.

He wasn't cleared. The PCB took the stance that although he had taken drugs he wasn't responsible for having done so (because he was too stupid to check what he was taking), so they basically said he was innocent. Same with Asif.

Would agree with the views on Bond but the fact that he's so delicate means that he's never had a long enough run to really show what he could do. Starts and stops have given an idea but I'd love to see him playing for 2 or 3 years without a break.

For me, the leading quicks in world cricket atm are Flintoff, Malinga, Lee, Bond, Zaheer had a fantastic tour of England, Ntini, there are too many. Some amazing quickies in world cricket atm.

He was cleared of punishment, but never of taking drugs.

As good as Zaheer and Flintoff are they wouldn't be considered express pace, Flintoff wouldn't quite be quick enough to be express pace imo.

How about another twist in this thread, the best up and coming express pace bowler. I'm not talking about anyone currently playing international cricket (Tait for instance) but someone up and coming in your domestic season.

Probably Bond-When fully fit.
Deadly accurate great 150kpmh pace, swing, everything.
Second best is lee, i guess..dunno why exactly.

Up and coming? Myself, of course

How fast does James Harris bowl?

 

[manee]

He bowls from 78-83mph

He was fairly impressive in the Yorkshire onslaught yesterday, good pace for one so young.
