2 wickets in 2 balls lee has to be a starter in the first ashes test

 

[Leicester Fox]

The infamous bottler strikes again.

Hope Lee doesn't play.

 

[Themer]

Even with those two wickets then Australia have been quite poor today. Everyone barring Lee hasn't had a very good day.

 

[King Pietersen]

Have to say though, that was a cracking ball to get Bell. Swung incredibly late and at high pace. Lee looking good for the 1st Test now.

What a hat-trick ball. 94.8mph Yorker. Solanki was lucky to get away with that one.

 

[spaga1994]

unlucky not to get his hattrick

 

[Howsie]

Bell is such a chump.

Sounds like Brett Lee is bowling well though.

 

[King Pietersen]

To be fair to Belly, it was a good ball. But yeh, his last over was excellent. Very late swing at 93-95mph, awesome bowling, looked a step above everyone else in the Aussie bowling attack today.

I'm loving the fact that Moore's on 99*, Willis was slagging his selection of in his Sky Sports article. Actually questioned the selections of all 3 Worcester players.

 

[angryangy]

Lee looks awesome right now. He's regularly touching 95 mph and is landing some stunning inswinging yorkers.

 

[Will_NA]

I'll call Bell a bottler before anyone else but facing 95.6 mph is hard enough. Facing it for your first ball and accompanied by late swing is near impossible. He would have probably reached 30 and lobbed Hauritz to Long Leg anyway.

 

[Gilly Fan]

He's been brilliant. Great speeds consistently, and he's able to do it during the course of the day, not just his first spell. Something he hasn't been able to do for a couple of years. Our best bowler today followed by Clark.

 

[spaga1994]

3 wickets to lee using reverse swing brilliantly

 

[SciD]

Bob Willis has such a grumpy voice and is so rude.

 

[Themer]

Bob Willis has such a grumpy voice and is so rude.

Haha

Willis is a legend.

 

[Mercules]

Owais Shah seems to fallen well out of reckoning.

You'd have thought he'd be included in such a game.

5fa to Lee.
