Aussies with LEEthal Edge.

Brett Lee is adamant he is fit enough to regain his place and lead Australia's Ashes fightback at Headingley tomorrow. Lee has missed the opening three Tests with a side strain but has bowled for the past week and believes he has done enough to demand selection.


The Aussie team despite being battered with lot of injuries to their major players would be looking to striking at the English as Flintoff struggles. The Aussie bowling with Lee back as the spearhead would be looking for a way to square off the series. Lee with his pace, bounce, swing, line and his ability to rough up the batsman with short pitched deliveries would be a welcome back addition to the Aussie pace battery that lacks the fire power.

With none of the Aussie pacers able to swing like Onions or James Andersen, would be looking at 'Leethal' Lee to give them the early edge b drawing first blood. Wouldn't Strauss be the perfect wicket for the Aussies?? I'm sure ponting would like nothing better.
When Lee was asked whether he was fit he reliped, "Yes, 100%." With Lee 100% ready and raring to go, the next match would surely be a cracker of a constant.


I conclude this post with Shane Watson's words. "He bowled at full pace, which is not the nicest thing to face in the nets when the nets aren't super flat," Watson said. "It's great for him to see him charging in. Obviously he's still maybe a game away to get under his belt before he might be in calculation for selection, but it's great to see him out there firing."
We'll only know tomorrow whether Lee will be given the chance to add to his tally of 310 wickets in test cricket.
