Shouldn't play international cricket again let alone Tests, but he's been picked in the one day squad for some reason.

Barring injury or loss of form by Hilfenhaus, Siddle, Johnson or Clark - no

As Am Bays said he now has 4 pace bowlers to get past and unless at least one of them gets injured he won't play at test level again. Sad he may not get the chance to show how well he has overcome his injury concerns of the last 12-18 months but the others have grabbed their chances with both hands and deserve their spots.

Lee can't be picked for the 5th Test and I agree with what Robert Craddock had to say on The Back Page last night in that he probably won't play Test cricket again because the selectors might look to focus on the younger fast bowlers this summer against the West Indies & Pakistan. That could also mean the end is nigh for Stuart Clark.

Look at the injury run we had last season. We'll probably have to use 8 fast bowlers in the next 12 months so I am sure Lee will play again at some point
He doesn't need to be a first choice player to get a game. All sides need a pool of bowlers to cover the inevitable injuries and form slumps. Plus it's not as though there aren't enough young guys getting a go now anyway that we need to leave him out for the sake of blooding someone new.
