Are you a Brett Lee fan?

The Cadets "Top Band of all Time"

He probably have Brett Lee song as the best of all time.

I'd probably have Jayasuriya in the ODI side for Yousuf

Or move Bing up to bat 4, then you can add an extra bowler or all-rounder: maybe Shane Lee.

Pretty good stats from 01/01/2000 - 03/04/2001

Mat Runs HS Bat Av 100 Wkts BBI Bowl Av 5 Ct St
20 189 28 18.90 0 26 4/37 22.07 0 11 0

I would probably put Langer in for Smith and swap Kallis and Lara in the batting order. But other than that, good effort.

Sorry mate, everyones entitled to an opinion but I hardly think he has been one of the best eleven world-wide for the past decade, he couldn't even get into the Aussie eleven for ages.

Have look at his stats over the last 10 years in both forms

How would Lee's stats compare to Pollock's?

Lee has him covered in ODI but you'd pick Pollock ahead of him for Tests

Only Murali has taken more wickets than Lee in the 2000's in ODI

I would probably go for Lee over Pollock just for variety. McGrath and Pollock are the same sort of bowlers imo.

Good effort, lucky it was only from 2000 onwards or you would've had to find room in the side for Scott Muller.

You're more likely to get a fifty out of Pollock though. What about Freddy?

Freddy haha kidding right??
He is massively overrated. Stats wise, he wouldnt make the best 3 sides.
only taken 4 5 wicket hauls in Test matches, and definitely not close to making a side as a batsman

Agree. Played a couple of good games in 2005 and everyone thinks hes a superstar.

I was just asking mate, stats don't always paint an accurate picture, I'd have Freddy in my side before Lee any day. Maybe he just lifts it a notch when playing the Aussies.

Wouldnt get a bat most of the time.
