I posted last test match about this, Cummins 28* has saved him today, his highest score since he made 63 against India at the MCG in 2018.amber_fluid wrote:Lightning McQueen wrote:I'd rather they send Starc in before Cummins
Yep and Lyon.
Cummins is struggling big time with the bat.

You're just not going to take many wickets bowling like that to specialist batsmen. And he stopped being effective because you don't take many wickets bowling constantly at that length.

Yeah I suppose I was thinking of that summer. Although I do recall Lee (and the other pace bowlers) bowling way too short in the '05 Ashes.The Dark Knight wrote:RB wrote:One of the reasons Brett Lee's career fizzled out when he was only about 30 (I know he'd had injuries) was that he bowled relentlessly short.

Lee turned 30 in November 2006 and played test cricket until December 2008 and I was of the view that Lee had his best years of test cricket once McGrath retired in January 2007 when he became the leader of the Australian bowling attack for a couple of years. Along with Gilchrist Lee is my favourite Australian cricketer so naturally I looked into this.
After he turned 30 Lee played 22 tests, took 99 wickets @29.47 at a SR of 54.8 and an Economy of 3.22.
Before 30 he played 54 tests, took 211 wickets @31.45 at a SR of 52.5 and an Economy of 3.58.
I also looked at his career summary break down of year by year/summer by summer. Taking the stats into account I don't think Lee's test career fizzled out as much as you might think but his last summer (when he was 32) where he averaged 47.80 and a SR of 84.1 maybe be the one you remember and the one you're referring too?Screenshot_20210118-192634_Chrome.jpg

See a place about 30km away from the Gabba has had 174mm of rain in the last 3 hours, looks like theres heaps now heading towards brisbane itself, going to be a monster cleanup job one would think

His yorker was really effective as well in the early 2000s, but from memory he just didn't seem to bowl anything that wasn't short, or really vary his bowling much at all, late in his career, although it looks like maybe I'm only recalling his last season.
