ICC World T20 2010 - West Indies

[Gurjot95]

Lee has played 4 matches and has economy rate of 10.27 with 0 wickets. He is on last in list in all bowlers of KXI. Even Sree and other path time bowlers has better economy than him and has taken wickets :doh

^Yeah that's correct, last night his last over ruined what was an 'OK' night. Shaun Tait has also been disappointing. Whoever comes out of the IPL with the better form will probably make the XI I'd say. Lee has some brownie points like extra batting and fielding, but Tait has more pace these days and they might be reluctant to rush Lee straight back in.

I'll predict, Tait gets one game and if he sprays it around then Lee to come in for the 2nd.

Tait has proven this IPL why he will not be coming back with the national side in 2011. The guy is awful unless the wickets are quick, with the Caribbean being slow and low these days, Id play Lee over him.

Tait was going well until the last few matches. Was a few matches where he was under 30 runs for the 4 overs and taking 2 to 3 wickets a game.

It doesn't matter how Lee has performed in the IPL, when he plays for Australia he will be as good as ever.

Yeah I see the reasoning. I think Tait's hit and miss regardless, throwing in different wicket conditions - well who the hell knows what you're gonna get

But he did do well in the '07 World Cup, so hopefully Taity gets the same vibe as he had from that tour.

Yea Tait has blown hot & cold in the IPL. Some games he has been brilliant & some her has been poor/average.

One thing i'd say is that AUS shouldn't give him the new-ball in the windies. I reckon he would be best used bowling in the middle-overs & death.

 

[aussie1st]

If he got his swing back he would be lethal with the new ball but that seems to have disappeared.

Harris, Bollinger and McKay all not in our World T20 squad.

I reckon he still has that swing. Its just that he is too eratic at the best of times. Those first 6 overs in a T20 is important for a fielding side, need two new-ball bowlers you can depend on 90%+ of the time & thats not Taity.

War added 1 Minutes and 54 Seconds later...

Harris, Bollinger and McKay all not in our World T20 squad.

Dont think McKay would make an effective T20 bowler at all to be honest.

 

[ShamiLoverGlipGlops]

Not selecting Bollinger must be the worst decision.... Also he might just be added to the side as Lee has again injured himself!! He has a fracture!!

 

[aussie1st]

McKay seems to get the job done, hardly ever see him getting smashed like Tait and Lee. Bollinger has fallen off since his debut match. Not bringing Harris is probably the one they will regret, would have been worth having him over Paine since the selectors want Lee and its worth a punt whereas I don't see the need for Paine as worst case we get Mike Hussey to keep.

 

[angryangy]

I don't think Bollinger is particularly good at T20, but his pace and bounce can destroy players who lack good footwork or press forward too much. In some sense it is bowlers like that that make international cricket that leap above for first class bullies, but by the same token, you expect better from established batsmen at the same level.

 

[aussie1st]

Haven't seen Bollinger bowling but if his pace is under 140km/h, that would be the main reason hes struggling. He should be in the mid 140s, he can survive below that but pace in Test but its a lot harder when the batters are going after you.

Look out for Dale Steyn in World T20.
