although i hate ausis, one must appreciate the attitude of bolrs like lee. in ind, our bolrs initially r medium pacers, but after couple of years, they become 'gentle' medium pacers. which akram has rightly criticised. best example of munaf patel, irfan, etc. v need bolrs like lee
Dhoni was absolutely correct about Younis risking playing himself with a fractured finger..ultimately that dolly catch younis dropped (becos of finger fracture) turned out to be the turning point of their exit in semis....pakis r foolish

yes. wi bolr roach was clocked the fastest in the champs trophy concluded just now with some 152(!) kph speed..
Whatever be his fitness level,energy etc. but the bottom most point is that his action is still suspect. Maybe ICC has cleared him, but i find his action very suspect. He is a chucker. So too is Akhtar,Murali,old Thomson etc. The cleanest of all is Bond & Steyn. So whatever these suspect people achieve nothing great about it. A negative aspect is always there.

_Imran at his peak, Waqar was the fastest with clean action. Shoaib I doubt is a chucker since has an abnormal arm with hyper extended elbows so it seems he is chucking but actually he cannot. You can watch his hyper extended arm video on YTube.
All our Indian fast bowlers came with bang - Munaf, Irfan, and the buggest one Ishant. Within a few years they become medium pacers. It happens because when lower middle class people start earning so much of money within 1-2 years of their debut, they become careless and take things for granted. They should all be kicked out after each year and then they would do good. Keep kicking them out at the interval of 1 year all the time.
is a true sportsman at heart and mind...love his dedication and hard work and last but not least hes passionate as a fast bowler , thats wat makes fast bowlers a different breed.

One of the few Aussies I respect, who dont sledge. Only 3 good guys are Lee, Hussey and Glichrist and rest are all bad guys such as Macgrath, Ponting, Hayden, Symonds who just sledge. They might be great players but crwod love only the nice people. Good guy Lee!

McGrath and Hayden don't even play anymore. Symonds has been severely disciplined by CA (unlike BCCI who doesn't even know the spelling of the word discipline). That just leaves Ponting. What sledging did you see Ponting doing in the Champions Trophy?... :)
