The big bear, the sizzler and an under performer

Cameron White is a part timer with one test behind him.

Peter Siddle is a debutante.

Between them they took 5 wickets.

The rest of the attack, Lee, Johnson, Watson and Clarke combined for 4.

Take out Johnson, and the other 3 have one.

Clarke is a part timer who has been given the keys to his dads new Porsche, but can’t drive a stick.

So he is forgiven.

Watson, is Watson, and should be generally ignored.

But Lee, the man who wants the mantle of worlds best quick bowler, needs to step up.

Johnson, Siddle, Khan and Sharma have out bowled him in this test.

Other than Sharma, none of those bowlers have more talent than Lee.

And Sharma, as impressive as he is, is a long way short of being the bowler Lee has become in the last 18 months.

Right at the moment he is the best quick in world cricket, so he needs to bowl like it.

If Peter Sizzle can take 3 wickets, Lee should be able to at least match that.

I understand that this is Lee’s first test tour to India, but he has been to India more than any Australian ever.

I think he has dual citizenship.

If he wants to be the man, then he needs to perform when the chips are down.

And the chips is down.

Being the strike bowler for a test team is not an easy job, but this is the time to strike.

Its unfair to Judge him on 3 innings, but Australia is behind, and their main bowler has not fired.

Meanwhile a bunch of Victorians who no one wanted are performing above expectations.

Surely that must piss Lee off enough that he takes some wickets.
