Brett Lee ruled out of World Cup
Australia's World Cup campaign has suffered a blow as Brett Lee has been ruled out of the World Cup. Cricket Australia was giving him until next Tuesday to prove his fitness. I can only assume he received some bad news today and let CA know asap (decent of you, Bing). On the one hand, it's cruel news - Australia's one day bowling reputation is at an all time low at the moment and Lee is arguably our best one day bowler. On the other hand, I was a little concerned that he might tour with a dodgy ankle. Added to Symond's shoulder, Hayden's foot, Clarke's hip and Ponting's back, the Australian 15 man squad is a few pulled hammys away from not being able to field an XI. The other silver lining is Stuart Clark regains his spot (I told you to be patient, Clarky!)

Dink, donk, rattle. Is that the sound of the wheels falling off? This might make a competition out of the World Cup.

Jon the Pom, I guess you'll have your answer on March 9 when we play England in a warm-up match - will Australia continue to dud out or wreak a vengeance similar to the 5-nil Ashes? Should be an interesting re-match.

You guys must be gutted with this news. While all are certain (of course with our best wishes for Lee's speedy recovery) breathing a sigh of relief. HEALTH FIRST, WE ALWAYS SAY!!! :) Stuart Clarke, his replacement is obviously no mug with the ball, he’s actually quite good (though his recent form may not be that great). Yet Lee is Lee.
