Good News! Brett Lee's foot f*cked.

From ABC Online:
---------------------------
The day got worse for the Australians with news Brett Lee will miss the rest of the match and is likely to be out for the series with a left foot injury.
---------------------------
Don't know about that making the day worse. I'm PMSL.

Happy New Year Australian cricket fans!!!


Good news for MILF too.

Course it means that Aust can only play for the draw now.

LIke that'll work. But Hayden must be due some runs now...

Good news everyone!

Alex Kountouris, team physio says they're willing to risk Lee in the second innings of this match.

We're fuck'ed.

Even if does bowl as poorly as he has been in this series, he's still gotta be better value than Hussey or Clarke.

Paris took a wicket in his first over of the match. Better than anything Blee's done against the Saffies so far.

He got lucky with a tailender going the tonk. Besides, if he had of been under it the ball would have landed on his scone, going by his efforts later on.

Had to laugh at the the Nob when he alluded to the fact that Lee's absence had contributed to the bad day Aus had.

FFS.

Carn down, Milf.

Siddle and Johnson probably didn't rest as much as they would have otherwise. Must have affected them later on.

Siddle and Johnson bowled tosh for the first 30 minutes. If they had've bowled like they did yesterday, Bung's absence would've meant nothing.

And it's a bit sad when the absence of last year's premier Aus quick is lamented because he wasn't there to give rest to the other quicks. The Yarps were 7-fer FFS.

He bowled an outstanding spell into the wind at Perth, I've not seen Hussey bowl that well before.

As long as it isn't Mydear.

******, they wouldn't, would they?

I hope he means with the bat.

It could be for the greater good. Make him bowl twenty overs straight in the second innings, he breaks down permanently, we lose the series but Blee is gone forever.

Gone but not forgotten.

Reports this morning suggesting 6 weeks off. Huzzah!

It's a start. They're also still saying he'll bowl in the SAf second innings. Which will probably further f*ck his foot.

HUZZAH....the greatest contribution this overblown and flyblown turkey has made to Oz cricket

Link: Lee aims for Ashes comeback.

From the link:

Australia's physio Alex Kountouris said if Lee's rehabilitation from the combined injuries went well he should be available for the ICC World Twenty20 in England in June ahead of the Ashes tour, which begins later that month.

If that's the 'hope' maybe the reality will be longer...
