Michael Brown, Cricket Australia’s acting chief executive, said Lee had been given "short-term leave" for a personal issue that he had previously discussed with Cricket Australia and the selectors. "We look forward to Brett rejoining the group as soon as possible," Brown said. The news is a setback for the side, which is without Ricky Ponting (wrist injury), while Matthew Hayden continues to battle a heel problem.

What a fascinating sight it is to watch Brett Lee steaming in and deliver a thunderbolt that has the batsman ducking or swaying. And if the length is fuller and the line straighter the batsman is into a hurried shot to prevent his stumps from going to a walk.

New Delhi: In a shocker, former Australian vice-captain Adam Gilchrist, known for his uncontroversial image, has lashed out at the Indian team and has singled out Sachin Tendulkar, questioning the sportsman spirit of the ’little master’ according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

In this year’s Shield, Aaron Heal hasn’t played, Jon Holland was dropped for round 2, Daniel Doran, Dan Cullen and Xavier Doherty have been dropped for round 3, while (non-NSW) state sides choose to use Marcus North/Adam Voges, David Hussey, Chris Simpson, Aaron O’Brien and Dan Marsh as their frontline spinners (4 of them being captains). Hence we get Cameron White playing as a specialist number 8 batsman and 6th choice bowler in the Test side. They’re hardly going to ge... more
