Lee doesn't really frighten batsmen around the world with his pace. Prefer a McGrath to outright pace anyday, don't you agree? @Sarath: I don’t agree with the need for outright pace.

Kumble has had a terrific year and his role in WI was crucial. But then Warne has had a good year too. Kumble has picked up more wickets (at a higher average though). Since we have guys like Clark and Kallis who can keep one end tight, it might be better to have someone who is more attacking, like Warne. Dravid wasn't picked because we wanted more balance and Kallis added that with his bowling. Vettori might have been an interesting choice but 3 spinners? Flintoff, well he hasn't had agreat year really. @ Kesavan: Kumble over Warne, maybe. Kumble has had a terrific year and his role in WI was crucial. But then Warne has had a good year too.

Someone who will hit the deck. Especially since the team has kallis who also swings the back, a Brett Lee would do good. But honestly I dont have too much of a clue about his performances over the last year. Any other outright pace bowling options would also fit in.
