It is official that Brett Lee won’t be going to the 2007 World Cup, and it will be Stuart Clark that replaces him. For all Clark’s obvious abilities at Test level, there’s no doubt who is the more dangerous bowler with the white ball, and this is another blow to the Australians.

Despite all their troubles, Australia are still favourites with the British bookies. Some of these prices are remarkable, to be honest. South Africa at 9/2 look a bargain to me.

Sad, as he would have been one of the stars of the tournament. His form with the white ball over the last few years has been phenomenal, and Australia must now be very worried.

It was shock to see Stuart Clark ommitted initially. Australia’s hope lie with him, and whether he can repeat the form he showed with the red cherry.
