Brett Lee to miss first two Ashes tests

Brett Lee who was expected to the spearhead the Australian bowling attack against the English in the Ashes is ruled out for the first two matches as he suffered a tear in the side muscle. Australia will miss his experience as the remaining bowling attack is relatively inexperienced.  He is also a doubtful starter for the third test as doctors advised rest. At CricRepublic we feel dejavu , remember Ashes 2005 when McGrath the then spearhead had stepped on a ball and injured his knee and Australia at that point were 1 Nil in lead but they went to loose the series 1-2 to England
