PERTH - Australian selectors have recalled fast bowler Brett Lee and
dropped Andrew Bichel for tomorrow's third Test against England in
Perth.
Australian captain Steve Waugh said Lee's pace convinced selectors to
play him on the bouncy WACA ground wicket, ending his two Tests as 12th
man.
Waugh said Bichel was disappointed to lose his spot after taking wickets
in Australia's crushing wins in the opening two Test matches.
Australian batsman Matthew Hayden has been passed fit to play as
Australia tries to wrap its eighth consecutive Ashes series victory.
Lee was dropped at the start of the series because of disappointing form
but has since shone in two Pura Cup matches for NSW.
