wow back up JLC
I'll be the first to agree Lee bowls too many bouncers at tail enders, but he was also bowling them at alec stewart, obviously he thought he'd get him out hooking, which is rather silly if you ask me but I'm ont bowling for Australia.
The bouncer at Tutor was not especially evil, tutor made the fatal mistake of taking his eyes off the ball.
Lee didn't intend to floor the guy, no more than you intend to run over a dog who runs under your car. If tutor had stood up and let it hit him it would've hit his chest or shoulder, but he ducked, took his eyes off it, and turned away just enough to let it crack him in the most unfortunate area on his head, exactly where his helmet doesn't cover. I doubt Lee oculd hit that spot if he wanted to with the batsman still, let alone moving.
Lee bowls too many short balls ot tailenders, in my opinion, he should be more concerned with getting them out. But you need to throw a few short ones in there to make it easier to get them out, tutors not as slouch with the bat as that last guy,
But it's not Lee's fault this one connected, tutor should not have taken his eyes off the ball. It's not Lee's fault it got through the unprotected area of his helmet and did damage.
that's my thoughts anyway.
