Does anyone have Darren Lehmann's bowling averages in the one day game? I know Australia want Harvey/Symonds/Lehmann as our 5th bowler, but I'm sure Boof could easily do the job.
Also why hasn't Waugh been giving Martyn a bowl in the one dayers?

Harvey can easily do the job as a fifth bowler its just a matter of whether his batting is good enough.Symonds bowling is terrible and is not up t it and im sure Lehman would admit he is just a change bowler despite his recent luck.

Darren Lehmann's bowling in ODI's is 12 wickets at 40.75 with an economy rate of 5.39.
In domestic one-dayers his record is 72 wickets at 27.97 with an economy rate of 4.62.
Nothing brilliant but I reckon he is definetly bowling better this season which was shown by his performances with the ball for the A team. With the 5th bowler it is probably just important that they keep it tight as it is to take wickets.
if only bevan could step up and be able to bowl 5 overs each one dayer then the team would look alot stronger. Martyn is also capable and i was alwayz an optimist of Blewett as an all rounder but his bowling hasnt really taken off since his test demise.
