Scott Boland born at the wrong time, bit like Stuart MacGill: Brett Lee

India Today  

Brett Lee has likened Scott Boland’s fate to that of former leg-spinner Stuart MacGill. As far as Boland is concerned, he gets a chance in Australia’s Test XI only when one of their big guns amongst Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, misses out. “I think Boland’s got that same unlucky thing, being born at the wrong time when Australian fast-bowling is so good, so strong,” Lee said. ‘Boland is the world’s nicest guy’ Boland won the Player of the Match award in the Sydney Test, which Australia won by six wickets to claim the series 3-1.
