The Australian team to play New Zealand

The team has just been announced and is:

Ricky Ponting (c)
Adam Gilchrist
Simon Katich
Michael Clarke
Brad Hodge
Michael Hussey
Andrew Symonds
Brad Hogg
Brett Lee
Nathan Bracken
Stuart Clark
Mick Lewis
Cameron White

Notice the obvious omission? Glenn McGrath is apparently being rested, and that leaves a very inexperienced looking pace bowling line-up. Lee we know about and I suspect early season New Zealand wickets will be one of the few places in the world to suit Bracken's dobbers - but who the hell is Mick Lewis? Ah, here we go - he is a 31 year-old pace man who bowls with "tremendous pace and hostility". Apparently.
