I'd be staggered if they dropped Gillespie rather than Kaspa. Kaspa has had a great year, he is a tireles workhouse and his fight to get back into the Australian team late in his career is laudable - but Gillespie is a quality strike bowler.
But hopefully its a dud debate, the correct decision would be to save Lee for the pyjama stuff

If Lee comes in as the stock bowler he'd be fairly useless. Which means Gillespie would get dropped to 3rd quick and Lee would open.

I think Lee deserves a chance in the Test side again. Especially since the NZ'ers fear him.
I have faith that Lee can perform well in the test squad, and would love to see him there.
Gillespie as 3rd would be good, but possibly kasprowicz is the better option?
