"If you start getting reverse swing and out-and-out pace, there are not a lot of people who enjoy facing that sort of bowling. I know the West Indies did well in India during the '80s. If you've got good-quality fast bowling, you're the side to beat," he added.

"Brett Lee is bowling with good pace and getting back into some good rhythm, and he has the experience alone. I want to see Mitch and Tait, if they're anywhere near their best, that's a formidable attack. Throw in some part-timers and spinners, and that's a good side," Border said.

Border spent all day in the hot Blacktown sun overseeing the Sydney audition for Cricket Superstar, the new reality TV show which hopes to unearth the next Australia cricketer and will be shown on Fox 8 later this year.

Border said he had already identified some brilliant fast bowling talent at the West Australia auditions in Perth and Bunbury, and was delighted with his job to cull 100 kids to 15 in Sydney.
