I believe Brett Lee is a better batsman. I think the remaining full-time batsman (including Gilchrist) who is not out once the tail is reached would be better suited batting with Lee because he has a greater defence and can stay with the batsmen for longer.
I was very shocked to see Warne come out before Lee. On the team list, Lee was before Warne but didn't get the gig. I believe Warne is too aggressive and has become the only loose wicket of the entire Australian team, even McGrath has more resistance! What are your thoughts?

The thumbrule for the order of tailenders usually is the their highest career score in the form of cricket. It always isn't fair, but most arguments are settled with this theory. Shane Warne has a 99 in test cricket and that's why he goes in ahead of Lee.
To answer your question, Lee should have come in before Warne. But it wouldn't have made much of a difference.

No way Shane's a very competent batsman and a great bowler. He's earned that right to go before Brett Lee.

After Joeblow and TJ's solutions something I say is going to look inadequate because they're so specified! :) Ian Bothams overall performance at Headingley in 1981 springs to concepts. He took 6 for 95 in Australia's first innings then he scored 50 off fifty 4 balls in England's first innings. He then scored 149 off 148 balls at the same time as England accompanied on, England having been 100 thirty 5 for 7 at one element, ninety 2 runs shy of creating Australia bat back. notwithstanding Australia were set 129 to win yet Botham took the first wicket and Bob Willis also took 8-40 3 because the Australians were bundled out for 111, dropping through 18 runs. interior the subsequent try adventure at previous Trafford, he took 5 wickets for a million run with the Aussies wanting about 50 peculiar at at one element with 7 wickets left. It replaced right into a adventure in which no longer one batsman managed to make a 1/2 century and the Aussies lost through 40 runs or so. yet another nomination should be Laxman's significant innings adverse to Australia at the same time as India received a try adventure through 171 runs having been made to stay with on, a million-0 down in that sequence on the time. India finally received the sequence 2-a million. I also undergo in concepts the West Indies being ninety 8-6 of their first innings chasing Australia's 490. finally the West Indies scored 329 and disregarded the Aussies for extra or less 100 and fifty 2d time of asking. After being one 0 5-5 of their 2d innings at one element, Brian Lara helped to be certain the West Indies through to 312-9 for a quite unbelievable victory. i believe that this adventure occurred interior the 1998/ninety 9 excursion of the Caribbean. i'm no longer deliberately choosing on Australia, that's basically that at one time, it needed those exceptional very almost large human performances if each person replaced into to face a threat of thrashing them.
