FROM BACK PAGE "WE CERTAINLY look at the conditions first and work out what we need from there." Lehmann insists sub-140km/h rivals were considered for Hobart. Coulter-Nile, 28, hasn't played a first class game for Western Australia in 10 months but Australia is desperate to replace the firepower lost with Mitchell Johnson retired and Mitchell Starc grounded. 
"We think he has got something special, his one-day record for us has been exceptional," said Lehmann, backing Coulter-Nile's express work taking 22 wickets at 26.5 in 13 one-day starts.
Lehmann dismissed pessimism about the nation's pace stocks.
"It's really about who takes their opportunity. James Pattinson has worked pretty hard over the last 12 months to get back, he's in some good form, fresh and ready to go, I'm sure he will do well." Hazlewood, 24, could be rested for the first one-day game against India on   January 12 in Perth.
Lehmann indicated a preference to field Hazlewood in each Test against the West Indies. "There is a decent break between the first and second Test. There's no issues there. If they are fit to go, pull up all right they play." Australia's suspect middle-order is of more concern than dwindling bowling stocks for Lehmann. Adam Voges (13), Shaun Marsh (2) and Mitch Marsh (4) all failed in the first innings of the day-night Test against New Zealand while David Warner and Usman Khawaja shared five tons in Brisbane and Perth.
"Obviously the first two Tests our top order did most of the work," Lehmann said. "I'd like to see our middle-order make some more runs. It's time for those guys to step up." Jerome Taylor snared eight wickets at 20 in the two-Test series against Australia during   June in the Caribbean and Lehmann says the visitors shouldn't be underestimated."They bowl very well, they have got a good bowling attack ... we certainly can't take them lightly."
