Australian Fast Bowler Brett Lee on his way back
Australia’s sidelined fast bowler Brett Lee is on a crusade to get his name back in the national squad for the upcoming Cricket World Cup. Lee has been out of the One Day International squad since 2009, when he played against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750
in October. Since then, the speedster has been struggling with his form and fitness, which has made it extremely difficult for him to make a comeback in the national team.
Lee has had an injury-ridden international career. In the past, Lee has been written off many times, but the Australian speed gun always managed to make an impressive comeback.
Brett Lee is hoping to make yet another mind blowing comeback for Australia and has been working very hard to improve is fitness and recover from his recurring injuries.
At the peak of his career, Lee was considered as the fastest bowler along with Pakistan’s Shoaib Akhtar. However, both these freaks of nature have paid a heavy price for their speed by suffering numerous injuries. In addition,
just like Shoaib Akhtar’s recent comeback, Brett Lee also wants to make a comeback, so that he can have one last shot at playing the world cup.
Brett, who is showing good signs of fitness, is bowling really well for his domestic side, New South Wales. The signs of his return to full form caught the eye of everyone when he clinched five wickets against Western Australia
at the WACA in a cliffhanger. Lee helped http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 beat the Western Australian side in a very tight finish.
Lee bowled the last over and completed his five-wicket haul, leaving http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Western-Australia-c865 7 runs short. Brett performed when his side had almost lost the game, but Lee managed to shift the pendulum in his team’s favour.
A match winning bowling performance is exactly what Lee needs to get the attention of the Australian selectors before the World Cup.
After picking up five wickets, Brett Lee, along with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stuart-Clark-c2591, has become the second most successful wicket taker in the Ryobi Cup, with a total of eleven wickets.
The Speedster played an extremely important role in the 2003 Cricket World Cup, where he grabbed 22 wickets with an average of 17.90. During the tournament, his best performance was revealed against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754, where he took five
wickets for forty-two runs in a super-six encounter.
In the last few years, Brett Lee has been struggling with his personal life as well. His marriage fell apart, which affected his game largely. In 2006, Lee married Elizabeth Kemp. The couple were married for two years, but in 2008,
Lee confirmed that they had separated and in 2009, the couple officially got divorced. Both http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lee-c72382 and Kemp have a son.
Looking at Lee’s recent resurgence, it is quite evident that the pacer wants to represent Australia again and has recovered from the emotional and fitness traumas that he had been plagued with in the last couple of years.
