Lee played his first ICC World Cup in 2003. He took 22 wickets in 10 matches with an average of 17.91. it was an excellent achievement. However, he could not attend the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World Cup 2007 due to injury problem. Now he is going to lead the bowling brigade
of Australia that has been four times World Champion. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-Gilbert-c52821, says, “Lee has got to be considered in
our top three one-day quicks. He is up there with Dennis Lillee and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Donald-McGrath-c60183, he has to be in the top three. Towards the end of his career, Lillee went from bowling fast to more guile because of his back injuries, but Brett has only ever known one way”.
Lee got retired from Test cricket in February 2010 with an excellent record of 310 wickets in 76 matches to his credit. He left the Test cricket to put more focus and concentration on the ODI format. On his retirement, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dennis-Keith-Lillee-c53639, an Australian pacer,
said, “Brett is going to go down as one of the great all-time express bowlers in the world”.
For his marvelous performance, Lee has won 20 plus prestigious awards. In the history of the World Cup especially and in the history of the ODI format generally, Lee has been the most consistent and successful bowler. Gilbert states, “When Brett bowls, it
is full throttle, he never bowls to hold up and end. To take 600-plus international wickets speaks volumes for his longevity”.
Now Lee is going to bowl on the subcontinent pitches that are considered to be slow. But Lee is committed to bowl well. He is much eager to play this tournament as he missed the last one. The team relies on him. He will surely show up his sterling bowling
skills during the tournament and makes a difference.
