Lee was never a problem in the side – Steve Waugh – Cricket New Update
Legendary Australian all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Brett-Lee-c48419’s discipline and approach to the game, saying the veteran pacer “was never a problem” in the side.
“I think the great thing about Brett was the enthusiasm and the love of the game he always brought to the team,” the 47-year-old former Australian skipper was quoted as saying by the
Sydney Morning Herald on Friday.
“He had a great attitude…he was never a problem in the side, never stepped out of line or was an issue for any captain to look after…and he gave a lot to the team,” Waugh further added.
Steve Waugh, under whom Lee kick started his international career 13 years ago, said that the fast bowler has inspired many kids, including his own son, to take up the game. Waugh also said that it was Lee’s “infectious” attitude and passion for the game
which made people follow his footsteps.
Brett Lee, the 35-year-old http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 born speedster, called it a day on his 13-year-old international career today, Friday, July 13, 2012. The right-arm fast bowler had retired from the Test format of the game in February 2010 to extend his limited-overs
career. Since then, he has been a valuable player in the shorter formats, for his country as well as various domestic teams around the globe.
Lee’s international career has been threatened by numerous injuries, but he bounced back every time quite impressively. However, the latest calf injury, which he sustained during the fourth ODI against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Durham-c782 last weekend, turned out to be the
career ending one.
"...you ask yourself a lot of questions when you've been injured or been through tough time," said Lee while announcing retirement on Friday morning. "It's been the last two or three nights I have thought about it a lot. I woke up this morning and I knew
this was the right day to do it,” he added further.
With 380 wickets from 221 One Day Internationals, the New South Welshman quits the game as Australia’s joint leading wicket taker, with former teammate http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Donald-McGrath-c60183.
