Ruthless Australian pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Brett-Lee-c48419 opens music academy for underprivileged children in India – Cricket News Update
Australian fast bowler, Brett Lee, shared how his first trip to India in 1994 made him witness the level of poverty in the sub-continent and inspired him to open a music studio for the deprived children.
Lee has recently opened a music studio in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820, where underprivileged children are given music lessons by some of the best in the business.
The fast bowler, who is a big threat for the opposing batsmen in the field, has shown the softer side of his personality through his actions. He shared how he witnessed two completely different lifestyles in his trips to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
''But I'll never forget my first experience of seeing the poverty in India on my very first trip there. I've seen extreme wealth and extreme poverty in India. I guess I'm lucky to have experienced that because if you only see one side you can't fathom those
extremes,'' shared Lee.
Lee burst into the International arena in 1999 and made an early impact at the highest level of the sport. Since then, he has been playing for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in all the three formats of the game, although his career has been badly hampered by injuries.
However, he has been a great servant of Australia cricket as he has taken more than 300 wickets in both Test cricket and the 50-over format of the game.
The 34-year-old fast bowler announced his retirement from Test cricket last year because of fitness problems and now the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 cricketer is only concentrating on the limited overs format of the game.

Lee expressed that he could have opened a cricket academy to help the youngsters but he believes that music can help them better to forget the pain.
“I could have easily helped out through sport or cricket. But music is my passion, my love and I know that music has so many healing qualities and powers. There's been plenty of times when I've used music to pump me up when I've had http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Richard-Griffith-c41953 tasks ahead of me,”
shared the Australian pacer.
