If Brett Lee were a Ferrari ... No. There is no if. He is already the fastest in the world, equal with Shoaib Akhtar at a flicker above or below 100mph, and always seems on the verge of striking a body or a wicket. At the 2003 World Cup, during which he took a ferocious hat-trick against Kenya, Lee was a polished star, while Shoaib was a novelty act. It was the same in the 2004-05 VB Series - Lee's pace was blinding; Shoaib's was hamstrung. When Lee releases the throttle and begins that smooth acceleration, the spectator stays his drinking hand. The leaping, classical delivery may produce a devastating yorker, a devilish slower ball or a young-Donald outswinger. Add a dash of peroxide, a fruity vocabulary, a trademark jump for joy, a stylish bat, a streak of sadism when bowling at tailenders, a pop group (Six And Out), and an endearing dedication to a job at a gentleman's outfitters, and you have the 21st century's first designer cricketer - not to mention a priceless pin-up boy.

Brett Lee is Australia's opening fast bowler for cricket.He is still very young and his speed he bowls at, is very scary and he has finally got the length and line right and will be there to bowl for Australia for years to come.Brett Lee used to play for New South Wales in Australia before he called up into the Australian side years ago and needed help with controlling his line plus length as bowling at speeds of 150km-160km ,there were times where balls were going astray,but due to help from great Dennis Lillee he has become dominent bowling in the world today.GO AUSSIES IN CHAMPIONS TROPHY AND ASHES, LOOK OUT POMS WE ARE AFTER YOU THIS TIME

If Brett Lee were a Ferrari ... No. There is no if. He is already the fastest in the world, equal with Shoaib Akhtar at a flicker above or below 100mph, and always seems on the verge of striking a body or a wicket. At the 2003 World Cup, during which he took a ferocious hat-trick against Kenya, Lee was a polished star, while Shoaib was a novelty act. It was the same in the 2004-05 VB Series - Lee's pace was blinding; Shoaib's was hamstrung. When Lee releases the throttle and begins that smooth acceleration, the spectator stays his drinking hand. The leaping, classical delivery may produce a devastating yorker, a devilish slower ball or a young-Donald outswinger. Add a dash of peroxide, a fruity vocabulary, a trademark jump for joy, a stylish bat, a streak of sadism when bowling at tailenders, a pop group (Six And Out), and an endearing dedication to a job at a gentleman's outfitters, and you have the 21st century's first designer cricketer - not to mention a priceless pin-up boy.
While Steve Waugh unleashed him in a dramatic opening of 42 wickets in seven Tests before an elbow operation, Ricky Ponting gave Lee a blueprint for lasting success that doesn't rely solely on bouncers or yorkers. "The way that Ricky has captained my personal bowling over the last couple of years has just been brilliant," he said early in 2006. "Going back two or three years, I wasn't really sure what they wanted me to do." Lee's next statistical goals are 250 wickets and an average below 30, while status as an allrounder beckons after lifting his output to 31 an innings since his return from the wilderness in 2005.
Lee's career hasn't always been easy. He struggled against accusations of throwing, bean balls, stress fractures and other injuries, and had a strangely barren first Ashes series in 2001. Three years later he U-turned from ankle surgery, but was stuck in the pits of the dressing room as he ran drinks and sponges in nine consecutive Tests. He returned to the fold for the 2005 Ashes series and earned plaudits for his never-say-die attitude and brave performances with both bat and ball. He nearly pulled off a win for Australia with a battling 43 at Edgbaston, but his partner-in-crime Michael Kasprowicz fell at the contentious final hurdle. Andrew Flintoff's consoling of Lee seconds after the catch was 2005's defining image.
Lee's 2006 brightened further when he partnered Kasprowicz in a nail-biting win over South Africa that eased the pain of the previous near-miss. It was an important summer as he assumed the role of attack leader when Glenn McGrath first struggled for impact and then pulled out of tours to South Africa and Bangladesh to care for his sick wife. Lee moved into the position he had craved since crashing on to the Test scene with 5 for 47 against India, and he celebrated 89 international wickets for the season with lawnmower, hunting and leaping celebrations.
