Brett Lee won't slow down in my opinion till a year at most before he retires!(and that's unlikly)
Steyn,Sharma and Malinga are the pace men of today as far as I can see.
I think Lee is going to be the spearhead of the Aus attack for two years at least.(hopefully more)]]> Sat, 05 Jul 2008 05:19:05 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4321&PID=183225#183225 Brett Lee : No surprise there matey! http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4321&PID=179528#179528 Author: Sledger

He most certainly is!

He has good records against NZ, West Indies, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Against SL and England he hasn't done so well - though these test were at the start of his career- and he's come along way since then.

Let's hope he destorys England when they meet, and can continue that form to the bouncy pitches in Australia. He is well set to become a devastating fast bowler.

i agree his pace is what makes him dangerous and also a good cricketing brain and the desire to succeed. he is a very useful batsmen and has agood eye for the ball. he always wants to give 100% so i cant see him ever toning down he would probably rather retire then hang on till he is replaced. it is great to see him performing at his best as the game seems to be running out of great pace bowlers, bondy retiring from international, harmy never really great too eractic, flintoff injured career could be over as a bowler. malinga is probably the only good pace bowler other than lee i do stand to be corrected though.]]> Sun, 30 Mar 2008 18:58:03 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4321&PID=179238#179238 Brett Lee : Most will disagree with you tkorl,... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4321&PID=179225#179225 Author: 143no

To even suggest Lee should slow down his pace at this point in his career gives not only myself but everyone here and indication of your cricketing knowledge.

You made a mistake. I can accept that, just don't try and cover your tracks my causing an argument with your superiors.

Given the action of other forum members I think you should reconsider who and what you say before you make yourself look like even more of a fool.


Ok, now where did I say Brett Lee should stop swinging the ball, lose accuracy, and variation? When did I advocate changing his action? First of all you absolutely cannot read what is in front of you, and to compensate for this utter cluelessness, you make up things and say, "Look you said this!!!".

My initial assertion was that Brett Lee should focus on becoming a bowler who relies more on "accuracy, swing, and variation" as he will be losing pace as he grows older. Not to mention, due to his smaller frame, it will be more difficult for him to generate a lot of pace consistently at older ages, perhaps causing injuries.

There is nothing particularly novel about changing his game later in his career, Akram and Walsh did it without any damage.]]> Thu, 27 Mar 2008 23:06:54 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4321&PID=179095#179095 Brett Lee : Originally posted by The TykeMaybe... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4321&PID=179094#179094 Author: TKORL

A good bowling attack is all about variation and as it stands the Aussie's have that.


Lee - Extreme Pace

Clark - Metronome Bowler

Johnson - Left Arm Pace


Add whatever 4th bowler you want to that and you have a pretty varied attack. That's why the Aussie bowling attack is successful and hard to play against.


All of them are good bowlers but the key is that they're different styles of bowlers. It's very hard to settle in against the bowlers because they're so varied.



He may be extreme now, but in two years he won't be so extreme. Essentially what I'm saying is that he surpasses the rest of the Aussie bowlers, not just in pace, but in his judgement of line and length as well, and as such is a more talented bowler.

Not to mention that after him Australia has no EXTREME place bowlers. Johnson is F/M, Bollinger is fast but not really extreme, Tait hasn't shown he has the quality yet to make an impact on the bigger stage.]]> Thu, 27 Mar 2008 23:00:52 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4321&PID=179094#179094 Brett Lee : Originally posted by The... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4321&PID=179046#179046 Author: Sledger

  My sentiments exactly Tykey.  Another thing too , nothingto back it up , but I believe Lee would rather stop playing thantrundle in as a Shaun Pollock type bowler. He's an out and out quickieand that's what fires him up.

Its the first time in his career (to my knowledge) that he has gone a good period without a worrying injury, so of course hes bowling better than ever, not having to worry about injuries he just recovered from.

I will give it to him though that he did seem in the mental mindset of being the leading man now.
