Brett Lee

he's form of late has been well documented and I felt with the new responsibility it was time for him to shine- he has, now he has a series against India to test his character.

Good lad , Brett Lee ,I'm glad he's doing the business.

I think he is, why wouldnt he be?

what was Brett lee's fastest delivery.....i wanted to knowthis for a long time

It'll give him plenty of time at home - if he can't bowl quick , he can't bowl for Australia.

They're completely different bowlers - you really have no clue, do you?

Maybe you haven't realised something mate. Brett Lee is the Aussie's EXTREME PACE bowler.

They have Clark to do what McGrath did and if Lee can't keep his pace up then Aus will more than likely look for a replacement, and they normally have one or two waiting in the wings ready to grab that chance.

  My sentiments exactly Tykey.  Another thing too , nothing to back it up , but I believe Lee would rather stop playing than trundle in as a Shaun Pollock type bowler. He's an out and out quickie and that's what fires him up.

Originally posted by bondy Ok. Let's change everything about Lee's bowling action and impetus he gains from consistent pace, accuracy, variation and swing. Let's remodell his action after the most successful summer he's ever had. Ever. McGrath was never quick. He never had to be quick as he extracted seam movement from almost all surfaces - his action also enabled him to be considerably accurate. They're completely different bowlers. 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.

Superiors? Laughable. You came up with a poor response and in place of coming up with reasonable arguments, you contrived to make up things I had never said.


I still do suggest Brett Lee should slow down and focus more on swing. He will be slowing down anyways whether he wants to or not.

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.

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've no problems with the Australian assessment bondy , but the first bit I hope is way off beam!

No surprise there matey!
