Brett Lee is one of the most exciting fast bowlers, in present era of International cricket. He has a huge reputation for his fiery out swinging delivery to fast bowlers and he is almost a treat to watch with a new ball, a role, which was conferred to him, after the retirement of greats like Mc. Grath.He made his test debut back in 1999 and his ODI debut occurred exactly the succeeding year and has played more than 76 test matches and 173 ODI matches since then and has taken 310 wickets in test matches and 303 wickets in ODI.

He was also mostly in and out of the Australian XI, which had great names like Glenn. Mc. Grath, Michael Kasprowroicz and Jason Gillespie.

He has taken the mantle of leading Australian pace attack ,after the retirement of great bowlers in Australian jersey and in fact he was awarded the test player of the year and Allan Border Medal in year 2008, which speaks the way he led by example for his fellow Australian bolers.
He is no doubt termed as a man with golden arm, with an amazing strike rate of below 30’s (i.e.) 29.2 in ODI, which croons volumes about his striking ability to floor the opposition batting line up.
He has 10 ten wicket haul in test matches combined with eight five wicket haul in ODI’s, which showcases his match winning abilities. The fact that he has been the part of the bowling line up, which won the world cup twice, is more than enough to prove his calibre in world cricket.
He was said to be gutsy, even with his willow, where he averages around 20’s in test matches coming in eight down. He orchestrated several performances with bat and won it for Australia and his partnership with fellow bowler kasprowicz, to contrive a nail biting win over south Africa in 2006 is perfect example for it.
He has played only 13 T 20 international matches, so far and taken twelve wickets. He played for Punjab kings XI last year in IPL and fared well. Brett lee sustained a foot and ankle injury recently which kept him out of present South African series, would be desperate to make a claim to ashes side, by performing well for Punjab kings XI without any doubt.
