LEE STILL AVAILABLE

Australian pace bowler Brett Lee has reiterated that he is still available for selection for the Australian team for the third and final match of the Commonwealth Bank Series against Sri Lanka, with the match essentially becoming a must win tie for The Aussies with The Lions having drawn level after a proper mauling of the famed Australian pace attack in the second final match. Lee injured his right foot during a match in the series and after scans revealed that he had a broken toe, he was advised rest by the team doctor.

But Lee deems himself fit enough for the final match of the series and believes that he can play on with the injury in his foot.  Brett Lee claimed that although the toe still hurts a lot and the fact that it is broken, as revealed by the last X-Ray that he had, he is still eager to don the Yellow-Green jersey of The Aussies and lead the pace attack against the Lankans, who are high on confidence and momentum after their run in the last two matches.

Lee also went to add that if he is selected for the final One Day International match of the series, he will be making a comeback much earlier than anticipated or prescribed but he asserted that if one dreams of playing for his national team and come in its aid in a moment of crisis, one must do that. James Pattinson will probably take the place of Lee in the final match if Lee doesn’t feature in the match, it has been learned.

However, Brett Lee is having a gala time with the ball and he is confident that he can do the job for The Aussies if he is selected for the third and final One Day International.

LEE BOWLS BIG BASH OVER

Brett Lee played his part in helping his BBL franchise, the Sydney Sixers, achieve their aim of winning the first Big Bash League.

Lee struck with two wickets in the very first over of the match, with the first being the very first ball of the game, claiming the key wicket of Herschelle Gibbs by pitching it short and having Gibbs very generously pull the ball straight into the hands of the deep square leg which was in place.

He also dismissed the similarly dangerous Luke Ronchi off the fifth ball of the innings, having him snick off thanks to a short of a length delivery outside off, with a shot that was prompted thanks to the pressure he had built earlier in the over. Lee returned the most handsome figures of all the Sixers team in the final, and was a solid performer throughout their title winning campaign.

It is perhaps thanks to his lengthy experience with the dominant Australian side he was part of for so long which has helped him remain one of the best limited over seam bowlers Australia has at its disposal, all whilst being the tender age of 35. His economy rate in the final was only 5.5 from his 4 overs, which including the 2 keys wickets he took, was exceptional, especially considering the fact that Lee bowled at the death, and how the Perth Scorchers were scoring at an average of 7.8 runs per over.

Lee was not needed in the Sixer’s batting response, as they made fairly light work of the 157 they required for victory, scoring the required amount of runs in just under 19 overs.
