| Given that he has carried a tag as being one of his country's fastst ever bowlers virtually right from the time of his first-class debut in 1995, it is probably no great surprise that Brett Lee has duly became one of the world's most exciting pace bowlers. The younger brother of one-day international all-rounder Shane, he is indeed a thrilling player to watch. He approaches the bowling crease at a brisling gallop from a long run-up, thrusts his fron arm high, and then releases the ball at thundeing speed from a nicely balanced side-on position. The pace that he generates is disarming and it is not uncommon for the speed of his deliveries to be clocked at a rate well in excess of 140km/hr. |
