Brett Lee
Cricket World Cup Winner
Brett Lee is widely regarded as one of the greatest exponents of pace bowling. Throughout his career, Brett attracted a cult following. Brett delivered one of the fastest deliveries of all time. His quickest delivery was 161.1 km/h (100.2 mph) in 2002.
Brett finished his Test cricket career with 310 wickets, and his One Day International career with 380 wickets. At his best he gained out-swing with the new ball and reverse with the older one. Brett’s unique charging run-up and leaping celebrations added to the theatre for a bowler who made an instant impact on the International game when taking five wickets on debut at the MCG.
A gentleman off the field, Brett was aggressive on it and rarely went over the top, although his bouncers at the tail-enders were uncomfortable viewing. Mostly he was a shining example to young players in all forms of the game.
Brett featured in the Australian team that won the 2003 World Cup was a key part of the dominant era of Australia cricket in the 2000’s. Brett won the Allan Border Medal in 2008 which is highly regarded as the most prestigious individual award in Australian cricket.
After playing for Australia, Brett was part of a few T20 franchises around the globe including the Indian Premier League (IPL). He played for the Kolkata Knight Raiders and was a member of their victorious team in 2012.
In January 2015, Brett announced his retirement from all forms of the game. Brett now plays a major role in the cricketing media around the world and has several business and philanthropic interests. Brett is the founder of his own Foundation; ‘Mewsic’. The charity Provides music therapy to children suffering from cancer. Brett is an avid family man, father, husband and music lover.Â
