Brett Lee steaming in to bowl was always a sight to behold. "Binga" proved to be the perfect foil for Glenn McGrath during Australia's golden period. His accuracy and raw pace made him an extremely lethal bowler both home and away.

Lee made his Test debut against India during the home series in December 1999, and took his maiden wicket off his very first over. He got rid of Sadagoppan Ramesh, who played on to his stumps. Lee eventually finished with five wickets in the innings, becoming the second Australian after Dennis Lillee to take a 5-fer on debut.
