Australia v Pakistan - 3rd Test: Day 5

#2 Brett Lee

Australia v Zimbabwe: Group A - 2011 ICC World Cup

Brett Lee first arrived on the international stage back in 1999 and became a superstar straightaway, after picking up a five-wicket haul on his debut against India in the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne. Before long, the tearaway quick became a fixture in the Australian side across the two existing formats at the time and when T20 cricket came along, he naturally became the spearhead of the attack.

However, his bowling was not actually about raw pace, otherwise, he would not have survived in international cricket for thirteen years. Lee could move the ball, either way, extract seam movement, and had a superb yorker that made him one of the best bowlers in limited overs cricket. He played in as many as 322 games for Australia across formats and picked up a staggering 718 wickets, at an average of 26.66. Lee had an economy rate of 4.06 and strike rate of 39.3.
