Brett Lee (born 8 November 1976) is an Australian former international cricketer, who played all three formats of the game. During his international career, Lee was recognised as one of fastest bowlers in the world and one of the best limited overs fast bowlers.
Lee regularly bowled faster than 150 kilometres per hour (93 mph) during his career. His fastest delivery in test cricket was recorded at 165.3 kph/102.7mph against South Africa, although that was almost certainly a mistake by the Radar gun. His quickest delivery in one day international cricket was 161.1 km/h (100.1 mph) against New Zealand.
In each of his first two years, Lee conceded fewer than 20 runs for every wicket taken, but later recorded figures in the low 30s.[1] He was an athletic fielder and useful lower-order batsman, with a batting average exceeding 20 in Test cricket. Lee finished his Test career with 310 wickets, and his One Day International career with 380 wickets.
Lee played for the Australian team that won the 2003 World Cup. He played his first Test in 1999 and retired from international cricket on 12 July 2012. He subsequently declined to renew his contract with his home state side New South Wales, but continued to play Twenty20 matches for several seasons after, notably in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Big Bash League.[2]
In January 2015, Lee announced his retirement from all forms of the game, effective at the end of the 2014–15 Big Bash League season.[3]He is currently a film actor and a Fox Sports commentator.
