Coral Sports Book – Brett Lee
Coral Sports Book – Brett Lee has hit out at runours that his test career is on the decline after a Ricky Ponting announced that no bowler’s position in the side can be guaranteed ahead of the second test at the MCG on Thursday.
Lee, who contracted Giardia on the Australian’s tour on India, shed 5kg and performed well below his usually standards and faced harsh criticism from the media.
Upon returning to Australia he captured career best figures against New Zealand in Adelaide and maintains that despite sub par figures against South Africa in Perth he is well on his way back to his best and still has a job to do for his country.
Ponting was well within his rights as captain to give all the bowlers a serve, aside from Mitchell Johnson whose heroics late on the second day sa the test match swing in Australia’s favour before a clinical display from the South African batsmen steered them to victory.
Lee claimed that his relationship with Ponting was as strong as ever and that any differences between the fast bowler and his captain were strictly of a professional nature.
He also claimed that his bowling is on the improve after regaining around five kilos and a bit more sting into an attack that was once renowned as the quickest in the world.
The second test is one of the most anticipated tests in recent history with the Proteas clinging to a one nil and a crowd in excess of 70,000 already booked in for the MCG.
