Lee Retires

Lee > Twatto

It's hard to separate them:

It's easy. Lee isn't a total ***** like Twatto.

But who is singing the worst song there?

He was definitely better in ODIs, but you still fancied to get a fair few runs from his bowling imo.

He was actually surprisingly economical in ODIs, better than Steyn for instance. And his strike rate was ridiculously good.

I used to enjoy watching Lee bowl at full tilt he was veery captains dream an out and out pace sensation, having read Gilly's book he also comes over as a very genuine guy.

Bloke was box office. There were more effective bowlers, but few who'd make for more entertaining passages of play when bowling.

Arguably the best seamer in the world for a brief 18 month period after McGrath retired too.

Testament to his likeability that he sent down more beamers than any other bowler ever (fact) and we all still think he's a good bloke.

You wouldn't have said so at the time because he was new, but in hindsight that was Steyn. Announced himself on the world by taking shedloads.

Always liked Steve Waugh's comment, given the type of fans, that he wouldn't mind being Brett Lee for a day.

Lee was a great limited overs bowler. A true ATG in ODIs.

As a test bowler he was good, had a period of greatness, and for the most part fulfilled a role of being able to just bowl ****ing quick and attempt to intimidate while Warne, McGrath and Gillespie worked around him. Part of one of the best bowling combos ever.

Yep there is no doubt that Lee was a better ODI bowler than Steyn ever was

Lee > Twatto

Yeah whenever I think of Lee this pops in my mind, brings back childhood memories.

 

[Smudge]

Brett Lee the greyhound > Brett Lee the cricketer.

The fact that his name sound's like a tacky 1970s brand of menswear always coloured my view of him

This thread just got a little strange.
