brett lee

Brett Lee (born 8 November 1976 in Wollongong, New South Wales) is an Australian cricketer.After breaking into the Australian Test team, Lee was recognised as one of the fastest bowlers in world cricket. In each of his first two years, he averaged less than 20 with the ball, but since then has mostly achieved figures in the early 30s.He is an athletic fielder and useful lower-order batsman, with a batting average exceeding 20 in Test cricket. Together with Mike Hussey, he has held the record for highest 7th wicket partnership for Australia in ODIs since 2005–06 (123).[
Lee is a fast bowler, one of the fastest the game has known. Lee's fastest recorded delivery to date is 161.8 km/h (100.5 mph) which he bowled in a test match against West Indian, Courtney Walsh, caught by Justin Langer at short leg. This was the last wicket to fall ending West Indies innings at 82 runs. It is the fastest recorded ball to date but was debunked right after an hour as three radar guns were not properly aligned and the back up radar gun recorded the speed in 150s only.
