Lee says he is far from finished | Australian speedster Brett Lee has said that he is far from finished, and warned that he will return fast and furious despite calls from legendary West Indies batsman Brian Lara to embrace the guile and tricks the late Malcolm Marshall used in the twilight of his glorious pace
career. "I haven't finished yet. I know that my body has still got a lot left
in it. I will know the time when it is time to move on,'' The Australian quoted
Lee, as saying. Lee, who has been ruled out of the seven-match one day series,
and has returned to Australia because of an elbow strain, said: "Whilst I can
still bowl over 155km/h, and do it consistently and actually feel pretty good,
well I'm going to try and do it because I still have the passion for it, still
love it.'' National chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch has indicated that veteran
Lee is no longer a first-choice component of Australia's Test attack. Lee's eyes
become steely and shoulders pin back at any suggestion his days in the baggy green
or spearhead role are numbered. "I want to get my Test spot back definitely, I
want to keep playing one-day cricket for Australia ... and I love playing Twenty20
cricket, it's exciting,'' said Lee, while promoting Deakin University as a safe
destination for Indian students in Delhi. Lee disagreed with Australian coach
Tim Nielsen that a two-week Champions League odyssey after 11 one-day games in
England and the Champions Trophy was what caused his elbow strain. "I don't think
it's got anything to do with the Champions League,'' affirmed Lee, who made his
Boxing Day Test debut against India in Melbourne a decade ago. "NSW is where I
was born. I had the opportunity to play and I thought it would be the perfect
lead-in Lee believes form should be the only basis for Test selection. |
