Mar 10, 2010 BINGA FOR ANOTHER INNINGS WITH ASHA
It has been known since long that chin music is not the only kind of melody that Aussie paceman Brett Lee can generate. While he specializes in bouncers that leave batsmen with a deeper appreciation of helmet visors, Lee is also highly skilled when it comes to strumming and singing. And he wants to again perform with Indian diva Asha Bhosle.

'I would love to work with her. She is an amazing singer,' says Lee, tiptoeing for another gig with his favourite artist.

Mar 08, 2010 SOME LEE WAY
Ever since he stepped foot in India, Australian fast bowler Brett Lee has been swayed by the country. “By the people, the culture, the places, and yes, by Asha Bhonsle,” quips Lee, in the city for Kings XI’s March 13 match. Bhonsle still has a very special place in Lee’s heart and he looks forward to singing more songs with her. “Music is like cricket, you never know whether the gig will turn out good or bad. It is a challenge, just like the game, and that’s what pulls,” he says.

Mar 07, 2010 "I'LL MISS EXCITEMENT AND CHALLENGE OF TEST CRICKET"
He retired from Test cricket to prolong his ODI and Twenty20 career but injury-plagued Australian pacer Brett Lee says he would miss the excitement and challenge that characterises the longer version of the game.

Lee, who is in India to participate in the third edition of the Indian Premier League starting March 12, wants to test his fitness and pace in the upcoming event in a bid to reclaim his position in the national team for the this year's Twenty20 and the 2011 ODI World Cup.

"I am satisfied with my Test career and longevity. All those years were really exciting and challenging for me and I will miss those things. It was a tough decision to call it quit," Lee, who plays for Kings XI Punjab, told PTI.

Just like England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff and Kiwi pacer Shane Bond did before him, Lee decided to sacrifice his Test career to gain maximum from the shorter formats of the game.

The New South Wales speedster has no regrets whatsoever. “I am satisfied with all what I have done in Tests. I am very proud of my achievements in Tests,” said Lee, who is now in India to play in the third edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Mar 04, 2010 LEE LOVES PROSPECT OF RETURNING TO INDIA
Australian fast bowler Brett Lee says he is confident security measures for the IPL will leave no room for worry among the Australian clan of players due to play in the tournament which begins on March 12.

There had been widespread fears over security within the Australian camp after their participation was first threatened by right-wing Hindu group Shiv Sena.

Then followed news that the tournament itself was alleged to be under threat from an Al Qaida network which led to world cricketers' chief Tim May warning of potential withdrawals by several players.

Mar 03, 2010 AUSTRALIA'S LEE, BLOND TERROR WITH A HEART OF GOLD
Australian fast bowler Brett Lee cut a fearsome figure on the cricket field but the tough demeanour masked a gentle temperament that even saw him criticised for being "too nice".

The imposing peroxide blond, who has retired from Tests with 310 wickets, was famous for the second fastest delivery on record, a fist-pumping celebration and his merciless treatment of tailenders.

Mar 03, 2010 LEE WANTS TESTS TO REMAIN ON AGENDA FOR NEWCOMERS
He has just given up the longest form of the game to focus on limited-overs cricket, but Brett Lee does not want young bowlers to follow his lead until they too have forged a Test career.

Asked about Australia's situation in which its top two Twenty20 pacemen, Shaun Tait and Dirk Nannes, had shunned four- and five-day cricket, Lee said those players' decisions were indicative of the increasing emphasis on 20-over cricket.

''I think you're going to find you're going to get specialist players coming in [to cricket] now with the way Twenty20 has taken off. I'd still like to think there'd be a lot of young bowlers out there that want to play Test cricket as well for Australia,'' he told The Age.
