'I would love to work with her.

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.]]> 1267969406 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 08:43:26 -0500 http://www.brett-lee.net/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1267879564&archive= You may also want to see

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).]]> 1267879564 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 07:46:04 -0500 http://www.brett-lee.net/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1267749436&archive=
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.]]> 1267749436 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:37:16 -0500 http://www.brett-lee.net/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1267671557&archive=
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.

But Lee showed a softer side in 2005, when he was famously pictured being consoled by Andrew Flintoff during Australia's first Ashes series defeat in 18 years.

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.]]> 1267671415 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 21:56:55 -0500 http://www.brett-lee.net/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1267466529&archive=
At a time when football lurches ever deeper into the absurd, Brett Lee’s retirement from Test cricket was a reminder of all that is good about international sport.]]> 1267466529 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:02:09 -0500 http://www.brett-lee.net/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1267465474&archive=
England had just gone one down in the Ashes series, but this was not the reason Marsh was jumping up and down like a kid with a new toy. The explanation came in his column of that week. "Just to cheer you up some more," he wrote. "I've just watched the academy side beat Victoria's second team – and I'm in a state of some exhilaration. Fast bowlers always excite me and I've just witnessed one in action. My boys asked me whether I had seen anyone quicker. 'Just one,' I said. 'Thommo.' The bowler in question is called Brett Lee. Remember that name."]]> 1267465474 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:44:34 -0500 http://www.brett-lee.net/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1267237765&archive=
Confusion continues to reign over which Australian players will take part in the IPL from March 12 to April 25 following threats from an organisation called the 313 Brigade, an operational arm of the terrorist al-Qa'ida network.

Following a long battle with injury, Lee announced his retirement from Test cricket yesterday in a bid to prolong his career but he needs to play in the IPL if he is to break into the Australian team for the Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies starting in April.]]> 1267237765 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 21:29:25 -0500
