Even though fast bowlers often fall prey to injuries that cut short their career and see them making only sporadic appearances, Australia speedster Brett Lee wants to continue tormenting the batsmen with sheer pace.
Brand ambassador of Timex watch, Brett Lee is in the country to join the watchmaker's 150th year celebration and was addresseing a press conference here today.
When asked about his penchant for bowling fast, Lee said, "It's great to bowl fast. But you have to be accurate to do that. I wanted to bowl real fast for 10 years and I want to keep it up. It's good to bowl near the 160 km-mark. In fact this was my dream and I was very happy when I touched the mark in the World Cup." Brett lee, who himself been victims of ankle and elbow injuries in recent past, said, "Injuries will be there and fast bowlers are more susceptible to injuries. Fast bowling is the toughest job and these days we play lot more cricket. So I work hard on my fitness." The pacer said his side's visit of India later this year would see a "great tour." "Though it would be enjoyable, but it's going to be a hell lot of challenge and I'm looking forward to it," he added.
