Lee injury scare

The Australian - February 17, 2005

Australian fast bowler Brett Lee had an injury scare while training for tonight's historic Twenty-20 match with New Zealand in Auckland.

Lee has bruising beside his right knee after copping a nasty blow while batting in the Eden Park nets this morning, but coach John Buchanan said he will be considered for selection.

Australia won't decide its team for the first-ever 20-over-a-side international until just before the 5pm (AEDT) start.

Buchanan wants his batsmen to play with freedom in the crash and bash abbreviated game after struggling for consistency in the recent one-day tri-series in Australia.
