CARNAGE! Vintage Brett Lee makes a mess of India | From the Vault

A career-best return (24 wickets at 22.58) from Brett Lee proved decisive, as Australia edged India 2-1 in the 2007/08 Border-Gavaskar Trophy and Lee took home Player of the Series honours.

2005 - 08 was when he perfected his craft. Still managed to bowl 150-155 clicks but with much more control and skill. Who didn't wanna be Binga growing up! A cricketing icon!

[@relevantbrother8964]

@shahmianas8512 No, that's incorrect. Lee wasn't capable of 150-155 clicks at this stage.. In fact he never registered those types of speeds in this series, more in the 140s, up to high 140s. In fact after the speed tracking calibrations changed, both Lee and Shoaib fell in pace by 5kph...which means the modern days guys like Wood and Nortje would have been high 150s top speed back when Lee and Akhtar were measured at those speeds prior to the change in measurement.

[@musk5160]

@@relevantbrother8964 Actually champ, you are incorrect. The yorker wicket, for one example, was clocked at 151kph. You probably should fact check that rubbish you posted because it’s categorically false. Lee was in-fact managing to hit speeds in excess of 150kph during this era. It was these speeds paired with his increased accuracy and length that managed to put him among the best in the world from 05-08. Please don’t try and correct people with incorrect information.

Lee had lost some pace but was still in the mid to high 140s and often used the new ball, got outswing. Biggest thing is the way genuine pace scrambles footwork with so many caught in the crease.
