From the Vault: Brett Lee saves the day

Australia were in all sorts of trouble when Ricky Ponting threw Brett Lee the ball in 2003's second ODI final against England at the MCG...

[@phrr4553]

As an Aussie born in 86.....looking back....this team is invincible. Every single player I have fond memories of. So fortunate to be an aussie growing up in the 90s / 2000s

[@Rohan-ip2ks]

Jesse Galbraith lucky guy

[@MegaVijay1]

Yes I agree. Cricket back in the 80s-early 2000s is not what it is today. Everything nowadays is for the glory of a fat paycheck to some hot shot media mogul. Big Bash Leauge and IPL have ruined the feel of ODI & Test Match cricket.

[@mangeshinde]

True... mate

[@TheMaverickanupam]

PH RR anybody who saw Australian team of the 90's and 00's was privileged. Massively talented and effortless performers. Two things stood out during that era; when the games hung in balance, one of the players would do something sensational, be it gilly with his explosive batting or Symonds with his fielding. Crucial matches, which were touted as close contests, became one-sided through sheer ability that McGrath and Warne possessed. That team had all world-class players who intimidated and dominated the opposition. The way that Australian team conquered everybody was a sight to behold. Miss those days

152 kmph speed after eaxhausting for 49 overs under such pressure... What else can a man give for nation.. He was a true champion... N in my opinion this Australian team is the strongest team in cricket history... We must also accept one thing.. Hate him or love him.. Ponting was born for captaincy.. Such a great captain of a great team...

[@babeyoulove1883]

No one can argue with you mate. I'm Sri Lankan born and I have nothing but respect for Australia and Australian teams till now .... they were brutal to deal with... Even back then Sri Lanka had a pretty good team. They would pick us apart within the first10 over?

[@The__tarun___sharma]

@@babeyoulove1883 I agree! That sri lankan team was full of legendary players like jaysurya and murlitharan who were nightmares for every team। its unfortunate to see such downfall of sri lankan team। I hope great players will join team and will take sri lanka to top level again।
