Brett Lee singles out Jasprit Bumrah as the Indian bowler who has impressed him the most. “I LIKE HIS ACTION, it is different but he can get a lot faster if he fixes his front arm,” he tells ARJIT DABAS.
Brett Lee was one of the few bowlers who genuinely bowled fast and never compromised on his pace. “I never cut down on my pace; I believe if you are there to bowl fast you have to bowl fast. If your top speed is 148 kph, you bowl at 148 kph. There is nothing exciting for me bowling at 138 kph,” the former fast bowler said with a laugh.
Lee, now the mentor of TNPL team Ruby Kanchi Warriors, said: “I will first listen to what the players want to learn. I will also learn something from them and pass on my knowledge which I got from the likes of Glenn McGrath and Dennis Lillee.”
Talking about fast bowling and injuries, Lee said you have to be physically and mentally strong to perform at the top level. “A lot of bowlers are getting injured due to over training as well as under training. Either the teams get their bowlers to bowl till they hit the ground or they just bowl 20 balls.”
