Lee out of tri series
Elmo Rodrigopulle reporting from Australia
The good news for the Sri Lanka and Indian batsmen is that they will
not have to face the thunder bolts of Australian pace gun Brett Lee in
the eagerly awaited Commonwealth Bank Tri series 50-over tournament
here.
Lee who was storming in, in the two Twenty20 games against India in
Sydney and Melbourne suffered a broken foot while bowling in the final
Twenty20 game won by India and has been ruled out of the tournament.
Lee was seen steaming in, in the two games working up frightening
pace and the Indian batsmen were not at all comfortable facing his well
directed express deliveries.
Australia will certainly feel his loss. But the pace cupboard is full
of bowlers who are as good as Lee and the Australian selectors will gave
another promising youngster an opportunity to make good.
Cricket Australia team doctor said, “Brett Lee suffered a fracture of
his right foot when he was struck by a ball in the last over of his
spell during the KFC T20 against India at the MCG on Friday night.
