Australian fast bowler,
Brett Lee, has brought an end to his cricket career after declaring his
retirement from Twenty20 cricket on Thursday at the Sydney Cricket Ground
(SCG).
The 38-year-old speedster said goodbye to international
cricket in July 2012. At that time, he was the fourth highest Test wicket
taker of his country- with 310 wickets in 76 matches. Playing 221 ODIs, he took
380 wickets. In one-day internationals, he along with Glenn McGrath is the
leading wicket-taker for Australia
Though he quit
international cricket, he continued playing Twenty20 franchise cricket for Big
Bash League (BBL) and Indian Premier League (IPL). As he has announced
retirement from Twenty20 cricket, it indicates that the only remaining match of
his team, Sydney Sixers, against Sydney Thunders on Thursday could be his last
match.
He is one of the three
fast bowlers in cricket history who have bowled at speed of 161 kilometres per
hour mark (100 miles per hour).
