Brett Lee Quotations

We spoke about a number of things from conventional swing to reverse swing and different lines and lengths.

We've seen in the papers that we've been smashed by England. All credit to them: they played fantastically well. But if we actually dissect exactly what happened, it came down to a couple of edgy draws and a game where we were beaten by two runs. It was a lot closer than everyone made out.

My plan, when I walked out on to the field on Friday morning, was to just enjoy myself because when I'm smiling and having fun I generally bowl my best.

It's always a fine line. If you overdo (aggression) it's 'ugly Australians', but if you have a smile on your face it's Australia being too nice.

Whatever be the complex situations, the Indian team under Ganguly has moved to great heights. The fact of the matter is that Ganguly is determined to stay focused.

No matter how good or experienced, he [Sehwag] can kill your attitude.

As a Test cricketer you expect that at times you're going to be heckled, and you must have a thick skin.

If u can't get along with Dravid, u're struggling in life

Since the start of the Ashes I have had a hectic workload. I've played almost every game, but I'm thinking that after South Africa and the Bangladesh series I can clock off for two or three months. It's like Friday afternoon for a guy who goes to work all week.

Growing up, you look at guys like Jeff Thomson as heroes, so going past him is pretty special.

You might pitch a ball on the off stump and think you have bowled a good ball and he walks across and hits it for two behind midwicket. His bat looks so heavy but he just waves it around like it's a toothpick.

If you can’t get the wicket of Rohit Sharma, you are struggling in life

It's very challenging. The most important thing you need as a sportsman is to be clear on what you're actually doing.

I bowl my best when I am fittest and the best way to get fit is to bowl. That's how you get your rhythm. You cannot really find a rhythm by bowling in the nets.

Sachin Tendulkar the best yesterday, today and forever

I build myself up with confidence with aggression, and confidence to control the game. If you're the bowler and you've got the ball in your hand you're controlling the game, so you've got to make sure the batsmen knows who's boss.

I am keen on helping Indian bowlers but I am not seeking a full-time role. But yes I am really keen on helping out pace bowlers across the world,

I felt like the rhythm hasn't quite been there the last couple of games. I worked pretty hard in the nets working off my long run.

He's a class act - a bloke that I thought had the perfect action. Just the way he went about his business - he had aggression when he needed it and then he could go back and bowl his line and length. He's a fantastic role model for the kids.

He's a good guitarist and has a nice voice.

Jacques Kallis is brilliant - he's also very patient, and has the ability to turn a match around. When Stuart Clark got his wicket, it set the whole snowball effect going. We were really lifted again - we'd been a bit down for a while because we weren't really playing to our normal standard. But as soon as we got that wicket, we picked up a cog, and that was great.

I think going to that next step of having a specialist batting coach and a specialist bowling coach would definitely be a benefit to us.

I was nervous out there. It was pretty scary towards the end.

Whilst I am disappointed that I can't play the final match in the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy series, I am grateful that I can return home and give priority to getting my health right.

When you are bowling at such a high velocity and trying to get momentum through the crease and try to bowl a yorker you only look at a slight variation in your trajectory to the wicket.

But once I was out there I felt in control of the situation, adrenalin kicks in and you know what your job is, although when Warne is bowling like that it's tricky.

We tried to work on being ruthless, just hitting the top of off-stump consistently.

As I have told earlier, if you compare the body with a petrol pump, I've run out of petrol and running on fumes. I can say I'm pretty empty.

It will go down as one of the great moments in sportsmanship. He could have hugged his mates and celebrated, but he chose to put his arm around me.

It was an interesting experience because we got to share and spend time with other people who have cancer stories. It was definitely somewhat of an emotional experience.

After that Bangladesh series I can clock off, it's like Friday afternoon for a guy who goes to work all week.

I loved it. You couldn't get the smile off my face.

If you're a fast bowler, you are there to bowl fast and knock the stumps over and hit the batsmen,

I reckon he's fantastic. The only thing he needs to do is learn to bowl good length. He's not bowling his yorker enough. The way I understand is that they're being coached to concentrate on the top of the off stump.

But I'm training hard and I've put myself in a position where I hope I can sustain that.

I can be your hero baby . . . I can wash away your pain,
