The speed breaker brett lee

This 31-year-old needs little by way of an introduction. One of the very few truly express bowlers in modern cricket, he often touches 160 kmph. Apart from being the spearhead of the Aussie bowling attack, he has been a Wisden Cricketer of the Year and a World Cup winner. We all know he loves to strum a guitar, but what do we know of the real Brett Lee? Here’s an exclusive look into what the man likes.

Greatest Achievement
It has got to be playing for Australia. I'll never forget the happiness I felt when I first put on the baggy green cap.

Treasured Sporting Moment
The second Test of the 2005 Ashes series. Although we lost the match by 2 runs and England won the series, to me that match is what Test cricket is all about. It was a fantastic series.

Favourite Memory
Making my Test debut against India in 1999. I was walking out onto the field behind my brother Shane, and it was a wonderful moment for us. We'd dreamt of playing together for our country when we were kids.

Best Way to Relax
When I'm by myself and playing the guitar or the piano. That is when I?fm truly by myself and don't have to worry about anything.

Favourite Musicians
I might get sledged for this by my teammates but I like all kinds of music. I love Mozart and Beethoven. Apart from this, I love the music of Elton John, Metallica and Bon Jovi. Depending on my mood, you might also catch me listening to the Backstreet Boys.

A Little-known Fact
I?fve done a small role in the movie Babe. I was one of the pig handlers.

Gadget Companions
I carry my laptop with me and you'll never catch me without my iPod.
