According to cricket.com AU, Brett Lee said, ,That (160 kmph) means more to me than any wicket. Certainly the team is paramount. Winning the World Cup (2003), winning 16 consecutive Tests. This is the highest achievement. This is what the game is played for. But as far as personal achievements are concerned, taking wickets was not that important for me, because I had set a target of achieving and surpassing the speed of 160 kmph at a very young age. When you dream of achieving something. You dedicate your life to achieving it, and then when that dream comes true, it is very special.,
Lee ended his two-decade-long career with 718 international wickets across all formats. He is counted among the best fast bowlers in the world, because he instilled fear in the top batsmen around the world. Lee said that his physical structure and athletic ability made him naturally skilled to become a fast bowler.
He said, ,For me the run up was most important. After that keep the front foot firmly planted. This is something that you get by birth. I had this quality naturally and hence it benefited me. After this comes the front arm. The sudden lowering of the left arm, which was responsible for my movement. As fast as my left arm came down, my right arm also followed with equal speed.,
He once said that since the age of 9, he wanted to bowl fast. Lee achieved a speed of more than 160 kmph twice in his career. The first time was in the 2003 World Cup in South Africa, where he dismissed Sri Lanka’s Marvan Atapattu in the semi-finals with a ball traveling at 160.1 kmph.
Lee said, ,There was a bit of pressure on us at that time (defending 212 runs) and I had to give my best performance. It was important for me to bowl as fast as possible at a good length. When I saw on the scoreboard that my speed had crossed 160 kmph, it was a very special moment.,
After this, he made the record of bowling his fastest ball at a speed of 160.8 km per hour during the fifth ODI against New Zealand in Napier on March 5, 2005. He said, “You can call it irony that I felt most fit when I bowled my fastest ball (160.8 kmph) against the Kiwis in Napier, but that was a time when I was out of the Test team for 18 months.”
