Brett Lee’s Fastest Ball In International Cricket

Former Australian seamer Brett Lee bowled his fastest ball in international cricket during the 5th ODI of Australia’s tour of New Zealand in Napier. He recorded 161.1 km/hr during the fifth ball of the first over to the Kiwi batsman Craig Cumming. It was a yorker-length delivery on the off side and Cumming was completely beaten by the swift pace of Lee. This ball is the third-fastest delivery in the history of international cricket.

Brett Lee is one of the fastest bowlers to play the game. Be it ODI, Test, or T20I, he could click to an excess of 150 km/hr consistently in any format in any conditions. He often deceived and terrorized the batters with his electrifying pace and took many big wickets. His weapons in the armory were speedy toe-crushing yorkers and quick bouncers on the head. The New South Wales fast bowler ended his career as the third-highest wicket-taker for Australia across formats with 310 wickets in tests and 380 wickets in ODIs in his name.
