Brett Lee becomes second bowler after Glen McGrath to reach three hundred wickets
The first bowler of the Australian Cricket team who had the status of reaching the milestone of three hundred wickets in one day international matches was Glen McGrath. The second bowler of the Australian Cricket team to reach the same milestone was Brett Lee. After becoming only the second bowler to do so, Brett Lee says that he was proud as well as honored to reach this status. It was in the third one day international match played between the teams of Australia and the West Indies when Brett Lee took the wicket of Darren Sammy. This match was played in Grenada . It was this historical wicket that made Brett Lee reach the figure of three hundred wickets and join Glen McGrath. Three hundred wickets in one day international cricket are considered to be a magical figure. As a result of this wicket, not only did he reach this great milestone, he also obtained another feather in his cap. It took Waqar Younis, who was one of the pace bowlers of the Pakistani Cricket team, fifteen more one day international matches to reach the figure of three hundred wickets, and it took Brett Lee fifteen less. Therefore he also became the fastest bowler to reach three hundred wickets.
On Monday the Australian Cricket team arrived in St Kitts. They have to play two more one day international matches in against the West Indies Cricket team. There were a total of five one day international matches to be played against Australia and West Indies in Australia 's tour of the West Indies . Even though the Australian Cricket team has already won the series, Ricky Ponting, who is the captain, says that they will show no mercy. Out of the five matches which were to be played, Australia has one three and the West Indies has not won any of them. |
