Not only did he bowl some seriously fast deliveries, he also bowled a lot of overs in this compilation, which shows what a great athlete he was. Always a treat watching Brett Lee bowl.
Seeing someone like mark wood tire and slow naturally over the innings from 155kph to 140kph makes me appreciate just how freakish of an athlete Brett Lee was aswell. The bloke could bowl 155kph in his 20th over of the day.
I remember watching Brett Lee bowl from side on at Newlands in 2002, Gilchrist taking the ball above head hight 30 yards back,eye-opening I can tell you.
There is nothing like a dew filled morning, little cloud, green patch pitch, white jersey, red ball and bowlers like Bret Lee, Shoib, Mitch Jhonson firing it up.. shymphony !!
But the wickets were taken at the other end - by McGrath. Imagine facing that duo; there was just no relief. Of course when they tired and the ball was old you could relax with Shane Warne ... What an attack Australia had at that time!
It was odd that he got it swinging conventionally here but never during the Ashes. He got reverse swing in England, but never got conventional swing. Got plenty of seam movement though. Also shows why Kallis was such a great player - he was a brilliant judge of what to play and what to leave.
Saw the whole test series on ESPN starsports @March 2006.Great cricketing generation at that time with great like Kallis,ponting and worne.Missing those guys and my old cricket fanticies
In the Brett Lee vs Shoaib Akhtar battle, I'd always rate Brett Lee higher. This video shows exactly why - Brett Lee had this insane ability to swing the ball BOTH WAYS at over 150kph. Shoaib could, at times, reverse swing the ball, but even that was quite a limited ability. Lee, on the other hand, could consistently get the new ball to move both ways at extreme pace. We were fortunate to grow up watching Lee bowl...there's no pacer in the world at the moment capable of swinging the ball even one way at 150+. They can bowl fast - Rabada, Rauf, Umran, Lockie, Wood - they are all capable of bowling at over 150kph, but none of them can swing the ball at that pace. Rabada can swing the ball, but only when he's operating between the 135-145 kph mark. Brett Lee was a gem of a bowler.
In the Brett Lee vs Shoaib debate, five foot tall Pajeets need to keep their mouth shut. Your veggie burger diets mean you havent produced a single high quality fast bowler. Sit down.
A video about Brett Lee bowling fast and then you hear Barry Richards saying "Just as well he wan't around when Thommo was playing".....Barry always said Thommo was scary AF....
4:05 That ball clocked at 165 km/h!! If that is the error from the speed gun then not every ball which is bowl is accurate. Like if sometimes Lee gets 155 km/h then it could be 145 km/h as well.
@@terminator-sb7cv then why that speed errors comes sometimes? I understood what you're saying but maybe sometimes speed radar gets inaccurate at registering speeds
@@terminator-sb7cvbut actually the other balls where also bowled a little around good length that's why it ended in Gilchrist gloves so high but that 165 was just bowled very close to the bowler that's why it ended to GILCHRIST a little dead but i guess their is a chance?
What a strange comment. Which game were players smiling and giggling between every ball? Also in this very video there is footage of the players smiling at eachother between some balls
This spell itself is better than Akhtar's entire career. Had he not bowled 161.3 kmph during the 2003 world Cup campaign in SA, not would have remembered him. Some fans would have remembered him as he used to bowl beamers. On the other hand, Lee have bowled around 6 to 7 deliveries above 160 kmph and the fastest being 161.1 in NZ against NZ. Around 15-20 deliveries he bowled at 159+ kmph. And many above 156 + . I have seen him bowling constantly and continously above 155+ against NZ in the year 2006 I reckon. Plus, his accuracy was superior. Even in the year 2011 he was bowling at 150+ in England. During a Sheffield shield Match in the year 2000, he was at his top most gear and he himself said that one of the bounced deliveries directly hit the side line as it went above the Keeper's head as he had no price getting it. You know who was the keeper??? It was Brad Haddin and in a recent interview Brad Haddin admitted that in that particular match brett bowled one his fastest deliveries and much faster than Shaun Tails 160.6 against PAK and he admitted that Brett was the fastest he had ever kept to. Binga !!
Brett was not just an outstanding fast bowler , he was a really nice guy , I remember he once bowled a sharp bouncer at Kennedy Otieno ,Kennedy otieno tried to leave and the ball struck his elbow , he was hurt and brett rushed to him straight away , he even rushed to see if Alex Tudor was alright after he got struck.
@@belsayshootingground At least you addressed the elephant in the room. I also think the same. It is very difficult to guess the speed by seeing how the ball carries through to the keeper. Many balls don't seem fast from the video. For example even Shoaib Akhtar's fastest ball doesn't seem as fast as the batter dealt with it very easily. That's why some are doubting the speed of this delivery, while others are jumping on the bandwagon to make it an unquestionable truth.
One of the few balls he bowled within the wickets he got one. Others were doing more good for the other bowlers by creating pressure on the opponent batsmen.
@@Whack-j2y Comment with a severe lack of knowledge. What Lee achieved was an ordinary test bowling average of 30+. Even above average Australian bowlers like Merv Hughes have a better test career than Lee. Mitchell Johnson, All of the 3 Australian quicks of today, most good fast bowlers of past Australia have a better career than Lee in the toughest format of the game, Test cricket. Baby? Lee is an average bowler infront of Dale Steyn, one of the greatest ever bowler, 400+ test wkt with an extraordinary bowling avg of 22 & an all time greatest bowling strike rate of 42, performed in every country, in every conditions. Anderson, doing unthinkable for a fast bowler, going great at freaking 40 age, performing even on roads of Asian pitches, claiming no1 rank at 40, nearing freaking 700 wkt being a pace bowler. Lee is nowhere near the bowler these 2 are in the toughest format of the game. I am backing it with facts & stats, not hyperbole. Lee was better than both Steyn & Anderson in ODI though. He won world Cups because he was part of the greatest team & was bowling with McGrath who was the GOAT bowler. After McGrath retired in 2007, Lee became the leader of the bowling attack , Australia started to decline heavily in late 2000s & early 2010s.
Speed Gun was not accurate at all. After a point commentators stopped calling the speed. Leaving that apart spell was just breathtaking from the speedstar🔥

4:05 Really man seriously (hilariously) fast.....
BTW wasn't it supposed to be 156.3?
Proof that he was super fit
There is nothing like a dew filled morning, little cloud, green patch pitch, white jersey, red ball and bowlers like Bret Lee, Shoib, Mitch Jhonson firing it up.. shymphony !!
Believe me this australian team was most dangerous cricket team which come on this planet till now ..
But the wickets were taken at the other end - by McGrath. Imagine facing that duo; there was just no relief. Of course when they tired and the ball was old you could relax with Shane Warne ...
What an attack Australia had at that time!
With out doubt the world s best cricketing nation
There was no McGrath in this series
2:22 😲👏🏻💙 Brett Lee.. swinging and seaming ball out and in on top Gun speed. Legend
that 156km/h holy cow
Look out how many times he crossed the 150 mark....man that's crazy ❤❤❤
That bowling compilation was 8:33 minutes of bliss!! Superb express, accurate, line and length. Throw in some swing and seam movement…unplayable.
It was odd that he got it swinging conventionally here but never during the Ashes. He got reverse swing in England, but never got conventional swing. Got plenty of seam movement though.
Also shows why Kallis was such a great player - he was a brilliant judge of what to play and what to leave.
For me, the Greatest and most perfect fast bowler ever.
Terrific Bowling..At His Peak..He was Terrific Till 2008 Mid..
Who noticed that 165km\h delevery at 4.04m
I’ve no idea what happened with the speed gun
That would have been super quick
Looking at that ball bowled it seemed slow compared to most of his other balls and think it was a gun malfunction
Given the rest of his deliveries were mid 140s I’d say it was a gun malfunction.
The name of the machine was Steve Buckner

4:04 Fastest delivery ever.
there is no way that was 165
I bet binga's average speed was more than Akhtar, he touched the 155 amd 160 mark so many times
so brett leee is best 🔥💥💪💓💜♥️
Absolutely
Without any doubt. I can also bet Tait’s average speed is higher than Akhtar, and is very close to Lee
Just imagine the condition of batsmens of Lee...styen akhter n shane bond playing togather..... OMG....bullets
Super bowling, Brett Lee keeping all his rhythm with him... not letting to batsman..., Super Video...
Not anyone can knock over the great Jack Kallis.
Imagine Lee and Steyn opening together
Be like a Sachin bowling
That would be lethal ❤️🔥
McGrath nd lee both are more enough...
That would be fantastic if you weren't the opening batsmen otherwise it would be crap.
Lee and 2013 Johnson and 1999-2000 Sohaib akhtar

Ohh God my words!😮 its a sensational fast bowling from one of the fastest bowler Brett lee you beauty.

Akhtar has a far better average and SR than Lee in Tests. Akhtar was deadly whenever he played.
Akhtar average and strike rate is better than lee you are Indian that's why you are talking like that
@@syedmuhammadhanzala6389 Akhtar was better in Tests while Lee was better in ODIs

165.3km/hr and no one said anything. Fastest ball in history right there.
If this is speedo meters fault then
161.3
Was accurate?
How we can agree on that
I've always thought that on this video too
Lee was at the peak of his powers in 2005-06. he was fast and accurate!
2002 -06
Sheering above 150kmph easily
Jesus this is brutal bowling
May not be many wickets taken in this video by Brett but it still quite therapeutic to watch
4:06 fastest bowl ever is bowled by binga lee 😮❤
Speedometer problem
@@syedmuhammadhanzala6389 No fastest ball ever...completely disregarded? !!!!!
holy moly
6:37 watch this 143 vs the one on 4:06. That's a speed gun issue. 143kmpr seems quicker
@@pulseofagesboth look faster than Shoaib Akhtars “fastest ball ever”
What a fine bowler he was. Brilliant to watch.
Bret lee in 2024 47 year old😮
Fastest ball delivered by so far is shoaib akhtar 161.1km but Bret lee here delivered 165 km.. don't know its miread or right
It was probably a fault in the speedometer
It was later confirmed as a fault in the speedometer
@@psychm4787the ball from Shoaib Akhtar was? 😂

There were some really goood leaves from AB
What cricket used to be, none of this smiles and giggles between each ball.
What a strange comment. Which game were players smiling and giggling between every ball? Also in this very video there is footage of the players smiling at eachother between some balls
I always see the highlights of Brett Lee and Akhtar. My eyes are only on speed meters. It feels good to see a ball touching 150 kph.
THANKS FOR VIDEO
165 kmph? Batsman tough day. If u put your bat on those deliveries surely out. What a line and length for that speed
Brett lee real speedstar
This comment makes sense.
4:05 Is that the true speed? 165.3 kph?
My god Brett Lee was a scary bowler! A dead seat legend
4:02 😮
South Africa won the toss and chose to bat and immediately regretted that decision
Did anyone read that right???
165.3km??
Apparently that ball is not as fast as Shoaib Akhtar bowling 161.3 Kmph?

4:05 that was 165.. probably a speed gun error
The 161.3
Was also a speedo gun error?
4:06 165.3 km/h! Was that real or just a speed gun error?
165.3 km/h just over the 4 minute mark. Did everyone miss that?
If it were full and carried through the keeper at a serious rate, people might have believed it.

4:05 clearly machine fault, how come it was 165 kmph?
4:06 has anyone noticed 165.3 km/h?
This is called pure and true fast bowling , this is missing these days, the world is full off slow-medium-pacers now
At 4:06 the speed is 165.3 kmph
People, go to 4:03. The reading shows 165.3 km/h eh!!??
Prob was 155. Speed guns were a bit inconsistent back in the day.
4:05 165kmph 😮
At 4.06 the ball speed is 165.3
165.3 km/h was a mistake by technology
4:03 165.3 km/h? I think the speed gun overestimated that one...
That day, Batsmen had luck in their breakfast ..
Brett Lee 🔥
Brilliant bowling
at 4:06 it is showing 165.3 kmph
Brilliant bowling by Lee. Equally exceptional batting by Kallis. That ball which got him out was unplayable.
This is Test Cricket at its best!
