Lee gets help from McGrath, dreams of Ashes glory
July 3rd, 2009 - 2:27 pm ICT by ANIWorcester (UK), July 3 (ANI): A little help from former Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath has Brett Lee now dreaming of Ashes glory.McGrath popped into the team hotel this week to give Ponting’s men a few tips on knocking over English batsmen.
And it did the trick, as fit-again Lee bagged 5-53 against England Lions to give Andrew Strauss and Co a tasty reminder of his talents.Lee, 32, who last played a Test at the back end of 2008, said: “Glenn was floating through the area. So, myself and a few of the guys went for dinner with him.
“We asked him why he’d been so successful bowling over here. The things he said certainly helped me today.”
The Lions reached 302-6 in reply to Australia’s 358 on Thursday. (ANI)
