'Variety important on the sub-continent'


Brett Lee is all set to travel with a bag full of tricks to the sub-continent for the ICC Cricket World Cup.
The speedster who was included in the 15-member World Cup squad on Tuesday said, "The batsmen are trying different things and to counter those shots it's important that the bowler works on the things in the nets and tries things as well, and that's happened for me.
"With the slower wickets it's still important you bowl fast over there but you need the extra bit in your repertoire. It's slower bouncers, wide lines and these types of different balls," the 34-year-old explained.
The fast bowler has developed a slow-ball bouncer that New South Wales coach Matthew Mott described as "one of the best in world cricket."
Ecstatic at his inclusion in the squad Lee, who missed the last World Cup in the Caribbean four years ago, told Sydney Morning Herald, "All the pieces are fitting in the jigsaw puzzle, it's all going according to plan."
"I was hoping to be available and to be chosen and that's happened. As I said, this is a massive moment in my career and one that I'm very proud of," said Lee, second only to Glenn McGrath on Australia's all-time ODI wicket-takers list.
