\u201cI missed so many games, but to (bowl so fast for so long) meant I\u2019d looked after my body. I\u2019ve always trained the hardest I could. I\u2019ve always done everything at 100 per cent. It takes a toll.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou dedicate your life to running in and trying to bowl fast for as long as you can.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think back to when I was nine years of age and that\u2019s what I wanted to do. I wanted to bowl 160km\/h and play for Australia. To be recognised in this way is very nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

His popularity also spreads international, having a cult-like following in India and a successful band called \u2018Six & Out\u2019 which will come to an end in January, Lee revealed.<\/p>\n
In reflection, Lee was simply proud to have played alongside some of the greats of the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo think I even took one wicket with Warne and McGrath \u2026 playing with those legends and to just be picked in the XI was an honour,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel so lucky. I played my whole career against Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara and Jacques Kallis, the three best cricketers to ever play the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Australian cricket hall of fame chairman Peter King said also congratulated Lee on his monumental achievement.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrett Lee\u2019s induction into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame is richly deserved.\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was not only one of the fastest and most exciting bowlers the world has seen, but also an outstanding ambassador for Australian cricket. <\/p>\n
\u201cBrett\u2019s impact transcended statistics \u2014 he inspired fans around the world with the way he played the game, the respect he showed opponents, and the pride he took in representing his country. <\/p>\n
