Considered purely for his bowling prowess Brett Lee might just fall short of greatness, but if one considers the impact of his overall presence on the field, there is no question that he is one of the all time greats. He gives the impression of 100% commitment all the time, whether bowling, fielding or even batting and this athletic exhuberance has to be considered as a good example of how to approach the game. For a fast bowler, he shows just the right kind of fiercely competitive aggression but without ever going over the top and always with a hint of friendliness to the opponents. He always has had my vote.
