Former Australian pacer Brett Lee in a fun prank, went undercover as a 'ragged old man' to play cricket with children.
The 41-year-old went under elaborative make-up to change his get up, sported white wig, white beard and then headed to a park. The former ace bowler can be seen taking tips from kids, pretending to be a rookie. After few loose shots and balls, he showcases his real skills with the bat and the ball to surprise the kids.
Lee, also called Binga, is recently associated with the commentary panel of the Indian Premier League 2018 edition. He also sits as the studio expert in Star Sports' show 'Dugout'. While Lee constantly gives analysis, expert comments during this season of IPL, it appears it made him itch for some cricketing action.
Brett Lee was one of the most feared bowlers in the world of cricket during his playing days. During the Australian bowlers' prime, he used to hit the deck with more than 90 miles per hour speed on a consistent basis. Due to his pin-point, accurate yorkers toes of the batsmen were not safe.
He hung up his boots from international cricket in 2012 but only after taking 380 ODI wickets, 310 Test wickets and 25 T20Is wickets. Since then, Lee has kept himself busy with different activities such as acting, music and recently picked up the mic to do commentary.
The video of the same has been posted by Star Sports. "A ragged, old man turned up at a local park to play cricket with the kids - little did they realise it was none other than @BrettLee_58," said their Twitter handle.
After he revealed his identity there was a swarm of kids thronging him for autographs. It seems that the bowler still has some miles left before totally being worn out.
