He added at an International Cricket Council World Cup pop-up event in Sydney, that Josh Hazlewood played extremely well with his 4 wickets for 35 off his 10 overs against Pakistan in the quarter-final in Adelaide, Pat Cummins, who might get his chance here.
He added Australia’s spoilt for choice, they have got the experience, the youngsters coming through, and he reckons they have got a quiet well-balanced squad.
India’s pace bowling attack of Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma, and Umesh Yadav has to the surprise of some cricket legends, been one of the keys to their run to the last four.
Shami is one of the tournament’s leading wicket-taker bowlers with 17 wickets and Lee said that he has been really impressive. He has played a fair bit of cricket with Mohammed Shami over the past couple of years, he is a wonderful person and goes in hard.
Umesh Yadav is the other cricketer that bowls good pace. They have got a three-pronged pace attack who can all bowl quick, who can all bowl up to 145 km per hour.
He concluded saying that they land the ball in the right spot, they have got a really good opportunity of getting wickets.
