Former Australian pacer Brett lee equated his country's pace attack for the upcoming Cricket World Cup at home to the “biggest wolf pack" he has ever seen, claiming that it poses a serious threat to the rival teams in the mega-event. Mitchell Johnson is the leader of the pace quartet comprising the in-form Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, all capable of touching the 150 kmph mark.
“The thing that excites me is if you look around the world there's not many bowling attacks that have serious pace. And we've got four guys who can bowl touching 150,” lee was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald. “Johnson, let's park him aside because he's a genius. He's always the first picked, he's the leader of the attack, he's the guy that can dominate, it's very important he can run in, bowl aggressively and bowl fast, dominate and lead.
“Then you have Hazlewood, Starc, Cummins, who can work around Mitchell Johnson and make it the biggest wolf pack that we've seen. It's exciting for me,” he added. “They're all pretty tall, too. They're all big, big boys. Someone at 6'5 bowling at 150 ks an hour, I know where I'd rather be — standing at mid-off watching them do it,” said the once fearsome fast bowler.
