He may be the fastest bowler in the world, but Brett Lee does not fit the recognised model of the modern paceman

He may be the fastest bowler in the world, but Brett Lee does not fit the recognised model of the modern paceman. Read his interview in the Sunday Times:
The slate will be clean at 11 o’clock in Brisbane when that first ball is bowled. It doesn’t matter what’s happened recently with England; it doesn’t matter what’s happened recently with Australia, there’s going to be a lot of nerves on both sides on November 23. It’s a love/hate thing. England hate to lose to Australia; we hate to lose to England, but there’s respect on both sides. And there will be some great cricket played.
Also read Robin Scott-Elliot's piece in the same paper. England expect a barrage of bouncers in Australia, he writes, but it will not match up to the assault suffered on the 1974-75 tour.
