  • Summary: NEW DELHI, INDIA (SEPTEMBER 10, 2003) (ANI) ***CONTAINS FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY*** WIDE OF A PRESS CONFERENCE REPORTERS SITTING (SOUNDBITE) (English) AUSTRALIA'S FAST BOWLER BRETT LEE SAYING: "I hope I am hoping I am going to sort of raise my form. They say most of the fast bowlers don't reach their maturity until the age of about 28, 29. So going on that sort of form and going to have the body fairly as I chase ... I feel I am getting faster and faster and that is proving by the pace I have had for the last three or four years by playing test cricket. I started around 140, 150. Last couple of months I have reached 160 so if the body keeps fairly good and I keep looking after myself on and off the field I think I can go faster. I think ...once one person like Shoaib Akthar has crossed the 160 barrier it has proved to be one point that young fast bowlers think it can be done. I think now that one person has bowled 160, a lot of people would try to get faster and faster." WIDE OF PRESSER
