Has called it quits on all forms of international cricket. Will still play Big Bash and IPL. May have hung on for a season or two too long, but has been a great servant of Australian Cricket. Could have had a much better record if not for a lot of injuries along the way. It's a testament to him that he kept coming back after every breakdown. http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/thirteen-years-friday-the-13th-its-appropriate-for-me-to-go-brett-lee-retires-from-all-forms-of-international-cricket-20120713-21zzl.html
Body was never going to keep up with the riggors of pace bowling, especially his speed. Was exciting to watch and when you compare the fast bowlers of McGrath/Lee/Gillespey to the last few years you can see a huge gap. Hopefully this new crop can get over their injuries and stick around for a while
