How old is Brett Lee?

Look at Brett Lee - he's radical, dudeBrett Lee is nearly 33, but he’s tried to obscure this fact by getting a spiky haircut.

Unfortunately, spikiness is only considered a youthful hair quality among the middle-aged, so Lee’s made an error here. It’s the kind of hair that looks like it should have a Global Hypercolour T-shirt underneath it – and in fact, in that one-day kit, it pretty much does.

That said, he’s still bowling at 95mph, so he’s not quite ready to embrace caravan holidays just yet.

We heartily recommend WG Grace Ate My Pedalo by Alan Tyers

    You would hope he’s old enough to stop doing that ridiculous little-hip-’n-hop celebration, lovingly pictured I see, that is only bettered by Monty Panesar.

    Think that leap goes with the hair, Leading Edge – it’s his skateboard dude look

    I know I’m a married woman, but … photos of Brett Lee taken from that angle are always welcome. Just saying.

    Yes – I’ll just add that photos of Brett Lee from most angles are always welcome……Although in that picture his hair does look naff.

    I think it is time you got a better picture researcher?

    If Lee’s too old for spikey hair then what about Warne and Botham in the commentary box?

    Warne’s is particularly intriguing, it must be said.

    It’s like he’s done fairly normal hair for himself and then thought: ‘Wait! Let’s put in a shit bit in a weird place for no real reason.’
