why would you want to egg on one of the fastest and deadliest bowlers ever to play and brett still bowling 90-95 mile an hour 145-150 ks my god what a champ
@flamingfrancis I haven't seen much of the Legends tournament, but it seems to be pretty fair dinkum. Having that competitive outlet is important for retired players.
No ,piers was saying the England team were playing like pussies vs the short /bodyline stuff the Aussies were dishing out,Lee was just demonstrating how hard it really is.
But Piers showed more ticker than a lot of them. Granted, he knew he only had to face 6 balls. But he didn't shirk away from that contest at all. He actually got some respect from me
Still funny that this actually happened. I bet Piers thought that he wasn’t going to go that hard at him. 5/6 balls were just trying to hurt him, 1 ball was trying to bowl him. Well done Lee!
Having watched this more than once, I think that the ball being used is a practice ball as opposed to a day/night white cork ball. i.e the ball being used is most likely non-lethal despite being bowled at 90mp/h by virtue of it being softer than a cork ball. However, even a tennis ball hitting you at that speed will definitely leave a mark in the morning
COWARD and that is the worst place to go if the bowler knows that you are a coward i.e back off to square leg. Lee knew that he was frightened and followed him with nearly every ball. The commentators were far too complementary to the big mouth chicken liver.
How did people find this video? Literally not a single person in the comments knows what cricket is or who Brett Lee is, but somehow they're still watching and commenting... how?!
Funny how times change. All the modern day cricketers thought this was hilarious. A lot of the gentlemen from Cricket's yesteryear condemned this as a dangerous pantomime. To be fair, they probably had a point. The visor doesn't really offer much protection if the ball hits you full on. Just ask Daniel Flynn after what Jimmy Anderson did to him. If this was anyone other than Piers Morgan, I'd probably condemn it too. As a low level club cricketer myself and having faced an 80 mph bowler on a couple of occasions, I can't get my head around how a non-professional has any chance at all of facing Lee's pace. Admittedly, Lee's days of bowling 90 plus were long at this point, but I'd guess it's still mid to high eighties. I'd say the chances of coming away from this with an injury is very real as the untrained eye can't get out the way quick enough. I'm just glad it was Piers Morgan facing it and not a nice person.
But Piers did it of his own accord no one forced him. It's the risk everyone takes. Sean Abbott isn't as quick as Lee and he killed someone, it's just the risk you take.
anders christopherson Very true. That wouldn't stand up in other sports however. A normal person wouldn't be allowed to get in the ring and ask to go an adulterated round with Vladimir Klitschko, just because they wanted to. The point of a sport being professional is that you are licensed and considered able to compete on a level playing field against your opposition. As you rightly say, Sean Abbott killed someone of International pedigree, so how is it allowed that an amateur can get up there to have a go, just because he wants to? For the record, I don't like Piers Morgan at all and I personally enjoyed watching it. That said, I'm not sure it's really a good advert for entertainment.
I think Brett was well capable of bowling 90+ here, there's a vid of an Australia/Ireland odi from around this time where he was hitting 91mph. Just six balls to let rip, he wasn't holding back :)
I can assure you it’s terrifying to be on the receiving end of that kind of bowling. A cricket ball is basically a rock that bounces, and here it’s hitting his body at 70-80mph
Mark: "Piers, after this we have a mystery spinner to face you off" Piers: "A spinner?! BRING IT ON!" Mark: "Sure. He goes by the name of Jeremy Clarkson."
He has been blown all over the ground many a times by batsmen. This man in the nets turns out to be quite an old man with no ability to bat whatsoever. This act is absolutely disgusting.
If you offer that you can stop a running away truck with your head, doesnt mean that you should be put up in front of it to bang it. What do you expect ? Bret Lee has been many a times hit out of the ground by capable batsmen from other countries. He has shown himself to be a jerk by doing what he did in this video. I have no respect left of him whatsoever; infact I despise him for this.
This video was uploaded before Phil Hughes died. I wonder whether this sort of a challenge would have taken place had it happened after Phil's incident. The bouncers bowled by Lee seemed scary, Piers helmet too looked very substandard.
I doubt Morgan though he was lucky when he suddenly realised he had just agreed to a fast bowler to bowl at him a hard round missile that might hit his body at 90 Plus miles per hour. He could easily have been seriously injured in this as Piers is not a test match standard batsman. I think he is lucky he got through this without getting seriously injured.
Don't know the law in Australia, but you can't be assaulted in the UK as a consenting participant in sport, unless the action falls outside of the rules i.e. A footballer punches another player. Bouncers are a part of cricket. Piers got what Lee lawfully gave him...
UK with this level of irritating law cases (people taking legal action for silly things) is bringing its economy down........ I dont think UK can pay benefits to it't citizens after 5 years....
Yes, that is correct in Australia also. By participating in sport is giving consent to possible injury means you are unable to sue for negligence or other legal action.
What did everyone expect to happen? Piers Morgan is just the big mouth/egotistical/opinionated type with no actual tangible ability. If you don't have genuine batting talent, then you've got zero chance of seeing the ball, until it's too late, when the bowler is sending them down at you at around 90mph. Brett Lee was effectively bowling bodyline here and Morgan clearly didn't even know the correct position to take, let alone possess the actual skills needed to effectively deal with such bowling.
That’s your opinion / maybe compare Brett with some of your Indian pacemen like srinath prasad Abey Kuruvilla Debashish Mohanty A Agarkar these were the pacemen around at the time Brett was in his prime or you can add Zaheer Khan Irfan Pathan sreesanth all these bowlers are capable of bowling above 90mph and caused havoc in there prime the world batsmen feared these express pace bowlers 🤣🤣🤣 it’s obvious Shoaib Tait weren’t in there league in your opinion right !!
It's so tough to make yourself stay in line as an amateur against that pace, but backing away to leg looks ridiculous. That must be 10 or 20 mph quicker than anything I ever faced... I used to get so far across to the off side that I got myself in a tangle.
Totally agree, not a good over, but Lee was proving a point. After all, Morgan boasted he could play fast bowling better than the English batsmen, a statement Lee took great exception to as he always had great respect for his fellow cricketers.
Love how Brett just doesn't not hold back at all!
Yes. Lads I love your channel!
@@rayanreactz5351 Same
I did the 200 .
Well his bowling has only 1 speed 150 😆
We also love how Piers Morgan gets bodied by Brett
This ages like wine. I only wish Brett had gone harder.
The only time I cheered for an Aussie bowler ever.
Ben Brown Won't even argue because it's true
Me too but he showed courage to face the fastest bowler in history.
Mm... so who is?
Ian Ng
Ian Ng Brett Lee was awesome
Maybe Piers could do something with an Australian rugby player next?
Lets have him try to tackle Ma'a Nonu or The Beast a few times maybe
chappis268 Or Greg Inglis
pk the way Australia are playing at the moment.. I don't think he would be too worried
pk u
I would have liked to have seen him in the ring with Mike Tyson.
Whenever I feel a bit down in the dumps, I come back to this clip and it cheers me up.
Alternate this with him falling off the Segway so neither gets stale.
Revisiting this after Piers’ latest antics in the 2023 ashes 😂 he needs another dose of this
Yes...but even Thommo or Lillee would be enough to give him a few skid marks, even these days.
why would you want to egg on one of the fastest and deadliest bowlers ever to play
and brett still bowling 90-95 mile an hour 145-150 ks my god what a champ
Brett Lee isn’t even in his prime, and when you see him bowling at such great pace....you feel chills sitting on your couch 😰
I think he was still playing for the Sydney Sixers back then? Or he'd just retired.
i reckon Pies inspired him
@@andrewpelechaty7634 Brett recently Captained the Australians at the World Legends tournament..still keeps active.
@flamingfrancis I haven't seen much of the Legends tournament, but it seems to be pretty fair dinkum. Having that competitive outlet is important for retired players.
I say this as a Brit - Brett Lee what a legend.
this the only time ive been upset by the introduction of helmets
Hey yo are you sadistic
@@morjithmattapalli9531 I wouldn't necessarily prefer a slow death, a quick painless one would do👍👍
Would not make any difference to Morgan with his thick head.
No ,piers was saying the England team were playing like pussies vs the short /bodyline stuff the Aussies were dishing out,Lee was just demonstrating how hard it really is.
Raph Walker brutal
typical Piers Morgan talking shit about something of which he hasn't even the slightest bit of a clue
Aussies were not bowling bodyline when they were not setting the leg theory fields to back it up.
But Piers showed more ticker than a lot of them. Granted, he knew he only had to face 6 balls. But he didn't shirk away from that contest at all.
He actually got some respect from me
@@StuTheDon17 Didn't shirk away? If he'd backed off anymore he would have got tangled up in the net lol. Unfortunately for him, Lee followed him!
Faces first ball against brett lee
Morgan :"lets charge down the pitch and show him who is boss"
Lee: "am i joke to you"
I've seen him bowl in real life, I couldn't even see the ball
You're a lucky guy
@@samipyabagde5384 Even I have seen him
he used to bowl like machine
If u don't play cricket with season daily or u haven't gone in any cricket matches than u will not be able tonsee
I cant even see 135 kmph bowl....
Same.
1:55 "c'mon Brett do it again" 😂😂
Piers getting knocked everywhere including Twitter
I love how he followed him as he backed away.
Wish he could have bowled 50 overs at the knobhead
can we arrange that now with him being an idiot again now on Twitter
Still funny that this actually happened. I bet Piers thought that he wasn’t going to go that hard at him. 5/6 balls were just trying to hurt him, 1 ball was trying to bowl him. Well done Lee!
first ball was a gigantic no ball . evil . loved it
There is nothing called no ball in nets
Every ball is a gigantic no ball!
When Piers says I'm going for a charge LMFAO 😂😂😂😂
Ajinkya Deshmukh
And later on gets intimidated by the bounce and falls to the ground 🤣😂
I think he meant he wanted to stick his finger into the power plug.
And that is not the fast Brett Lee in his prime he's bowling here around 140kmph still unplayable. LEGEND Bowler 👍
Every bowl was over 140kmph maybe even close to 145-150 kmph
Shane Warne has alot of empathy there, and he wants people to appreciate the courage shown by Piers facing that and not backing out. Respect, Piers.
Lol, no. The arrogant old goof thought he was going to go out there and show the pros how to bat.
@@GoldBawlsdo you really think so? Don't take life so seriously mate.

He acted like it didn't hurt but he went to hospital with broken ribs and a fractured wrist afterwards.
even indoor cricket balls can do some damage if you get hit in the wrong area.
Now bowled out by a weatherman 😂😂😂
Fairplay to piers, he didn't backout and he took the punishment like a man.
I think he is very lucky that he survived 😂😂😂
And TV viewers are very unlucky.
He had chest guard but still cracked his ribs fuck man
At 1:56, after Binga bowls a bouncer, some guy in the crowd yells "COME ON MATE DO IT AGAIN!"
Ya bro 😂😂
Ok
Exactly right!
haha piers anyone catch piers saying "F*** him!" on the stump microphone ?
novemberjam I
He said "Fuck you bring it on mate. Bring it on. Bring it on." @0:59 is that what you meant?
@1:20 some cocksmack in the baying crowd of morons yells between deliveries "Brett Lee.... Clock him."
@@BigRamifications that is a rude word
The idiot is lucky to still have some teeth !
Imagine Brett Lee coming to you like this holding a ball!!
😱
Here's me, an Englishwoman cheering on Lee!
Credit where credit's due Piers gets none of it he talked himself up saying he wouldn't be backing away yet every ball he ended up at square leg.
COWARD and that is the worst place to go if the bowler knows that you are a coward i.e back off to square leg. Lee knew that he was frightened and followed him with nearly every ball. The commentators were far too complementary to the big mouth chicken liver.
Lee is the man, great bowling
How did people find this video? Literally not a single person in the comments knows what cricket is or who Brett Lee is, but somehow they're still watching and commenting... how?!
they all just share the hate for the great twat piers morgan
I remember watching it live, glued to my seat, hoping he would go for another over.
How’d you not know who Brett Lee is?
Bit shallow, but I'm a bit of a Brett Lee fangirl 🤷♀️
Hatred for Morgan is pretty universal
If there was a poll to find 'Britain's Favourite Australian', I reckon Brett Lee would walk the contest, solely based on this video.
Brett Lee- Right Arm Thunderbolt.
What about Piers v Lennox Lewis?
First punch - all over Even stupid Piers wouldn't go there !

The only time every Pom was cheering for an Aussie quick.
Lee is such a fast bowler that he doesn’t even give a chance to piers lift his bat to play the ball😃😍
Morgan is a bellend but fairplay to him for sticking that out. Clearly no idea what to do.
Step inside it and chuck the bat at it
I don't think Brett lee bowled with his full pace
bobby singh bisht that was a full pace you can see that
Yep, that was not his whole run up. He only jogged to the crease whearas Brett lee sprint in

Lee had something personal against Pierce 🤣🤣
This is brilliant very time I watch it haha
Goodness this was AMAZING
And brett lee said its just 70% to 80% of his normal pace
Piers didn’t realise that Brett lee was genuinely trying to hurt him!!!
Absolute rubbish...Brett would never try to purposely hurt anyone and was bowling at around 80% of his best.
@@flamingfrancis But we want piers to retire

He's just toying with him. That wasn't really quick, and he wasn't really trying to hurt him, or bowl him. Just roughing him up a little.
You face Brett, you’ll get all your answers
He broke Pier's fucking rib you idiot.

Yes, that is correct in Australia also. By participating in sport is giving consent to possible injury means you are unable to sue for negligence or other legal action.
You can't bowl this many bouncers in an over to be fair. I hate Piers Morgan, but this video makes Brett Lee look like the small man
+Fred A Agree 100%.
Thumbs up Mr.Morgan for having the balls to face Lee.I wouldn't face him even if he bowled with a rubber ball.
Love his pace!😍😍😍
maybe this is how Mitchell Johnson got his inspiration to bowl against the Englishmen in ashes 2013-14
Piers certainly has some balls lol
What did everyone expect to happen? Piers Morgan is just the big mouth/egotistical/opinionated type with no actual tangible ability.

If it wasn't for the side netting he'd be playing from square leg!
there is only Brett lee in this earth nobody can be compare to him even shoaib Tait or anybody

What a funny 😁 batting
ball doesn't seem as fast when you are on the batting crease
now i can die in peace
I loved how Lee tried to hit the prat.
empty vessels (like piers) make more noise
I wonder if Piers is brave enough to wrestle a grizzly bear? I'd watch that.
It's so tough to make yourself stay in line as an amateur against that pace, but backing away to leg looks ridiculous. That must be 10 or 20 mph quicker than anything I ever faced... I used to get so far across to the off side that I got myself in a tangle.
At that pace by Lee it would have been very hard to do,to stay in line and risked a hit right on the body especially if ure an amateur...
What a confidence for Mr. Piers morgan .😮
