CRICKET ODI SERIES:BRETT LEE re-wrote the Lord's record books to bowl Australia to NatWest Series success with three games to spare on Saturday.

Australia fast bowler Lee became the first player to claim two five-wicket hauls in one-day internationals at English cricket’s headquarters, to set up the comfortable seven-wicket win.

The 32-year-old took five for 49, obliterating the lower order late in the innings with his yorkers, as England were dismissed for 220 in the 47th over.

“It obviously meant a lot actually getting a five-for, for Australia again,” said Lee.

“To get it at the home of cricket, Lord’s, it’s always a very special moment, and you always treasure the fact you get the chance to play here at Lord’s.

“It’s something that is a very, very special part of my cricketing life so far.”

Lee now has 314 ODI wickets, having surpassed his 310 tally for Tests, and no other Australian has taken as many five-wicket bags in the history of international limited-overs action as his nine.

Australia now appear a good bet to seal a 7-0 whitewash of an England side weary and lacking direction in the aftermath of the Ashes.

“The next game is very important, but the chance to win the next three is something we’ll certainly be eyeing,” said Lee.

“We have it take it game by game, you obviously don’t want to look too far ahead as well.

“You can become complacent I think, after we’ve won the series here it would be very easy for us to think we’ve done the hard work, but the hard work starts now.”

Lee has been given extra motivation to do well sporting the green and gold after first being injured and then overlooked for the 2-1 Test series defeat.

“I was disappointed not to play in the Ashes to say the least, but that’s behind me now,” Lee said.
