Probably my favourite Aussie bowler! Looked like he still had it but he obviously doesn't feel that. Sad to see him retire, always played the game in the right spirit and gave us a lasting image of sporting behaviour in cricket:
Remember being in the MCG for the 3rd day of the Boxing Day Ashes test back in '06.
Every time he ran up to bowl the whole Barmy Army gave it the "whoooooaaa...no ball". And I mean every time.
Also "Keep your arm straight, keep your arm straight, keep your arm straight when you bowl".
It was relentless but when he came down to the boundary right in front if us he just stuck up 4 fingers to show they were kicking our arse and generally took the piss.
To be fair KG he had just lost a test, Freddie gave us the iconic sporting moment, which is odd for him as he is not particularly liked throughout the game.
As for Lee, he was still the most potent of their attack during this one day series.
