I'm not finished with Tests: Lee
Monday, 2 November 2009
SYDNEY, Nov 1 (AFP): Australian fast bowler Brett Lee said Sunday he was far from finished as a Test cricketer following his latest injury setback.
Lee, 32, returned home Sunday with an elbow injury which forced him out of Australia's seven-match one-day series in India.
The one-time pace spearhead is bidding to recover in time for the opening Test against the West Indies, starting in Brisbane on November 26.
"I certainly have not ruled out playing Test match cricket and that is definitely the most important thing that I want to achieve -- to get back in and play Test match cricket," Lee told reporters.
Lee said he will consult a specialist this week about his elbow complaint and is hopeful of being fit to play for New South Wales in their Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania starting November 17.
