#4 Brett Lee
Brett Lee was one of the few bowlers in world cricket who could dismantle any opposition with their hostile pace. The 40-year-old consistently bowled over 150 clicks and troubled batsmen with his raw pace and bounce. The astute line and length of Glenn McGrath was complimented by the express pace of Brett Lee as they formed a lethal opening bowling combination for the Aussies and dominated world cricket.
Despite being bogged down with injuries throughout his career, Lee was a successful campaigner for his side in the Champions Trophy. Featuring in 16 matches, the right arm fast bowler picked up 22 wickets with his best figures being 3 for 38 against New Zealand in the same match where Glenn McGrath wrecked the Kiwis with a five-wicket haul.
The two fast bowlers picked up eight wickets which dented New Zealander and ensured a comprehensive victory for the Aussies.
Lee was been part of the Australian squad for five editions of the tournament with six wickets in the five matches of the 2006 and 2009 edition. He made his Champions Trophy debut in the year 2000 and picked up two wickets in the solitary match he played. He followed it up with five wickets and three wickets respectively in the 2002 and 2004 season.
