"I hope the numbers speak for themselves, in terms of the Tests and one-dayers I've played, and the way I've performed over a long period of time. That's 600 wickets for Australia - and you can't do that if you're injury prone. When you're trying to bowl over 155km/h for 16 years straight, it takes a lot of wear and tear on the body. It's part and parcel of the job," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Lee, as saying. "But that's the greatest thing about it, that's the thing I love - if it was easy to do, then everyone would be running in and bowling at 155 kays. There's a reason why there's just a handful of people in the world that can do it. It is very tough," he added. "I thrive on the fact that you do have to make sure, always, that your body is in peak condition, you have to have the miles in your legs, the right action, the mental stability - the whole lot - to be able to do this," Lee said. Lee, however, maintains he's not anxious about his selection for the Test series, which starts at the Gabba on November 26. After taking more than 600 wickets for Australia - 310 of them coming in 76 Tests - he doesn't feel it necessary to plead his case.
