Brett Lee doesn't want the human element out of the game

Former Australian speedster, Brett Lee, does not want the human element out of the sport with the ongoing ban imposed on bowlers for their celebrations, viz, Kagiso Rabada.

South African captain Faf du Plessis, during the post-match presentation of the PE Test match also made a statement along the same lines.

Lee affirmed that there exists a line which players’ mustn’t cross. According to the express fast bowler, there should not be any swear words used or racial vilification.

We don’t want robots on the field, says Lee

“The thing that I will say about that, in all honesty, is we don’t want robots on the field. Of course, there is a line that the players should not cross,” adviced Brett Lee, according to AFP,

“You don’t racially vilify someone and don’t use excessive swearing or stuff that can upset children who are listening in. Other than that you’ve got to play hard cricket,” added the Australian.

Post the Port Elizabeth Test match, Kagiso Rabada was handed a two-match suspension. Rabada was in red-hot form but has to miss out on the remainder of the Test series due to his ban.

“Now I am not saying I agree with what happened and I am not saying that I don’t agree with what happened, but what I can say is that we don’t want to get into a stage where players can’t even look at a batsman, batsman can’t even look at a bowler without getting into trouble,” Lee said.

Further, in the two matches of the series, Rabada bagged 15 wickets which included a match-winning 11-wicket haul in the match at PE, helping the Proteas levelling the series.

“He’s good, I like him. Gets good shape on the ball. Also, he comes around the wicket a fair bit to the left-handers, which I like and has got good pace and aggression and that’s what you need,” concluded Brett Lee.
