NEWS Cricket World Cup 2007>Aussies jolted by Brett Lee injury 15th Feb 2007 14.01 IST By Agencies Australia's World Cup squad is believed to have received a major jolt with pacer Brett Lee injuring his left ankle and knee. Lee, training with the Australian squad ahead of the Chappell-Hadlee series opening match, received treatment on the ground for 10 minutes and was in visible discomfort before being whisked away by team medical staff.
Lee now looks highly unlikely to play any part in the three-match series in New Zealand. The injury comes just two days after the World Cup squad was named, with NSW pacer Stuart Clark considered unlucky to miss the cut. Captain Ricky Thomas Ponting had said, after the squad announcement that it would only take an injury for Clark to come back into the frame. "Who knows - one of the guys rolls an ankle on a ball and I'm sure Stuey is going to be the first guy we call up. As we saw in the last World Cup, lots of funny things can happen," Ponting was quoted as saying by the paper.
