Love this photo of @scgmacgill and @BrettLee_58 . There's a story here as well. This picture is from MacGill's final Test in Antigua against West Indies. The leg-spinner didn't have the best match and gave away more than 100 runs in his 21 overs. But he takes credit for five

wickets according to Lee's autobiography. This is what happened. West Indies were 314/4 in their first innings in response to Australia's 479. The top-order had taken the attack to the Australian bowlers and MacGill being the leggie suffered. Dwayne Bravo hit him for a six that

landed on some sharp rocks surrounding a crowd-control moat and fence. After 90 overs, it was time for the new ball but the Australians didn't take it. Brett Lee came back in the 93rd over. His 16 overs earlier hadn't yielded a wicket. But things changed in no time when he began

to bowl with the old ball. Lee took three wickets in four balls as West Indies slipped from 314/4 to 318/8. He got two more with the ball that was now bending long and late in his own words. Lee admits that he hadn't moved a ball more than he managed on that day. So, what's the

role played by MacGill in this? Remember that Bravo six? Well, the six that had landed on the sharp rocks had caused some natural scuffing on the ball and at Lee's pace, the subsequent movement became unplayable. MacGill, the funny fellow that he is, writes Lee,

'still claims that getting hit for six was all part of his plan' and that's how he helped Lee with his five wicket haul.

He is still a man with a sense of humor which I discovered while talking to him on our podcast. Give it a watch/listen.

THAT @BrettLee_58 celebration. A delightful sight, always. How can someone do this after bowling for more than 20 overs at a pace of 140+ in the heat of Caribbean?
