Ireland are going to have some serious muscle behind the scenes for the forthcoming Cricket World Cup after they signed up Brett Lee as bowling coach.
The Australian legend, who recently retired from the game, is one of the greatest bowlers of all-time and will be on hand to help the Irish lads with all aspects of their game, including how best to bowl on the tracks they will face in Australia and New Zealand.
Ireland are in Pool B alongside South Africa, India, Pakistan, West Indies, Zimbabwe and United Arab Emirates with the top four going through to the quarter finals.
They open their campaign against West Indies on February 16 in Nelson, New Zealand.
‘Brett’s insight of Australian pitches will help our bowlers,’ said Ireland coach Phil Simmons.
‘I am sure they will all benefit from the experience he has accumulated, especially in the pressure situations of a global event.
‘It is a fantastic opportunity for our bowlers to learn from a living legend.’
Judging by their efforts in this video he may also want to help a few of the lads with their Aussie accent.
