Brett Lee shmoozes Bollywood

---

It's good to see Brett Lee isn't letting his foot injury get him done, taking the opportunity to fly to India, networking with Bollywood producers. Reminds me of Monty Panesar, writing a book and releasing a clothing line while waiting to get selected for the Ashes. The bombshell in the otherwise fluff article is as follows:

Lee said he was writing songs for a new album and was amazed by the popularity of his previous single, You're The One For Me, performed with actress Asha Bhosle, which went to No.1 in India and South Africa.

I'm not surprised he's working on a new album (cringing perhaps, but not surprised). I'm also not surprised that it went to No. 1 in India. But South Africa!?! I confess I'm not conversant with South African music - listening to Paul Simon's Graceland is about as close as I get. Brett Lee's Bollywood single is no Graceland.

Incidenatlly, I followed the WI vs Poms last night (WC jet-lag) and it was apparent that that both sides did some pretty ordinary bowling. Poms won by the smallest of margins of course (1run). Seemed like Pie-eaterson did his usual self thing. Nixon was full of it as usual - how can we take a team seriously with a dh like him in it? Anyhow, they're both out of it and that fact is discgraceful given the history of those cricketing nations.

Call me controversial, but these two teams OWE IT TO US to provide entertaining cricket like Aus & NZ do but they continually disappoint like Pak & Ind - I mean, yeah it's great to have our boys whupping everyone in sight for years on end (it really is) but if Aus win this WC then it's actually possibly going to be detrimental to the game...?

Asha Bhonsle is actually a singer,not an actor(just for your info)Binga did a decent job actually,even going as far as singing a few lines in Hindi.I didn't expect him to do as well as he did.He sure has a bright future here in India for sure after retirement!

Brett Lee has talent... If he wanted to he could sing anything... Somehow Bollywood isn't COMPLETELY his style but he's still great anyway :P
