This week I have the privilege to speak to one of cricket's fastest bowlers, a true champion and a close mate, Brett Lee. Binga enjoyed the highs of winning an Ashes series, World Cup and Allan Border Medal during his career, but also suffered the lows of being dropped and battling injury setbacks. On this special episode, Binga talks about the mental and physical techniques he used throughout his career and how he is managing phase two of his life.
