Damn! Got to 1:47 and had to call it quits! I bet the rest of his team hasn't seen this. I thought it was a 30 sec ad, but a full blown song and clip? Highcarumba.

I guess nobody is perfect, and he is probably making a sh*tload from the sales over there because the Indians love him!

Brett Lee and his brother have had a band for years and used to do a lot of gigs at pubs etc, but I didn't know he was doing the "rock star thing' over seas though.

I saw the other day he has his own clothes brand as well & he has a cafe too so I'm pretty sure he'll do just about anything that provides $$$.

Brett Lee can hardly bowl...singing too?

I think he should give the cricket up now and concentrate on singing. Should he do that, he'll be booked out with kid's parties and bah mitzvahs!

He sounds like a Wiggles type singer. When he retires from cricket he could go on Playschool or something.

After watching that I'd say NO! Brett Lee is not a singer. Having said that I wouldn't be able to convince thousands of Indians to buy rubbish like that so good on him. As long as It's not released here.

No record company would be stupid enough to release it here.

It looks like it's been made primarily for the Indian market.

Good on him I say, he'd be making a packet! 1.2billion people live in India, imagine the record sales?

he would get 1 rupee for every single sold.

A work colleague of mine is indian, and told me that Brett as well as others are very popular in india. More so than here in oz. So in some ways it wasnt a bad marketing ploy.

I agree with fordfan86, the indian chick is a looker.

They love their cricket over their in places like India, so anything a player like Brett Lee does, has got to be good. We think he's crap, but they love him.
