Lee brands Oz's fearsome Johnson, Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins 'biggest wolf pack' ever

Former Australian paceman Brett Lee has branded the nation's fearsome fast bowling quartet at the Cricket World Cup as the biggest 'wolf pack' he has ever seen.

In a warning to international batsmen, Lee view Australia's pace attack, comprising of Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, as a major weapon on home soil for the elite tournament.

Unlike rival nations, Australia has four quicks capable of nudging the 150 kilometer-per-hour mark, and their control and accuracy means that the host nation can attack and defend using bowlers with high speed, Stuff.co.nz reported.

Australia's strength in fast bowling ranks was highlighted by the fact that in the opening two games of the tri-series their bowlers, in the absence of the leader of the pack Mitchell Johnson, set up comfortable victories over England and India.

Mitchell Starc, after 10 wickets in two games, might be the man of the moment but Lee believes Cummins and Hazlewood would also strike fear into the opposition.

Lee said that the thing that excites him is if one looks around the world there's not many bowling attacks that have got serious pace, and added that Australia has got four guys who can bowl touching 150.

Lee claimed that parking aside Johnson because he's a genius, and is always the first picked, is the leader of the attack, and is the guy that can dominate, Australia has Hazlewood, Starc, Cummins, who can work around the pace spearhead and make it the biggest wolf pack that they have seen.

Lee also claimed that they're all pretty tall, too, adding that they're all big, big boys.
