Australian bowler Brett Lee has agreed to bowl to CNN talkshow host Piers Morgan in the Melbourne Cricket Ground nets after the journalist wrote on Twitter that he would love to face Mitchell Johnson.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, former Test quick Lee challenged Morgan to front up against him at the MCG and Morgan has accepted.

Meanwhile, Shane Warne said that there is absolutely no way Morgan would get in the nets as he has not got the courage and is only all talk.

However, Morgan said that he had all the courage and invited Warne to get into the nets, saying he would hammer him too.
