Mitchell Johnson is the leader of the pace quartet comprising the in-form Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, all capable of touching the 150 kmph mark.
"The thing that excites me is if you look around the world there's not many bowling attacks that have serious pace. And we've got four guys who can bowl touching 150," Lee was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald.
"Then you have Hazlewood, Starc, Cummins, who can work around Mitchell Johnson and make it the biggest wolf pack that we've seen. It's exciting for me," he added.
"They're all pretty tall, too. They're all big, big boys. Someone at 6'5 bowling at 150 ks an hour, I know where I'd rather be - standing at mid-off watching them do it," said the once fearsome fast bowler."
"Mitchell Starc has been bowling fast. I don't know whether it was the comment in the paper about him not running in and bowling quick, something's stirred him up and he's bowling rapid," said Lee.
"That's what he needs to do to go to the next stage of his career - 150 km/h to a right-hander is an absolute nightmare to face when the ball shapes back in. He has a lot to offer.
