Lee weaponised his pace throughout his career, taking 10 Test 'five-fors' and averaging 20.15 and 17.81 in Tests and ODIs respectively.
We take a look at five of Brett Lee's career-best moments.
3. 2003 World Cup Hat-Trick
Australia took an invincible squad to the 2003 World Cup in South Africa where they were the dominant victors. In the group stage, Lee was able to dismiss three Kenyan players with consecutive deliveries to record an incredible World Cup hat-trick.
Even though Kenya are an associate nation, Lee's achievements shouldn't be diminished as he dislodged the Kenyan top order to take them to 3/3. Kenyan batters Kennedy Otieno, Brijal Patel and David Obuya fell victim to his spell on the day.
Lee also became the first player to take a hat-trick in a T20I in 2007, where he took 3/27 against Bangladesh.
