Aussie comedian Andy Lee 'brought sandpaper along' for T20 Black Clash

January 16, 2020

Lee will turn out for Team Cricket in tomorrow's charity match in Napier.

Australian comedian Andy Lee is making no secrets of what he brings to the table in tomorrow's T20 Black Clash - a high-profile addition to Stephen Fleming's Team Cricket against Team Rugby in Napier.

A keen cricketer in his youth, Lee was a non-playing squad member of the Melbourne Stars in the Australian Big Bash while Fleming was coach. Now he's been called in to face off against Team Rugby.

While his cricketing pedigree isn't as high as the likes of Fleming, Nathan Astle or Daniel Vettori, Lee knows just what he adds.

"I've got an upper hand in sledging," Lee joked with 1 NEWS.

"I've studied all of them, I'm gonna go personal.

"I've also brought sandpaper along. It's worked for the Aussies in the past."
