"As soon as we walk over that white line we're competitive and we're playing as hard as we possibly can," he added.
The affable pacer maintained that the Australians played the game in the right spirit and said the two teams were good friends off the field.
"...I can tell you that off the field there has been some amazing friends formed over the past couple of months. Look, we've got some great mates in the Indian side," he said.
"We're out there playing hard cricket and as long as we're playing by the rulebook then there's no problems with that," he added.
Lee refused to comment on the Indian complaint to the match referee against the "provocative behaviour of the Australians".
"It's just their call, isn't it?" he said. "The thing that we can concentrate on is going out there and hopefully winning games for Australia. I know there was a bit of stuff floating around, but it's a matter of me as a player.
"There has been a fair bit spoken, especially after the game and the complaints and stuff, but it's a matter now of focusing on the game of cricket," he added.

RatingBrett Lee deserves a lot of credit. Not only was he the best bowler for Australia this season, he's also been an example of sportsmanship. I'm not sure why people are calling him a crybaby when he's been above the whole sledging mess this year. Him and Sachin are ambassadors for performance being unrelated to childish antics.
The article is for cry babies.Bullies always moan loud when bested by the unexpected.
It takes two to tango guys. In the heat of the moment, players do crazy things, and provocating basal instincts is one of them. All must be reprimanded for this, be it Symonds for instigating Bhajji or Bhajji's response with "Teri Ma Ki": which, though not racisr, is certainly quite offensive, as we all know.I would like to point out to the exemplary spririt shown by Sachin: he is singularly responsible for resolving the dispute; and it was the use of his good offices, that made Ponting sign off on the rescinding of the charges.This is what we need to learn from; exemplary play that no one can question, yet maintaining humility and grace throughout. If there is any gentleman-ness left in the game, its because of such players.
"Teri Ma Ki"....That is just a cover up, he made monkey gestures, he did it in India aswell, aAs I said, Double Standards !!.I agree, Sachin is very good on and off the field
The Indians are the cheats here, Harbajan has been nothing but trouble the whole time, he has caused all the trouble with his racist comments but you have twisted it around the make the aussies look like the bad guys, You only see what you want to see and the whole world knows itI didnt realise the ICC is on the Indian cricket boards payroll !Cant wait till we tour there and spank your cheating butts !
you guys never get it eh "mate"? making a few friends for the sake of it does not give you respectability or credibility.
Sledging is not playing fair and hard cricket.
It is IPL effect.Ye Brett Lee nahi , IPL ka Paisa bol raha hai.
Lee may be a friend off the field. Certainly symonds, hayden and ponting cannot be.
May be true. But what matters to millions all over the world, is the behaviour ON the field. What happens off the field, is not known to anybody. Everybody sees whatever is happening ON the field. So, Lee's remarks cannot justify the bad behaviour of some of his mates on the field.
