In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer")[1][2] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement,[3] and fewer than 40 bowlers have taken more than 15 five-wicket hauls at international level during their cricketing careers. Brett Lee has the fifth-highest number of international five-wicket hauls among Australian cricketers as of 2013.[4][N 1] A right-arm fast bowler, he is regarded as one of the fastest international bowlers in the modern cricketing era.[5][6]

Lee picked up a five-wicket haul on Test debut,[7] playing against India in December 1999;[8] a match that Australia won.[9] His career-best figures for an innings were 5 wickets for 30 runs against West Indies at the Brisbane Cricket Ground in November 2005; while never managing to take ten wickets in a single match.[9] Eight of his ten Test five-wicket hauls were taken at home.[10] After capturing 310 wickets, Lee retired from Test cricket in 2010 and remains Australia's fourth-most successful bowler in the format.[8]

After making his One Day International (ODI) debut against Pakistan in January 2000,[8] Lee's first ODI five-wicket haul came in one of the matches of the series against India; the performance ensured Australia's victory.[9] With nine five-wicket hauls, his position is third in the all-time ODI list.[11] His career-best bowling in ODI cricket was 5 wickets for 22 runs against South Africa at Melbourne Cricket Ground in January 2006; his performance earned him the man of the match award.[9][12] Lee claimed 19 five-wicket hauls in his International career, and Australia never lost any of the games on such instances. However, he never took more than five wickets in a single innings in any format of the international game.[9] Lee played his first Twenty20 International (T20I) against New Zealand in 2005, and is Australia's fourth-highest wicket-taker in the format.[13] He never took a five-wicket haul in T20I, where his best bowling figures remain 3 wickets for 23 runs.[14] Lee announced his retirement from international cricket in July 2012.[15]
