Brett Lee believes his brother was better than him 

Brett Lee recently said in an interview with Jio Cinema that his brother Grant Lee was better than him and his brother Shane Lee. Shane played 45 ODIs for Australia and picked up 48 wickets throughout his entire career. 

My little brother, Grant. Shane and I both played for Australia and Grant was better than either of us. But he came to the age of 18 and said, I am not really enjoying my cricket. And Shane said, well, if you're not enjoying it, then leave. And he left.

Brett Lee further mentioned being aware that Grant was quick at the age of 17 when he began to play grade cricket in Sydney. Lee picked up 310 wickets in Tests, 380 wickets in ODIs, and 28 wickets in T20Is, respectively.

Maybe sixteen. I was playing with the grades, and I was always fastest in U12 and 14. At 16, playing in Sydney grade, going from regional grade to Sydney grade against the big boys, that's when I thought, okay, this is going to be challenging. But at sixteen, I thought I knew I'd hurry up.

Brett Lee also shed light on his nickname 'Binga' and said that it comes from a chain of Chinese Australian-owned stores.

In Australia, specifically Sydney, there is a chain of electrical shops called Bingley's and it is as simple as that. It is a Chinese Australian-owned brand since 1957 and it used to always be Bing when the kid was growing up. Yeah, so it started with Binglee and then Binga.
