‘Aaram se’: Brett Lee spells out in Hindi at T20 World Cup

Dubai: Jos Buttler’s hammering would have rattled one of the title favourites Australia in the ICC T20 World Cup but former pace bowler Brett Lee feels it’s not a ‘doom-and-gloom’ scenario for his side just yet, and that Aaron Finch’s team should “relax” and “go about things patiently”.
Using the popular Hindi phrase ‘aaram se’ (take it easy and relax), Lee said that there would be off days but if the intent is right, “everything will be okay”.
“Now it’s not all doom and gloom for Australia — I try and look at things from a positive point of view. There are a lot of people saying, ‘he shouldn’t be in the team’, ‘he shouldn’t be batting there’ and so on. But they say in Hindi, ‘aaram se, aaram se’, and that means to relax and go about things patiently. I think that’s a really good expression that the team can use just to relax. Everything will be okay,” said Lee.
“I know that there could be changes, they might look to shuffle the order, they might look to some different bowling options but sometimes you just get outplayed and England outplayed Australia,” Lee wrote in his column for the ICC.
England wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler singlehandedly took the game away from Australia, playing a smashing innings, embellished with five maximums and an equal number of boundaries in his 32-ball 71 as the Eoin Morgan-led side won the low-scoring match by eight wickets and dealt a crushing blow to the Australians’ morale.
“England were outstanding. The 50-over world champions were just too good in the end; it’s as simple as that. 50-over cricket you can play catch up, Test match cricket you’ve got days and it’s like a game of chess, but in T20 cricket if you slip up for an over or two it can cost you the whole game.
