Brett Lee rocks India.?!

MUMBAI - A lilting romantic duet written and sung by Australian cricket player Brett Lee has climbed to number three on the Indian charts!!!

Lee wrote the lyrics of "You're The One For Me "(youtube) -- which he sings with legendary Bollywood singer Asha Bhosle -- in 30 minutes after a cricket practice session with his team during the Champions Trophy tournament in India in November.

He loves butter chicken, the sultry weather, Preity Zinta and numerous other Indian girls, but for Australian cricketer, Brett Lee the greatest fascination that India offers him, "is the warm and smiling people on the streets." In town for one of his many product launches, Lee is now getting acquainted with the rudiments of the language. He knows the traditional "namaste; shukriya", but does not shy away from using some colourful phrases too. Commenting on playing against India on Indian soil, Lee agrees it would be a tough fight. . When time permits he plays for his brother's band as a bass guitarist.
