Lee hopes to lead Australia attack in World Cup

Injury-plagued Brett Lee wishes to spearhead Australia's pace attack in the 2011 World Cup in February, but says he has a plan B ready and hinted coaching as an option if overlooked by the selectors.
Lee will make his return to world cricket in Wednesday's Twenty20 match against England.
Lee, with 15 wickets at 25 apiece, is the second leading wicket-taker in this season's domestic one-day competition.
Lee, who has been 14 months away from international cricket, is in Australia's provisional 30-man squad for the World Cup, which will be trimmed to 15 later this month. A squad for the coming One-day games against England is expected to be announced later this week.
'I hope that I'm in it and want to lead the attack for Australia. Hopefully I can bring some experience and different blood back in the team,' Lee, Australia's second most prolific wicket-taker in the One-day game, was quoted as saying in Sydney Morning Herald.
