This is one record tearaway Aussie bowler Brett Lee will be most unwilling to lend his name to.

The express speedster today became only the second Australian bowler in 70 years to concede 200 runs in a Test innings.

On the third day of the series-deciding fourth Test here today, Lee finished with 4-201 in 39.3 overs as India piled up a record 705-7 before declaring their first innings.

Left-arm Aussie spin bowler Chuck Fleetwood-Smith holds the notorious record of conceding most runs in a Test innings of 1-298 off 87 overs against England at The Oval in 1938.

Lee was expected to rattle the pace-wary Indians with his 150 km/hr “chin music” but is now left with serious introspection to do about his technique and strategy.
