Paceman Lee hit on head with ball

ST GEORGE’S: Australian fast bowler Brett Lee was knocked in the back of the neck with a ball during a training session and suffered a mild concussion yesterday, team officials  said. Batsman Jimmy Maher was having a practice hit and a stray stroke sent the ball flying toward the New South Wales pacer. The 26-year-old was stretching when he was hit, team officials said. They said he had a “mild concussion” and had been given orders to rest for the remainder of the day. He was being treated by the team physiotherapist, said Jonathan Rose, team spokesman. “It’s expected that he’ll be available for selection for  Friday,” Rose said — when Australia play their sixth One-Day Iinternational against the West Indies at Queen’s Park Stadium. The Australians, who won the preceding Test rubber 3-1, lead the seven-match series 4-1. The seventh and final one-dayer is at the same venue on Sunday.
