The Black Caps will play in Australia’s premier Test series for the first time in over 30 years in Perth on Thursday.
Having not won a Test against Australia since the famous victory in Hobart in 2011, the Black Caps will have their work cut out for them to achieve cricket’s holy-grail over the next month.
However, former fast bowler Lee says that the current side under the leadership of Kane Williamson are a force to be reckoned with.
The Black Caps haven’t won a Test series in Australia since 1985.
The last time the two sides met on Australian soil saw the visitors take a 2-0 series victory, with wins in Brisbane and Adelaide.
Australia meanwhile, have warmed up for Thursday’s series opener in fine fettle, sweeping Pakistan 2-0 with two innings-victories
