New South Wales v Western Australia, Ryobi Cup, Sydney
New South Wales 5 for 228 (O'Keefe 70*, Haddin 70) beat Western Australia 6 for 224 (Davis 116*, Swart 56, Lee 2-37) by 5 wickets
New South Wales won by 5 wickets (with 16 balls remaining)
Player of the match SNJ O'Keefe (New South Wales)
Lee picked up two wickets for NSW in their five-wicket one-day victory over Western Australia, but more importantly showed no ill effects from the elbow injury that has kept him sidelined for six months.
Western Australia's Liam Davis made his maiden one-day century but it wasn't enough for the Warriors, whose 225 was comfortably overhauled by Steve O'Keefe and his batting colleagues.
Lee picked up 2 for 37 from his 11 overs and both of the victims came from his slower delivery, which could become a more important weapon for the fast man as he becomes accustomed to the limitations of his body. It was Lee's first game for New South Wales in nearly 12 months, after a year in which he has battled a serious elbow problem and injuries to his thumb and arm.
