Our bowling's too slow, our spinner's not spinning it, and our batsmen lacked guts. Other than that, going well... #Ashes

Watch Piers Morgan Get Whacked By A Cricke...

1. During the Ashes, Piers Morgan has had some damning things to say about England’s performance.
2. Former Australia fast bowler Brett Lee challenged Morgan to face him in the nets to give him an idea of how hard professional cricket is.

3. Despite the fact Lee is one of the fastest bowlers of all time, Piers was confident.
I've faced 90mph regularly in my net from a bowling machine. Never backed away. That's what helmets and pads are for. #Ashes
4. Then a bit less so.
So @Channel9 just sent me a personal indemnity form to sign. 'The risks involved may result in my personal injury or death'. @BrettLee_58
5. There wasn’t much support from his countrymen.
Worth telling you @BrettLee_58 that there is real concern in our country for @piersmorgan . Concern that you will hold back a little....
6. And in front of a baying crowd, they got down to business. Whereupon this happened.
7. And then this happened.
Dramatic day @mcg. We've had 10 wickets so far and @BrettLee_58 did this to @piersmorgan #ashes
9. But Morgan was determined. Even when he was asked if he needed a doctor, he refused, and defiantly continued.
“Bring it on! Bring it!”
10. And so he was hit with the ball once more.
11. In total, Piers was clobbered four times, bowled once, and fell over once. Michael Vaughan found it all very hysterical.
Surviving > RT @MichaelVaughan: What are you doing @piersmorgan ???
13. And even cracked his wrist.
Full injury list post @BrettLee_58 showdown - cracked wrist, bruised rib, and massive egg on back of head from...the throw-down guy.
14. Here’s the full agonising over.
15. Despite the evidence above, here’s what Piers has to say.
Also for the record, @BrettLee_58 bowled 6 (big) no-balls and 5 bouncers. Otherwise, I'd have battered him.
