Plenty of captains and players talk about being ready to spill blood for their team but Australia's Brett Lee actually did just that in the World Cup quarter-final defeat by India.

The game was almost up for the reigning champions when fast bowler Lee, who has repeatedly fought back from a series of injuries, sprinted round the boundary and dived full length in a bid to stop a pull from Yuvraj Singh off Shane Watson from crossing the rope in the 43rd over.
