Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
And unlike life, which - sometimes - throws up second chances, Lewis did not get any other chance and the match turned out to be his last outing for Australia in ODIs. For start, Lewis's career did not involve much academy days and a move to Melbourne saw him play grade cricket before he made his first class debut at the age of 25. Known for his aggressive skiddy bowling, Lewis grabbed a fifer during the Pura Cup final 2000-01 and backed the performance with some consistent showing in subsequent years.
He earned the CA contract during 2004-05 and people started talking about him being an Ashes prospect in the longer run. The ODI debut for the team came at the age of 31. Lewis was known for his death bowling expertise but all that seemed to have vanished on that fateful day in Johannesburg when the South Africans clubbed him all-around the park to hand Australia one of the most embarrassing losses. He soon lost the CA's contract and was relegated to domestic cricket. Things did not take a pleasant turn and he suffered a hip injury and eventually dropped out due to poor form before announcing his retirement during the 2007-08 season.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
The latest of the late bloomers, Mick Lewis grew up in regional Victoria, never made a junior state side and the Academy doesn't rate even a line on his resume. "I came through a different path," he says. "At a younger age I wasn't really that good at cricket, to tell you the truth." In his 20s he moved to Melbourne, joined the Northcote club to play grade cricket and steadily moved up the ranks, making his first-class debut as a 25-year-old.
A fast, accurate and skidding bowler with an aggressive attitude, he collected five wickets in the first innings of the 2000-01 Pura Cup final in Brisbane and showed a high level of consistency by capturing more than 25 Pura Cup victims in each of the four seasons before 2006-07. The 2004-05 summer was his best at state level as he picked up 38 wickets at 22.05 to earn a Cricket Australia contract, and he spent parts of the winter in Durham, where he was occasionally mentioned as an Ashes prospect, and in Pakistan with Australia A.
Influenced heavily by the fast bowler Rodney Hogg, Lewis became a one-day international aged 31 - the oldest since the 38-year-old Bob Holland in 1984-85 - and made an instant impact with 3 for 56 against New Zealand. Respected as a death bowler in domestic games, he delivered a nerveless final over of the second Chappell-Hadlee Series match and sealed a two-run win and the trophy with a desperate run out. "I had to do what I know I can do - bowl full and straight and at the stumps." Such qualities didn't help him at Johannesburg in March 2006, when he was smeared for 113 runs in his ten overs - the most ever conceded in a one-day international. The performance and an overall economy rate of 6.87 in his seven games led to him losing his Cricket Australia contract. The 2006-07 domestic season was a frustrating one for Lewis, who missed time with a hip muscle injury and was eventually dropped due to poor form. He finished with 16 Pura Cup wickets at 37.62 and added only one limited-overs game in 2007-08 before announcing his retirement.
