Brett Lee wants to crack the 100 mph barrier against Pakistan next month after being retained in theAustralian one-day squad for the Super Challenge series.

Lee said he was relieved to be included in the 13-man squad for the three-match series, which will take place in Melbourne and Brisbane.

But Ian Harvey wasn't so lucky. His time ran out with the selectors, who omitted him and young off-spinner Nathan Hauritz from the squad which crushed South Africa 5-1 in the one-day series in South Africa in March and April.

Jimmy Maher was retained after a promising South African series, Steve and Mark Waugh were again overlooked and young all-rounder Shane Watson was preferred to Harvey.

Lee's place was also expected to come under scrutiny after he was expensive in South Africa - he took nine wickets in four matches at a costly 5.82 runs per over.

Lee said that though he wants to add some variety to his bowling, he doesn't want to cut down on his pace as he prepares for a speed showdown with Shoaib Akhtar in the Super Challenge, which begins on June 12.

"I'm probably in the side as a different type of bowler," Lee said, "because I'm really in there trying to get a quick breakthrough.

"And when you're a fast bowler in one-day cricket it can be quite different because you get snicks through the slips and other shots that go to the fence pretty quickly."

Asked if he could match Shoaib's 160kph breakthrough, Lee said: "I've a chance to one day, who knows maybe in this series."

Akhtar hit 100mph in a one-day international against New Zealand in Lahore last month, although the accuracy of the radar gun was questioned.

But Lee and Akhtar will have the same conditions and same measuring apparatus next month to decide the fastest bowler in a sideshow to the series.
