PIERS Morgan has received the ultimate confirmation of Brett Lee's power - an X-ray of his broken rib.

The TV host faced Lee in the nets at the MCG last Friday after taking the bait from the former Australian quick on Twitter.

But the six-ball session has left a lasting and painful impression on Morgan, who received his scans on Tuesday night.

"Just went to a Sydney medical centre to have injuries inspected," Morgan tweeted.

"'Ah, Mr Morgan,' said the doctor, 'Brett Lee, I presume'."

Morgan later tweeted a photo of the X-ray: "BREAKING (literally!) NEWS: Fractured rib confirmed by X-ray...thanks again @BrettLee_58."

Lee was also in the firing line from New Zealand Test great Richard Hadlee, who said he was "appalled and outraged" at Lee's "stupidity and misjudgement" in bowling at Morgan's body.
