- The first selection. In 1969-70, Lillee was a young man plying his trade in club cricket in Perth. He was expecting selection that year as Western Australia needed pacers in the absence of Graham McKenzie and Laurie Mayne, who were on national duty.
- FOT. In his young days with Western Australia, Lillee was not very interested in fielding and used to almost while away at fine-leg or third-man. The captain Tony Lock used to be irritated to correct him and put him in proper place.

As if that weren’t enough, the gods did it through one man. Lillee, of course. Wh...
But we’ll return to that later. First, a quick recap. It was the second of five ‘Tests’ between an Australian XI and a World XI side. The series, put in place after an aborted one against South Africa, did not get Test status, but with Sobers leading the world team, a contest was very much on. Lillee, 6ft-tall, young, ruggedly handsome, flowing man...
But Lillee now felt exhausted and wanted rest. “Some sort of virus was going around Perth at the time — and, after bowling a couple of overs for the wickets of Gavaskar and Engineer, I felt terribly tired and asked Ian Chappell if I could possibly have a rest. He talked me into having one more over and things suddenly began to happen after (Graham)...
That day, though, only one side must have felt a sense of foreboding. And certainly not the one Lillee was playing for. The remaining four wickets would also fall to Lillee — Richard Hutton, Intikhab Alam, Bob Cunis and last-man out Lloyd completing the dismal parade back to the pavilion. Since dismissing Greig, Lillee had effectively picked up fiv...
Little did the opposition know that Thommo was harder on himself than anyone else. Dennis Lillee, on the other hand, could get angry with opponents and they would soon know about it.
Jul 18, 2020 · In the Test series, Lillee did a magnificent job for his skipper, Ian Chappell, bowling 250 overs and breaking the Australian wicket-taking record for a series against England with 31 victims. His long hair flying and his features adorned with a moustache in the best tradition of old-time cricketers, such as Spofforth, he always posed a problem ...
