Australian great Denis Lillee was known as arguably the best fast bowler of his generation. During his time, Lillee went on to become the leading Australian wicket-taker in Test scalping 355 wickets in 70 Test matches. Lillee formed a deadly pace duo with fellow Aussie speedster Jeff Thompson. The pair decimated and tormented the best of batting attacks with their lethal pace and deadly swing. In December 1971, Lille ran through a powerful World XI side in Perth, taking 8 for 29 in the first innings, and went on to claim 31 Test wickets at 17.67 during the 1972 Ashes tour, that is how he impacted matches and changed the complexion of series’.
