Dennis Lillee was probably one of the best and the fastest bowlers of his generation. Hailing from Western Australia, Dennis Lillee had suffered various back problems at the start of his career which threatened to end the same.

However, after following a strict fitness regime, Lillie made a successful return to international cricket. By the time of retirement, he had 355 wickets in 90 Tests at an average of 23.92. He has a good ODI bowling record too. In 63 ODIs, he took 103 wickets at an average of 20.82.

The pair of Jeff Thomson and Dennis Lillee was well known for decimating the oppositions. Together, they unravelled misery on the English batters in 1974-75 Ashes series.

Thomson and Lillee shared 58 wickets between them in that series. Australia thrashed England by 4-1 in that series.
