#7: Dennis Lillee
Lillee had the perfect action, genuine pace of 90+ mph and devastating bouncers and his in-cutters were a nightmare to even the best of the best batsmen. He took 355 wickets at an average of 23.92, which is phenomenal by any standard.
On 17 December 2009, Lillee was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame. The impact of the Lillee/Thomson bowling attack was summarised during the 1974-75 Ashes series when Sydney newspaper The Sunday Telegraph ran a photo of Lillee and Thomson with a cartoon caption underneath that read “Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust if Thomson doesn't get ya, Lillee must.”
