I only remember Lillee from 1975 onwards as an 8 year old kid. But wow this footage from 1971 shows that he bowled with awesome pace pre back injury.

Yeah, I always feel annoyed that I only started watching cricket late in the 76/77 season, and it was just after Jeff Thompson got injured in a test against Pakistan. So I missed out on seeing live that whole Lillee & Thompson period. Both of them were never quite as quick after their injuries.

I was in the crowd that day. Electrifying. I still reckon some of the batsmen deliberately threw their wicket because of the sheer threatening and terrifying pace. Here one minute. In a coffin the next. Frightening.

Interesting watching his early action. It changed significantly after his back injury

Yeah, he had to do a lot of work on his back, and he was slower, but bowled like McGrath did, line and length and developed swinging balls. Cheers

4:00 that was a quick ball with bounce and carry to Marsh. They said the pitch sweated under the covers overnight and freshened it a little. This was the second day of the game.

Remember hearing about it in school from a friend (who couldn't get himself away from Radio Australia that morning, school be damned!) during the lunch break. I think DKL went from 2-29 to 8-29!!!

Different times, batsmen wearing nowhere the protection that they have these days. The hole in the ozone layer must have been smaller too as half the fieldsmen aren't wearing hats or caps.

8-29 is one thing, but blitzing them in only seven overs is something else!

And DK was ill. Scarily fast, must've been nudging 100mph. Still the greatest fast bowler of all time.

8 ball overs in Australia back in those days, so in today's terms, it would be 9.3 overs. Still incredible though.

Sir Gary Sobers different class very courageous brave after him came Sir Vivian Richards Ferrari Bugatti Rolls-Royce of Batting The moment Viv came to bat the game changed to fastest gear open challenge to bowlers I'm going to go after you all especially the best bowler of the team. fearless aggressive. Remember always when you talk discuss records compare with protective gears helmets and so on the latest sophisticated equipment gadgets the limitations of bouncers by bowlers and without all of the above. No current batsmen will dare to do what Richards Gavaskar did play without ⛑️sophisticated helmets protective gears Rolls Royce of Batting without helmets protective gears and no limitations of bouncers Huge difference to play with and without protective gears and unlimited bouncers short pitched bowling The game changed to the topmost gear the moment Viv Richards stepped on to the ground his entry itself was sufficient, his style walk, taking guard said to the opposition I am here now show me what you got and I am here to destroy you all especially the best bowler of your team nowadays batsmen attack identity weak bowlers Viv attacked destroyed every teams most fearsome bowlers. I always wanted Greenidge or Haynes to get out quickly as I loved to watch Viv enter and murder hammer blast destroy the best bowlers of the era

Hello John, it's actually from an old video called, Cricket in the 70's - The Chappell era. Whilst living in Australia from 1970 - 72 as a youngster, my first cricket bat was a Gray Nicolls Ian Chappell Record with his autograph factory stamped.I kept that bat and at Lords in 2009 he signed it in person for me. He loved the sword at the back!
