Lillee is the trickiest, but the s/r wasn't any better, but Lillee would go all day. Additionally Lillee basically played double digit tests vs only 3 teams in 2 counties, even worse than Ambrose btw, and only did well vs one of them. High averages vs Pakistan and WI, did well vs England and NZ. Yes he had a higher WPM, so yes he gets credit for consistently running in. But in their respective primes, we're choosing between the two, yeah Lillee could take off your head, but Ambrose was more accurate and while both would be candidates to take you out, Lillee gave more balls to hit to possibly relieve the pressure. I'm taking Ambrose, I know who you would take.

I do have Ambrose over Lillee. But it’s not much of stretch to have Lillee ahead.
