Think I'll go DKL. Our 1990 tour party wasn't the strongest to leave these shores.

Lillee, great bowler destroying a powerful batting line-up.

But if it weren't for the weather they could have defeated that great West Indian team.

Lillee, easily. Included one of the famous moments in Australian cricket when he bowled Viv Richards with the final ball of the first day to reduce the West Indies to 4/10.

 

[Slifer]

Lillee for a change.

Warnie

Tough one. I'm inclined to go for Warne, because Massie's effort was really a flash in the pan. Obviously he bowled well, but by all accounts (I've never seen any footage of this match) conditions were absolutely perfect for his bowling. He took 16 wickets on debut and never did another thing in test cricket.

However, Warne didn't manage to win the match for his side, despite obviously bowling extremely well. I'll go Massie, just.

Massie for me. If you're gonna be a one hit wonder, make it one that people remember!

 

[aussie]

Massie, great exhibtion of controlled swing bowling, Warne effort was great but he was bowling to South Africa who have a history of not being the greatest againts spin.
