International 12th Man
Highly unlikely, IMHO. It was a brand new ball and the Windians were 10/3 before Viv fell.must say Lillee did have an aura about him
Dennis Lillee and Viv Richards - Boxing Day 1981 - YouTube
a hint of reverse there?
Looks like just a hint of (conventional) shape in and tbf, the Antiguan played it poorly. Not the best delivery the great man had ever bowled, but the Lillee-Richards contest, the theatre and the MCG crowd egging him on adds to the magnificent spectacle.
As someone in the other thread remarked, one of the most spectacular first days ever - 26th December, 1981.
