Shane Warne vs Curtly Ambrose

[DrWolverine]

Even Lillee’s record in Pakistan has to be studied in context.

1st Test : Pak spinners took 18 wickets in that match. Imran didn’t even bowl in the 2nd innings

2nd Test : Only 12 wickets fell in 5 days. Imran didn’t even play in that match. 2 double centuries and two centuries took place in that match.

3rd Test : Another high scoring match where the teams scored 400+ everytime. Imran took 2 wickets in each innings and Lillee took 3 wkts in the one innings he bowled

Yes Lillee did not play much outside Aus/Eng/NZ but it’s not fair to judge his talent with that one series.

Even if Lillee had failed in Pakistan it is too small a sample to use against him.

Lillee said he would like to be buried in Faisalabad when he dies.

Lillee’s standing in all time great bowlers should be penalised because he did not play in India and just once in SL/WI.

He should not be penalised for that one series in Pakistan and using that to judge his talent saying he is another Anderson or Broad.

Yes. Or for a single poor test in WI.

Border is one of the great frauds of the game, all his big knocks take place on either slow flat wickets (Port of Spain) or absolute roads like the Pakistan twin tons.
