oh thanx...yeah, Dennis Lillee...vaise, ek aur thaa jo shaayad asthma kii vajah se kaamiyaab nahiiN huaa but he was one of the fastest bowlers in the world at that time and his name was i think Jeff Hogg...
...there is another Hogg guy in Aussie squad...i dunno if he is somehow related to him.
Sahi kaha aapnay. Hogg was his last name I think. I do recall he was asthmatic. Don't know abt current Hogg.
Along same lines, Lance Cairns of NZ was an all rounder - medium fast bowling. Abt 5 years ago I came across another NZ all rounder - same last name same med fast bowling. Son of Lance.
Anyway in 72-73 England visit Bedi used to literally play with English openers Barry wood ( best technique vs pace) and Dennis amiss. One day he gave amiss practice for few hour. of course amiss destroyed him in 74 tour of England.
Some otherwild card
1) during 70s Zimbabwe Bangladesh and other minnows were not part of int cricket
2) umpires abroad were far more biased
3) # of matches played not as much as today.
