Biography Of Dennis Lillee- Most Complete Fast Bowler With 'Never-Say-Die Attitude'
At a time when fast bowling was at its richest in the entire cricket history, Dennis Lillee was the man everyone looked up to. Considered to be the most complete fast bowler, Lillee was one of the key figures in the Australian set up in the 70s and early 80s. He began as a tear away quick bowler with a classical side-on action and a long run up in the early part of his career but a number of stress fractures in his back almost ended his career. A very popular figure in fans, Lillee was known for his fiery temperament and 'never-say-die' attitude.
Taking on a strict fitness regime, he fought his way back to full fitness, eventually returning to international cricket. By the time of his retirement from international cricket in 1984 he had become the then world record holder for most Test wickets (355), and had firmly established himself as one of the most recognizable and renowned Australian sportsmen of all time.
