I still remember this match. Lillee was a beast

I've always felt sorry for the hapless Wally Edwards, the one loser among Australia's National team of winners in the 1974/75 Ashes series. He was unceremoniously dropped from the team after failing with the bat in each of the first three test matches. To add insult to injury, the Australian selectors didn't even have the grace to first communicate that decision to him personally, with the poor chap learning of it from the media within minutes of the third test ending.

As somebody who saw both live, Thompson was a human slingshot and I believe the fastest bowler we have ever seen. As for Lillee, he was the classic fast bowler and express too with both control and aggression, and beautiful in motion. I don't think we shall see a pair like them again as they were a perfect match.

What a joy to be Ian Chapell to have these 2 bowlers!!

Hard to believe these batsmen faced guys like tommo and lillee without helmets.

If Lillie doesn't Thomo will. 😮😊

No Helmet, arm guard etc etc no wonder the batsman were shitting themselves.

I have no doubt Thommo was the fastest ever but the first ball we see from him in this video, Marshy takes it casually in one glove. 🤣

Such a pleasure watching the old footage of cricket..back when the commentators could keep their bloody mouths shut for more than 15 seconds. Cricket is a soectator sport...I dont want ro listen to sone has been idiot drone in for bloody hours about nothing trying to prove he kniws something anout cricket. I cannot watch the game on the box any longer because kf the constant yapping by idiots in fron of the microphone.

December 2024: RIP Ian Redpath.

Eric Morcombe to Ernie Wise "Australia has the best bowler in the world" "Really" says Ernie "Yes and fast. She's probably the fastest bowler ever to play cricket" says Eric Ernie bemused and puzzled "She! what do you mean she?" "Yes she's a woman Her name is Lilli'an Thompson" I still bust my guts laughing at that

Thommo is the most feared bowler ever, blisteringly fast, but you never knew where the ball was gunna go! The Lillee Thompson duo was the greatest bowling team ever!

Interesting how Boycott would have done if he’d been on this tour..

Thomson was express and Lillee was quick at this stage too. Very scary to watch - imagine being the batters

There is no P in Thomson, or any left in the batsmen who faced his bowling.

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to dust, If Lillee don't get you, Thompson must.

I miss my 70.80 s cricket footy was best . Today everything is milk toast rubbish thanks dumb woke

I was watching the pommie show The Professionals & one of them said the Australian's are back. Another said the Kangaroo gang & the Boss said, ' No Lillee and Thompson you git' 😂 l still remember that from the eighties. Gee I've lived a exciting life when I think about it, but not as exciting as it was for the pommies 👍

Back in the day when cricket was cricket and all Australian test team players were household names. Before political correctness and wokeism was invented, which has infected todays Australian cricket team and has turned so many fans off the game.

Lillie n Thomson….. changed cricket

This is pure Karma against the cheating Poms. It was disgraceful they behaved in 32/33. The crowds had come to see the Don…not Larwood ect. Which part of that don’t the poms understand. ? I loved the 74/75 series, I loved hearing the poms whine. Let’s get it right….in 32/33 they cheated. In 74/75 we didn’t. End of!!!

Shaun is a very intelligent man and his humour has many levels, some of it very subtle. You made me laugh when you asked, "what's ma hat ma coat". That's a play on on Pakastani cricketers' name.

this man Thomson is frightenly quick, hats off to these brave batsman for even coming out to bat ,and without proper protection,never seen anyone even in modern day cricket bowl that fast, you can almost feel how hard the ball hits marshes gloves

A feast to eyes. This IS true cricket at its classic best. This short clip is worth watching a "stupid" 20/20 match of nowadays.

Some of the poms like Denness, Fletch & Lucky were totally out of their depth against that sort of bowling.

There was some new age gamesmanship going on in this series, Lillee was 'rested' in the tour match with WA at Perth, it was inconceivable to rest a player that early in the summer. And Thomson is rumoured to have been told to bowl at only three quarter pace in the match with Queensland at Brisbane so the England players would all think he was overrated and nothing special

Go the fat Cat !! 😂😂😂

There were so many revolutions on the ball that it actually dipped, and drifed from leg to off. I have never seen a legspinner impart that amount of spin on a wrongun or googly.

No helmets wtf

Cricket administrators take note: see how much more entertaining test cricket is when there's some lethal bowling going on, rather than a high-scoring batting exhibition.

Dennis Lillie is the greatest of all time

The great man thomo had the poms messing themselves. What a fuckin beautiful thing it was

No.1 team WI No.2 team Australia in those times.

Not as funny as Greg Ritchie’s batting.

I don't know how speed was measured before but sometimes it looks Thompson was more quick than Shoaib Akhtar .🙏

The thing about Thommo was the incredible lift he got from a good length. With that and his speed, he was absolutely terrifying.

Nothing compared with Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, Malcolm Marshall

What rubbish? Where is the gender difference in sports? Do not the women play cricket and if you go back to past Md.Azharuddin once got bowled by Madhu sapre a lesser known cricketer. It's a game and no guarantee is there that every time luck is with you. After all why was Zoi included if she was not a special cricketer among ladies?

Pommie cu#45#

Why didn't the batsmen just change their stance as they were bowling and scoop is over the slips with one of those strange shots that they use nowadays?

BRIAN LUCKHURST DIDN'T WANNA KNOW ABOUT IT , HE WAS HAPPY TO WALK , HAHAHA AND LILLEES BUNNY AMISS

the ice man.

That's classic comedy laughed my head of Greg Ritchie is classic comedian not bad for a cricketer love Anthony Fed ex lol

I remember seeing Lillee and Thompson on tour to England. An incredible opening attack.

Just can't imagine facing these two without a helmet. There's no lunge onto the front foot like today's players.

You can see why they wear helmets now😳✌️

The batsman during this era were the bravest cricketers ever. No helmets, no arm guards, no thigh guards, no rib guards. Just pure courage.

" Ashes to ashes dust to dust if Lillee dont get ya Thommo must "
