WSC brings Lillee's WPM up from an unmatched in modern times 5.0 to an even better 5.1.

I am becoming more and more inclined to have my all time fast bowling attack consist of McGrath, Marshall and Lillee.

There is this Kiwi Knight who goes by the name of Sir Richard Hadlee.

Unmatched? Hadlee's is 5.0

It's also worth noting Greg Chappell's performance in that match - given that it was a game where the bowlers utterly dominated from start to finish, his scores of 74 and 89 are incredible in context.

Chappell >>> Lillee

163 runs in that match? Unbelievable. More runs than the World XI's entire top 6! And possibly his own!

You're right, I forgot about him.

We even named the Underarm/wanker series after him.

Still, Lillee had much more capable backup bowlers than Hadlee, which makes his WPM figure even more impressive.

Still similar SR's though implying that he was taking the wickets anyone IMO. Swings and roundabouts argument.

Also would give some of the great South African players of the time a bit more recognition.

Continuing to legitimize superior posters' thoughts and adding useful insight and figures isn't going to make you look cooler.

Those aren't legal and I think we all know why.

He spins urgh

Yeah I ignored him for the same reason I ignored Kumble, they spin and spinners can find it a lot easier to get higher WPM than fast bowlers, particularly if the pitches they play on are suited to spin (less spinners in the team, they bowl more overs etc...).

Brilliant stuff, Sean! The sharp decline in Barry's average is shocking though. I knew it would fall from 73 but I was under the impression that he the was the best batsman alongside Chappel in WSC and thought it would be somewhere around the 65-mark overall.
