Who is the most successful home-track, flat-track, minnow-bashing bully of all time?

[Migara]

Out of bowlers, Lillee is a good shout.

No he isn't. At all.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Being called a flat track bully as a bowler is actually very flattering.

[Fuller Pilch]

Dougie Walters

 

[Debris]

Australia

Let me apologise on behalf of Australia for bashing NZ round for 70 years. There was no call for that and I imagine that there are numerous NZ fans suffering from PTSD because of it.

 

[Migara]

No he isn't. At all.

How much he average in SC + WI conditions?

In how many games?

sample sized as ****

 

[Migara]

I can understand reasons behind not travelling to India. But only one test against WI who were a force during his entire career. Unfortunate injuries or chicken out, I don't know.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

There were two Australian tours to the West Indies during Lillee's career. The first he played the first Test with a stress fracture of the back and didn't play again for nearly two years because of it. The second one the Packer players weren't selected.

You do realise that travelling to SC and WI weren't common events in his time, don't you?

Exactly. That's why lack of matches against WI is surprising. But for any AUS / NZ / ENG / SAF cricketer. WI conditions would be more or less alien as sub continent.

Put iy this way, WI pitches and climate is much closer to SC than ENG / SAF / NZ / AUS.

If WI cricket curators were putting up SC type pitches in Lillee's era, they must've been ****ing mental.

The lack of matches he played in WI was explained by Lillian Thomson above. That doesn't make him a home track bully.

 

[Dan]

That doesn't make him a home track bully.

Sure it does; it just doesn't make that description a pejorative.
