Lillee was acclaimed for his skill and ferocity. I don't think he's top 5, but for a while there he was the best in the world. He had a hand in Hadlee's development and right Marshall how to bowl the cutter later in his career. He went from tear away to more controlled aggression and still had the '75 Windies shook, and this was after the injury and rehab. Yes his personality elevated him a few levels, but so have Warne's.

Regarding Viv, he took on Hadlee, Imran, Snow, Willis, the quartet, Qadir, Lillee and Thompson, Underwood. Every team he faced had a legitimate ATG or great bowling threat and he took them all in head on. And during his peak, he slaughtered them all. He didn't face any minnows to boost his numbers, yet for the era he played his average was as good as any. Yes he played too long and his eyes went, doesn't diminish what he was in the late 70's and early 80's. Outside of Bradman his leak is nearly unmatched, especially when looking at the quality of bowlers faced

The Ashes batting is unreal and probably pushes them above the other two imo. Not much in the bowling imo but the Ashes batting really is unfair lol.

Don't play at Test in Hyderabad man..... India atleast has 7 more prestigious and better grounds (Eden Gardens, Brabourne, Wankhede, Chenaswamy, Chipok, Firoz Shah Kotla, Mohali, etc.). Personally I think the India Test should be in either Kolkata or Mumbai.
