Black Caps lost Hadlee, Bracewell and Snedden at the end of the 1990 tour to England. Hadlee obviously was irreplaceable despite an ongoing search through the late 80's for young fast bowlers and Denis Lillee coaching clinics (Brian Barrett, Sean Tracy, Shane Thomson, Jonathan Millmow). NZ really struggled to win test matches until Cairns, Nash, Doull became fixtures in the side (although Danny Morrison did play a big role in winning a home test against Australia in 92/93).

Just looking up those Denis Lillee clinics I came across this gem.

Crazy that he rarely (if ever) had an official coaching role with Australia because CA allegedly refused to pay him

If Khawaja, Smith, Starc, Hazlewood & Lyon retire in quick succession that will definitely have significant impact.
There's no quality old school opener replacement for Khawaja. No generational talent to replace Smith. The next best pace bowler in Australia is older than Starc & Hazlewood (Boland) & the best younger replacement (imo) is made of glass (Richardson). At least the spinning department looks good to replace Lyon but it's still a big legacy to leave behind.
