Talk:Dennis Lillee

message: "Still a huge hit with the fans, Lillee continued his international career until famously retiring along with Greg Chappell and Rod Marsh after the Sydney Test match against Pakistan in January 1984; many consider this 'triple retirement' had an adverse impact on the Australian national team as their performances soon slumped."
Whilest all 3 did retire from TEST cricket after that match I'm pretty sure Marsh continued on play out the World Series Cup of that Summer whereas Chappell and Lillee did not.
:*Interesting, but I'm not sure it's particularly relevant to an article on Dennis Lillee.  In adding the information about the possible adverse impact on the national team, I did so as more an indication that it happened.  Certainly an article on the impacts of their retirements would be very interesting...--Cory 16:32, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:DKLillee.jpg

message: No mention of Lillee's one and only caught and bowled in test cricket - the victim was Geoffrey Boycott. Having induced Boycott to hook with the previous ball ( a bouncer), Lillee repeated it - and Boycott skied it. Yelling "Mine!" at the top of his voice, Lillee ran to a short mid wicket position and delightedly took the catch. (This happened at Trent Bridge - but I am open to correction on the point.)
I think this deserves a mention. 81.102.15.200 (talk) 12:44, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It was Dilley at Headingley,  no idea if it was a hook shot, so maybe not that notable- or referenced.The-Pope (talk) 14:42, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  One and only caught & bowled dismissal in test cricket 

message: Carl Rackemann was NOT the Man of the Match in the second Test against Pakistan in 83/84 - that honour went to Geoff Lawson.  Rackemann was Man of the Match for the FIRST Test.  It also isn't clear, from what I can remember, that Lillee was going to be dropped for the Third.  Tom Hogan came into the side as Rackemann's replacement - a left arm orthodox spinner!  There would certainly have been a lot of public resistance to dropping a living legend like Lillee at that stage, not least from PBL who had disproportionate influence over the game at the time and who would have seen the Lillee name as a draw card.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.177.218.51 (talk) 05:23, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incorrect Info on Carl Rackemann 

message: Lillee was involved in more controversies than have been mentioned.  During his comeback to First Class Cricket, he (and his mate Botham) destroyed an Honour Board in the small ground they were playing at in Tasmania.  There is also the apparent undermining of Kim Hughes's authority when the latter was Captain of Australia, most notably the very public "disagreement" during a one day match in 1983.  Much information on this can be drawn from the recent book "Golden Boy".  When he was the stand in Captain of WA in his last season, he had a very public spat with the umpires over extra drinks for the team.  Certainly the first two should rate a mention, particularly since the attitude of Lillee (and Marsh and the Chappell brothers) helped to undermine Kim Hughes as a Captain, his self confidence and perhaps ultimately his batting form.  I'm a big fan of DK, but there is no walking away from this - although kicking Javed is the most notorious incident Lillee was involved in.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.177.218.51 (talk) 05:31, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

message: I have removed this section which needs to be be written to comply with WP:BLP and WP:UNDUE. The link was dead (though I see an updated version is available), the quote was selective, and one source has been used for an incident that was widely written about and needs more balance for e.g what the media reaction).
