Lilly, Lilly, I remember that . I also remember watching Lilly Bowl at the SCG and everyone chanting Lillee's name.
I remember also seeing Merv Hughes stretching on the outfield.

So many memories of cricket

A good reminder of the days when we had Lillee and Thomo who terrified the opposition.

What a pair! Boxing Day at the G was a must until recently, as was the footy season. I knew nothing of these games until my sons started school. As a single mother I then learnt everything about them. I wasn't going to become a 'sports widow'.

You, obviously, learn quickly.

Yes, what an extraordinary team as mentioned by Suzanne Rose.
Thommo reminds me of Frank "Typhoon" Tyson, the English fast bowler. I reckon that those two guys were taught by the same tutor. Fast powerful bombs. Brett lee wasn't far behind either.
