A couple of years back, Lillee came out of retirement to play for his
state (?) side. In fact, he got a wicket in the 1st ball he bowled! Can
someone tell me wether he is still playing 1st class cricket, & for
which side is he playing + performance, etc....

He also bowled a ball in a club match once with ....... an apple.
Apparently he brought it back from lunch secreted in his pocket,
did the old ball-switcheroo as he walked to his mark, then
thundered in and unleashed a ball the likes not seen before in
cricket ... which proceeded to explode on impact with the pitch! :-)

Now if someone had managed to hit it with his aluminium bat before
it hit the pitch ..............

Mr Lillie was always a great entertainer ! I once saw him in a tour match
at Taunton receive some stick bowling off his short run, so he grtadually added
to his runup progressively bowling faster and shorter. When the crowd started
to "wind him up" about this he walked to the edge of the pitch opened the gate
continued up the steps into the old pavillion and started his run from there.
