I agree with your assessment of Lillee. Truly great bowler that he was,
more than 80 per cent of his wickets came on Australian or English wickets.
he didn't have to pound down on the back breaking pitches of the West Indies
or the sub continent. As for your reference to SCG, I'm talking about his
international record. His record at the SCG there is not as good as other
grounds.
