Dennis Lillee Quotations

If I've to bowl to Sachin, I'll bowl with my helmet on. He hits the ball so hard.

Geoffrey [Boycott] is the only fellow I've ever met who fell in love with himself at a young age and has remained faithful ever since

I got the distinct impression Warne was the pseudo-captain during the fifth Test. There is no doubt Warne has an amazing cricket brain - but not only that, any cricket he plays is full of passion, (courage) and determination.

I got the distinct impression Warne was the pseudo captain,

If Australia want to regain the Ashes they would dramatically improve their chances by appointing Shane Warne as captain,

If Australia plays as good as it possibly can obviously it can win, no doubt about that,

He has the ability to reverse the old ball and that will hold him in good stead during the Indian summer.

Just the other day he told me Dougie Walters had phoned. I thought, 'that's good' and he said, 'yeah, he offered me his liver. I said no thanks, I'll take my chances.

Jones has come down here to get some bowling training under my guidance. To bowl in Indian conditions would be a bit difficult for him and if he is a little more effective with new ball, Jones will be a complete bowler.

I think you have got to win the game, so you go in with five (bowlers),

It is good in a way that players from different countries use this facility. Apart from learning the right technique, the most important aspect for all these players is to get to know the Indian conditions and that helps them to perform better when they get a chance to play here.

Who'll win? I'm probably going to be a bit controversial here and say I think England may win it,

Yeah, that's what I've had in the back of my mind as well.

Whenever I've called him over the last 12 months or so, he's never once complained. He's always got a joke,

Australia was ambushed by England because way too many people right across the board were living in a comfort zone. The first priority is to appoint a captain who can lead from the front.

They should get rid of him as soon as possible.

They should start at the very top when assessing what went wrong in England. Cricket Australia executives, the coach, the manager, the captain and support staff must be all held accountable for this disaster.

That lack of sharpness is never more exposed than by a pace attack such as the blindingly quick one England have deployed.

I'm just saying it could be an English win.

In the second innings Sobers showed me just how well he could bat,

I'd pair Lee with Tait. They could be sensational.
