	Dennis Lillee: biography and encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Lillee made his debut for Western Australia (A state containing the western third of Australia) in the 1969-1970 domestic season as a raw twenty year old, immediately impressing with his pace and workrate.
		Lillee followed this performance up with a successful Ashes tour of England in 1972, starring in a 2-2 drawn series, with 31 wickets at the outstanding average (A statistic describing the location of a distribution) of 17.67.
		Lillee threw his aluminium bat away in disgust ("[throwing] the offending lump of metal fully 40 yards towards the pavilion"), and grudgingly took the wooden bat.

	Cricinfo - Lillee calls for Ponting sacking
		Lillee, 56, believed Warne, the world's leading wicket-taker, acted as a "pseudo captain" during the drawn fifth Test and felt Ponting should be left to concentrate on his batting.
		Lillee was wide-ranging in his criticism of the Australian team performance, railing on Cricket Australia officials and coach Buchanan.
		Lillee said Matthew Hayden, Damien Martyn and Simon Katich were the most vulnerable batsmen with selection for next month's Test and one-day series with a World XI and this southern summer's tours by West Indies and South Africa.

	Cricinfo - Lillee calls for Tait
		Dennis Lillee has called for the debut of Shaun Tait as he voiced fears the current side were losing their grip on the Ashes, with the teams going into Thursday's fourth Test with the series level at 1-1.
		Lillee, who took 167 wickets in 29 Ashes Tests from 1970 to 1983, said Australia were a team in decline with a number of players reaching the end of their careers together.
		Lillee said Tait should be included for the fourth Test at the expense of Jason Gillespie, who said his place was under threat after taking just three wickets at an average of 100 apiece in the opening three matches.

	Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Dennis Lillee
		Dennis Lillee, considered by many to have been "the complete bowler", was the heart of Australia's attack for more than a decade.
		And Lillee repaid their faith with interest - he was the type of character whom captains could rely on to bowl "one more over" at the end of a long spell, and often made breakthroughs when success seemed unlikely.
		Lillee, who was named in Australia's Test Team of the Century and the Hall of Fame, now has an international reputation as a fast bowling coach.

		Lillee, who is not yet at his peak, should be in even better bowling form when the England side comes to Australia next year, and he gives full credit to the season he had in Lancashire League cricket.
		Dennis Keith Lillee was born at Subiaco, Perth, on July 18, 1949, and, after attending Belmay Primary School and Belmont Secondary School, he began playing with the Perth Cricket Club when fifteen years of age.
		At that stage Lillee was very raw but he could have been the answer -- a thought with which the selectors obviously concurred for they sent him to New Zealand with an Australian B side at the conclusion of that 1969-70 season in which he had taken 32 wickets.

	Why Lillee still bowls us over - theage.com.au
		Lillee was arguably the greatest fast bowler ever to put on boots, and you do not read his autobiography because you think he might just be a Chekhov as well.
		Lillee departed international cricket on a high in 1984 (there was a brief comeback with Tasmania that he does not regret), but he never walked away from the game and the final chapters cover his now famous coaching.
		Lillee poignantly recalls the eeriness of listening to John Arlott's unforgettable commentaries of England/Australia Test matches, the same Arlott who once said of Derek Underwood that he waved his bat at a Lillee delivery like a civil servant trying to wave down the Bristol Express at a village station.

		Lillee was extremely fit, strong, had a rhythmic bowling stride and a loose limbed action, and above all could generate scorching pace.
		Lillee also had the mental toughness to rise above the circumstances and the uncanny ability to deliver the goods when his side needed.

		Legendary Western Australian cricketer Dennis Lillee recently completed a fast bowling talent identification tour of the North West, as part of the Department of Sport and RecreationÅfs Alcoa Coach in Residence program.
		Mr Lillee said that the North West of WA has only produced a handful of cricketers who have reached the highest levels, and resources were needed to stimulate the growth of the sport in the region.
		As well as delivering talent identification programs, Dennis also attended coaching forums in the evenings where he participated in question and answer sessions and where he discussed the role of his clinics in promoting cricket.

	Lillee defends bowling approach
		The Aussies, who have already wrapped up the Ashes series against England having won the first three Tests in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, came in for criticism for bowling short to lower-order batsmen, who are supposedly incapable of defending themselves.
		Tudor was forced to retire hurt and left the field with a split eyebrow.
		Lillee insists Lee's delivery to Tudor was certainly not malicious and not intended to cause injury.

		Lillee's policy is that once the basic action is right, everything else will come right, and therefore erratic bowling at first is not to be of any concern at all.
		Lillee did most of the coaching himself, but was assisted by Sekar and also an experienced local Ranji Trophy medium-pacer, Divakar Vasu, a very small man. Sri Lankan coach Dav Whatmore was also there for five days with his Sri Lankan charges.
		At the end of the course, Lillee made it clear to them that they were still not the finished products but have to keep working on what they had learned.

	CNN/SI - Cricket - Lillee tells Shoaib to ease off throttle - Friday November 12, 1999 11:42 AM
		Lillee said the 24-year-old's quest to become the first bowler to break the 100 miles per hour (161 kilometers per hour) mark would not necessarily result in wickets.
		Making his last competitive appearance at the age of 50, Lillee last month grabbed three wickets for eight runs when he played in a selection XI against Pakistan.
		Lillee said Shoaib was more effective in the first test against Australia in Brisbane when he slowed his pace and swung the ball.
