18 fewer tests than Starc yes, but Lillee bowed 1200 more balls than Starc in those 18 less tests.

'Harden the F up': No nonsense message that pushed Starc to new heights

Don’t forgot that Lillee also took 24w @ 20.08 in 4 “tests” against the Rest of the World in 71/72. So including those and WSC is true tests numbers are 88 tests, 446 wickets @ 24.16.

That would have given him the record until at least 1999.

With the form he’s in, Maxwell opening against the Windies could be a good option.

21 off the last over? Maxwell does it again as blistering ton catapults Australia to victory in final-ball thriller

I can understand all players wanting to make as much as they can in their relatively short careers. It’s ridiculous that Cricket Australia only offers one year contracts. The players have no real certainty so, why should they be loyal. Players like Green should be on a 5-10 year contract.

In the 90’s the Chicago Bulls did that with Pippen, locking him in to 10s when he was very young. These IPL owners only care about their profits, not the game. Which is why we should never privatise the BBL.

Test case scenario: Year-long IPL mega contracts put heat on international cricket in biggest shake-up since Packer revolution

Steve Waugh had one bad year in his last 6 as a test cricketer. Still averaged 80 in his last full year. hardly a decline.

Tim Paine by the numbers

Great win for Australia. Every member of the team stood up at different times. When Warner didn’t make runs, Finch did, and vice versa.

Williamson played an amazing knock it’s a shame such a nice guy had to lose. If NZ had been playing any other team, I’d have been on them.
