Dennis Keith Lillee, AM, MBE (born 18 July 1949 in Subiaco, Western Australia) is a former Australian cricketer rated as the “outstanding fast bowler of his generation”.

Lillee was known for his fiery temperament, ‘never-say-die’ attitude and popularity with the fans.

In the early part of his career Lillee was an extremely quick bowler, but a number of stress fractures in his back almost ended his career.

Taking on a strict fitness regime, he fought his way back to full fitness, eventually returning to international cricket.
