Brayshaw Ian Lillee & Thommo

Annotation

"Lillee and Thomson — a fast-bowling, fire-breathing, batsman-battering combination with no peer, who tore apart England body and soul in the 1974–75 Ashes, then put the might of Clive Lloyd’s West Indies to the sword the next wild summer. This is their story, seen through the eyes of their teammates — all the way from suburban clubs to the national side — and of their opponents and the umpires. Ian Brayshaw, a teammate who was at Lillee’s side as he returned from a career-threatening back injury, who knows what it’s like to face Thomson thunderbolts, orchestrates affairs in this in-depth look at a special time in world cricket. The time when Lillee and Thommo reigned supreme."
