Dennis Lillee or Glen Mcgrath?

Most unfair criticism of Lillee.His best performances were achieved on the flat tracks of Melbourne' date='Adelaide and the Oval.He also got 24 wickets in Packer supertests in 1979.Lillee had more craft than Mcgrath on flat tracks even if Mcgrath had an ultra-accurate line.Atleast give Lillee his due.[/quote'] The Aussie wickets were never flat. They didn't have much lateral movement, but they had bounce. Lillee rarely did well when there was no bounce, he was more or less like Mitch in this respect. McGrath on the other hand did well on low and slow wickets. If Mitch had bowled in the 70s and 80s, he would have earned the same reputation as Lillee.
