Super impressive effort to clear the MCG on six occassions, esp with Lillee in the attack, but i was always under the assumption it was six in a row. So not in the same league as Garfield Sobers, Shastri or Yuvraj Sinfh

The one handed six off Lillee was the most impressive.

No one remembers the result of that game but everyone remembers the six sixes from Cairns with excalibur, it's cricket folklore.

He has a Cricinfo page.

Unfortunately he died by way of suicide in late 2024.

He is listed on the cricinfo page as "right arm medium", which kind of flies in the face of the video posted.

Here is an article following his passing, his family at least felt his death could have been accidental (at least at the time of this article).

Former Indian Cricketer David Johnson Falls to Death from 4th Floor in Bengaluru | Bengaluru News - Times of India

Former India cricketer David J Johnson, 53, fell to his death from the fourth floor of his apartment building in Bengaluru. Police suspect suicide, family suspects accidental fall. Johnson represented India in Test matches in 1996 and was part of Karnataka’s Ranji Trophy-winning teams in the 1990s.

I remember this happening.

Not the greatest sequence of events.................

Lillee bowled the equivalent of 45 six ball overs in the England second innings, no wonder he was off a short run up at the end - he was buggered.

Before his back injury. Very fast.

Interesting how his action changed post back injury, you can really see him kicking his front leg out in a way that he never did after 1973.

Yeah, he was very quick before his back went on him.

Still quick enough afterwards of course, but nowhere near his pre-back injury speed.

Remodelling his action was part of the process that allowed him to get back on the field.

He broke down in the West Indies in early 1973 (First Test) and didn't resume first-class cricket until the 74-75 domestic season. He played the 73-74 Australian season, from memory, as a batsman in WA grade cricket.

First time I saw Dennis Lillee getting a pasting was in a qualifying game leading up to the 1975 World Cup where West Indies beat Australia twice in the 2 games they played.

In the final it was Clive Lloyd that dominated with 102 off 85 balls, but in the first meeting between the teams it was Alvin Kallicharran.

Ricky Ponting and Damien Martyn with a broken finger put on a matchwinning partnership to win that game.

I got to see Mark Waugh and Damien Martyn put on a great partnership live at Lord's in the 2001 Ashes test.

I remember that incident.

The Windies weren't happy with the umpiring, with justification, but I'm not sure that is the way to express your discontent.
