When:
Short story:
Fast bowler Dennis Lillee becomes Australian Cricket's top wicket-taker, having notched up a total of 249 wickets. He will inspire Men At Work to sing "Hear the cricket calling, switch on the TV, sit and stare for hours, and cheer Dennis Lillee", in their 1983 hit No Restrictions. He will also be mentioned in the Iain Campbell Smith song Blue Guitar, in which the narrator, describing unlikely, fantastic events, sings "I hit a six off Dennis Lillee and I clean bowled Gavaskar".
