On This Day: October 19, 1982 - Pakistan wrapped up a clean sweep against Australia

[giri26]

Pakistan wrapped up a clean sweep with a nine-wicket victory in the third Test against Australia in Lahore - only the second whitewash Australia suffered in the 20th century (the first was in South Africa in 1969-70, and the next would come only in 2010, in India). Worse still, they did not manage to bowl Pakistan out once.

This victory, like the first two, was pretty routine: Javed Miandad and Mohsin Khan both made hundreds and Imran Khan bowled imperiously for match figures of 8 for 80.

Was Dennis Lillee injured during the series? or he chickened out after having horrible series averaging over 100 in 1980?

I checked his records and he never even toured India.

Dennis Lillee had major injury problems during his career and at one point was banned for several years due to World Series Cricket.
