The image of umpire Tony Crafter stepping in to hold back Dennis Lillee whilst Javed Miandad wielded his bat ready to strike were beamed around the world in one of the ugliest sights ever to be seen in a test match.
Lillee was fined and suspended for two ODIs after aiming a kick at the Pakistan captain Javed Miandad. According to Lillee, the Pakistani had used swear words at him.
Miandad said “I lifted my bat to ward him off and to tell him that if he hit me, I’d hit him for saying dirty words to me”.

Bloody head kicking stuff. Lillee clearly over reacted.

Ha, Ha, Javed caused all the problems by niggling Lillee and got away. Lillee copped the ban.

What a blast from the past. The clips portrays a very explosive situation, more than what I have read....got the impression that Lillee was jumping back in a decidedly cowardly manner when Miandad raised his bat.

That could have got nasty for Lillee if the umpire didn’t step in.
