Mr Craig McDermott

“Billy The Kid” is second only to Dennis Lillee on Australia’s all-time fast bowling lists with 291 wickets in 71 Tests. He also bagged an Australian record 203 wickets in 138 0ne-day internationals.

After bursting onto the scene as a 19-year-old in England in 1985, when he took 30 wickets in six Tests, Craig McDermott had a stop-start, injury-ravaged career but fought back to establish himself as Australia's premier strike bowler in the early 1990s. McDermott was a textbook outswing bowler with a classic side-on action who could run through any batting order on his day. His best against England, was 84 wickets in 17 Tests. His best performance was probably in Perth in 1990-91, when he took 8 for 97 as England collapsed from 191 for 2 to 244 all out.
