Instead they were destroyed by the pace of the unknown Thomson and the unexpected return to fitness of Lillee, backed up by aggressive field placing by Chappell. The bowlers’ success masked a decline in form by the Australian captain, who was outshone by brother Greg, Redpath, Walters and McCosker. South Australia were again bottom in the Shield.
