Willis also faced India and Pakistan in 1974 before heading down under in November for the 1974-75 Ashes series, playing in five Test matches. He took 17 Test wickets at 30.70, including a best of 5-42, out of 26 first-class wickets at 31.19 overall. He was, however, playing with growing injury concerns which required several painkilling injections. Here he traps Australia’s captain Ian Chappell LBW for 0 during the 3rd Test at the MCG.
