Edwards was Australian team manager in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Interviewed several hours after the famous Lillee Miandad incident at Perth in 1981, Edwards said he got on famously with Lillee and he was a pleasure to work with. He said Lillee was a volatile fellow, who caused team management a bit of stress over the aluminium bat incident in the 1979-80 test against England, but overall he spoke well of Lillee. [1]
