Javed Miandad Vs Dennis Lillee, 1981, Perth: From what can be seen, Lillee came in Miandad's way as the latter was completing a run. A confrontation soon started, and umpire Tony Crafter tried to stop the two from clawing at each other. The Aussie then went on to kick Miandad, who responded by raising his bat.
