Re: "Series L". (Not so long as the previous.)
- Solutions & comments, "+1 and +2"::

and

Have really been fully explained already. Especially under the solution and comments on "NOT03".
Apologies again for the faulty placing of (supposedly) "02b", which should also have been "NOT03a", with the other "NOT03" adding "-b".
Like any responsible politician of today, I blame anyone but myself. Let's scapegoat my source!
Here's Wisden's review (via espn/cricinfo) of the series. It reads very haughtily by modern standards, incredibly snooty about Lawry for example - and is heavily opinionated in a way that would not be out of place in a publication pretending to be a quality newspaper.
Some interesting further info and provocative views, nonetheless:

Brought back some happy and not so happy memories.

Aha! Some brief footage of Lillee's debut - and five-wicket haul (5-84) on his first outing:

Me too.
He looks quite different from the self-caricature he soon became. Well, maybe self-caricature is the wrong word: "persona" might be closer. A persona also to intimidate. Bristling moustache, bulked-out loose-necked shirt, don't-give-a-shit look in the eyes: the appearance of a charging bull.
On his debut, he looks more the "earnest colt". No less deadly, however, as you see from the effect.
