Willy Nilly: The 12th Man's Biggest Hits is the first compilation album released by The Twelfth Man. Willy Nilly: The 12th Man's Biggest Hits was released in November 2013 and peaked at number three on the ARIA Charts.

Billy Birmingham said, "I dedicated Willy Nilly to Tony Greig because out of all the commentators, he got the 12th Man better than anyone. We did a couple of gigs together and it was funny standing shoulder to shoulder while I am taking the piss out of his voice. He knew the success of the 12th Man had done nothing to harm Channel 9's coverage or their reputation."{{cite web|url=http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/billy-birmingham-aka-the-12th-man-prepares-a-greatest-hits-and-says-current-commentators-arent-inspiring-a-new-record-for-ashes/news-story/f834a140b4c6f647b22d5e8abdce714f|title= Billy Birmingham aka the 12th Man prepares a greatest hits and says current commentators aren't inspiring a new record for Ashes|publisher= news.com.au|date= 22 November 2013|accessdate=24 December 2017}}
