Very sad

One of the Australians you just hated at the time because they were always hammering us, but as I've got older and wiser you realise he was a great player and character in an amazing team.
Sad news indeed and another part of my childhood gone.

So true.
If I'm correct, he holds the record for drinking the most tinnies during the flight home to Australia at the end of a test series. Had to pour him off the plane at Sydney.
Some character.
