Popular Post AussieBob Posted March 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2022 18 minutes ago, Painter said: Rod Marsh, Aussie keeper. https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/60508396 Obviously like all others my age, I watched Rod Marsh keep for Australia - absolute champion. It was Marsh who tried to stop Greg Chappell when he did that disgraceful underarm incident - he never thought he was bigger than the game. I met Marshy once at the U19 Nationals when the team I was coaching played against SA. He was a very polite and softly spoken guy who told it straight - he knew what he was talking about and it was never about himself - not at all like the previous two Australia Coaches. RIP. 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a player, grew up watching his great team smash us every Ashes as a kid in the 70's. They and the Windies were amazing to watch. Imagine the personal record's they could have set if they had played as much cricket as they do now. RIP to a cricket legend. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizondave Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Just reading that Veronica Carlson died within the last week. As a lad in my 20s and loving Hammer Horror movies she was known for being bitten by Christopher Lee in 'Dracula Has Risen From The Grave'. Sad news.

Australia were having several warm up matches prior to the first test and one of those was at Finchley C C where I played football in the winter and used the club house as a base. Rod went into bat and we were all looking forward to seeing some quick runs. Unfortunately, to his obvious disgust he was out for a duck. He marched towards the Pavilion but well before the steps he launched his bat towards the closed doors and took out one of the wired glass Windows. I don't think he was happy but I recall he did get a big cheer. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britboy Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Crikey, that's so sad. Shane Warne was a great player and a great guy. He loved the banter with the barmy army. Only 52. Rest in Peace Shane . . 😪 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP the greatest bowler ever IMO 😩 Totally agree, best cricketer of our lifetime, I drew up my own will last week and family members were questing me as to why, and I'm 2 years younger than poor Shane. Struggling to believe it ,as you say he looked very healthy compared to his playing days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there at the MCG when he got his 700th Test wicket - still has the record IMO - all the wickets taken by a chucker should be removed from the Test records. I was also there at the MCG when the crowd called out 'No Ball' after every delivery - he was taken off after a few overs. Their coach later complained that it had upset him and the Aussies were cheating. The consensus fired back at them was that it was his bowler who was cheating and that our Umpire (Darryl Hair) was right when he was no-balling him earlier that year. Shane Warne was the greatest ever bowler in cricket - period. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Vale Warnie RIP Gone way way to soon. At his best - A nicely balanced tribute to Shane Warne from Peter FitzSimons. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/the-end-for-shane-warne-at-52-i-still-can-t-quite-believe-it-20220305-p5a1zc.html The stylish Gideon Haigh concludes this tribute to Warne with, “There will now be no old age for him either, against which he would surely have chafed. He has departed while the memory of him is fresh and green, and while the consensus remains that, no, there will never be another Warne. One was quite extraordinary enough.” https://amp.theaustralian.com.au/sport/cricket/gideon-haigh-in-a-prim-censorious-game-shane-warne-was-the-soul-of-indiscretion/news-story/e20deb468334b2d1da55db9a5020f82b Just announced - MCG's Great Southern Stand to be renamed the S.K Warne Stand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
