Great cricketer, always liked him.

RIP - a super cricketer. 96 tests in the 1970s-80s is not a trivial achievement.

If I remember correctly, held the world record for "Tinnies" on a flight over for The Ashes

RIP Rodney, lived life to the full.

It would have been before my time when he was at the peak of his powers but always sad to see the loss of an old character.

These characters are just not being replaced.


Rest in Peace

God Bless

Sad news. One of my favourite cricketers.
RIP Rod.

RIP Rod. Great cricketer, and a great character.

Rod did ninety odd, Boonie topped that with 104. They had to carry him off the plane, both his arms around the shoulder of his colleagues. They were well impressed back in Oz .

Oh. What a 24hrs. Probably the best spinner ever and then one of the best characters.
