I hadn’t heard of her, so I googled. The first hit was a news.com.au article reporting that she had stage 4 breast cancer (v sad), involving - amongst other areas - her NYMPH nodes.

The story is sad, and the standard of reporting is tragic.

Indeed tragic. It's why I didn't embrace this "game" in the 1st year. I felt it very ghoulish. But I relented in Chiv's 2nd year of the game, then took over for him after that.

Still, if you don't go for "old", you have to go for "sick". shrug

Tony would have been in his mid teens then. I always thought he was older than he was. The name Gordon Boyd, like the name Fanny Adams, means nothing to me.

There was a place called Petrone's in South Springvale, literally the only building for miles around, which I would drive past at least once a week all through the late 80s and 90s. Johnny Chester, John Rowls, Ross D Wylie, Liv Maessen, Izzy Di, (and the ubiquitous Manny Moore) would all be on the Billboard every few months - but Tony P seemed to play there about every three weeks.

Bruce Murray aged 82

Bruce was an opening batsman for New Zealand between 1967/68 & 1970/71. He wasn't successful in Tests scoring 598 runs @ 23.92 including 5 fifties in 13 matches. However, he sticks in my mind because he played in one of the first televised FC matches that I saw - the game between Qld & NZ in Dec 1967. Bruce scored 98 in the first innings featuring in a 144 run 3rd wicket partnership with century-maker, Vic Pollard.

Bruce's grand-daughters, Amelia & Jess Kerr, play international cricket for New Zealand & for Brisbane Heat in the women's Big Bash.

by lardbucket Tue 10 Jan 2023, 14:39

Apparently BAG Murray is one of only three international players with a Test bowling average of zero!

I’m not sure who the others are.
