Probably 1989 when some Ponting made me drive him to Shellharbour so he could get on the sauce

Good times.

I think the answer to the original question is unequivocally, without any shadow of a doubt, positively... Perhaps.

Thanks Sir Humphrey.

by Bradman Thu 16 Jul 2009, 03:32

I retract. If you were Sir Humphrey it would come naturally.

I don't think this thread will catch on

Afraid of a little competition? Cool

Which former dubber batsman has a Cricinfo profile containing two photographs of his dead body?

by Zat Mon 03 Aug 2009, 13:27

Shane Watson?

Some clues -

He didn't play tests himself but had a mid 40s first class batting average

His uncle played test cricket for Australia

I thought that when I looked in here today one of the trivia buffs would have solved this. It should be easy enough. Just go to
http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/current/player/index.html

Click on "Players Index by letter" & spend an enjoyable couple of hours looking at the biographies of Australian first class cricketers. You don't need to click on the names of those that are still alive.

It's not Jack Marsh is it? And I haven't gone to any sites. And I realise he wasn't a batsman per se but thought this might be a trick question.

by WideWally Tue 04 Aug 2009, 10:35

No, it wasn't Jack Marsh but the player in question only died about four years after Marsh.

by Bradman Tue 04 Aug 2009, 10:42

OPh God! I should've realised. Back when I was young and single he died the death I always preffered.

Tozer. Shot and killed by his mistress?

by WideWally Tue 04 Aug 2009, 10:48

Well done. That's the man - Claude Tozer

... and his somewhat gory Cricinfo profile

Well he wnet out with a bang. Four of them apparently.

"Shot and killed by his deranged mistress"

Hmmm. Obviously disapproved of his strokeplay. Evil or Very Mad

by Bradman Tue 04 Aug 2009, 14:01

Just been surfing and she was a deranged patient. I think there's a lesson in that for all licenced medical practioners upping their patients meds.
