RIP Bob Holland

http://www.canberratimes.com.au/sport/cricket/former-australian-cricketer-bob-holland-passes-away-after-cancer-battle-20170917-gyjaso.html

[Red]

RIP Dutchie. I guess there would be many Sydneysiders with fond memories of his exploits at the dusty SCG of yore.

[skully]

Aw shit. RIP Dutchie.

Indeed Red. My Dad and I were at the SCG on New Years Day in 1985 (T5 of 84-85 series) when Bobby Holland took 6-fer in the WI first innings. Boonie had ground out a classy but hellishly slow 170-odd to set up a high 400 I1 total.

It was such a surreal experience after the WIs smashed us in the 1st 3 Tests, then we had a fighting draw in T4 at MCG. We then blitzed 'em courtesy of Boonie's big ton and the spin twins Holland and Bennett in T5. Other than Dutchie's 1st innings exploits, I will never forget Murray Bennett's arm ball that bowled Viv Richards in I2 to have us charging to victory.

[WideWally]

One of the strange things about his bowling was that he was very reluctant to use the googly. He seemed to concentrate on leggies & toppies. Many felt that he would have been more successful in test cricket with a bit more variety.

[JGK]

Aw shit. RIP Dutchie.

Wasn't it Wessels with the big slow ton?

[skully]

Yes, of course it was. 173 in 481 minutes out 9-471 dec. Apologies.

Boonie made his big slow ton (149 in 499 mins out of 401) in AB's game (11-96) in Jan 1989.

[horace]

Yes, of course it was. 173 in 481 minutes out 9-471 dec. Apologies.

Boonie made his big slow ton (149 in 499 mins out of 401) in AB's game (11-96) in Jan 1989.

Wessels cops it, but I think he helped install a bit of guts into Oz. He was a player with fair ability but wonderful application. 

Always suspected white Saffie fans were resentful about his defection -against Apartheid -  and his return to captain liberated SA.

[skully]

I had a lot of time for Wessels. He was treated like absolute shit by the Aus Cricket Board, although his form with the bat had waned by the time he was given the arse in late 1985. He had a fairly poor Ashes 1985, although not the worst of the bats.

[taipan]

Yes, of course it was. 173 in 481 minutes out 9-471 dec. Apologies.

As far as I know, Wessels was never anti apartheid. Any career moves he made were done with only one person in mind. Himself.

[Fred Nerk]

Wessels and Boon both had footwork that made King Kong look like Helpmann. Which may have helped against that lot.

RIP Dutchy

[lardbucket]

RIP Bob.

Lady Fairfax kicks off at 95

"Lady Mary Fairfax has died peacefully at her family home in Sydney, aged 95.

In a statement, Lady Mary's family said she died on Sunday night following a recent significant deterioration in her health.

Members of the Fairfax family, one of Australia's great media dynasties, have gathered at Fairwater — Lady Mary's harbourfront estate in Double Bay.

Born Maire Wein in Warsaw, Poland, she was the third wife and widow of Sir Warwick Oswald Fairfax."

---------------------------------------

Would've thought she was a prime candidate for a horrie nomination, but alas no.

[horace]

Hehe. Warwick is a likely nom from me. Cretin.

[horace]

Charles Owens and Jack LeMotta both pegged out

Owens devised the long shaft putter. He was an African American and pro golfer. Have attached his obit.

[skully]

Aw, RIP to LaMotta. 95 was a great bout.

Charles Owens and Jack LeMotta both pegged out

Owens devised the long shaft putter. He was an African American and pro golfer. Have attached his obit.

Great article on Owens, h.

[lardbucket]

No one has commented yet on the loss of Dr Evelyn Scott a couple of days ago.  She was a giant of Australian indigenous and gender politics. RIP.

[lardbucket]

Charles Bradley also gone. I was lucky enough to see (and hear) him a couple of years ago. What a voice, and a great story.

[Growler]

Two actors gone who were well known in Britain (maybe less so in Aus/SA).

At 85 Tony Booth, the "Scouse git" son-in-law of Alf Garnett in Till Death Us Do Part. He was the father of Cherie Booth, wife of ex-PM Tony Blair.

Aged 77, Liz Dawn, who played the character Vera Duckworth for 34 years in the worlds longest running soap opera, Coronation Street.

Links to news write-ups from their names. RIP

[horace]

RIP to both.

I was very fond of Til death us do.Part. Booth was terrific.

[taipan]

RIP to both.

I was very fond of Til death us do.Part. Booth was terrific.

Probably too non PC for TV today
