RIP or something like that, professional Toorak 'kept woman' and anti-feminist rent-a-gob from the 1980s, the appallingly named and generally just appalling Babette Francis. (No known evidence that Babbles was Bruce's mother, Lardy, but willing to hear submissions on the matter)

Appallingly named - I agree. Had she never thought of changing her name to Babette Lamington- Nurdler, or indeed anything more respectable than the unfortunate Francis?

Even Babette Smith would have been OK.

Best known for'Summer of the 17th Doll'.

Aged 103, probably close to exactly 100 years after the last time he was called 'Raymond'.

RIP Anshuman Gaekwad, aged 71

He played 40 tests for India between 1974 & 1984 mainly as an opening batsman. His father Datta Gaekwad, also an test cricketer, passed away earlier this year.

If Billy B had heard of him he would doubtless have been much better known by now as Inhuman Awkward
Was a late addition to the 77-78 Oz venture after Mohinder Amarnath's little bro got injured. A grafting opener who suffered from always having at least one same-only-better player ahead of him. Also served on BCCI for many years (unless I'm very much Murray W)

Could have made himself unavailable for some of those difficult matches (“done a Boycott”).

I have just become aware of the recent demise of an Australian Nobel laureate, Robin Warren, who shared his Nobel Prize for Medicine with Barry Marshall after they discovered the cause of most peptic ulcer disease to be Helicobacter pylori, and thus curable with antibiotics rather than the previously employed barbaric surgery and/or endless gastric acid neutralisation or suppression. Their discovery (Warren was the pathologist who saw the organism on the biopsy slides) has improved the lives of millions. I would have expected more publicity of his passing, and grateful public acknowledgment of his contribution to science and medicine.

Given Thorpe's illness (still no details), maybe we missed an opportunity.

Multiple Grammy winner, genius keyboardist Shaun Martin of the great jazz ensemble Snarky Puppy. I was lucky to see him / them play twice.
