Good memory CP! I'd forgotten all about him

Got lucky on that one Hondo, I can remember listening to the game in the office that day on the sly and unbeknownst to one another there was 4 of us doing the same thing and all got up excitedly at the same time to share the same news.


I heard that on radio that day, too. He didn't get another game after that.

Jimmy Maher, Dene Hills the list goes on. In the late 90's/ early 00's Australia could have feilded 2 world class sides with a 3rd being very competative at Test level...... You can see why some of these blokes never really got a go, we had some talent lying around.....

We're not talking about crap music groups who only got any sort of notoriety because they were cricketers RR
