In my opinion the greatest Australian sportsman of the last 50 years. He also had the best cricketing brain of them all and I'm only glad that he didn't captain Oz, because I believe that they would have thumped us even more, if he had. There have been fulsome tributes from far and wide, but the most telling are from colleagues he met in Fleetwood when playing Lancashire league cricket when he was a teenager and how he was still regularly in touch with them and helping them out. An absolute legend!
Warner, Smith etc not fit to be mentioned in the same post, cheating, conniving bastards; the absolute opposite of what he was. A fearsome competitor, but true sportsman.
Great post mate apart from being a legend apparently very loyal to those that he loved
