Thommo, in his twighlight years by this stage, but still bowled a lot of extremely rapid deliveries. Magnificent bowler, along with Frank Tyson, the fastest bowler ever to play the game
Thanks Rhett. This test was a couple of weeks before I was born. It’s nice to wonder what my son would think what sport I was watching just before he was born.
If Norman Cowans had been better managed by his captain, Bob Willis, during this tour, he would, i think, have gone on to a stellar test match career. As it was, he didn't play another test after the age of 25. Such a waste.
The Toowoomba Clydesdale. What a terrific bowler Carl was,but it was Henry's innings. Gee...how stiff was Cowans? Wessels and Hookesy....what an opening pair that would have made.
