The RIP Thread

RIP Rod, great player and along with Lillee and Thomson were the first really in your face Aussies I can remember seeing live. They seemed to almost invent sledging between them.
 
Part of the fearsome Australian side that had Lillie and Thompson as their opening bowlers, but always played within the spirit of the game...... sledging on the pitch, beers off it...... he was the wicket keeper in that infamous underarm final ball incident between Australia and New Zealand and you can see him saying "don't do it" and looking absolutely disgusted at what was unfolding......... 74 is no age these days, but he certainly packed a lot into those years.....
