A great character lost from the game...Kerry Packer promised him a job for the rest of his life and he had it !

One less living being to imitate. :(
Oh well, admired him greatly. After all, he was born in Saffer, went to England and realised that Australia was the best place to be. A true master of the game who did it his way.
RIP

Yes, it is a huge loss for the cricket industry. No one can complete his position.
