Such a great song. Funny, I always assumed the band was American because of the sound and Brooker's voice sounded American to me

Always seemed like a good guy. Told Greg Chappell to pull his head in to no avail in 1981.

First off, RIP Rod.
Secondly was that the case ? I was three and a half years old when the underarm happened so to be fair the memory is a bit hazy but I’ve read a bit on it and don’t recall that happening ( again, recent memory might be a bit hazy for different reasons ) Pretty easy for the kiwi press to label all Aussies fluffybunnies I guess…..
I find it interesting that he didn’t make the list of 100 greatest cricketers in my favourite cricket book I have ( keepers like Gilly, Alan Knott, Jack Blackham, Godfrey Evans, Syed Kirmani, Les Ames, Wasim Bari, Ian Healy and Andy Flower all ranked above him ) but he always seemed highly rated elsewhere ? ( others of his generation like Jeff Dujon and our own Ian Smith missed out too )
I suppose wicket keeper is a really tough position to gauge “greatness”…….but 96 tests behind the stumps to Lilliee, Thommo, Pasco and whoever else plus a cheeky trio of test hundreds speaks of a pretty fucken decent cricketer to me.
RIP once again.

I can't.hear what he is saying. But the body language says "don't do it"
