    End of an era. I have a small family connection too - my Dad trained some of the 28th radio operators before they left NZ

    From Chappell on Ian Redpath: https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/obituary-ian-chappell-remembers-ian-redpath-the-soft-spoken-fierce-competitor-1463072

    The whole article is worth a read, but the conclusion especially:

    Redda played many fine and important innings for Australia but two really stand out in my mind.

    In 1973-74 he made a marvellous 159 not out in Auckland, carrying his bat on a tricky pitch. Despite his being known for his solid defence and ability to survive tough conditions, he still managed to hit 20 boundaries.

    Then in 1975-76 on a stifling hot day at the MCG against a strong West Indies attack, he batted virtually the whole first day to score a stubborn century. It was Redpath at his technical best - defying the bowling and the heat to score the first of three centuries in that series.

    Just before he passed away I spoke to Annabel, one of Redda's daughters, and said, "Could you please tell your father it was a privilege to play with him and to be his friend."

    Pays to read the story, not just the by line. Reports of Paul Hogan's demise have been greatly exaggerated. The crocodile died, the Australian actor is very much alive
