In fairness she was probably in pigtails last time he picked up a cricket bat

 

[NSWCROW]

Been out all morning and only just found out.

Gutted.



Hardest hitter i've ever seen, i remember hearing that he put a straight 6 into the old Bradman stand at Adelaide Oval vs Zimbabwe once.


RIP

What a horrible 6 months for Australian cricket. Any news on the cause of the accident?

 

[Father Jack]

Just watching Cricket Legends with Crash Craddock interviewing Roy, and being reminded just how badly Roy was hung out to dry by CA over the 'monkey' thing. Bastards.

I see your point of view but alot of people including myself believe Symonds and the Australian's massively over reacted.

Maybe but probably neither the time nor the place to rake over that.

You woulda thought fox would have had more highlights to show of Roy then the same cricketing legends interview

Can't believe it. What an entertaining cricketer with bat, ball and in the field.

Vale Roy, Vale to his fielding charts too.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Dare say the Fox team will have a different feel about it next summer, two of the biggest personalities gone just like that.

There'll certainly be a poignant feel to the first Test next summer.

 

[HawkerHurricane]

such an entertaining cricketer, one of the best

 

[Cleavy]

He was only called into the Aussie squad as a last minute replacement for Warney for the drug ban.

We had injuries to others including Lehman so had to play him even though he had no form.

4/86 and he rescues us with one of the greatest World Cup innings vs a potent Paki attack.

Check this footage out where Roy tells Waqar Younis to fu** off after he cracked it and starting sending beamers at his head.



Him and Warney were my favourites. Gutted. RIP.

was Lehmann injured, or under suspension due to racial words in the games vs Sri Lanka? thought it was the latter but my timeline might be off?

 

[Around the Wicket]

Can they determine in the autopsy if he had a medical issue or just fell to sleep in the lead up to the crash?

[SSwans2011]

****ing hell, that's just awful news. Bit of a hard one to process, particularly so soon after Warney. Was one of the better commentators to listen to. Always loved other commentators throwing to him when there was a mistake in the field and him giving a deadpan response that he'd added it to the the runs saved/cost ledger.

Maybe, just maybe we can stop with the speculation for a few weeks? A few days even...? It'll all come out in time, regardless.

They're probably still putting it together. I'm sure it'll happen soon enough.
