Thoroughly enjoyed the special honouring this cricket legend tonight(it followed on from some BS ninja show its seriously crap)
I reckon my interest in Australian cricket has waned a bit in the last decade or so but back in the day he was fantastic in the commentary box with Greigy.Clearly remember him calling Tugger on the Perfect Day too(a truly great cricketing occasion and maybe my all time favourite), Lawry was just a great, passionate and self deprecating man..very good cricketer too before my time.Still pretty sharp at 83 years young too.
"Thanks for the memories Bill"
