    Hi George , Rick McCosker came out in the 2nd innings at number 10 batsman and made 25, a very important knock as i recall ,Gutsy . . I was also there during that test match and saw the great David Hookes hit Tony Greig for 5 fours in row... !!!!.
    Ditto.

    Why a four-year-old child could understand this report! Run out and find me a four-year-old child, I can't make head or tail of it.

      Hi Fishy,

      I didn't have the privilege of being there, but I was glued to the television broadcast. The commentators were suggesting that McCosker would not come back in the second innings, but he did, with his jaw wired, and contributed to the win. A profile in courage.

      Cheers, George

        I was there and was amazed to see Rick McCosker come out to bat and bandaged up resembling the Mummy. It remains one of the most courageous things I've ever seen on a sporting field. The runs he scored were crucial in Australia winning that Centenary Test.
