    787 first class games with batting and bowling average of 28 and 20 respectively. Wow.

    Outstanding captain and tactician who managed the likes of Boycott better than anyone and got the best out of his players. Up there with the best ever.

    Really sad about Tutu's death. Always had a smile on his face, a wicked wit and always told it like it was.

    Remember him being interviewed on TV and praising FW De Klerk for accepting Apartheid was wrong and having the courage to end it. When the interviewer mocked his praise he smiled, and gently said to the interviewer "When did you last tell your wife you were wrong and she was right?"

    What a class act he was.

    @sparky Tutu’s death doesn’t even make the front page of Stuff or the Herald. Shameful.

    I think it was Keith Holyoake who once said of the NZ Press that if he had made the All Blacks, the headlines on his death would be "Former All Black Keith Holyoake dies", rather than "Keith Holyoake, PM who won four General Elections, dies"

    Hard to believe it’s been 46 years since that ‘76 tour and Montreal Olympics.

    By today’s broadcast standards it’s hard to believe he wasn’t yanked off air for all the stuff he said about the good Bishop.

    (Btw been noticing somebody posting those ‘76 AB-Bok test matches on youtube recently, in their entirety, I just don’t have the stomach right now to re-watch.)
