It took us an hour and forty minutes to drive from Caringbah to St. Peters. All of the telephones were out of order, at work, because of the unrelenting torrential rain.
Former Australian left-arm fast bowler, Alan Davidson, was the guest speaker at this evening’s function, held on the behalf of Rotary, at the St. George Sailing Club. He related a brief history of cricket and then reminisced over some of his on-field experiences, which for the most part centred around an English counterpart, namely “Fiery” Fred Truman, and the late Australian wicketkeeper, Wally Grout. Former St. George and ‘Kangaroo’ hooker, Ian Walsh, was a member of the audience. Tickets were sixteen dollars and fifty cents a head.
