Richard Stobo - Memories of that Grand Old Stand - Part 2

Sutherland had been sent into bat on a wicket with a bit of life early on, but their strong top order, which included NSW and Test player John Dyson and future NSW and Queensland player Rod Davison, saw them reach 2-70-odd without too many problems.

Bowling from the southern end before lunch, I decided to test Rod out with a bouncer. A compact left-hander and prolific run-scorer, Rod moved inside it and played a hook shot but caught the ball a little high on the bat. It sailed high towards the pavilion but Jamie Bray, fielding at fine leg, sprinted hard to his right along the boundary, dived, and held an extraordinary catch only inches from the ground, and perilously close to the gutter – no ropes in those days. It was skillful, brave and magnificent.
