When a Canadian Club Cricket Team Played Australia Led by Greg Chappell and Dennis Lillee in 1975
This was going to be a game against The Australian National Team comprised of some of the most accomplished cricketers ever to play Down Under who were visiting our ground at Armour Heights. It was their third game in three days in Toronto. Many of these Aussies had lost on the same ground two days before: Greg Chappell, Lillee, Higgs, Marsh, Walker, Laird, Turner and McCosker.
It was their last game before heading off for the headline series, the Inaugural World Cup which would take place in England in a few days.
Australia was going to bat first. I had the honour of being one of the opening bowlers along with Basil Peters. And it wasn’t just an honour. I knew if the captain was giving me the new ball that I had a job to do.
