I remember watching his hat-trick ball, also the first of the WI 2nd innings, and not really thinking it would happen. I think it was a 3 over, 2 innings hat-trick. Curtly bowled the most dominating spell of fast bowling i have seen on his way to that 7/25. NOTE: Some research tells me that his bowling firgures for his 3rd spell of the innings were an amazing 7/1. Wow! Merv was my favourite cricketer as a kid.

Greg Chappel's maiden century I don't go to the cricket now it has been taken over by flag waving nationalist ( off all hues) morons be it the spectators or pundits . Get the bloody rifraff out of the cricket . To me the most memorable performances have been :
