Vale Max Walker

Max Walker died today, one of the funniest characters in sport.

Much-loved former Australian Test cricketer Max Walker has died, aged 68, after well-regarded careers as an international fast-bowler and colourful commentator.

Walker became a high-profile author, media personality and public speaker after an eight-year run with the Australian cricket team.

He made his Test debut in 1973 and took 138 wickets in 34 Tests, with his bizarre medium-pace bowling action earning him the nickname 'Tangles'.

Re: Vale Max Walker

Strange thing is that I cannot remember him at all and I was much more interested in cricket in the 70's than I am now.

Re: Vale Max Walker

No idea who he is but rip Max.

Re: Vale Max Walker

Never heard of him, might add with such an unusual name i thought i would have.

Re: Vale Max Walker

Never heard of him either

Re: Vale Max Walker

He was first change bowler after Lillee and Thommo. Surely you remember them.

Re: Vale Max Walker

Not heard of them either but I'm not really a sports fan.

Re: Vale Max Walker

One can understand why Poms would choose not to remember him

" He would take 8/143 in the second dig of the sixth Test of the 1974-75 Ashes at the MCG, ensuring a 4-1 series win for Australia ... "

Re: Vale Max Walker

Really can't remember him and nor can several of my mates. Have not checked but did he tour over here?
