That is just.......Wow, I am speechless. To me that it what being a collector/supporter is all about. Great mailday Mark, I still have my multi-coloured autograph book from the early 90's

Now those were some great players

WSC was sensational. My son recently gave me the HOWZAT dvds and it took me back to Waverley Park and the early days.
Raw, energetic and Vic Richards standing up and giving it stick.
Big Bird an absolute giant hurling down bombs.
Great stuff and they took the roadshow to Traralgon in country Victoria where I lived.
Have a number of itineraries from the era, sigh.
We mostly copped a shellacking but it was mighty awesome to behold.

Regards Russell
