Bob Simpson: Australian Cricket Captain And Influential Coach

By AFP News August 16, 2025 • 15:01 PM View: 874

Bob Simpson, who has died at the age of 89, was the archetypal granite-jawed comic-book Australian cricketer who opened the batting, bowled leg-spin and is still cited as the greatest slip catcher the game has seen.

Across four decades, in different roles, he was a key figure in Australian cricket.
