Our RCB Queen ❤️

I came across this Podcast just recently. For reasons which might become obvious, the name of Peter Bedford piqued my interest. Love your work Adam, and that of the other people who contribute to its production. Peter and I attended Parade College in East Melbourne, during to early to mid 60s. I feel no shame in saying that Peter was a much better cricketer than I. If I recall correctly, in his season with the school's under 15 team, Peter took a remarkable 49 wickets at something like an average of 9 runs per wicket. The seasons were basically half the length of normal seasons. Come the following season, I tried out with the senior team, as did Peter. He managed to succeed, where I did not. However, all was not lost, I got the job of umpiring the team's games throughout the season. Unfortunately, Peter was rarely able to bowl during the season, due to a fielding accident, in which he split the webbing between two of his fingers, before the season started. The umpiring I did during this season encouraged me to umpire professionally, for twenty years, after I retired from 30 years of playing. Like Peter I also maintained a further interest in cricket, as an administrator for forty years, and as a scorer for ten years. We also shared a common interest in many things Port Melbourne. My first serious girlfriend was Liz King, who lived in Port (in a bank house (?), I seem to recall). Her brother, John, also attended Parade College. Every Sunday when Port were playing at home, Liz and I would head down to Port Oval and watch Peter play. We did this for a couple of seasons, including Peter's last one with Port. The improvement in Peter's play between and his second-last and last seasons was striking. Despite playing the whole season as a centreman, he had become a tremendous high mark, to go with his other extraordinary talents. A pre-season at South under Norm Smith knocked the high-marking out of his game, as it did for so many others entering VFL football in those days. I was unaware that Peter had studied at the teacher's college in Glenferrie Rd. I too studied there, in the late 1980s, doing a degree in Professional Writing. It was known as Victoria College when I was there. I believe it now serves as a campus of Deakin University. It has been lovely to reminisce. Must be gettin' old. Peter hasn't changed a jot. Still imbued with a dry wit and a self-effacing manner. Still that charming personality. Like most who attended our school, he employs a splendid turn of phrase. Once again, thanks for the Podcast.

What a great interview. And what a fantastic person and cricketer is Sophie Molineux.

Good on Mick Lewis for mentioning the old HDCA and some of the fast bowlers, like Dale McDonald from Bellfied ,

FINCH is my god ❤❤

I still remember him getting Sehwag, Gambhir, Laxman and Tendulkar. If you think that is easy, think twice and appreciate.

what a talnet he was, the world of cricket if going to miss him

So good 😀😇

Cannot believe my fav hero has no comment and 1k view, even though I know nobody would watch this comment. Thanks Patto

There might be a new Steve Smith but never a new Glenn Maxwell

What an inspiration she's been to all those young girls aspiring to be professional cricketers at the highest level 😊!!

Lovely conversation 😊

Eagerly waiting for Tayla's comeback 😊

one of the fastest bowler ever he usually used to hit 150 kph most of the time

Great interview Darren, hope to see you again at a match, unless yr passing through HK

Finch 💖💖💖

This bloke tells an honest story, good interview,

What a bowler . Crazy talent. Great story as well

Don't let the Big V down! Good luck, fellas.

Wonderful interview. So honest. Its great to hear from someone who hasn't gone through the standard pathways and just plays to have fun.

So good Finchy. I am a fellow Victorian myself. I have had the honour to watch you play over the years. You are my favorite player. It has been great to see you evolve as a great player and leader. I will never forget how you open the batting with Warner at international level. I was a young kid in my early teens when you started and were playing . It was enjoyable to watch you play. I am 23 now and I still enjoy watching you play for the Renegades. One of my fond memories of cricket growing up was when Australia won the ODI world cup at the MCG in 2015. 😀😇

Kind of sad he wasn't picked after that SA match :/

A fantastic bowler for Victoria! Was there the day after he got his first 5fa and got to congratulate him when he signed my book! A fantastic servant for Victoria!!

Really enjoyed Best of luck bro..ur sister

Now Scored a Ton against Quality South Africa bowling line up

How unlucky has Glen been. The National selectors really screwed him. Was it because he was pigeonholed or because he’s a Victorian. He really wants to play test cricket.

Good on you Ash. Super proud Lankan roots. Hope you success all the way to represent Australia in the international arena 🙌

Just watching this after Annabel Sutherland's heroics for the stars!

Awesome stuff!

See you at church Sunday Ash 😉

This really was unreal. Please get bobby back soon!
