My first bat had Bobby Simpson name on it ,wish I still had it. What a gentleman of the Game

Bob Simpsons coaching of Australia after Lillee, Marsh, Chappell etc all retired took a young team that were rank underdogs to win the CWC, and forged the team that would come to dominate in the 90's. He was hard but fair. Wouldn't last a series with the current lot of divas.

Bob is one of the great legends of Australian cricket and Test cricket as a whole. I’d put him up there as one of cricket’s great leaders alongside blokes like Mike Brearly

His legacy was strengthened by returning at the age of 41 when the superstars joined Packer.

I was looking forward to getting some interesting insights into Simmo's career. Instead we got insights into everyone else's.

What's F.S.T.?

[@garyjohnson4778]

Bobby Simpson, one of the most boring batsman in history and a man behind his times. Fitted the 1940's. What a fuddy duddy.

its strange he worried about chuckers and played with wayne clarke in his team during his comeback who was known as a chucker but still selected
