Cricket Legends - Doug Walters

Robert 'Crash' Craddock catches up with Doug Walters.

Doug as a "character" and larrikin. Wished they had touched on more about his cricket history and career. One of the best batsmen in the 60's and 70's.

[@tonylove4800]

It's a shame his test bowling was never touched on. I can remember him as a very useful change bowler. He took 49 test wickets at 29 with a five-for. Now that is handy.

[@greymorris9006]

Dougy opened the Doug Walters Oval in Katherine in 1979 and it was there we all found him to be a terrific bloke. As a batsman he was his own man and I saw that when he got a brilliant 100 between tea and stumps against the Poms at Perth in 1974.

My all time favourite! 🍻🍻

[@deanpd3402]

What a great interview.

[@stevewhite8487]

I loved the way this man played I remember listening to the radio when he made 250

[@dennispicone6801]

After spending a couple of years in the service, I am very sure that if K D Walters was playing today and batting at five or six, it wouldn't be a drama. 😊

[@kenclayton5088]

Partnership breaker with the ball...great to watch with bat..

[@RodinThink28]

A likeable larrikin, Doug was a colorful character who enriched the game and brought in a fresh flavor of friendliness

[@PimlicoSteve]

How long ago were these interviews done? Really enjoying them.

[@agr7879]

Don’t forget he averaged nearly 50 in test cricket!

[@papprajoosachanarayana2834]

excellent cricketer

[@wespaul9345]

What is it with blokes like him. "In juniors I was a bowler." I suppose he just thought I'd have a go at batting... went on to be an all-time great.

[@arshedfazal]

Very few blokes remember how good Doug was in his prime! He could give it a good ol wack!

[@sentimentalbloke185]

The Dungog Dasher

[@coalfacechris1336]

Like Crash, but too many questions about Doug's beer and skittles, not his game.

[@foddyfoddy]

I was going to say exactly the same. It's almost as though he's suggesting that young players follow the same path.

[@malcolmlee2935]

Fucxxxg legend, onya dougie

[@dlamiss]

He didnt have a great record in England BUT i believe Australia would have won both at Headingly and Edgbaston had he been picked in 1981

[@malcolmlee2935]

Is that mel Gibson playing cards with dougie,wtf

[@stephenhoward358]

If you listen it's not mel gibson

[@michaelboyce7079]

For years I used to hear stories of what a hilarious addition to every dressing room Walters was. Then there was TV show produced about the humour of Australian cricketers and not only were none of them the least bit humourous, one of the worst was Walters! Fair dinkum, he was about as funny as a toothache!
