Speaker Greg Ritchie

One of the characters of the game, and affectionately known as “Fat Cat”, the burly Ritchie developed into a first class batsman who possessed wonderful timing when in full, glorious flow.

Ritchie’s first venture to foreign shores was an unqualified success in an otherwise disastrous tour of Pakistan in 1982 and he headed both Test and tour averages, the only Australian to reach three figures in the series (106 not out at Faisalabad).  Then much to his chagrin, he was dropped for the Ashes series against England a few months later.

Ritchie forced his way back into the Test team for the 1985 series in England against the Poms and was one of the success stories of the tour in a team, which was badly defeated.
