Ex-Australia bowler dies
Print Edition
FORMER Australia medium-pace bowler and colorful television commentator Max Walker has died aged 68 after a long battle with skin cancer.
Cricket Australia said Walker played 34 tests between 1972-73 and 1977. He took 138 wickets at 27.47 and played 17 one-day internationals. Sporting a handlebar mustache, the Tasmanian was a fan favorite nicknamed “Tangles” for his unusual bowling action. A key figure into the launch of Kerry Packer’s rebel World Series Cricket in the late 1970s, Walker backed up quick legends Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson. With career-best figures of 8-143 against England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in 1975, Walker went on to enjoy a successful post-cricket media career. He became a popular commentator and author.
