Good morning Gideon

Many thanks for your piece on Bert Alderson who turns 100 today. Bert is held in high esteem by all those who have been associated with Central Cumberland and with Sydney University. Your article has done him justice on this special day. He’s had a remarkable life.

He's a marvel. Another of his team-mates from his first stint at University, Dr Don Scott-Orr (nephew of MA Noble) is still going strong at 94, and Bert played Claxton Shield against Basil Rigg, the WA Sheffield Shield all-rounder, who is 98.
