Jim Higgs lived in our street when I was a kid. He was playing for Australia at the time and used to come out and play with us in the street. When he wasn’t playing, he’d have a beer with my Dad as they chatted and watched on. He gave me an almost brand new four piece ball which I treasured for years. What a bowler. What a guy.
Eric Hollies is most famous for taking Bradman's last test wicket and for having Edgbaston;s famous and often raucous stand named after him. His batting though must have rivalled Higgs in it's infamy, 1673 fc runs average 5 as opposed to his highly creditable bowling figures of 2, 323 wickets average 20.94

The Ashes if the one series where I'd rather watch a 5-0 whitewash over a tight contest
Yep. Especially this year with all the “saved Test cricket” nonsense - and other comments just as bad - that has come from this team.
1998 Boxing Day test: Steve Waugh takes the extra half hour, Alec Stewart is furious.
Steve Waugh takes a single and exposes Matthew Nicholson to Dean Headley. England steal the final 3 wickets to win a remarkable test.

If Bradman had equalled Hollies' first class batting average in that test at the Oval in 1948 he'd have averaged 100 in tests though....
