He was a cheap bugger to say the least. There's a story floating around about how some kids and their coach came round to Hadlee's house at his invitation and he sat them down for a couple of hours for a chat, which was all well and good.

A week or so later, New Zealand Cricket gets an invoice from RJ Hadlee totalling $17.50 for the tea and biscuits he had given to the kids and their coach.

And besides, if Paddles was your wife, he'd never let you use the Alfa Romeo... :ph34r:

Sigh. It was a reference to this...

You can only guess what some of Richard Hadlee's team-mates might have said about him during his playing years, and particularly after he announced his stance on keeping the "the car" as his player-of-the-series award. But in those days they were at least mature enough to cope with his foibles and still accept him for what he was the greatest bowler in the world.

Pretty sure the year was 1985/86.
