Pound per Pound strongest Cricketers.

[Mister Wright]

Sir Learie Constine was fairly strong apprantly or a decent enough cricketer.

He was the person to hit a six off Eddie Gilbert - an Aboriginal fast bowler who played for Queensland and dismissed Bradman for a duck.

Apprantly very quick but never played for Australia perhaps because of colour and thus they felt he chucked.

Bradman said to Gilbert on his way back to the pavillion after getting a duck with a very stern look on his face , "You will never play cricket for Australia..." You can work out what the '...' is.

... any relation to Ashley Gilbert?
The one who had the infamous eye-to-chest confrontation with Ramps in the 1998\99 tour, in the Vic match where they were missing 8 first-team regulars.

Lee Carseldine is very strong , he owns a gym/fitness club in Brisbane & is in the opinion of his team-mates the fittest FC player in Australia ATM , not bad considering Andy Symonds & Andy Bichel number among them.

So infamous I can't remember it!

Was actually at the MCG dust up with Ramps/Gilbert.
I think Headley was bowling to Gilbert...a few words exchanged between the 2 and suddenly Ramps comes rushing in from the the covers and is giving Gilbert an earful.
I believe it was over an alleged racist comment. No idea whether that was true or not.

Aside from that I remember getting slaughtered in The Cricketers after the match with a few other England fans over there at the time. Happy days.

I have personally seen Brian McMillan from a distance of 3-4 feet. And he is VERY huge. And was a strong hitter too.

Even Mike Kasprowicz. Saw him personally. ANother huge guy. Someone did rmention it right, these Queenslanders...

Gillespie can bet a bit.
