RIP His enthusiasm for the game was there for all to see, thanks to CW, till his very last breath. Hope he did not suffer much and it was peaceful. God bless and we will miss him here at CW enormously.

Saw Maclean had passed away a couple of days ago, but wasn't sure if he was JBMAC.

Yeah I'm not sure about that. Maclean's names are John Alexander - JA not JB.

Probably the right vintage but not our man for the reason Starfighter mentioned. Without giving too much away I don't think our man's name is John.

Oops

 

[honestbharani]

Oh sincere apologies to JBMac in that case. Hope he is doing well and continues to have a long and happy life

Can we delete the above posts since they are not right?

 

[the big bambino]

There might be a case for that as it could be inadvertently upsetting. Or he could laugh at it like Mark Twain and say it was an exaggeration.

Apologies to all here especially JBMAC.

The coincidence of the name and the era in which he played led to the unfortunate jumping to a conclusion.

I' m glad we are still able to hear JBMAC's stories of watching Bradman and of facing up to Wes Hall and Thommo in their primes.

Apologies once again.

No, live with the shame.
