Walter Hadlee dies
Walter Hadlee, father of Barry, Dayle and the little-known Sir Richard, and the patriarch of one of the famous cricketing families, and whose three sons played not one but two one-dayers together, died earlier today, aged 91, after a prolonged illness.
The Hadlee family (and the Chappell one too, obviously!) is possibly the only one to have a cricket trophy named after it, the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy for an annual one-day series between Australia and New Zealand.
Tributes by Richard Boock and Don Cameron.
