Not to forget, he helped revolutionise cricket in this country through WSC - painful yes, but a great leap forward in the end.

Yes, I'm not much of a cricket historian.
It's often reported that WSC was Kerry Packer's idea, but as I understand it was an idea John Cornell sold to KP who backed/underwrote it, is that understanding correct?
RIP John, you're a bloody ripper mate. Fondly remembered and I am so glad others have noted your brilliant vision re cricket.

Correct

RIP Strop.
Another damn good Australian gone.
