Sydney: Former Australian cricket captain and coach Bob Simpson has died aged 89, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese praising the all-rounder for his "extraordinary service" to the sport. Cricket Australia confirmed his death in Sydney in a statement on Saturday.
Simpson played 62 Test matches, captaining Australia in 39, at an average of 46.81.
He grew up in Sydney and first toured with Australia in 1957, becoming one of the best all-round cricketers to play for the country.
It took until his 30th Test for Simpson to break his first century -- achieving 311 runs at Old Trafford in 1964.
He retired after the 1967 series, but made a comeback a decade later, aged 41, during the World Series Cricket era.
