And we can link (the late) Rodney Marsh to Australian music. The 1972 Australian Ashes Cricket team, when in England, were featured on a 45rpm single - Here Come The Aussies - made the Aust. Top 40 charts, and I think the U.K. ones as well. We have to assume he was in the chorus. The later 45rpm  (?1977)- C'mon Aussie, C'mon - also in the Top 40 - included the line "Marshie's keeping wickets". End of today's trivia!
