Norm O’Neill.
Sydney: Norm O’Neill, one of the great Australian Test batsmen of the sixties, died on Monday at the age of 71, Cricket Australia said.
O’Neill played 42 Tests from 1958 to 1965, scoring 2,779 runs at an average of 45.55, including six centuries. He was an aggressive right-hander, but gained the nickname ‘Nervous Norm’ for his reputation of being an uncertain starter.
O’Neill, who toured England twice with the Australians in 1961 and 1964, was also a handy leg-spin bowler and captured 17 wickets at 39.24 with a Test best of four for 41 against the West Indies at Port-of-Spain in 1965.
A Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1962, his many international highlights included an innings of 181 in the December 1960 tied Test against the West Indies in Brisbane. — Agencies
