I just read that former WA and Australian leg-spinner Tony Mann has passed away after a seven-year battle with pancreatic cancer.
Of course, Tony was no slouch with the bat, scoring 105 as a nightwatchman in the 1977 WACA Test against India.
I had no idea that Tony had been sick, but commiserations to his family, friends, the Midland-Guildford cricket family, and his former Shield and Test teammates.
The Mann family name is synonymous with the Swan Valley area.
Condolences to Tonys family and friends.
Very sad to hear about the passing of Tony Mann.Tony was one of my first memorys of cricket. With that grear wrongon against the tail.
