Born in Geelong in 1941, Redpath played as an opening batsman and was known for a number of shots.

He played first-class cricket for Victoria and made his Test debut for Australia against South Africa in 1963-64.

The now 81-year-old was the last Australian cricketer to play as an amateur when, in 1963-64, he refused his match fee to avoid jeopardizing his amateur football career.

Redpath made 97 on his Test debut at the MCG against South Africa in 1963-64 and had to wait six years to record his first Test century.

During Australia’s tour of South Africa in 1969–70, Redpath hit a staggering 32 in one over, which remains the most by an Australian in first-class cricket.

Redpath played his last Test in 1976 and ended his career with eight hundreds in 66 Tests, he also played five ODIs and 226 first-class matches.

In retirement, Redpath received an MBE and pursued a career in antiques and coached the Victorian cricket team.

Jennings, born in Essendon in 1949, was a pioneer of women’s cricket. He played as a batsman and played eight Tests and 12 ODIs for Australia with one Test century.

Jennings made his Test debut against New Zealand in 1972, while his last Test came against India in 1977.

The now 73-year-old was the first female cricketer to hold the batting and open the batting as captain in both Test and ODI cricket.

After retirement, Jennings was a selector for the Australian women’s cricket team for several years.
