00:00It's a good game and it's one that you can play later in life if you dedicate it to fitness
00:08which I contribute a lot to the fact that I'm ever smoked and I very little drink.
00:18Hello I'm Andrew Moyer and I'm here in Aubrey-Wodonga which is hosting the over 75s and over 80s
00:23Masters cricket competitions and I'm joined by the oldest player in the carnival Doug Crowe.
00:28How are you mate?
00:31Yes, it's a long time.
00:33It is, it is. Now I'll just speak a little louder because Doug's a little hard of hearing but
00:38Doug you're 96, you're potentially the oldest player in Australia and potentially the world.
00:45How does that make you feel?
00:46Makes me feel old.
00:48Yeah, it certainly does. Were they short for players the next day? Is that right?
00:52And then you played for England?
00:53We had a dig after the game and of course I had a squash but we had a dig after
01:00the game
01:00and they told us that they were short and I said well I'll be right and that was in Geelong
01:09and I opened the batting for England the next day.
01:13So Doug, you're 96 years of age, you've played for Australia, you've played for England,
01:18there's probably nobody else in the world who could say that I would think.
01:21Well it's a fairly big record.
01:25It's a good resume.
01:25It's a good resume.
