That was a fine tribute, David. Even though I spent many years in broadcasting, I find it easy to forget the maestros of the OB when lost in the game.
Sports coverage continues to improve as does the ‘magic’ of technology you describe. The first Australia v Pakistan test was terrific viewing. The OB guys are still working overtime.
Thanks for relating Brian’s story. It made me regret that I never met him. Or you for that matter!
Brian was my uncle, my dad's brother, the youngest of his parents seven children. I have many fine memories of him, incl. his having me included in the audience of many Chanel Nine TV shows, both in the chanel nine studios and other outside venues. He promoted me to contestant on Cabbage Quiz with Desmond Tester and Penny Spence many years ago. We lost touch over the years but I always happily claimed him as my uncle whenever the chance popped up and am always grateful for his kindnesses.

Vale "uncle Brian".
He was my neighbour until recently and a very fine person with integrity and a rascally wit. Will miss him, RIP Brian ❤️
