The iconic channel 9 cricket commentator Bill Lawry will retire from the commentary box at the end of Australia's test series with Sri Lanka. He will do two more test matches - the boxing day test at Melbourne, and the Sydney test from January 3 to 7.
If you are a Lawry fan, these are your last opportunities to listen to him live. I am, and intend to catch as much of the TV action during these two test matches as I can.
Lawryisms like "It's all happening there", and "you beauty" have become standard commentary phrases now. Lawry's unique voice, the trademark laughter, and the excitement in his commentary are unforgettable.
Thanks for the memories Bill, we will miss you. Wish you the best with your health and retirement.
