Mr Wally Grout

The man who filled the wicket keeping gloves of fellow Queensland Don Tallon, Grout played in 51 Tests, taking 163 catches and 24 stumpings.

Grout claimed a record six catches in an innings on Test debut, and in February 1960 scooped a first-class record eight in an innings for Queensland against Western Australia.

He was also a batsman good enough to score a Test half-century as an emergency opener batsman, and a humorist with a touch of Australian comedian Lennie Lower. Asked by an Englishman if he'd attended a public school, he replied: "Eton. And drinkin'."

He ignored doctor's warnings about his weak heart and kept on playing until he was 39 - and died from a heart attack less than three years later.

A crowd pleasing batsman who loved to pull and hook, he played 86 Shield matches.
