Do You Remember that Day at the TCA?

Tasmania's victory yesterday in the final of the ING Cup (the Australian domestic one-day competition) had a special significance for me.

As I said to my son last night, "You know how I told you that Tasmania won their previous title 26 years ago... well Grandad and I were there."

So when I called Dad later in the evening he beat me to it: "Do you remember that day at the TCA in 1979?". We reminisced briefly and agreed that we remembered many excited Tasmanians, but I had to admit that I didn't remember too many of the players.

Today I looked up the scorecard and it makes interesting reading. For example, one DC Boon batted number 7 for Tasmania; he would have been 18 then.

Anyway, good on you Tassie!
