Ken Archer, Australian Test Cricketer, has died aged 95. A hit for me https://www.cricket.com.au/news/ken-archer-dies-australia-test-cricketer-oldest-male-queensland-captain-neil-harvey/2023-04-18 FYI - Faith Thomas, Australia's First Aboriginal Woman Test Cricketer died the day after. Sadly I thought she had died previously......

Well done Death Impends, and like ladyfiona, thanks to An Fear Beag for running the pool. For an Aussie from convict blood, who can't add up or read rules correctly, I am pleased that I was in the top 10 for the 1st time ever. Yeah me! Good luck to all for the new year.

You're a good man, despite what others say!!!! Thanks mate.

250 point bonus if one of your "celebrities" dies on 31st December in that game year (i.e a 31st death will score 614 points in a normal year or 615 points in a leap year rather than the 364 or 365 points it would normally accrue)

Reported here that Vatican stated he died at 9.34 am Saturday......

I have had another of my picks bite the dust. Frank Prihoda died on the 10th Nov 2022, aged 101. Link https://www.olympedia.org/athletes/96586

But is he really dead! We have had reports saying he is dead & then reports saying it was a hoax??

Shame but a relief for her family I suppose. I had her too.

I dropped Larry Storch off this year for Linda Ronstadt. Smart move right?? So far 1 hit for the year, oh dear me.

You would almost qualify for an Aussie. We all are bit thick this time of year. Cricket & beer responsible.
