Dav Whatmore was a right handed batsman who played all his Test cricket for Australia in 1979 against Pakistan and India. Averaging only 22.54 as a middle order player didn't help him make it into the eighties and past the Packer era, however in only seven matches he took 13 catches, six of them in one match! He was a superb slip fielder.

 

Whatmore retired in 1988 to concentrate on coaching. He has coached Sri Lanka twice, once helping his native country (born in Colombo in 1954) to life the world cup in 1995-6 and again after a brief dalliance with Lancashire. He is now coaching Bangladesh and has just guided his team to their first ever series win against Zimbabwe, winning their first Test match in four years.
