A lot of things are extraordinary about Bobby Simpson's long association with the game. The most famous aspect about him is coming out of international cricket retirement to captain Australia at the age of 41 in 1977 when the top players joined Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket.

The fact that Simpson (79) has been part of four World Cup teams is incredible too. Cricket's first international team coach guided Australia to victory in the 1987 World Cup before the 1992 and 1996 editions.
