Len Maddocks died in Australia. Pic expiredcricketer.blogspot.com[/caption]Internet Desk: Australia lost its oldest surviving test player Len Maddocks(90). He made his Test debut at his home ground, the MCG, against England in 1954-55. However, he played only seven test matches for the country.
Maddocks had become Australia's oldest living Test cricketer last year after the death of Arthur Morris; the oldest now is opening batsman Ken Archer(88).
Maddocks was second in line to Gil Langley as Australia's wicketkeeper during the mid-1950s. Although he went on numerous tours with the Australian side, Maddocks' chances in the Test XI were limited.
