| Sutherland in her delivery stride |
Fantasy Bob would like to interrupt all the nonsense that is usually on these pages to pay a small tribute to a great Aussie - Dame Joan Sutherland whose death is reported today.
She will for ever be one of the greats of the game - opera's finest fast bowler.
FB was fortunate enough to see her play once - in a recital at the Usher Hall. Truly fantastic - the clarity and power of her tone all the way up the soprano register was something remarkable. Try her recording of Lucia di Lammermuir with Pavarrotti, a fabulous partnership going at full tilt. A great loss.
