Sydney: Australian Test leg-spinner Bob ‘Dutchy’ Holland died Sunday following a battle with brain cancer, aged 70, his family said. Holland was diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer in
late March and had surgery a week later to remove part of the tumour, followed by chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Holland made his Test debut in 1984 at the age of 38 and spun Australia to victory with 10 wickets against the West Indies at the Sydney Cricket Ground in early 1985. Overall he played 11 Tests for Australia and picked up 34 wickets.
