Greg Chappell once said he only knew of two teammates who would kill to play Test cricket - Ian Redpath and Rod Marsh.
Redpath, a key member of Australia's powerful teams during the mid-1970s, has joined former captain Marg Jennings as the latest inductees into the national cricket hall of fame.
Jennings captained Australia to their first one-day World Cup title in 1978 and later chaired the women's national selection panel.
Jennings rang Ellyse Perry in 2007 to break the news that she would make her Australian one-day debut.
She also had the distinction of being the first Australian wicketkeeper to score a century against England.
The opener scored a ton at Edgbaston in 1976, a year before Marsh's century in the Centenary Test at the MCG.
Redpath was a tall, angular opener who scored 4737 runs at 43.45 with eight centuries in 66 Tests.
He was a highly popular player who was vice-captain under Ian Chappell as Australia routed England in the 1974-75 Ashes series and also for the 1975-76 series win over the emerging West Indies team.
An international comeback with World Series Cricket cost Redpath, but he returned to coach Victoria and the 81-year-old remains active in the game in Geelong.
Jennings, also from Victoria, played eight Tests and 12 one-day internationals.
Now 73, she was a national selector for 19 years and is revered as one of the pioneers of Australian women's cricket.
