Andrew McNeill's 201 First grade wickets place him among the greats of the grade and although fifth in aggregate (Cooke, Smith, Joice, MacKenzie), his strike rate/season of 29 is only topped among the quicks by only by Tom Cooke (34).

Among the comments pasted on the Waratahs Facebook page calling out his birthday was this, from a then very young lad in short pants, upon whom Rattler made a deep impression.

"I still remember as a youngster one day at training watching him bowl from the long run to some poor victim, that I have never seen a bowler as fast as him. And that includes watching test matches etc. Frighteningly quick..." The fact Martin Hadfield went on to be an Paramedic gives the comment even greater gravitas!
