AUSTRALIAN cricket legend Bob Cowper has passed away aged 84.
The former Ashes star passed away on Saturday morning after a long battle with cancer.
Cowper, one of the most technically gifted batsmen of his era, is survived by wife Dale and daughters Olivia and Sera.
A mainstay of the Australian Test side between 1964 and 1968, Cowper racked up 2061 runs across 27 matches at a formidable average of 46.84 – including five centuries.
Australian cricket is now in mourning as tributes pour in for the late legend.
