Ross had an amazing throwing arm from a little kid. It meant he was a great cricketer growing up and I have some good memories going back to South Africa before we emigrated to the UK. One of those was on holiday in SA (after we left) staying across the house across the street from where we used to live and playing in this extremely long back garden. Ross would be at the furthest point at the bottom of the garden and throw tennis balls (I think they were) as far as he could up the garden. They would fly a long way and I remember as a kid being amazed that they were so much further than anything I could throw, almost like a super-kid had thrown them. I would usually be competitive and not like losing but this was a rare time I just was amazed and realized this was pure talent, and appreciated it.
Unfortunately I don't have any footage of his throwing so have included Ross' mad footy skills:
