Ian Ritchie Redpath (born 11 May 1941, Geelong, Victoria) is a former Australian cricketer who played in 66 Tests and 5 ODIs from 1964 to 1976. Educated at Geelong College, Redpath played first-class cricket for Victoria in 92 matches scoring 6,103 runs with a highest score of 261 made in only his tenth first-class innings, scored in February 1962 against a Queensland attack including Wes Hall. He made his test debut on New Year’s Day at Melbourne in the second test of the 1963-64 series against South Africa. Opening the batting with Bill Lawry, the pair added 219 before Redpath was bowled on 97. Redpath was the last Australian test cricketer to play as an amateur. He declined the match fee in his early tests in order not to jeopardise his amateur football career.[1] With his lean, gangly body and long neck, Redpath attracted the early nickname “Gandhi” among his team mates.
