One of Australia’s most famous baggy green cricket caps is up for auction. Allan Border’s cap is expected to reach more than $20,000 when it goes under the hammer as one of five baggy greens up for grabs at Leski Auctions in Hawthorn later this month. It is believed to be the first-ever Border baggy green to go on sale. The cap is among more than $30,000 worth of memorabilia – including a signed bat and other caps and shirts – once owned by one of Australia’s most distinguished cricket captains. The collection is owned by Keith Attree, a former long-time room attendant at the WACA in Perth, who is now in his 70s.

Phar Lap died in the United States in 1932. Harry Telford's tonic recipe book documents the treatments given to the horse. It appears to back up the theory that Phar Lap was accidentally poisoned by an arsenic-laced tonic given to him by his handler, Tommy Woodcock. Auctioneer Charles Leski says the potions included other ingredients like strychnine, cocaine and caffeine. "It certainly explains many decades later why there was so much poison arsenic, primarily in the great Phar Lap at the time he died," he said. The diary has been purchased by Melbourne Museum.
