Episode 5
Rod 'Rocket' Lane joins the boys for the next installment of First Drop. Rocket hails from Corowa and dominated country cricket in the area for many years. Rocket also made his way to Carlton and was a highly respected opening bowler for their 1st XI side for six seasons. If not for a mismanaged knee injury, Rod would have very likely gone on to play state cricket. His handful games in the Victorian 2nd XI is testament to that.
