Just heard this announced on the news - Jane McGrath, wife of cricketer Glenn McGrath lost her long battle with cancer. I didn’t know much about her until I saw this interview with [Andrew Denton](http://www.abc.net.au/tv/enoughrope/transcripts/s2222614.htm), where she proved to be a funny, lively woman, with a fantastic attitude. My thoughts go out to her family.

A shame. She seemed a very nice woman. Brave, too.
