Wow - one of my favourites, such a great fielder.
Does that mean you are also related to Wally Edwards ?
I thought Wally and Ross were brothers but I'm not certain.
Ross was also one of the main singers on "Here come the Aussies" from memory.
I know Wally is still very prominent in administering the game - what is Ross up to ?
Yes, a part from his batting forte, Ross specialised as a cover fieldsman and also back up (pardon the pun) wicket keeper for Australia & WA.
Ross & Wally are not brothers or related.
Below, is a photo of Ross & his Father who also played first class cricket for WA, taken in Sussex England at an Australian Tour Match.

I think Wally has some sort of role with the WACA admin.
Ross now lives within easy walking distance of the Cottesloe Golf Club.
Each year he volunteers down at Cottesloe Beach at the annual Sculptures by the Sea Exhibition.
A few more photos that maybe of interest below...
