Former Test Cricketer And Wife Injured In Lake Macquarie Attack

BY IAN CROUCH

 Former test cricketer, Robert 'Dutchy' Holland and his wife are continuing to recover from a horrific  attack at Awaba at the weekend, allegedly involving two trail bike riders.

They were allegedly assaulted after telling the pair not to ride on the local cricket field.

69-year-old Holland suffered broken teeth, while his 68-year-old wife Carolyn was treated for broken ribs.

A 31-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman have been charged over the incident.

Bob Holland has told the Ten Network one of the riders lost his temper when he told him to stop riding on the cricket field.

"..and I approached them and said you can't ride your bike there. Then he went berserk," he said.
