Neil Harvey says he feels like a shag on a rock following the death of fellow Australian cricket great Arthur Morris.
Around 200 attendees filed into the SCG for a public memorial service on Tuesday to pay their respects to Morris, considered amongst the best ever left-handed batsman.
Morris' death last month at the age of 93 leaves Harvey as the last surviving member of the "Invincibles" team led by Don Bradman which conquered all on their 1948 tour of England.
His wife Judith sat in the front row and former Australian captains Ian Chappell and Michael Clarke along with former Prime Minister John Howard were among the attendees who passed through the Arthur Morris gates to pay their respects.
"Unfortunately he's left me on my own now," Harvey said.
"All the old Invincibles are gone.
"I feel like a shag on a rock."
At age 18 in 1940 he played his first game for NSW at the SCG against Queensland, where he also became the first player to score two centuries in his first class debut.
He finished his Test career, which spanned 1946 to 1955, with 3533 runs, an average of 46.48, 12 centuries, 12 fifties and a highest score of 206.
He is also credited with scoring the most forgotten century in Test cricket.
Morris was at the non-striker's end when Bradman was dismissed for a duck in the final Test of the 1948 tour at The Oval.
He went on to score 196 which sealed an innings victory for the tourists but was quickly forgotten as Bradman was denied the opportunity to end his career with an average of more than 100.
A well-rounded sportsman, he excelled at several sports during his younger years and represented his state at schoolboy level in tennis and rugby union. When he turned his back on rugby to dedicate himself to cricket, the story made the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald the next day.
"He's been very popular all around the world, not just with his own players, but with the opposition players and also the people that pay and watch the game," Harvey said.
"He'll always be remembered for his generosity and he always put himself out to try and help people whether it's on the pitch or anywhere else. He gave all his time to helping other people."
