Walker, who had cancer, played 34 Tests between 1972 and 1977, taking 138 wickets at an average of 27.47.
Cricket Australia chief executive officer James Sutherland said: "The cricket world will be deeply saddened to hear of Max's sudden passing.
"He was a great character, with a big smile and positive approach to life. He will be sadly missed."

One of my favourite cricketers of the 70's. He was also a best selling author (humorous books) and was an Australian Rules footy player prior to switching to cricket.
Never saw him without a smile on his face. RIP Maxie Walker! :\'(

I am trying hard to remember if I met at the 1997 Ashes.
Indeed a sad loss.
