Sad loss.

I used to watch all the test matches on TV years ago until Sky took over.

One of the legends - RIP

Sad news, I watched Bob Willis many times in the days when I followed cricket religiously.

RIP Bob.

Remember the Botham Headingley Test?
It was Bob's wickets what won it.

Same here Meg, seventies/early eighties was the golden age in my opinion. I don't really follow it now they are all wearing crash helmets and multi-coloured outfits.
