Al Bundy Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 How sad. Had trouble with depression that I remember. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkieontheTyne Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Jeez. And at just 55. He left the England coaching set up when he was admitted to hospital maybe a year ago, and nothing was mentioned about his condition, until today. That innings he played alongside Nasser against the Aussies at Edgbaston, pure class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 He batted. He was a man. So he was a batsman. Yet the BBC insists on calling him a 'batter', as if he were a pourable dough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t talk about bowlsmen, they’re referred to as bowlers, so why not batters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staninoodle Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Superb batsman, saw him many times drag an England innings out of the doldrums, he had battles with depression and sadly he lost that battle, great shame for his loved ones. I will always have fond memories of his on field achievments. RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
