http://yorkshireccc-comms.com/1AFM-4SPDD-31MWAJTA59/cr.aspx Sad news. One of Yorkshire's great batsmen from the Boycott and Close era. England player and top class umpire as well. I remember watching him smacking the ball around Headingley when I first start going there in the 1970s.
Kinda remember him being Captain for a while. Mi dad use to love him and Sir Geoffrey opening for Yorkshire... RIP indeed.
Correct. Sad loss, I spoke to him once when I lived in Cambridge at the usual pre-season game against the University.
Was at Lords to see that century, which I felt at the time would lead to him playing many more test matches, but sadly it wasn't to be.
