RIP The Boil

[undyingking]

Very sorry to hear about the death of Trevor Bailey overnight. He was a living legend in Essex when I was a kid, perhaps the most eminent of our former players – 28,000 runs and 2000 wickets for the county, and 61 England caps. Plus of course one would regularly hear his brisk and reassuring tones on Test Match Special. I never met him, but he gave the strong impression of a decent sort: serious, hard-working, unflashy, but amiable and easily amused.

Hmm, wonder why?
