Sad news.
Yes indeed. RIP.Sad news.
West, Laker, Benaud and Graveney......BBC summers were great weren't they? RIP.
RIP Tom. Bloody good cricketer and I also enjoyed his expert summarising - was around a lot when I was a cricket-mad youngster (Botham era).

In my list of the most "graceful" or "stylish" English batsmen of all time, Tom Graveney is in the top 3 with David Gower and someone else...
R.I.P.
Frank Woolley was meant to be pretty stylish.
Agree totally about Graveney, a class act in every way. I remember his England comeback when he was 40 (or very near 40), always looked at ease at the crease.
He was also really helpful to Basil D'Oliveira when he was starting out in England and firm supporter of him against the cricket establishment. A great cricketer, great commentator, great administrator ... great guy
