Sad to hear of the death of John Woodcock - the Sage of Longparish - one of the great cricket writers.

He was writing for The Times when I first became interested in cricket and carried on well into this century. I thought he'd make the ton but fell a bit short.

Still, 94 is a good innings - a long life, well lived.

One of the great cricket writers along with E W Swanton, and CMJ.

The elite commentary and scribe team in the sky is now pretty complete.

On a day like this I feel ready to go.
