Just heard the news.

Very sad. RIP.

He was part of Durham CC's campaign to become a first class county.

Always so graceful in his stroke play-a pleasure to watch. Only became an established Test player when in his thirties-a lesson there for our present selectors.
Coincidentally his elder brother Ken,a past Gloucester captain,passed away last week.

Cannot remember the player, but enjoyed his commentary.

RIP

He was actually the first commentator I remember funnily enough.

Him and Ray Illingworth, oh and Benaud, back in the BBC days.

Absolute joy to watch alongside the likes of May, Cowdrey, Dexter and Barrington.

RIP Tom - a wonderful player and great servant to English cricket.

Tom's older brother Ken died last week too.

Looking at around 18 consecutive hours of cricket, just a shame there is no cricket from 6pm to Midnight.

Yep, most interested in Pakistan v Nepal and England v HK.
