Very sad loss. RIP Roy

Remember him playing very well with the bat on the 1965/66 Ashes tour. Came from a real cricketing family with a father who played one Test opening with Hutton pre-war and a son who went on to represent Hampshire. Jim (and Jim Snr) were Sussex stalwarts , though he actually finished his career at Somerset. Reckon he would have done well in the white ball game had it been around in those days...
RIP.
