It is rather ironic that Basil D'Oliveira should die this week. RIP Basil For those that this means nothing to.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/15803140.stm
RIP Dolly. Great innings, style maintained throughout. Very impressive. South Africa's loss was always our gain. Thanks for that.
First and foremost a truly wonderful cricketer who didn't make his debut for England until he was past his best. Will be remembered forever as the catalyst to South Africa's deserved long exile from major sport but it shouldn't detract from his rightful place among the best cricketers of his generation. RIP Dolly.
