    RIP Billy but he was up against much better players for an England spot.

    That pic of Billy Bonds made me wonder if Admiral still existed. Apparently it does but I can’t see that their shirts are worn by any significant teams.

    Probably the best square cutter of the ball I've ever seen. RIP Robin

    He said he suffered from mental health issues and had said, he’d tried to take he life, twice.
    Very sad indeed. Great batsman.
    Footnote- I’m not aware of his cause of death at the time of writing but after reading about a brief on him, he surely suffered, again, a very sad situation of a former great English batsman. Condolences to his family.
    RIP Robin Smith
