.I will never forget Bob taking out the Aussies in 81 - RIP - I did not even know he was ill.
will always be remembered for that Ashes Series....RIP Bob
Indeed. Had a bit of a soft spot for him on the debate but glad he wasn't on the main commentary team recently. I love how he morphed into some kind of weird archetypal old bloke, but he added his own middle name (Dylan) because he was a right hippy. Good stuff. RIP.

I got married that weekend.
The cricket was the highlight of the weekend.
They call it the Botham test, but it was Willis and Botham who won that match.
Sad day. I shall raise a glass with my wife tonight.
RIP.....lad. You were a credit to your sport and mankind.
Didn't realise that he was ill, or in his 70's. F*ck i'm getting an old bastard too.
Got to be opening the bowling when he get's upstairs.....had a mean bouncer on him. Him and 'Beefy'....what a pair!

RIP., Bob Dylan Willis, great sportsman and knowledgeable pundit, and good taste in music.

Definitely ranks as one of my favourite cricketers in my lifetime. Consistently good, despite having dodgy knees. A great character. Loved to watch him on 'The Verdict'. Think he would have been great on a forum like this. A sad loss to cricket. RIP Sir!
Just re-watched the clip that SAFCY posted. That bouncer to Trevor Chappell was just brilliant. Fast, chest high rising to the head - simply unplayable. I'm sure it would have gotten many a modern day cricketer out.
