Thirsty Lizard 3,211 Posted December 4, 2019 Very sad news. Big Bob had a totally distinctive bowling style - and I'll never forget his 8 for 43 at Headingley in 1981. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,709 Posted December 5, 2019 He was possessed against the Aussies in that fantastic Headingley test, Out of this blur of arms, legs, teeth & hair a cricket ball would somehow emerge hurtling towards an Australian wicket. God knows what it was like facing him. Loved his curmudgeonly persona too. You could tell his tongue was lodged firmly in his cheek (well most of the time). RIP Bob. You'll always be a hero to me.

Dame to Blame 108 Posted December 6, 2019 I loved his commentary and he tended to call a spade a bloody shovel lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,573 Posted December 6, 2019 I'm too young to remember him as a player, but I've seen lots of him as a pundit. I know a lot of people have criticised him in the past for being boring and miserable, but I personally always enjoyed listening to his brutally honest and blunt remarks delivered in his deadpan tone. I'll miss him. RIP, Bob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
