    Well said Bermuda_red.
    The raw stats, of course, wouldn't say so but if the term "all-round cricketer" included not only ability with bat and ball but also good sportsmanship and conducting oneself on and off the field with total integrity, Dolly was the finest all-round cricketer I've ever seen play for England.
    A great cricketing family indeed.
  • Sad news RIP.
  • I met Damian once at Hove, and a lovelier guy you could not wish to meet.
    Very sad.
