Sad news for cricket fans tonight as it was announced that Damian sadly passed away at only 53. Remember him well as a good solid pro' for Worcester in the late 80's.
RIP. Very sad. A great cricketing family. Just over 2 years since Basil passed.
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.

His lad is on the staff at Worcestershire I think.
Three generations like the Cowdreys.
