Sad day for Essex and English cricket.

I met him a number of times throughout my own amateur career and he was always friendly, modest and interested in fellow cricketers at all levels.

I never really warmed to him on TMS but still sad to see him go like that.

 

[Keith Oates]

Sad to read that news, he was certainly a very good England and Essex cricketer

RIP Trevor Bailey...there's a sturdy commentary team taking shape for Heaven XI v Malcolm Marshall All Stars XI

Poor old Trev

Along with Freddie Trueman he was one of the last crusty old curmudgeonly TMS commentators.

The Boil. RIP

No body should die that way.

R.I.P.

I read this article on cricinfo last month: it gives an insight into his character!
