Alan Davidson 1929-2021

[Zinzan]

RIP to one of the most underrated ATGs.

 

[honestbharani]

Left arm swing bowler and a hard hitting lower order batsman.

Yet you hate Starc.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Vale.

One of the greats, without any doubt.

It's maybe because of the era he played in, but he still seems to be slightly undervalued, despite the stellar figures.

He is always one of my first draft picks, if that helps.

RIP

A obviously great player who doesn't seem to have entered into cricketing folklore (here in the UK at least) in the same way that Miller and Lindwall before him and Lillee after him have. Based on his record he was no less a player than any of them.

 

[The Sean]

Very sad news but a tremendous innings.

RIP to an absolute champion cricketer and, it would seem, an absolute champion bloke.

 

[smash84]

RIP

 

[flibbertyjibber]

RIP.

On a sad day for Australia I hope the 3rd bit of bad news was the match today.

 

[Burgey]

Nah it was Bert Newton unfortunately

 

[Spikey]

It's sad how deep down this news is buried on the ESPNcricinfo landing page

It's at the top for Aust. edition and the first non T20 WC story for the Global edition. entirely reasonable imo

 

[nightprowler10]

Only found out about him through CW and really grew to respect his career over the years. RIP.

Ah ok. I was looking at India edition where it was very low on the page

 

[Slifer]

RIP Legend!!!

That’s be right. There’ll be some story about Sachin’s nephew twice removed making 25 in an under 12s game. Far more important tbh

 

[Migara]

RIP, has claims for being the greatest left arm test bowler,
