An R.I.P For Cricket Oldies

[Hot Shot Hamish.]

One of the few who scored 100 first class centuries. I remember his triple against New Zealand and also recall him being horrifically felled after being hit on the head by a bouncer from Peter Pollock of South Africa from which retired hurt. No helmets in those days. I think he suffered from that for some time after. A great player RIP John.

I’m guessing you already know, but when both Boycott and Edrich reached their hundredth hundred Graham Roope was their partner at the non strikers end.
